How can you tell?
Hey, I'm 17/f
I was just wondering... how can you tell if you are in love? Are there signals he'll send you? I need any kind of advice because I think I'm in love but I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance!

Love cannot be explained or defined. Its a feeling that has such a broad range of definitions. Its a feeling that you get only when your around him, a feeling that cannot be explained nor duplicated, its an intense feeling of wanting, needing towards one special person and is shared between two people. It is often mistaken for other things, or so I've heard. Basically, you just have to figure out for yourself if your in love or not & only your heart can do that, noone else.

Love feels like dying. Profound answer yes?

There really isn't a "sign" you're in love. You just kinda know.

if you're in love, you'll know < 3 you will know. because its different from anything youve ever felt before.

Hey. Well since this isn't a RIGHT/WRONG answer sinc eit's not math or science I can only tell you what I think in my perspective. If we are talking about being IN LOVE (not just loving your boyfriend as a person... which most people don't even love their friends as people) then I think you need to think about a few things. Once, are you TRULY WILLING if the time came to sacrifise your happiness by letting him be with somebody else. Don't pay attention to the circumstances because it's a hypothetical situation. If you and him couldn't be together for a reason (...maybe you were moving, maybe it's a drastic soap opera moment where your parents send you to a convent, or maybe he stops liking you/loving you one day, just random examples) would you want him to be with somebody else (even if you didn't like the girl personally) who was a good person and made him happy? Of course it would be DIFFICULT to see it or accept it, but deep down, would you feel some sense of ease knowing that HE's happy? Be honest with yourself. Also, is there anything you could have that would make him dumping you ok? like if someone gave you an ipo and say a thousand dollars, would you be okay with it and move on with your life? Just things to think about. Lust and lvoe can be very confusing because lust is being crazy about someone but you're crazy about someone when you're in lvoe too. It's not common for people to actualy FALL IN LOVE when they are still teenagers but it's not impossible. Just think about your feelings and how honest and sincere they are and your intentions. Also think if you see a future with this guy and if you WANT a future with this guy (i'm not saying to start considering marriage, just think for a moment of the possiblity... does it scare you? does it weird you out? is it something convenient? something you could live with? or something you might really want someday?) Well don't open the door to strangers...

When your in love, your pupils dialate whenever you think or see them. Doubt you can look at your eyes much tho to no...A much easier way is to just follow your heart instead of your brain. If your mind says your not in love but 2 seconds later you cant stop thinking about them, your in love. You can't spend one day without thinking and smiling about them. You love his/her imperfections nomatter how much you hate them in other people.

wow great question. listen, its just a wonderful feeling you get inside. but here are some signs from personaly experience...
1.you get butterflies in your stomach whenever you see them
2. your constantly thinking of them
3. no madder where you are, you know you would rather be with that person
and if you want to know if he loves you
1. he'll give you a look like he doesnt give anyone else (i cant explain it but when he gives it to you, you'll know.
2. you might catch him staring at you durring class
3. lots of extra flirting

Well, if you think you are then you probably are! Saying "I love you" shouldn't be as big of a deal as it is. You can feel love for someone at any time and your feelings can always change. My guess is that since you are questioning it that you do love him. To love somebody doesn't mean loving everything about them either so keep that in mind. Everyone has their own definition of love and over time they can come up with ways to tell if they love someone. What you need to do is think of someone that you love (like a parent) and someone that you don't. Try to come up with something that makes your feelings for those two people different. This little trick is different for everyone, but I can give you a few ideas. The way that I tell if I love someone is if I feel comfortable being alone with them. There's more to it than that, but that is basically what I ask myself when I get confused about love. Someone else I know decides by imagining he was stranded on an island. If he would eat the person to stay alive then he doesn't love them. Creepy, but it does kind of work. Don't try it with too many people in a row though because you'll get really weirded out. Eventually, you should come up with your own way of telling. I hope that I helped you and good luck!
