* STEP 1: Clarify what love is for you. Write down all your thoughts and feelings about what a loving relationship would be like for you.
* STEP 2: Distinguish between love and lust or infatuation. Lust is an intense sexual desire. Infatuation refers to the initial stage of a relationship, when you are "crazy" about them, but this feeling usually fades over time.
* STEP 3: Ask other people how they define love or know if they love someone.
* STEP 4: Write down how you do feel about them. For example: you enjoy their company, have similar interests, feel safe, trust them, think they are attractive, etc.
* STEP 5: Think about how well the two of you relate to each other. For example: How well do you communicate with each other? How do you deal with conflict? Do you bring out good or bad parts of each other? Can you show different sides of yourself?
* STEP 6: Ask yourself if you see and accept them as a whole person. Love isn't just loving the parts of them you like, but choosing to love them overall.

it is just something that you feel deep down inside of you but if you want a detailed explanation, there is a song that is about this.
it goes "when your heart makes a sound like rolling thunder, and your arms are wrapped around an angel from above, and when the earth begins to shake because it can feel the love you make that how you know when you're in love." hope this helps. good luck.

Only time will honestly tell if your in love. When your in love you will give anything for that person. The only thing I can compare it to is that when you have a baby and you have that unconditional love that you think can never be for another. That is the same kind of love that you should have for your partner. Where sometimes your just miserable without them. And when your together everything is right......
I remember that feeling.

If you are unable to see the person and you miss them. If you get along with them and are closer to them more than anyone else and care about them a lot, you might be in love. When they are one of the few people who "get" you. My guy knows exactly what to say to make me laugh and smile. I don't have that connection with anyone else, and I don't think I ever have. Sometimes when you are with the person for a long time (years) you take the person you love for granted, but if you lost them today you would be devastated.

God created mankind to be in love with each other. The feelings that you acquired from within yourself speaks for itself. Too many reasons that you fall in love with somebody or anybody. Adolescent age tends to acquired such feelings between you and the opposite sex. But, really, falling in love creates a turbulent emotion every second of your life. You tend to care, protect, support, etc. for the one you love. Even though making you fool, you have to do it because of your love. But, too much love can ruin your life. Never indulge in anything, like love that can damage you, your love, family and other people.
Try to feel it the natural way. It will blossoms from the passage of time until you're mature enough to understand. Enjoy life to the fullest with somebody that you love. It will bring happiness and fulfillment until you die.

This sounds really stupid, but when you are in love, you will just know. I had a teacher in High schiool tell me that, and I thought she was crazy! When I met my husband, I Knew that I could love him for the rest of my life, that even when he is fat and ugly I will be with him, and that I would notbe complete if we wer enot together.

That is a hard one; imagine this person is the ugliest person ever and if you still want to be with them then it could just be love.
