How Do You Know When You're In Love?

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..

thank you for helping me know that i really am inlove i feel the same way about this girl i love her sooo much i can never stop thinking about her its exactly how u said it haha thank u and to think i was geting scared of looseing her haha im never gona let go of her i love her ill do wat ever i must to be with her thank u

here my email:(cherry.530@hotmail.com)

you NEED to tell someone close to you (your mom, dad, someone you can really trust) about this as soon as possible. this man is over 10 years older than you and something just isnt right about htat whole situation….you might even try to sexually molest you

I agree! CREEPY! STAY AWAY!

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.

that was the sweetest thing i have ever read, i recently broke up with my girl friend that i have been with for a year and 2 months we did every thing together sure we had our fights and what not, but we all ways forgave each other in the end i love her so much even though she said she dosent want to be with me any more (and she has a new boy friend) i still love her and treat her the same as i did when we were going out, it has been 3 weeks since we broke up, i am slowly moving on. i am 16 and she was 15 she was my 1st girl friend and she will be the best

its not past midnight and god knows how i came abouts to find this and read it. this is really awful but trust me love is when you surrender your heart completely to another, knowing that they’ll treat it better than you would. therefore if she doesnt love yoy for which ever reasons, yes it hurts but i promise you u’ll find someone worthy and who will return the passionate love you feel for whom ever she is. i’m turning 16 and ive been with m boyfriend for the past year and 3 months and i just wanted you to say that dont worry u’ll find someone very soon!

That was very sweet nikki that reminds me of me! I’m only 15 and I’m deeply in love with my Boyfriend. We have been with each other almost a year. And I have times when I will go to his house just to be with him I be like I don’t care who finds out cause he will be worth the trouble. I know some people will call this puppy love or you just having a faze! No I promise this is real we have been in many bad times but we work threw them he always tell me he LOVE Me! =))

I Really Think I Am In Love Becuz He Tells Me He Loves Me And That He Is In Love With Me Everyday . He Has Cried Over Me Twice . But Theres One Thinq ! He Cheated On Me And I Cant Seem To Get Over That . I Brinq Up The Females Name All The Time When We Are On The Phone And He Gets Mad . He Says I Have His Heart But I Dont Know If Its True. I Love Him So Much There’s This Feelinq In My Chest Everytime I Think Of Him, When The Phone Rinqs My Heart Jumps, Everytime I Hear His Voice I Smile And So Does My Heart . I Just Dont Know . I Think Im In Love But I Truly Dont Know . I Want To Be With Him Til Death Do Us Apart . Even Thouqh He Says He Reqrets Doinq Wat He Did And That He Goinq To Chanqe But I Dont Know . Actions Speak Louder Than Words . Can Someone Please Tell Me If Im In Love !!!!!

heyy swetty.. I think your are in love!! because if you didnt love him you would have break up with him awile ago when you know he cheated on you. but yur right with time you will see if he meant that he loves you because love can be express by words but its more pawerful with actions. and if commited and respectful and trusful to you thats whats gonna keep the relashioship for a long terme.. becAUSE WITHOUTOUT ALL THESE LOVE CAN JUST FAIL AWAY. soo just be patient, and dont push him to much cause its better when it comes from him witout asking him

Hope i answerd!

holaay 2 yrs laater ahahaha !

How old are you? and surely no one could tell you whether your inlove. its ur gut instinct that should guide you. however

You keep saying you don’t know. You keep bringing up the other woman. He tells you he wants to change but you “dont know”. I know that people may say don’t be the Debbie downer but i have to tell you: you are not in love. you love him, yes, but you’ve lsot his trust and therefore your love is dwindling. I think if anything you are probably causing confusion and making a fog in your mind and saying you are unsure just so that you can avoid your gut feeling. Its easier to face confusion than it is the truth especially when the truth isn’t pretty. but i will tell you this: it gets better. One day you will wake up and find that you are going to get htrough the day easier than yesterday. so in short, no. I don’t think you are in love. I think you are slowly falling out of love.

I honestly don’t know what to write anymore.

