That in itself is hard to explain. Because everyone loves differently and experiences it differently than some other people do. But usually when you feel that "I love you" is honest and true, that it is genuine and not forceful or a lie in anyway. That you can't see your life without them in it or beside you. That you can't find the words to begin to explain how powerful the feelings you have for them are besides the words I love you. When their life matters more than your own and you would do everything and anything for them no matter.
If you have to ask the question; am I in love, than I personally do not believe you are in love. With love you just know.myou shouldn't have to question it.
You usually get a feeling that just makes you feel weird in a good way. Then, you just know that you are crushing.
If you are happy with the person ,if the person is great around the people whom you love and love you. If everything surrounding the relationship makes you feel great inside!
wow. This is tricky. When you want to be with that special someone all the time and miss the instance you are not with that person, then you know you are having a special place in your heart for him/her. When you feel happy around that person and feel like you can share anything and can depend on him/her for your happiness, guess you are halfway there! The rest happens when the relationship builds up.
When you're in love, you can see the rest of your life with the person. You can see the ups and down
and know that you'll stick together.
When I feel in peace being around him and I want to do my best to make him as happy and safe around me.
You are the only one who can answer the question. When you see the person, you know that he is the one

When you believe you would do anything to keep someone in your life and want to just make them happy, I'd call that love.
I think if you're in love you wouldn't really be needing to ask this question💙 but if you care deeply for someone and want to spend every moment with them then it could be due to being in love

When you've seen all of his or her sides and still decides to love and accept them for who they are.
I feel content, and joyful with my situation. I can "wake up singing with the birds" so to speak.

Are you in love? Being in love is a perceived state of receiving and giving love. Do feel that you are giving and receiving love? Point blank ask yourself: Do I love ____? Try to say it out loud to yourself, "I love ___!" How does it feel? Good, bad, weird? You see, we cannot tell you how you will know if you are in love or not, because we are not you and do not have your amazing, unique brain. Every person will experience love differently, defines being in love differently, and has different requirements for how they need to be loved, and that's okay. This is a deeply personal question that you can spend some time meditating on. If thinking about it gives you anxiety, imagine: if you are truly in love, you may go on and enjoy your experiences with this person. If you are not truly in love and only feel excitement and fun, you can still go on to enjoy your experiences with this person. If you're having a good time with the person anyway, it's okay if it takes much more time for you to decide affirmatively whether or not you are in love. So have patience with yourself, the other person, and your life in general. Good luck and have fun with your life.

If you are thinking about anything at all time.... Even while at work. You are thinking that how I should behave with that thing/person which make him/ her happy or confortable. It means you are taking care of that thing/person or you are in love with that THING/PERSON
It varies for people and all sorts. I think you'll know when you're in love when you kind of change your daily schedule for someone. You'll stay up later to talk to the person you love, you'll spend more time with them when you can, you'll just have that glow feeling when you think of them. Trust me, you'll know.
I know I'm in love when I can't stop thinking about someone. Everything reminds me of them from mints to umbrellas. I mention them often in casual conversation and can't wait to see them!
When you are more concerned about the other persons well being then your own then you are in love. Love does not have to be between a man and a women, this idea applies to any two living creatures.
You don't. Because the simplest joys will come everyday, in its littlest forms; from smiles, to bear hugs, to simple "I love you"s. There is no tangible criteria, but you will always have this warm, fuzzy, irreplaceable feeling.
If you are keep thinking about that person uncontrollably. If you are always looking forward to see that person. If every time you think about that person, you smile uncontrollably. If you would do anything for that person. If all you want is to be with that person. Then, congrats! you have fell for that person.
How does anyone know if they are in love? Love is a combination of a daily decision of action and an emotional connectivity. Some days it comes naturally and others it takes hard work. Love is a commitment to another. When their needs matter, their well being is a priority to you I would say you love them. To be "in love" is said to be a state of euphoria and intense emotion. I always have intense emotions so it is not easy to identify which is more intense that the other. That is why love involves action and not just euphoric feelings of intensity towards another. I consciously decide daily to love someone. I decide to work at getting through the hard times and disagreements not because one of us is right but because both of us matter. That desire to do better, be better and be together for me is the "in love" answer.
Love is something a bit more complicated than just 'liking' someone. When you are in love, it feels like your whole world is mostly, just that one person. You think about them most of the day, and when you do, you start to smile. When they start a conversation with you, your whole world seems to be just in that one conversation for that one moment. Love is something really special and beautiful.
When you thrive in each other's presence, sacrifice equally for each other's benefit, are eager to grow and develop together over many years and encourage each other to be their best and most authentic self. You share joy, you share sorrow, you make an equal effort to reduce conflict through self-reflection, listening, and compassion. Life can be rough, this person is your co-pilot.

You just know, It's the feeling you get in your stomach when you think of the person you love, you smile randomly just by the thought of them, your heart speeds up, you become nervous and shy, the whole world seems better. The small gestures they do touches your heart. Your every thought awake and asleep is about them. You seem obsessed with that person.

My stomach is jittery, sweaty palms. I look at the person with love in my eyes, I listen to every word the person is saying. We share the same thoughts, things, and feelings. We have a shared connection. We are communicating.
I would definitely not say that you are in love as soon as you put someone elses needs over yours because this can become unhealthy sooner or later. You are in love when you feel like you want to make someones life better because you care for them and you feel like they deserve a lot. But at the same time you will have to notice if the other person wants to invest in you as well.

If you love a person, or are in love with someone. You will respect and adore said person. Unlike the movies you won't hear birds chirping, but you will look forward to seeing them, spending time with them. The will be on your mind all the time. When you see them it's like they made your day, just like that. But being in love with someone is caring for eachother and having mutual respect.

You know if you're in love you have a boy that puts full attention to you and one that never try to leave your side.

You can normally feel it in everything you do. If you miss a person when they leave, you love being with them when they're with you, when you feel like you couldn't handle life without them in it.
when you find that you can't live without that person in your life and that you have a NEED for them to be in your life
This a tough one, and I suppose it depends a lot on the person, since some fall in love easier than others. Pay attention to what you feel, react and think when you are with that person (excited, happy, conforted, nervous, smile and laughj a lot, feel positive, etc.) and when you are not (e.g if you think a lot on that person).
