Okay so, I'm going out with this guy, and I think I might be in love with him. I posted a question like this before but the answers didn't really work outt, people said you just feel it, I think I feel it but I want to make sure, I think I may be in love with him.
So my question is how do you TRULY know if your in love?
-The happiness, security, and development of the other's is at your attention
-You put the other person's needs before your own
-Love with that person brings you closer to the other people that love you (parents, grandparents, friends) because real love makes you whole
-Love is also emotional, intimate, sharing, caring, acceptance, understanding, forgiving, committing, and includes some physical attraction
...so that's the checklist. But love is different in every situation, those are just the occaisonal common characteristics
There's a chance that it's not love but just infatuation, which is basically all about the physical stuff, and it's normal, it just doesn't last long.

You don't notice any of his flaws, you are totally comfortable with him, you know him really well, you never get tired of him, you don't mind spending night and day with him... actually if you LOVE spending night and day with him. If you truly believe he is THE ONE and you love him and you want to spend the rest of your life with him. That's "IN LOVE." Now, DO NOT get "in love" confused with "love," two totally different things. IN LOVE is way more meaningful, and really for older serious people. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
