How Do You Know When You're In Love?
I don't get this question often from older folks (i.e. past their mid-twenties usually), but once in a while I get a dating question from a gent in his early 30's who wants to be sure he's in love.
In a way, I understand the confusion. It is much more common now for singles not to pursue (or even want) a serious relationship until they've navigated their 20's; just look at the marriage statistics from the U.S. and Canada lately - although this may have to do more with cohabitation being the norm than anything. Still, I've met more than a handful of men in their 30's over the past couple of years who have readily admitted they've never been in love or "didn't know" if they'd ever been in love.
Is it that true love is more elusive these days than in yesteryears? Or maybe love is in part, hindsight; we think we're in love, but when the ensuing breakup occurs, we realize it was more lust or infatuation than anything else.
How do you know when you're in love? What are your indicators?

I think that you should learn from
people who are cool about relationship.
I don’t think that we should seperate
men and women into 2 categories like the
men are from mars and women are from
venus.
I don’t think you should split the earth
into the difference between the
genders.
Damn love, I got heartbroken twice.
Let me tell you, it hurts more than anything
in the world ://
Somebody once told me I was to young to be in love,
but I know when I’m in love with a girl.
And I really wish I can have my ex girlfriend back ,
I love her, but she doesn’t feel this way about me .
