However, this is what I've concluded.
The closer I have felt to someone, the less "obsessive" I have been with them. The first stage of love, which is nothing by itself, is mere infatuation. Infatuation is when you basically feel like your significant other is your entire life, you would do anything for them, you would die without them, you can't seem to get through the day without constantly being distracted and thinking of them...and such.
The second part of love seems to me, believe it or not, your independence and self-confidence. In the infatuation stage, it seems your entire life is based upon/relies upon your love interest. When you are confident and secure about yourself, it will make it a whole lot easier to be in love. I believe this is a necessary ingredient, because by putting your significant other up on a pedistal (sp?), it seems almost impossible to make sensible decisions and do what both of you feel is right.
It seems to me that a truly love-worthy relationship finds a happy medium, or a balance, between these two stages. The second stage seems to come to most people much later on in life, as they mature and realize that love isn't JUST about the other person - it's a two-sided emotion.
Thanks...although I don't feel I've been in love yet myself, I hope you understand my point of view, or at least what I've concluded thus far in my life. Best wishes. :) [ Adri's advice column | Ask Adri A Question ]

Its really weird but you kinda just know. You'll know yourself when the time comes.
You should feel comfortable with this person and be able to tell them anything. Because if you do not trust them or respect them then you are not in love.
Also many people feel a spiritual connect with someone they love. you should be confident witha future with this person. Not saying you have to marry them or anything but you have to see yourself with the person.
But everyone is different.
but you will know because when it happens, its one of the most amazing feelings you can get.

I also know that he would do anything for me. Don't let anyone tell you that you're too young to be in love, because love is blind and knows no age.

missbananafontana answered Monday December 3 2007, 5:51 pm: If I was in love right now, I would feel very giggly. Like feel like I could move a mountain if I wanted to, that butterflies in stomach, on-top-of-the-world feeling. But I guess it would be different from person to person.

Lynn_lushh answered Monday December 3 2007, 5:25 pm: everyone has a different view of love. it's also a kind of feeling really hard to describe. most people get confuses love with LIKE. To me, loving someone means you know you'd go through anything for that one person and nothing matters to you anymore but that person you love. you're constantly on your mind like 24/7. And when you're around them you have really funny feelings and start getting nervous, but it depends, if you know that person a long time or not to actually feel awkward around them. and sometimes you end up saying stupid or embarrassing things to them cuz you're distracted by them so you don't know what you're talking about. hope i answered your question :) [ Lynn_lushh's advice column | Ask Lynn_lushh A Question ]
