Question

i think ive fallen in love with someone for the 1st time in my life but im not sure if its real love

Answer 1

Well, if it feels like someone has kicked you in the gut, you can't eat, you can't think about anyone else, your heart races at t the mere thought of them, you would die for them, you would spend your last penny for them, you want to inhale their total being, (am I getting close here), you visualize having children with them, I would say that you are getting pretty close to being in love with them.

Answer 2

You're middle-aged and dating, yet none of the men have caught your fancy. Until now. You like someone new, and hope he feels the same. Here are 11 signs that he's falling for you.

1. By his actions, he shows he's interested and wants to be with you. He holds your hand or takes your arm when you're stepping off a curb. He likes to hug you. He admits he's available and wants a relationship.

2. He enjoys surprising and pleasing you. It might be with flowers, a card or just a silly present. He takes initiative in planning activities he knows you enjoy: a picnic, a night at the theater, a movie or even dancing (for some guys, that's a big sacrifice).

3. He doesn't play games or make excuses. He doesn't wait a week to call, and when he says he'll call, he does. Instead of keeping you guessing, he wants you to know how he feels -- and he says he cares. Note: When men play games, they're either insecure or they want a conquest, not a relationship.

4. He's thoughtful. He opens doors and has you enter ahead of him. He cooks dinner when you've had a hard day. He'll bring hot soup when you're sick in bed, or make brunch on a Sunday.

5. He communicates. He looks you in the eye, listens and hears what you say. He's open, honest and willing to share his personal thoughts, which many men won't do. If he's trying to communicate, it's because he cares.

6. He wants you to meet his family and friends, and then he includes you in activities and holidays with them. This is big! A man won't introduce his new girlfriend to the most important people in his life unless she, too, is extremely important to him.

7. He's observant. He compliments you on your new dress, or says that you look nice when you've had your hair or nails done. When guys do this, they're paying attention.

8. He believes in you. He treats you with respect and appreciates when you do things for him. He doesn't judge and isn't critical. He accepts you as you are.

9. He offers to help. He'll fix your sprinkler heads, check the oil in your car, repair a leaking toilet or take out the garbage. He's Mr. Fix-It, but doesn't go overboard and become Mr. Pain-in-the-Rear-Fix-Everything.

10. Occasionally, he'll skip Monday Night Football with the guys to be with you. Of course, realize that this may mean the two of you watch Monday Night Football together instead.

When men care, they go the extra mile, and you'll know where you stand by the way you're treated. If the new guy in your life is doing some of these things, it means he cares. If he's doing all of them, he's hooked!

Good luck =)

Answer 3

Love has to grow, if you know this person really well and have been attracted to them for a long time, it just might be love.
Nobody here can tell you what love feels like, 'cause we all love differently, and we're not in the same stage of life as you are. I think love grows along with the person giving it. When you get older the love that matters to you will probly be from only one person and you'd do anything to make them happy. For right now, only you know if it's love. I guess the only answer to that lies in your heart.

Answer 4

We never know if it's real love for a long, long time! But, does it really matter if it's 'real' love or not? Enjoy your time together with this person who makes you feel great. Live each day to the fullest and be REAL with each other. You'll discover soon enough if it's real. Usually takes 1-2 years to really discover the true side of someone. Good luck!

Answer 5

Its just the way you feel....If this person touches you and you get weak,or when your around other girls/guys and the only person you can think about is your significant other. or when you get around them you become nervouse, or when all you want is for them to be happy. Are when your sitting at home watching your favorite movie or whatever it is that you do. And you realize that you dont want to be with anybody else but this person. And sex has nothing to do with it.(at least that is what i think). But i do know that it is different for everybody. But note that it may actually take awhile to find true love. So just enjoy this person and if you do love he/she then let them know it. cause only time can tell.... Good Luck

Common signs are:

When they are the first person you think about when you wake up and the last person you think about before you go to bed.

When you feel so satisfied that you don't feel hungry and start forgetting to eat.

When you pine like mad for them when they are not there.

When you find it hard to sleep and don't *really* know why.

When you notice the small things about them. the way the flick their hair and stuff like that.

When you look at yourself in the mirror and look into your pupils and then start to think about them your pupils dilate (get bigger).

When you can't get enough of them.

Some people experience all of these and more some don't experience many of these. AND this is more about the lust stage of falling in love. Remember there are MANY different types and stages of love.

Answer 7

You just know it in your soul. You are anxious to see them again after you have left them, you love talking to them for hours, you just want to be in the same room with them, even if you can't be right there beside them. You can talk about anything in the world, or nothing, and still be happy. You feel like you could climb a mountain with the adrenaline high you get from being around them. It is the most amazing feeling in the world--- enjoy it!

Answer 8

Consider this: would you want to marry the person? Don't picture the wedding, picture 4 years after the wedding. Will you still be happy after the excitement of a new relationship is over? If you really care about this person and can picture yourself doing mundane tasks (grocery shopping, fighting over bills) with them, then it might be love.

Answer 9

Is this someone you're dating? If not then it's probably just infatuation. But if you've been dating this person, it could be love.
Can you picture yourself being with this person down the road, marrying and having a family? Are they all you think about? Do they give you butterflies?
Ask yourself, listen to your heart.

Answer 10

The good news is, in about 20 short years you'll know for sure whether this is the real thing or not.