I’ve been heartbroken once.
I would do anything to never feel that feeling I had that day everrr!

I’ve met someone special again. But this time it’s much stronger. I’m in love. And for once in my life, I feel like my life is worth living.

I hope everybody can feel like this at least once in their lives….I believe the world would be happier and there would be less problems and worries and suffering.

His name is james cory….and he will be my husband one day.

The thought of not being with him makes me sick to my stomach. This is what proves to me that I’m head over heels for this man and foreve will be.

I love you sugarbutts!!!
Fuego,highhmee,baby,hairy bear,sugiiiiz,and my hubby!

What is love?
It’s when you are pinned down by a force so great that you are blinded by it. It’s knowing that even when the worst shows itself that you will never be seperated from that special someone. It’s when your flaws mean nothing to you anymore and you have the freedom to be yourself and know that your loved one will be his self right next to you.

A wise man once to me that when love becomes a factor, you have lost because there is no force greater than love. And those who try to appose it will just lose themselves eternally.

I’m 16 years old and I feel my search for love has come to an end.

Well, see im not sure of what love is. I read a lot of comments on this and i think that if you think your in love at a young age then try to hang on because since you are young your not really sure of what you want or who you want to spend your life with. You have your whole life ahead of you. I actually have a boyfriend and i tell him i love him and we tell each other that we love each other but i want all the naive girls to know just cause some guy says he loves you and you’ll be together forever doesn’t mean its true. I’ll also let you know from experience that your first hearbreak of the person you “love” or that says they love you will be your worst, guaranteed. If someone truly loves you they will wait on you no matter what the circumstances. Young girls always think well i have to be with him now or he wont love me anymore, thats not true for someone who deeply loves you. Just some advice, hope i helped someone?

thank you cartr know i kno who i love

im not sure if i am in love. i think i might be but im not sure. me and my boyfriend have not been dating long but he thinks we have already connected. We liked each other before we started and i am pretty sure i was the reason him and his ex broke up. He makes me happy all the time. My mood depends on if he is texting me or not. I am really happy if he is and I am really sad and irritable if he isnt. He is pretty much all i think about now. I dont know if I could live without him. He is pretty much my life.

I have a question to add- can attraction grow if it didn’t exist originally? About three months ago I met a man who is more or less perfect for me, but I wasn’t attracted to him- he wasn’t really my type. But as I’ve come to know him more, I believe I might have fallen in love with him… Or at least be on my way to falling for him. I think about him far too much, and he appears in my dreams soo often- something which none of my past loves have done. But I’m still not sure that I’m attracted to him… I want to lean on him and have his arms around me, and for him to kiss me, but I don’t seem to care about anything more than that. So, can it be love without intense physical attraction? I’ve always though the two went hand in hand.

did you ever get any replys to your question cos thats the exact situation im in now!

we’ve only been together 4 months but i think he’s the one. everything he does is right, and even though i pick little fights with him sometimes it’s only out of love. we’ve never gotten into any big fights ever. we love each other and care for each other so much. there is not one bad thing about the relationship and even tho ugh he does his fair share of bad things i wouldnt change any of it for the world because thats what makes him, him. when i think about him i get butterflies, and even better when i kiss him i feel like i’m on top of the world. I will never worry if he loves me because the connection we share can be felt from miles away. we are in love and i really do think it will last forever.

A girl has been the only thing on my mind for 2 years now. I think I really love her, BUT, she’d probably laugh if I ask her out. After all, many guys flirt with her, and I can’t live up to half of them. I may get the best grades and have an IQ of 174, but I’m sure she doesn’t want that. She just seems to be out my reach. I wonder everyday, ‘Why do I bother living?’, unable to reach my only dream while it’s in front of me.

Heyy honey you are a bright smart man and if she do not notice that then something is wrong with her. You should not thithink like why iam I living. You living for a purpose Rem that. Hope I helped

mate ive been in your postion before/am at the moment, i recently broke up with my girl firend of a year and 2 months, i have found another girl, but im not sure if she likes me back and i have liked her for a long time and she knows it we are good friends, if she is amazing she wont be easy if she easy she wont be amazing if you give up your not worthy of her, if you dont give up your worthy, (those last two ones sounded bad) never give up hope mate take it form and irishman us irish never give up we all ways go for the win no matter what.

