How do I know if I'm in love?

How would you define love? Is it when you feel vulnerable? Secure? Is it when you trust them? Do you want to spend your time with them? Do you feel good around them? Do seeing them happy makes you happy? These questions are just general and I believe, there are different kinds of love. Only you can answer what love is for you, different people experience different kinds of love and their definition wouldn’t always align with yours. And aren’t we all always a little bit in love with everything? The colours, the flowers, sceneries, animals, our favourite shows/movies or characters etc etc.

PS: This is based on personal experience. We being humans, we first love through our eyes and we find someone very attractive and we get to know them. You fall in love when you can find things similar or common among the both of you. You tend to fall in love with the person who is similar to you in some way. You feel butterflies in your stomach everytime you see them or see their message. Everytime you watch a movie or listen to a song or read a book you tend to involve them and think about the same situation where it's you and them together. At one point I was soo in love I started losing my appetite

There is a zing to being in love. It is indescribable, and yet the best way to explain it is that you just "know." There is no question, you simply...finally, know that person is the one for you. Hopefully, that one makes you happy, cared for, and loved and you do the same for them. There is balance in the relationship. You consider their wants, needs, and feelings and they do the same for you. When you are in love you do not want to hide the person. You want to introduce them to family and friends. You think about them day and night and they do the same.

Love can feel different for many people and comparing feelings is not a way someone can help you discover it is love......we all might have happy and excited feelings to talk or see the person of our interest but that attraction and arousal may be lust.... I think it is a personal realization and a deep knowing that you are in love......a feeling that can not be talked out of that does not have to meet requirements but is just always there in good and bad. many people I believe create the illusion of love and that is why some seem to fall in and out of it so easily others whom may not experienced before do not trust their selves to really acknowledge it when it is there. Some may not want it to be there but it happened .... i met someone when i was feeling like i had fallen out of or no longer felt love and even though i know it is doomed and can never be the connection is so strong I a person who tries to think through everything am willing to throw caution aside for this feeling ..... i tried to not say it and skirted around the issue but once i did say it i knew .... even as irrational and bad timing ... impossible odds etc .... Love is what it is
