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 .
i think im in love with a 15 year old. i dont know. its hard for me to tell the difference between love and lust. can you have both for someone? sorry i cant help you:(
I think I’m in love..
I can’t stop thinking about him no matter what somehow it all leads back to him. I wonder what he’s doing when I’m not with him. When I think of love his face pops into my head. I love him so much it actually hurts. The thought of going to see him makes me have so many butterfiles in my stomach. He’s perfect in my eyes.. flaws and all..
Thats what I think love is.
I hope everyone can find it one day.
It’s amazing..

i think im in love. well i know im in love
tho i am 13 and have gone through many experiences.
(the young is growing up faster these days)
and every time i am with him i have butterflies. i snuck out with him and im pretty sure he loves me 2. he told me he did. and he even got in trouble and did it to spend time with me. when we snuck out we were wit eachother all night at the park. and in the ditch just roaming around hiding from cops. we wanted to be with eachother so much even if it ment risking it and getting in tons of trouble. i laid on him while we talked about how hard it is going 2 our houses… and how much trouble we would be in. it felt so amazing just 2 b with him i just didnt care what would happen at home D: . we were together that night 1am-6:15 i was scared and i didnt go home till 7. just to get there in the first place i climbed out my window onto the roof and jumped. when he returned home cops were at his house and the cop was going to arrest him but luckly decided 2 b nice. when i arrived home… nothing no1 noticed i was gone… i was shocked but i was so sorry for him. his parents threatened 2 put him in a foster home. but we still remain together. and im pretty sure im in love. we do everything together. people make fun of me because he is a little fat but ive never noticed to me i see past that i love him for just being him. hes perfect the way he is and no1 can change the way i feel. he does anything 2 make me smile.
