cdouglas answered Tuesday April 17 2007, 2:31 am: being in love is very personal, perhaps the most personal experience you will ever have. However I believe in order to love someone you must first realize that they're not perfect, their imperfections are what makes them unique. Knowing someone's flaws lets you know them and when you know their flaws and still find that your life is better with them in it and you find that their happiness is more important to you than your own, that is love. Love means that your baggage and their baggage go together and you find that you depend on one another to make the load lighter. [ cdouglas's advice column | Ask cdouglas A Question ]

there is no defition that anyone can tell you
it is when you feel that feeling that is incredible
i think all i can tell you is that when you are in love you will know and itll be very evident to you
it is a great feeling but be careful because your heart is very fragile

When you see the person, your stomach jumps and your heart "flutters". You feel safest in their arms, you feel complete with them. It just feels generally right. There is also a feeling of exhilaration of just being in love. Like euphoric.
I wrote this in a blog entry a while ago, and I don't know if it's any help, but here:
"I was assigned to write a little dinky poem about opposites. That also got me thinking. I was going to write about love, but than realized there is no deffinite opposite for a word that contradicts itself constantly.
Finding love is considered hard, but falling in love is so easy. Staying in love is difficult, but falling out of it is painful. Love can be so extruciating and harsh and make you want to kill yourself, yet it makes life worth living for some. It's an indescribable feeling of delight, of wanting to spin around in joy while holding tight to your partners arms, bursting to the brim with passion. But when something takes a bad turn, it's like you've been thrown off a four story building and landed with a nice splat. Nothing seems worth it anymore when just the other day life was open to you. An aching feeling in the pit of your stomach replaces the urge to squeal in happiness, and your heart literally hurts. The most wondrous feeling is to be wanted, and the most diastrous feeling is to be unwanted. So simple to trip but so hard to get up. How can that have one definite opposite? It isn't hate. I have learned the hard way that it is not hate. It's just... broken."

Studies show that there are physical changes our bodies undergo when we're in love. Those changes last about a year and then it's on to the deeper kind of love that endures.
