How do I know if I am truly in love?

Answer 1

ask this same question to your wife in about 50 years or so, then you will know!

Answer 2

Well i'm not very sure myself. A lot of people don't really know. When it comes to true love it really depends on how the relationship is. If you can trust someone without ever worrying they are ever going to do something behind your back then thats one step closer to true love. But, true love seems to perfect. In some ways i don't think it appears in a relationship in the beginning or the middle. I think it all happens at the end of the relationship. For example, people are not perfect, so throughout relationships they make mistakes by not knowing and they learn from the mistakes they made and after a certain amount of time they tend to make less and less mistakes which means they are starting to know their partner much better. And after being with someone for so long and learning from all their faults and always respecting their partners wishes and trusting them and treating them the way you want to be treated, it will grow stronger and stronger. It will keep growing stronger and stronger as long as you don't do anything that could hurt the other person. It will grow stronger until forever as long as you feed it the trust, respect, and space it needs. Once a relationship comes to an end you'll know the answer then because that's when everything comes clear. For example, when an old couple has been together for over 60 years and has had a happy life always enjoying eachothers company and respecting and trusting eachother, then they are most likely closer to true love then a couple that has been together for 4 years because the old couple has been learning from eachother more and more and have been giving the other what they want to make the love stronger.

i did my best at this answer. It was very tough. But this is how i feel about it in some ways.

Answer 3

Thats a tough one. If your asking because your not sure about someone, well... you'll know your truely in love when nothing anyone can/will answer back to you in response to this question is going to change your mind.

With that said, you should probably just dump them because you really don't love them at all. I can tell, and I'm always 100% right.

Answer 4

when i am truly in love I care for someone very deeply & I would do anything to stop then from having pain, even if i was to suffer 100x that much pain, physical or emotional.

edit: just about all of the things people have aid, including me, could also just be infatuation

Answer 5

You can be truly in love more times than one so if you just love someone than you love them. There is no such thing as a soul mate. You will have many many true loves in your life. When you say 'thats it....Ill never love again...that is b/s. It happens over and over again. You just love someone and if you love them till you die then thats your true love.

Answer 6

could i make a list?

shallow things you do
1) she's the first person you think of when you wake up
2) she's the last person you think of when you sleep
3) you remember little details about her and you remember the events she's going to. i.e. she's going shopping next next saturday .. you know you don't let pass things like these because every thing about her matters to you.
4) she consumes most of your cellphone bills
5) you'd rather call her on the phone about something rather than just email it to her.. it shows that you want to spend the time with her and that you're willing to give up time for her

deep things you do
1) you listen to her more than you talk
2) you praise her more than you critisize her.. or simply put, what she feels matters to you
3) you see yourself spending the rest of your life with her
4) you stick with her whether she shows you the best or the worst side of her. you dont freak out and leave but you stay and love her just the same
5) you are yourself when you're with her. you're not afraid of who you really are because all that matters to you is being honest to her about who you are

finally
6) you become the best person you can be because of her. it's like the moment you wake up and think about her, you feel like you're the luckiest guy on earth because you know her and you're with her and it just makes everything else about the world seem a little bit better because you know that whatever comes your way, there's always her, and that's far more significant than any challenge you're going through

Answer 7

True love is picturing the object of your affection 40 years from now with wrinkles and the whole deal that age brings..

and still wanting to be with them completely.

Answer 8

To paraphrase the immortal words of chris rock:

"when you have truly contemplated homicide"

Answer 9

I guess if you love this person more than yourself, would die for them, put them ahead of yourself, want to be with them forever, value their hopes, dreams, desires, want to share yourself and your life with them, and dont care only about their money, family, or what they have, then I would say it is true love.

Answer 10

i think when you want to be with the person as often as possible but are also happy to be without them and have some space. when you really trust that person with all of your heart, and know they trust you in return. and when you have a lot of fun in the sack.
