- NEW!

You know when you can look at the person and want nothing but the best for them - Even if it doesn't consist of you being in their lives.
by Leanne Stewart on January 14th, 2006
I didn't know for the longest time but now I do.
Theres many ways to tell your in love but I learned a new one not to long ago.
1. You know its love when you've been through a major crisis with someone. One which threatened your entire relationship but some how you still managed to get through it with them. It is my theory that if you can get through the bad times with that person as well as the good ones then obviously your in love. And if it doesn't work out then obviously you'll still learn a valuable lesson from it. And by the time you go into a new relationship you'll be able to know when someone loves you, and when someones just saying it because they can.
2. You know its love when you can't possibly imagine spending your life with anyone else.
3. You know its love when your not ashamed of eachother. You can look that person in the eyes with, or without people around and you can tell them exactly how you feel about them without feeling embaressed, or scared that they might not feel the same way.
4. You know its love when you don't have to worry about rather or not this person is going to be faithful or not. You just KNOW that you can trust them enough not to do anything.
5. And finally you know its love when you would put your life on for them willingly without having to question or think about it.
6. You know its love when you can picture yourself growing old with that person and still being reasonably happy. Sure you'll have troubles along the way but when you look into the future all you see is happiness.

Everytime you think of him, your heart smiles.

1. When you want the person to be safe and to be free to be themselves, even if that means not being with you.
2. If , heaven forbid, the person was injured, disfigured or ill in some way, you would still feel the same love for them and care for them no matter what, not because of a sence of obligation, but by free will and choice.
3. When you know that if it came down to it, you would die for them without hesitation.
There is a quote that describes number 1 quite well:
" I am always with you, even unto the end of time.
Yet I will not impose My will on you--ever.
I choose your highest good for you, but above that, I choose *your* will for you. And this is the surest measure of love.
When I want for you what *you* want for you, then I truly love you. When I want for you what *I* want for you, then I am loving myself, through you.
So, too, by the same measure, can you determine whether others love you, and whether you truly love others. For love chooses not for itself, but only seeks to make possible the choices of the beloved other."
Here is another quote that I find fitting for this question:
"Real love, the kind that is genuine, requires two individuals consciously choosing to care, not out of need and fear, but from a sense that this “other”, expands our universe, rather than just simply making it safe."

*sigh* Yes, yes I am.
1) we've been together 8 months so I know it's not too soon
2) it gets better and better
3) we can talk more and more openly about things
4) I feel all squishy inside when I think about him
5) I feel loved and accepted for who I am
6) everyday I am reminded by the things he does and by his consideration, what a great BF he is.
. . . how's that?

When you realize that your life force is inextricably linked to that other person..
or
when you realize that you are spending all your money buying stuff for her =D
by kitten on December 10th, 2007
when ur in love, u cannot think about anything other than that person. when ur not with them , u miss them constantly, when u are together, u feel as if u are in heaven. u accept their bad points as well as their good, u work together through the hard times. u just know that u want to spend the rest of ur life with this person, no matter what life may throw at u. and if ur like me - u get daily thumb ache from sending so many txts to them!!!

1.He kisses the tip of my nose during sex.
2.He calls me from Alaska so I can go online and give him an opinion of the camera he is about to buy at wal-mart.
3.He calls from Las Vegas to ask if I want a blue Hooters shirt or the pink one. Then calls back to make sure he got the right size.
4.He has his paycheck direct deposited to my debt card.
5.He talks about his plans for our future.
6.He takes my side in an argument with his mother.

When I can't stop thinking about a person and what we could do together.
by wthing8 on October 31st, 2008
My Heart rate goes up.....when I THINK of her....let alone when we talk or ..well....modesty prevents me talking about her Oral technique or the no holes barred policy and the whenever wherever however mind set she has....but I digress.....
I find myself scheming and planning little things to make her day go better....
In her company or on the phone hours pass in seconds and I end each call....Exhilarated....(adjective: gladdened,/made joyful.)
I would write so much more but the words tumble from me like rain drops and I fewar I would be overwhelming and possibly to effusive in my explanation.