If she’s amazing, she won’t be easy. If she’s easy, she won’t be amazing. If she’s worth it, you won’t give up. If you give up, you’re not worthy. thats what i ment before

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.”
– 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

I’m 16, and I know what love is, only because I know I love my best friends and family, and I see and understand the love they have for me as well. Of all the people in my life that this may include, I think I learned the true definition of love from my grandfather. Love apart from lust is a relationship of pure friendship, it need not understand, but accept….love is something that is DEVELOPED with another person as the two grow as human beings together. Love is when you understand a person so much, that you could understand their wrongs, and accept them…

Think of a dog. They can be the most loving and caring animals ever…and they don’t ask for anything in return. That’s honestly what true love is I think! X)

The thing is, I think humans have a hard time understanding what true love is. They become too overwhelmed and infatuated with the ‘lust’ part of love that they lose sight of what it really is…humans are too quick to judge and that’s what ruins everything… I could go on and on about this topic.

For the first time in my life, I am in love with someone who is in my league, not above or below or in an entirely different ballpark. Our relationship is based entirely on trust and respect, unlike the ones I’ve had with fear and desperation before. We’re both so GD bland and boring and we’re perfect for each other! I love it! I love her! I never thought I’d be so in love with someone so blase to me, but I love that part of her, too. It’s so incredible that I’m in love with someone so much like me. And it’s incredible that I practically have a twin. I thought I’m a lot like my siblings but then I finally decided I’m in love with her and a whole new world is opened up to me. I feel like I could rush to her side and turn over-romantic and mushy or i could just talk to her like a good friend and it wouldn’t matter because she loves me so much in both ways. Because she’s willing to be committed with me.

i’ve been in love before, i had to make sure it was the real thing, but in heart of hearts i knew anyway. People told me i was still too young to know what love really was, but i don’t think there is an age limit to this kind of thing. To me he was perfect, i wanted to be with him all the time, when i wasn’t i thought about what he was doing, when songs came up about love he would come into my thoughts, i got butterflies whenever i was never him and i had to really try hard to not talk jibberish to him, he was perfect for me in my eyes

Yeah I have a problem I have this friend who I have been friends with for 2 years now and yesterday I called my friend and I can hear her cousin that was my friend and I can hear him screaming at her and saying let me talk to her and other stuff and then she passed the phone to him and then he said hey an u said hi then he said did you miss me over the summer and I didn’t know what to say to I said idk and then I sai why are you talking to me aren’t you dating Gabby???aren’t you in love with her and he passed the phone to her my friend again and when that passed he said you asked me with I’m still in love with. Gabby and I said yeah so he said I don’t know and I sighed and then all of a sudden he said cuz I’m in live with you whAt should I say
then he asked me out and I said idk and he gave me a week to think about it and on Monday I my friend said you know how my cousin said if you want to go out an I said yes so she said well he said he doesn’t know anymore and then I said why and she said he forgot he’s still dating gabby ??? What the Heck should I do PLEASE tell me.

PLEASE IM DESPrEAT!!!!

Heyy honey I seen what you had wrote and to be honest with you he is a boy who don’t know what he want… he want to play both sides of the field I say leave him alone and go find someone who is really for you hope I helped

Hi friends i’m inlove agirl whose age is about 15 years and my age is 18 i can’t express my love what do i do ?

I’m just 13 but trust me i know when i’m in love.. i’ve been through a lot of pain so that made me mature quicker .. The guy is 18 .. 5 years older .. but he makes me smile all the time when i talk to him i feel like i’m being swept off the ground .. he just makes me happy

This comment is for Anton

Trust me no one really knows wat the true meaning of love is.

