kevin1986 answered Saturday October 29 2005, 12:33 pm: Love-the ability to see through people's fault and still care about them. You can't tell whether you're in love with someone. Ever. Love is unchangeable. People are not unchangeable. I'm 19. [ kevin1986's advice column | Ask kevin1986 A Question ]

love...
just loving someone, is like loving them as a friend or a parent.
but being in love.. is like.. wow... amazing
you get flushed when you talk to him, and you scribble his name in your notebook and you cant get him out of your head and he's the first thing you think about in the morning and the last thing you think about at night.
you can tell when your in love, when you want to be in his arms forever and you want to just have him hold you forever, and want him to baby you and treat you special. [ shrink2be's advice column | Ask shrink2be A Question ]

love to me is unconditional bond between two people, who are there for oneanother in good and bad times, who would sacrifice something of thereself in hopes of helping the other. i think you are in love when you get that kind of dizzy, silly almost uncontrollable feeling when the one you love is around.

DrAnqel answered Wednesday September 21 2005, 11:00 pm: Love is different to everyone I believe. But I do believe strongly in all kinds of love, friends, family, significant others, etc. How do you know you're in love? It's not something you'll know by reading a book on it, it's just a feeling that only comes around once, maybe a couple times in a lifetime. How would I define love? A strong emotion that is unlike any other, you feel it all the time, regardless whether you're in love with a particular person or not, it comes in all shapes and sizes and in all forms. Love makes the world go 'round, and the more you have in your life, the better. Love, it's; compassion, excitement, passion, intimate, friendly, attraction. Of course, you don't feel all these feelings towards one particular thing. You can love your mom, your dad, food, pet, plant, couch, boyfriend, girlfriend, brother, sister, but not all in the same way. It's a very complicated emotion, but it's hard to miss once uncovered.

mooch789 answered Tuesday September 20 2005, 6:40 pm: I would define love as finding that one special person and never letting go of them. When you're in love with someone, you can't stop thinking about them and miss them terribly when they are away from you. Hope I helped! [ mooch789's advice column | Ask mooch789 A Question ]

HectorJr answered Monday September 19 2005, 10:20 pm: Love is in some ways instinct. Nobody sits you down and teaches you what love is or how to love, but you already know how. You cannot define love, because love is infinite. It can be described the same exact way by 10 different people, but still be compltley different to them and how they feel.
Love is in some ways a neccessity. When doesn't somebody want to be loved? Most people find it easy to love those who love them...but the more difficult part would be loving those who don't love you back. Stop for one moment and ask yourself: where would you be in nobody loved you? Would you have been aborted? Would you have been adopted? Would you have a family or any of the things you have now? Love is essential, not just for survival, but for growing as well. The amount of love somebody receives, as well as how often or in what ways does actually affect a person's way of thinking. Thoughts lead to actions, which in turn leads to personality and quite possibily characteristics.
Love is not limited. You can love ice cream, your best friend, your spouse, your parents, and your pet dog; but all in the same way? Of course not. There are different levels and different ways of expressing each. Love does not always have to be mutual. You may love candy, but the candy won't love you back. Some person you don't get along with might love you, and you might not back. Therefore it is not limited to how much you love something or someone, or how you do so.
As for telling is you are in love with somebody? That's completley up to you. You know yourself better than anyone else. There isn't a set requirement for feelings that you need to have or a test you should pass to see if you really love somebody. The better question is not 'if', but 'why'. If you can answer why you think you may be in love with somebody, then you might find it easier to better answer the question 'if you are in love with somebody'. It may not be love after all, or it very much could be. You might be able to feel it (instinct), you might feel a desire for it (nessecity), and/or you might feel different variations of it (limitations). There is no set definition of what love is or how to express it. There are many positive ways as well as negative ways to express it, don't get me wrong. In many more ways, love is more than a feeling, a thought, a desire, or instinct. It's in its own group... [ HectorJr's advice column | Ask HectorJr A Question ]
