How do I know if I'm in love?

A lot of people believe love is a feeling. It’s actually an action. It’s a combination of care, respect, knowledge integrity, attention, affection, and open and honest communication. Many people who have not done the work of critically evaluating their attachment styles tend to confuse love with cathexis or lust. Love is love is love. We love our parents and friends from the same place we love our romantic partners. The tendency to over identify with our romantic partners and put too much stake in ownership/exclusivity and being loved in return. True love is unconditional and you will know it because you will want the best for them; even if they decide the best thing for them is not you.

If you feel that you experience comfort and happiness by being around this person, and if this person is someone you would take care of or be concerned about their wellbeing, then that is love. For me, to love someone is to do anything for that person. I would talk to them often, ask how they are doing, develop a strong relationship with them, and see them smile and laugh. To be in love is to make time for them often. Falling in love is a wonderful sensation. There is harmony, peace, and infinite amounts of happiness. If you see yourself smiling constantly every time you see this person, you know you are in love.

When you're in love, you start seeing your crush as an extension of yourself, so when they're hurt, nervous or really excited about something, then you experience the same feelings as them. However, knowing you're in love feels different for everyone. Scientists have proven that there are actual signs for when someone is in love. For example, people reported having new interests and personality traits after entering a loving relationship from a study collected in 1995. Of course, if you're already envisioning a future with them, you may suspect you’re in love. However, those signals don’t always indicate that it’s the real thing. After all, in the beginning, your excitement around this new relationship can cloud your ability to see whether there’s real potential for a long-term relationship. For many, it just takes time and gentle care to know that he/she is the one.

No one else can describe your love for you. Its a feeling in your inner heart. Sometimes we are in love but we get it as love in a months time. People care for each other as friends, but love is beyond friendship and sometimes its selfishness too. Let the time come to your side, till that happens let her feel your tenderness, your love but don't go for passion. It's not love. Don't mix it up. Take care of her until she really understands your love. Girls usually feel the protection of a boy within weeks. She will understand you.

Love is a magical wonder, and sometimes it just comes unexpectedly. When you find love, your heart will guide you and you will know. Like life, love has its own path for different people and has its own obstacles and milestones throughout its path, but falling in love brings you the utmost happiness and it makes you enjoy life, and makes you look forward to doing things you love. It also helps you realize who you are as a person and makes you see life from a different perspective. The answer to your question is in your heart and I can't say a definite answer, but love itself is a beautiful part in the journey of life.

This is a great question. It can be really tough to figure out whether or not you're in love with someone. Other emotions, like affection, fear, anxiety, and desire can get in the way. For me, love is about sacrifice, or giving things up for another person. If you are only infatuated with another person, you probably won't have a selfless desire to do nice things for that person, or give up your own time and resources for them. If you're trying to figure out if you're in love with someone, consider asking yourself how often you think about their wellbeing. Ask yourself how often you experience the desire to give up your own time or resources for that person, without getting anything back for yourself. Good luck; you've got this!

I would explain love as being with someone you can't live without. When I was younger I loved someone that i thought could be my whole future, but it didn't work out that way. I should also clarify that love takes time. You have to work at it non-stop for it work out. Love can make someone really grow as a person. It can be found when we aren't looking. But most importantly it change a lot of things. It changes us as people, changes how we interaction with people. It changes the stories of our lives, which is magically in it's own sense.

Hey there, that is a great question! I guess it could be different for everyone but in my experience you spend a lot of your time thinking of them. Thinking what nice things you could do with them. You can feel you respect the person what they do and get excited by where they are going in life and want to help them in any way you can. You feel that excitement when you see them and can't help but smile. You laugh together and can tell one another things. You're not hiding who you really are with them. I guess in the first stages though you get the excitement, the nervousness the anticipation. Hope this helps.

I know that I am in love when that person is the only person I want to talk to. When I go to sleep I wake up thinking about that person. I only want that person and I want to wake up next to that person every day. That person brings joy to your heart. You plan a future with this person and talk about the future with them. You know what makes this person tick. You can tell what the person is thinking and what they are feeling. You know what to do and what not to. You do not want to hurt this person instead you want to help them grow and see them win.

If you think about the person in a deeper way of understanding and wanted to have relation with them always....Feel uncomfortable when you don't have answer from them.. you feel so loved when they are around you even if they might not say by their words. You can even observe the changes in yourself regarding the thoughts and the behavior you will have when you talk or listen about a particular person whom you love. First of all you will be talking to them a lot of hours and the hours that you spent will be like seconds to you..