Love is the most amazing feeling ever.Cuz i am in love with my best guy friend.It was love at first sight.When he calls me and i hear his voice,i smile so much.I love hearin his voice.And its not lust cuz i dont wanna do stuff wit him like that right now.I wanna wait till its the right time and all that.And he has realized that i really do love him.And im not scared of him hurtin me cuz i know he wont.I understand him.everything about him..He means so much to me.And i havent ever felt the way i do about him for anyone else before.Im deeply in love with this amazing guy.Lust&love are two different things.You will know when your in love.And lust is when you think your in love just because yall do sexual stuff with each other.And u get a good feelin about him.But love is way different.

I’m turning 15 soon and I’ve been through quit some things. I’ve been dealing with problems lately and this made me closer to my friends. I’ve liked any people over the years and every single time I’ve been convinced that I was ‘in love’ but never really was. I found it out soon. I think everyone loves their family and true friends, but somehow I have one friend that strucks my mind. He’s a guy and I’m positive I’m not attracted to him for sure. But whenever I think of him it feels as if my hearts opens up and lets all these happy thoughts flew in and out. All my care goes to him and it almost feels as if we’re together but we’re not. We both like other people, like like. This we sometimes talk about and often joke about. It’s hard to talk about because no one seems to understand. Is this true love, and has anyone experienced this before? Can this be friendship love or do I need a new word?

Hello,

love is a powerfull word to say, but is easily obtained sometimes you fall for someone who cheats on you etc etc and you still love them, at the end of the day if that happens you have to tell your self, will it work? if we contiued and you cant help who you fall for

i have been in love once, and had 3 girlfriends, the recent 1 i am with now is the 1 im in love with and love with all my heart my last 2 wasnt really love

if person is on your mind 24/7 dont nessarry mean love maybe crush or fancy, you need know a person before saying that but sometimes you just know who the right 1 is at the time

everyone falls in love eventually, dont search for it as itl come to you

i hope i helped, mike

I am 43 years old and was married for over 20 years…divorced 2 years ago and I have finally found out what true love is about!
I can’t believe I thought I was in love to my husband….sad to say but true.
The man I am with now is truely my soulmate…I know because he consumes my mind from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. When Im with him we just stare at each other and smile, talk, kiss…it was fireworks from the first kiss…light headed, dizzy, couldn’t breathe…its like a drug…I get so excited seeing him…can’t stand to be without him…my heart actually aches when Im not with him or we’re apart for more then 1 day…it’s not just sexual either, just laying next to him or holding his hand is so wonderful to me!
I hope that everyone at one time in their life can experience this! Like I said earlier…Im 43 and can die now knowing that I truely was in LOVE!

WOW, thats amazing !

THAT IS DA GREATEST THING EVER…
SOMEONE ONCE TOLD ME DAT LOVE WAS INSANITY CUZ IT MAKES U DO CRAZY THINGS..I BELIEVE THAT IS TRUE..I WONDER IF THAT IS TRUE..

I got blocked off from love when I got my heart broken twice so everythime I think about love I imagine the 2 girls that broke my heart and I keep any feeling of love for another girl back until I can be 100% sure I won’t get hurt. I am still very young, 15 pray for me.

ull find love so dont worry…ill pray for u honey…everything will turn out fine..

love is when, u wake up one morning and thoughts of him/her touch your mind like soft leaves blowning in the wind. . when just a simple touch feels like flames. it’s when you would give up anything, and the world for the man that as taken over your heart. Love is when the world is empty without him by your side. . . im only 18. . and i fell in love about two months ago. And let me tell you. . there is no “i might be in love with you” it’s “I simply cannot live with out you.” good luck ya’ll. . i hope you find what your looking for ))

You know when you’re in love when you cant live without that person, when you think about them every waking minuet. Love is when The person is you best friend as well as you girlfriend. Love is when you NEED her not just want her. If you see her and you think, “if i could change her whole face… i wouldn’t change a thing” . You know you’re in love when the girl is your life, if she broke her leg, you would run to her no matter where she was because it doesn’t matter… you’re in love. But if you love someone that much it hurts so much more when they don’t love you anymore.when you sit alone crying, no one to comfort you. nobody understands what you’re feeling. when i was 13 i realized why they call it a broken heart. It truly feels like you’re heart has been taken from you…

