People sometimes talk about 'just knowing' that they are in love. This on the one hand seems to be all there is to it, but on the other hand totally inadequate, because how do you "just know"?
The truth is, you just have to look inside yourself and be honest about how you feel. Love is difficult to define, and there are different types of love. But ask yourself questions to discover how you really feel - what are your feelings based on - appearances, or the 'whole package'? Can you see your feelings fizzling out? Are you thinking about the long term?
Sometimes romantic feelings can be completely overwhelming, and when we are blissfully happy we immediately want to call that 'love', but when the relationship fizzles out, you realise that though you maybe had passion and intensity, there were things missing and that you perhaps didn't feel for each other as strongly as you thought you did at the beginning. The sad truth is that this is something that is more often that not realised only after a relationship has ended.
Don't rush into declaring that you love somebody. Try to take a step back and look at your relationship from a distance - are you just infatuated and blinded by a new relationship, or are your feelings deeper?
As for telling if somebody else loves you, sadly, there just isn't a foolproof way, as people are capable of lying, misleading or ignoring their feelings. If you have a romantic relationship with somebody however, it should be based on mutual trust and understanding the nature of the relationship so that you shouldn't be questioning how they feel.
