How do you know when you're in love? What does love feel like?
How do you know? I mean, I don't actually know if there is love or not really. I don't think I've ever felt that emotion. Is it like in the movies? Butterflies and all of that? Or is it something else? Can anybody describe it?

My best friend asked me the exact same question a few months ago and I wrote her an email with the response so now I'm giving that to you..
so you asked what its like to be in love and i had to think about it..so i did and came up with a few things.
a)you tell them you love them but the actual words 'i love you' don't seem like nearly enough. they seem way to simple and plain compared to what you actually want to say.
b)they become your partner..which is weird because i'm so used to being independant and it would feel weird if you went somewhere without them. Like the other day me and 2 friends went to the mall without the guys, weird day. I kept turning around to look for him, then remembering that he didn't come along. In a way you feel like you grow as a person. You don't loose your individuality but they become your other half.
c)you can't wait to see them! My graduation day i was with my boyfriend allll day and then we went back to his house and i slept over, left around noon and came back at 5 for his graduation. i was only gone for 5 hours but i still get excited to see him again.
d)they make you feel like you are god. one time he randomly texted me and said "have i ever told you that you're everything i've ever wanted?"<<major smile. and that first time that you hear them say "yeah she's with me" or "you're mine" or ..you get it..its awesome. half of you is like damn straight dont touch him and the other half is like awww.
e)you feel so relieved that you found them and really have that thought of "where have you been all my life". Even your shittiest day...like say it was pouring rain and you dropped your phone in a puddle and then someone ran it over and you're like FML...in the back of your mind its still only a 90% shit-tastic day because 10% of you is always thinking..wait..that guy loves me, its still a good day.
f)forgetting life without them. I have honestly forgotten what it was like to be an emotional wreck after the last break up. I remember that i was extremely upset obviously but i can't mentally put myself back to those days and remember the actual pain. I don't remember the feeling of being single and waking up without 'good morning!' texts. You remember your life but you dont remember the feelings..if that makes sense.
g)I am not a trusting person at allll. I dont do trust falls, I dont give out money unless its a dollar or less, I don't let people out of sight with my keys or wallet or purse or phone..in fact i don't let people touch my phone, i don't trust the guy who parks next to me in the parking lot but there's something about my boyfriend that makes me trust him 100% without thinking twice and i have had a lot of trust in him since about a week before we started dating. Even if he didn't say it I just knew he was the type of person that wouldn't hurt me and he'd protect me like I was made of glass. And he hasn't proven me wrong.
h)falling in love makes you relize why you shouldn't have wasted your time on all the other guys although i still have no regrets. Sometimes i think about..wow i met my boyfriend in september, what if we had started dating then..we'd be going on 1 year tohether. But! i was still crazy about the other guy so would the relationship have even lasted? And in september he was still in his partier bad-ass guy mode so would that have effected our relationship? Soo my point is..no regrets.
i)it'll surprise you how much you care about them.
My first reaction to falling in love was no joke.."Holy Shit". It freaks you out that your mind is putting your guard down and you have no control over it. Oh! and when they say stuff that takes your breath away and you know its not just because they want to get in your pants..yup..its awesome.

this is exactly how you know.
you know when you find a person and you just wanna hook up with them on the first day u meet them? so lets say you hook up with some random person at the movies, and then, u dont talk anymore.
when you are in love, its different.
you can tell by the fact that you probably asked for this person's fone number, and thought about calling him/her that day.
you get caught up in such a wreck that you forget EVERYTHING that doesnt have to do with that one person. you feel like you wanna risk it all just to be with him/her to make them happy.trust me, you will feeel it someday.

Hmm i'll try and explain it. It's when you always want to spend time with someone and you get either jealous or over protective over that certain person. Than When your not with them your always thinking of them. You can barely get your mind off them. Thinking what would it be like in the future for you two. Sometimes you even dream about that person (not everyone dreams about that person this is just like a bonus.) This is how my three friends, and I feel when we are in love. Hope i help.
♥Jay♥