I Dunno If Im In Love or Not. I Have This Close Guy Friend And he Always makes me Smile. But The Thing That Bugs Me Is that we never hang out. I just had a dance at my school a few days ago and he was following me, It was starting to worry me because I kept getting butterflies whenever i seen his face. Hes the best Guy i could ever had but he says he wants me to be his Gf but then he likes this other girl. It makes me mad when he talks about her because he always says he loves me and he asks me all these questions. I think im in love but i tryed asking him out myself but he said he wanted to wait. But i guess im young and I Dunno if I ever will get to have my Best Guy friend as my Bf. Please help or at least try. Im only 11 turning 12 in a few days but I really don’t understand love that much…

Hi everyone!
I wanna share with you something I learnt some time ago and it goes like this: what people think about love is not totally correct. We tend to misunderstand love with attachment or adicction for the other person, when if we really love that person we do it Unconditionally, without expecting anything back, it’s like if you are really loving someone you want him/her to be free and to be happy. So what I’m trying to say is just love unconditionally, and let’s cut with the whole soap opera thing of “he doesn’t love me” or “she left me and she did this and that”. We are so much more that just characters of someone elses life, it’s time to be the main characters of our lives, the heroes of our own love stories.
Kisses to all, thanks for reading and.. start loving the right way!

that was the most useless waste of an article ever!!!!

I know seriously. It didn’t even come close to answering the question!

I didn’t try to answer the question in this blog post. Rather, I wanted to know what my readers thought and to hear more about their experiences. I linked to my articles at the end of the blog posting where I shared how, in my opinion and experience, people can determine whether or not they’re in love.

found a pretty cool statement, which is completely true on a new website called datemyfamily.com The website says “when you date someone you not only date that person, but you also date their family”. If you think about it, this is 100% factual information. Whether you want to look at it like that or not, at one point you will be building a relationship with your other half’s family. And a relationship will be that much harder if you do not get along with them. In fact, it could be just what breaks up your relationship.

I think I am in Love .well I tell my self I’m in love , yes they are the three most powerful words , but I stay true to myself so I must be in love. Recently my boyfriend and I broke up we argued many times before but still worked it out and stayed with each other. He cut his wrist over me the first time I broke up with him because I was the only woman he said he’s ever loved.I wasn’t sure if he knew what love was because he’s 13 and I’m 16 . I don’t care about the age any more because he’s the one who taught me not to . any ways its been at least 1 month and after he broke up with me and I sent him a love rap about up the first time we broke up . He found out my cell number and kept phoning me this one night over and over and when I asked him what he wanted he would say random thoughts so I would just hang up.. I don’t think he was over me yet and I’m not sure even though.. he wrote on FB saying he loved me still but jk right after .. I think about him everyday ,mostly what it would be like to be with him again. I’ve seen him in the recent week , he called me to see him and had the biggest smile on him face , i tried avoiding him but he followed after me any ways .he didn’t say anything because my sister was there or because he moved on ..They say if you love somebody you should set them free ; and if they don’t come back to you it was never meant to be . And if that’s true maybe I should give ourselves more time or I should continue learning to live without him because he doesn’t believe me when I tell him I loved him because I don’t know how I’m suppose to continue to love him when he’s not with me .. my heads telling me to let go but my hearts telling me to hold on. I tried very hard to forget about him when we broke up and to stay strong but I feel my love for him ,, my love for him wont ever fade away , I cant just stop loving him but I can try to live without him ..writing this isn’t getting him off my mind it makes me think about him more … </3

