Do I Love Him?


Question Posted Thursday September 13 2007, 10:09 pm

How do you know if you love someone? I think I love my bgf, but how can I be sure? We both like each other, but can't have a relationship now (complicated). I think I may love him tho actually I think I do because I mean I'm a very emotional person and I love all my friends and stuff and loving people isn't very hard for me (like friend wise) but I think I love him. I love him as a very good friend at least. Also if you have been best friends with a boy for a while and then you date is it kind of weird to start hugging and stuff. When you haven't for so long? And we've watched and supported each other in other relationships with each others best friends. So if/when we date is it weird to start hugging and stuff? Thanks so much! And i rate.

loving someone.. and being in love with someone are two completely different things.
you can love someone without being in love with them. if your questioning the idea of loving him, and you yourself arent sure, it probably isnt quite love.

as far as it being weird to hug, and get closer than you two are used to with each other... just go for it. it may be wierd the first few times, but you have to break the ice at some point or another :)

If you were in love with this guy, you wouldn't be questioning it. Just the fact that you're asking people on a website how you can know if you love someone tells me that you don't REALLY love him. People say they love their friends all the time, but loving someone and being IN love with someone are two very different things. And if you ask me, people use the word love way too much and way too easily. I don't know your situation at all just by your question, and neither does anyone here, so we can't exactly TELL you how you feel, but perhaps it's just a crush.

As for hugging, dating isn't just hugging. Hugging your friends shouldn't be awkward or weird, but dating your friends can screw things up. Even if you both like each other and start dating, chances are once you break up your friendship will either end or be weird/awkward. Very few friends that date end up continuing the same friendship after you break up. And it would be pretty naive to think that at our age we're going to meet the person we'll be with forever...or even for a long time.

We can't tell you what to do, but those are just things to think about before you tell him how you feel.
