My name is Lyndsey and I'm 17 years old. I live in Lexington, South Carolina. I pride myself on being mature for my age with a good head on my shoulders, but I find I can be snippy when I hear something that just hits a nerve. I have a lot of strong opinions and I have no problem arguing them. I'm a very open-minded person and very tolerant of most things.
Immaturity is a big pet peeve of mine, as is self-centered, narrow-minded, and ignorant people. I can be cruel when it comes to these things, but sometimes certain people need to be told their faults. I know mine and I have no problem being confronted with them. If someone has a problem with me, online or in person, I'd rather they tell me and we can resolve the issue in a mature fashion. I won't tell you want to WANT to hear, just what you NEED to hear.
On a less serious note, I'm a laid back person and I enjoy shopping, the internet, and my favorite TV shows (Queer as Folk, The L Word, Friends, American Idol, Will & Grace, House). I don't have a large group of friends, but the ones I have are close and I love them to death. I generally enjoy life, minus the whole school deal. I'm a junior in high school and I can't wait to move on to college. I am an honors student and I hope to go to the University of South Carolina and then eventually into the medical field, possibly psychology.
If you have any questions or want advice, I'm here for ya, babes.

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. (link)

If you were in love with this guy, you wouldn't be questioning it. Just the fact that you're asking people on a website how you can know if you love someone tells me that you don't REALLY love him. People say they love their friends all the time, but loving someone and being IN love with someone are two very different things. And if you ask me, people use the word love way too much and way too easily. I don't know your situation at all just by your question, and neither does anyone here, so we can't exactly TELL you how you feel, but perhaps it's just a crush.
As for hugging, dating isn't just hugging. Hugging your friends shouldn't be awkward or weird, but dating your friends can screw things up. Even if you both like each other and start dating, chances are once you break up your friendship will either end or be weird/awkward. Very few friends that date end up continuing the same friendship after you break up. And it would be pretty naive to think that at our age we're going to meet the person we'll be with forever...or even for a long time.
We can't tell you what to do, but those are just things to think about before you tell him how you feel.