I think I’m in love but I’m not sure.I’m 15 years old and my boyfriend is 13. We’ve been together for 8 months.We say the words “I Love You” All the time.But do we really know what love is?We are in a long distance relationship.We live an hour and a half away.We talk everyday and yes we do see eachother.But when he comes down to see me like 4 times a month.(He begs his mom until she says yes) I get sick.And I cry because I don’t get to see him.I feel like I love him but I’m really not sure.Not seing him often kills me inside but I would wait a lifetime to be able to see him.He makes me so happy.I’m pretty sure that If I didn’t have him I wouldn’t be able to live(I’m not saying that I would kill myself) but I think I would die inside.He told me that he wants to be with me forever and wants to marry me and start a family when we’re older and I would like to do the same.He says he wants to be with me forever.I’m so scared to lose him.He’s the best thing in my life.We almost broke up once but it’s because all my friends were telling me to dump him because of the distance and they wanted me to date another guy.But I told him that I wanted him and only him and I wanted to be with him and I didn’t care what my friends thought and if my friends didn’t like it well then too bad for them.He says the sweetest things to me, he is deffinatly not like most guys.First of all he’s still a virgin (so am I) And he doens’t ask me for sex unlike all the other guys I dated.He told me that he is only ready when I’m ready.He actuatly cried infront of me when we almost broke up.He took it really hard.And he told me he didn’t want to lose me and would do anything to keep us together but it was my choice.And I told him I wanted to be with him forever and nothing but him mattered.Is this true love or is it just “puppy love” or a fling like everyone is saying? Please help me!

Paige, hello I hope I can bringing clarity to the matter.

Now a days younger and younger people are saying I LOVE You!! And of course because of this they are having big problems understanding what it is they are really feeling or what it is these feeling entail ! I think it would be best for me to explain that there IS a difference between being IN love and Truly loving someone.

I think Love can be two different things. The first being the feelings you get about that person, like them always being on your mind, that they always make you smile, you get butterflies, or the thought of them leaving makes you sick or hurt. This love is being IN love. With this love it may get hard to tell how much it means for your relation ship. Well it is a beautiful start to one!! Being IN love is wonderful but it does NOT mean you Truly love that person! Especially at a young age, because there are going to be so many changes to the people you are and the way you each see one another and the world!

So you do feel these strong feelings?! Well you are In love!!! Here’s where I think it’s VERY important to draw a line!! Just because you have these strong feelings of love does NOT justify making important decisions! Such as will I sleep with him/or her, Should I make this decision based on his/or her opinion, or any other choice you are not sure about!! These decisions are supposed to be based on truly loving someone. Believe me when you make these decision based on YOUR feeling, Your knowledge, Your sense of right and wrong and not on the presser of thinking your in love, you become a strong person!! Once you become a stronger person it will become easier to grow and experience being truly in love.

So now you know it’s O.K for you to label those strong feeling as you being IN love! and I stress the IN for a reason because when your young it’s so easy to get these feelings of love and that’s great!

I believe that 8 months IS NOT a long enough time to TRULY love someone. 8 months is (for some people) a long enough time to create a strong bond. (always on your mind, always make you smile, couldn’t keep breathing if he were to dump you). These feelings are real. They show that you are IN love. But I think saying I LOVE you is a far ways off from this point. (but use the frays to your level of importantness, to me I love you is for when you Truly love someone)

O.K paige, and whoever else is finding this helpfull. The second type of love, Truly loving someone. True love is something that grows from knowing a person, not because they told you everything that night you both held hands or kissed or shared an intimate moment, But because you know them better and more then just the stuff they’ve told you. You don’t threaten (to break up or to hurt them in anyway) when they aren’t right or have mad you angry. You know they wouldn’t hurt you and NOT because they “SAY” they won’t but because they HAVE NOT over years of knowing them. This will help now in future relationships because you know the difference between an I love you and truly loving someone. this can’t cover it the way it really deserves but I hope your see the difference. Trust me you all deserve love at this level to have a love that is both your best friend and closest love. If you hold on and grow with it you’ll find that place when you can really say I LOVE YOU. and you won’t have to ask if it’s real you won’t have a doubt in your mind.

Remember lots of people have more then one love throughout their lives!! There are different loves for different stages in you life, and I know how it can be to hear “puppy love” so lets not call it that! In all honesty it’s your young love because to you now it isn’t any less real, right!

