How do you know if you love someone? I think I love my bgf, but how can I be sure? We both like each other, but can't have a relationship now (complicated). I think I may love him tho actually I think I do because I mean I'm a very emotional person and I love all my friends and stuff and loving people isn't very hard for me (like friend wise) but I think I love him. I love him as a very good friend at least. Also if you have been best friends with a boy for a while and then you date is it kind of weird to start hugging and stuff. When you haven't for so long? And we've watched and supported each other in other relationships with each others best friends. So if/when we date is it weird to start hugging and stuff? Thanks so much! And i rate.

loving someone.. and being in love with someone are two completely different things.
you can love someone without being in love with them. if your questioning the idea of loving him, and you yourself arent sure, it probably isnt quite love.

as far as it being weird to hug, and get closer than you two are used to with each other... just go for it. it may be wierd the first few times, but you have to break the ice at some point or another :)
