I know this may seem like a cliche' answer, but, When you are in love you will know it. When I found my spouse, it was very literally love at first sight. There was an instant attraction, and somehow I just knew that we were meant to be together. We have been married 7 years and are still going strong. But For those who have to work at things a little harder, I offer this advice. If you only have eyes for the person you are in love with, If others seem to fade and dissappear from your attraction, If you want nothing more in the world then to be with the person and make them happy then your on the right track... Also There are a few other tips. Imagine yourself living with the person at their worst, if that person is in the worst condition possible, sick, bedridden, vomiting, in adult diapers... IF you can imagine this, and your only wish is to care for the person even in this most wretched of states, if you could live with that and clean up after them and not be instantly appauled by the thought, if you could still love them and want to be with them EVEN then Then you pass the "love" test. - There are stories all over the place of couples who are truely in love that do this and even worse for one another. If you can't make those kinds of sacrifices, or don't think you will feel the same way when they are old and unattractive, then it's just infatuation.

Love is a time-tested thing. Infatuation happens early in a relationship, when you are just getting to know the person and (think) you love everything about them. Being in love with someone means you love them, faults known and accepted. Infatuation means you are blind to any faults the person might have. You quickly "wake up" from an infatuation.

The Way of Love
13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, [1] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; [2] 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Being in love with someone involves BOTH PARTIES feeling the same love towards eachother. You only LOVE someone if its onesided, or not equal to eachother, like you LOVE family, and friends. I also think being in love requires complete understanding of the other person involved. You not only understand them, but you full respect them and truly care about their decisions. I think being in love with someone is not only when you'd give up your happiness for them, but you dont have to because they would do the same for you. You compromise to make things work, and you are able to communicate without words what eachother wants. Its a complete understanding and mutual appreciation. Good luck

Well ... just some time will tell. Infatuation goes away after a while, as love does not! Give it some time...u got at least that right? Then you will see...there's no need to rush love anyway, just let it take its course. If not, dust it off and keep on truckin!

6 months will tell you. the things you are describing are infatuation. love cannot be built on feelings that make you put yourself second, as you describe. im guessing youre about 16. chill out. just make friends with people and learn about them. love doesnt distract you from acheiving your goals and growth. it sounds a bit desperate to me. like it has consumed your life. like you are willing to drop everything you need to do for yourself in order to be in this 'relationship'. no, what you describe is not love, its obsession (not healthy). talk to your mom, or one of your friends moms.

There is a fine line between lust and love, thats why you need to take time to make sure that you understand what your feelings are. Yes, it is possible to have both feelings at the same time, but alot of times, when the lust discipates, you find you love that person, but maybe you are not as "in love" as you thought. It takes time.

Maybe you love them like a brother. If you infatuated with someone, that has a lot to do with looks.

You can feel that way about good friends or family also! I know it's old fashion but, that's why experienced people will tell you to take your time and let the true feelings show themselves. Time is the answer I'm sorry to say.

You know when you are in love with someone when you look in there eyes. A persons eyes can tell you everything you need to know, and if not see how they act. My sister is in love and let me tell you they can just look at each other and know.