To address your problem directly I would like to say that you KNOW when the feelings your are feeling are completely genuine. So the fact that your asking if your in love is an indicator of how you really feel. Your not sure! and the people who are around you play a big role in decision making and YOUR relationship. That to me shows that you are not truly in love with this person. That by all means does NOT discredit any feeling you have for the boy. You obviously care about him!! But don’t force your self into feeling things because you think you should be feeling things! When it happens it will happen without you having to force it.

I hope I helped even a little. I hope your less confused and feel more sure about your self. But most of all I hope I helped someone keep going because it’s hard when you get caught up in the “It should be like this” and forget that every relation ship is very different just like the people in them.

I dated this guy 4 years ago for only a month and things did not work out for us so we agreed to be friends.We became closer and closer and we understand each other so much.Later this year he told me that he wants me and i feel the same but i could not say yes then because he is in another relationship with a certain girl who is so much commited to him and really wants to get married to him.I feel i love him but it is so hard for me to go out with him yet he is dating someone else.When i asked him about her he said he could not call off his relationship just like he is shooting a duck.It has been 6 months now and he hasn’t done anything about his other relationship.What do i do am stuck.?Should i find my way out though its really difficult?

Weeeell, I loved my husband , really loved him, would have died for him, but he had a greater love- drink ! it ruined our marriage. I divorced him 10 months ago, it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. He was gutted after threatening to do it for so long I finally found the strength, I broke his heart, we were married for 20 years. within 2 months he found someone else & it was his turn to break my heart.
I have found a lovely man who loves me deeply, I do care for him but I feel as though part of me is missing, I think about my husband all the time, never a day goes by, a certain song will come on & I find myself weeping uncontrollably, its a physical pain that rips you up, everyone thinks I’m so much better off without him but not one of them realises that I truly loved this man & my life is empty without him. Is this how its going to be for the rest of my life ? Love is all consuming, it doesnt go away or stop its there inside you & you dont have any control over it, believe me I wish you had.

Iknw I’m in love because I love him very much

i hate it when my boyfriend asks me if im sure that i love him..NEVER ASK WHY IM IN LOVE WITH YOU…JUST ACCEPT THAT I DO AND THAT I WILL FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE..

Love triangle…

12 July 2011
taking my 30 minutes free time and then back to teaching.

Here’s my story.. there’s this guy I’ve been with for about almost 5 years —> my X. We broke up when i realised that our relationship doesn’t mean anything. I do love him and care for him.. but there’s always the time when i feel the lose connection, unappreciated, used. The love wasn’t pure.. it didn’t felt real. Now i know myself that I wasn’t sure what a felt for him before.. I know I felt it was real but sometimes it just fade away. Yes, he realised now that it is his fault for making me thinking me to ask him to let me free. If i do love him.. I’ll never get the idea to ask to set me free. He never know how to show his love.. He’s the one who makes me think all boys are the same. He’s the one that makes me think love is bullshit. He’s the one who fades my trust in him. He’s the one who shows me lust more than love. I do not know what the hell LOVE is… Until there’s this guy.. another guy came to my life —> if God allows, my new hope. Which I never expect to happen like this.. A guy who was once heart broken and got drown away from all negativities and nonsence feelings.. such abnormal feelings which he had with his former lover. Unexpectedly sees me in the eyes, sees my heart, feels me just like that!, sees what i wish to see… shows me what i wish to have. Pure Love. He himself can’t imagine and can’t believe that he can easily open his heart to me. He believes that I’m the one who’s been sent from God to him. A miracle, blessings, amazingly unlogically an odinary young human being sent to him. ME. Seems unsane.. but woooooh! damnit its real.

Now here I am.. wondering what should i do next. What decision should i make. 2 guys are waiting for me.. one who i have known and been with for almost 5 years and one who i only have known for 3 and a half week.

WTF.

wish me luck.
yes no rush.
and hey I’m only 18.

