How do you know youre IN love?
You can love in a lot of ways. you can be with someone so amazing and say you love them; the next, and scariest step, if youre serious enough, can be saying youre in love with them.
(lets make sure we know the difference between loving someone & being in love with someone. i always believed you can only be in love so many times.)
For example, my story.. i met this guy in the beginning of sophomore year. we began to talk but we didnt get close until early 2010. we were best friends for months & then he admitted to liking me. I began to like him back and weve been together officially for nearly two months.
when someone's your best friend, is it faster to fall in love? how do you know? what's the differnece between loving someone & being in love with them?
i know they say youll know when you know. but maybe there are some little factors that everybody catches on.
thank you!

To me, the difference between loving someone and being in love is drastically different. If you love someone, that means you love them unconditionally. If you are in love with someone, that means that you love them, but they are loving you back as well. I know for a fact I love the guy I have my eye on, but I'm not in love because he doesn't feel that way back. And yes, it is WAYYY easier to fall in love with your best friend, trust me, I know how you feel! :)

My idea of being in love is: You love the person unconditionally. You accept their flaws. You see the beauty in them that others don't see. You see the person as amazing, wonderful, or any of these adjectives. This is the person that makes your heart pound when see this special someone. You smile and laugh more, when your with this person. You see and view world differently. You see the beauty of the world around you. When you wake up the first person you think about is that special someone, and the last thing you think about when you go to bed. When you love someone, you cant picture a future without them in it. When something happens in your day, it is the first person you think about telling. The one you love is like your best friend, your confident. The one you are love with, you trust with all your heart.
That's how you tell when your in love.
I think since he is your best friend it can be faster to fall in love, but it is not always the case. It on depends. I think the difference between loving someone and being in love, is in my opinion, loving someone, can just be an idea. I think to me, it is liking the idea of loving someone. But to say you are in love with someone, I think there is more meaning behind it. It's hard to explain. To say you love someone sounds a lot different then saying your in love with someone. I think it has more meaning. :) I hope this helps

For me being in love with someone is when you can't picture your life without them and they complete you. You want them to be happy even if that means hurting you. Loving someone is wanting the best for them and caring about them. Friendship is a good base to build a relationship off of. I'm in love with my boyfriend and we only knew each other for two days before we started dating. You just know when you're in love. For me it's when I think about him i get butterflies in my stomach and my heart races. He can make me smile just by walking in the room and make me cry, because I'm so happy to be with him. I think about him constantly and don't want to be with anyone, but him.That's how I knew I was in love with him, but it's different for everyone. You're the only person who knows if you're in love with him or not, but friendship probably helps just a little bit make someone fall in love faster.

You'll know when you're in love. You can love pretty much anyone. Like how you love your family, friends, ect. So pretty much you care about them.
Being in love is different. You know that. My opinion it would be loving them no matter what, like unconditionally, can't picture life without them, would do anything for them.
I'm not sure if it is faster to fall in love when you were best friends before. I guess it depends on who you are. Honestly, you should be friends with someone before dating them so you know what you are getting yourself into beforehand.
It really is difficult to define. But you just want only them and would care for them through it all, would respect them, and love them. Love isn't just a feeling, its an action too.

Not one person can really tell you what love is. The meaning of love is different to every person on the planet believe it or not. It is possible that you could fall in love faster once you have been friends for a while. like some say, the base of a great love is a strong friendship and i hold this to be very true.
The only person that can tell you if you are in love with this young man is you. And let me tell you, you are never to young to be in love.
The way I personally see love is when you are with someone that you can't stand to be away from. When you see changes in them, you can accept them easily because you love them. And when you are miles and miles apart you will fight your hardest to go to see them. Love to ME is when you can take a bullet (hypothetically speaking that is) for them with out even taking a moment to think about it.
This is only my shortened definition, it might be different for you and others as well.
I really hope this helped you :)
Best of luck. :)