If you have to ask then you are not.
by TrumpetLuck on January 14th, 2007
You know your in love when you check your answering machine for any messages from that one person, or when you think all day about if you should tell them, or if you think they will think you're weird. If the very palm of your hand is sweaty when you talk to them, or even think about them.
Especially, if you've been thinking about one person the whole time while reading this, your definatly in love!!

by Nickr893 on December 22nd, 2006

you do not have to date your questions it happens automatically ! damn !! now what was the question ?
by Rocket on April 14th, 2009
You can't eat...
You can't sleep...
You can't stop thinking about them...
You want to spend all of your free time with them...
Your heart races when you are around them...
You feel like you could just float away on a cloud..
You keep asking yourself if this is real...
You would do anything for that person...
by Cambree Nevaeh on November 3rd, 2008
When it drives you crazy that the person you like isn't with you at this moment, when you can't go a minute without thinking about them, when they are the first person you want to talk to and the last person you wnat to talk to all day. that's when you know it's love!!!

He tries to make me laugh.
He tickles me.
He looks into my eyes and smiles.
He says he'll go for a hike with me.
He hands me something he made himself.
He treats me the some way he does in public as he does in private.
He notices how I look.
He doesn't care how I look.
He calls me to make plans.
He grabs my hand even though he knows I have a sweating problem.
He listens to what I say.
He is forever messaging me when I go online.
He talks to me intimately and about interesting things.
He shows he cares by getting up early, texting when appropriate, etc.
He is prepared to do whatever to get what I want.
by I love my baby on May 29th, 2007
When you feel like you are the happiest you can possibly be,
when around that person.
You can't wait to be with them at the end of the day.
When you think of them you will be smileing.
When they make you feel good.
When That person seems so perfect to you.
When you can imagine being with them when they are 80.
When you can't imagine being with anyone else.
When they hurt... you hurt.
There are so so many more on the list.
by va_freaking_nessa on October 2nd, 2006
You can't stop thinking about the person; your heart skips a beat every time you see them. You don't care about anything else, and would do anything in the world for that person. You click on every level: hobbies, personality, likes, dislikes. It's the most amazing feeling in the world! When there is no hesitation in expressing yourself. When you feel you can share anything and everything. When you are not anxious about making a commitment. Mostly, you don't feel the need to look around for greener pasture. You don't think that maybe the next man you meet may be better. True love is a two-way street -- the other person feels the same way about you as you feel about them.
by Audiotron on April 14th, 2009
If you feel like you could fly just because you are near someone, you may be in love with them.
If the slightest touch makes you feel like time is going to stop, and you have found a perfect moment, you may be in love.
If you would gladly give anything you have, and anything you are just to make the other person happy, you may be in love.
If you are willing to give up the other person, and let them go on without you, just because that is the way they will be happy, then you may be in love.
by Corgingus on April 14th, 2009
When you want to see the person a lot. Your stomach and heart beats together. You're happy when you're with that person. You're sad when that person is with someone else.

You will know in your heart!
by CaptainHarley adores his life penguin on November 30th, 2008
You want to be with her all the damned time, and when you're not with her, you think about her.
Your heart yearns toward her, almost physically straining toward her, especially if she's close.
When you think of her, you smile.
Sometimes your arms will actually ache to hold her, and God help you if she hurts herself, because you'll feel just as much pain, if not more!
You want to tell everyone about her and stand in danger of becoming a crashing bore to all your friends because she's all you want to talk about.
When you hold her, you feel giddy, like a schoolboy. You also feel very protective, and would attack anything that even LOOKED like it would bother her, including airliners, Mac trucks, trains, and ocean-going vessels.
And DAMN it feels good! : D

define love? I think being in love is a very deep emotional feeling that takes experience and the ability to put yourself (your heart) out in the open. Everyone's experience of love isn't the same, for some people might experience the feeling butterflies every time they see, hear, or think of that person. But does loving someone mean that you are in-love with them, I really want to answer that but I am no expert on "Love"
Here is an article that i found interesting but I am not agreeing nor disagreeing with it, its just one persons opinion:

If you want more opinions check out google search "am I in love":

You can only think about them. You CAN'T wait for their calls. When you see then your stomach flutters. While you talk to them you shiver from your happiness. Like me.

Would you be willing to change they're cathiter bag?
I think as human beings emotion is normal, feelings are normal, loving and hating people are normal. What you should be asking yourself, if this is love, am i willing to do what it takes to keep it that way?
And if not, then you know what your willing to do, and what your not willing to do.
