in love with the idea of being in love, or actually in love?
how do you know you're only in love with the idea of being in love?
lately, ive been thinking about me and my boyfriend's relationship. it's great, i've never felt this way. i was in a serious relationship for a year before him so i'm familiar with some old feelings. but it's very different, and much deeper. i feel as if maybe i am in love, but then, what if it's just the idea? i don't think i was in love with my last boyfriend of a year, so this is very new to me.
since i've been thinking about it lately, hoping it's not just a honeymoon phase, i caught myself -- it might just be the idea. me and my boyfriend have been literally together for ten months, but involved in each other romantically for about three.
it might be that i am in love, or just the idea.
so how do you know the difference?

Everyone is in love with idea of being in love. Every relationship has different elements of feelings, deeper or more shallow. Nobody can really explain what love is, just how they know. And if you were in love, you wouldn't have to question whether or not its love. 10 months is a long time, but in actuality, its short compared to the lifetime. Relationships take years to develop and grow to the point where you REALLY know that person, and it's just not how someone acts when they get with someone new. Love doesn't fade after the "honeymoon phase", it just becomes different. You don't always giggle and make out with each other all day long. But, it doesn't mean that you aren't in love anymore. Just take your time and enjoy things for now, I wouldn't worry to much about it. The moment you realize that you are in love, you'll know for sure, and only you can tell.