Ummmmmmmmm i am really worried about my boyfriend im 15 and he is 17. His last girlfriend was a really close relationship he thought he was in love with her and her parents told her that they couldnt see eachother anymore soo they tried to see eachother with out her parents knowing but it didnt work out and he found out she cheated on him….. she totally broke his heart and now he is with me and I think he loves me but idk His friend said that he really loves me its just that he is scared to get close to anyone after what happened. I really love him How do i know this is cause even with his flaws he is perfect. He is all i can think about i cant go a day with out thinking about him. Even though he drives me insane i want to be right with him no matter what. I dont even know why I am confused idk why i put this upi just needed to get it out i feel stupid but idk what to do

give him some time let your relationship build and show him reasons to trust him without showing your intentions trust me on this one sorry i cant be a lot of help

You are not stupid. it is a common occurence for people to spill their guts anonymously on the internet. I do it all the time. I think that when you can go up to him and say you love him, like actually say “i love you” without pause and with ease and ending witha genuine smile, and he can say it back without freaking out, then you are off on a good start. right now may not be the time to be obsessing over whether you love them or not. after all; you are fifteen and still figuring out what you want. confusion is part of adolesence. and no i am not an adult. I am actually eighteen. so i actually know what i am talking about. good luck!

love is waiting. I know I may get a bunch of comments on here that are like “oh no here goes an abstinence talk” but when you think about it, it does make complete sense. I know a woman who used to sleep around a lot and always went for Mr. right now. then one day she turned her life around. she decided from then on she would stay pure and every tiem she was tempted to go back to her old ways, she would write a love letter to her future husband. on their wedding night, she gave every single letter to him. love isn’t taking. love is giving. it is a complete sacrifice of yourself to someone else. the best part is when they sacrifice themselves for you. the feeling of two people giving everything for each other becomes an ultimate feeling of euphoria. I think love coems in the small things that sort of just add up. also i have found that if you get into arguments about stuff that matters, then its a sign you care. it really takes love to disagree with someone.
if that makes sense….

I’ve read a lot of these comments, and some make sense to me and some confuse me. I know everyone keeps saying that you know when you’re in love, and that if you don’t “know” then you’re not. But I’ve never been in love before and I’m not sure how it’s supposed to feel. I met my current best friend five months ago when I first got to college. We’ve grown very close and have class together, hang out together, eat together, and people around us know what good friends we are. I tell him everything and trust him with anything. I feel completely comfortable around him and I know he feels that way about me. He’s a flirty kid; I was aware before I even addressed my feelings, but when we hang out with snuggle and talk about things we’ve never told anyone. For a while I denied to myself that he was anything more than my friend, but one of my girlfriends brought up that she could see us together. After someone recognized it, I finally allowed myself to be honest and admit that I think I’m in love. I also think it’s pretty known by my guy friend that I have feelings for him. However I have no way of knowing whether he feels the same. Like many people have said in other comments, love is when you just want to be with the person, think about them all the time, and care about them so much it hurts. I feel very attracted to him, but even more than that, i just want to be with him and find myself wondering what he’s doing. I’m not sure if I’m trying to make up love out of friendship, or if it’s just attraction. Regardless of if I am in love or not, I don’t think anything will happen anytime soon. I’m not scared to tell him if it’s the truth. I just want to KNOW so i KNOW. I really need help from anyone who can relate.

Hi im 13 years old and believe hat I have found love. The i love I used to hang Out with for at least 2 years(2008-2010). From the day we met I actually didnt like her but I new that she was different from the rest. We began to be friends and then best friends until she realized she liked me ( she lived me before but just began to relize she loved me). At that moment we held hands for the first time it felt like nothing I had ever experienced before even at a young age. For months I jumped at the phone and rushed, accepted her and her flaws, thought about her 24/7 365 days per year. We were truly in love and we both new it. Then like any other relationship we had our second fight ever. Then we saw other people but to this day we both admit it was stupidity and we both loved eachover. There is truly no definion to love as each love is different. You are never uncerrian about love and know it when you feel it. I hope everyone can experience love one day as it is lifechanging. You become a better person and love your life more than before so much. My name is Jacob Watson and this is my story.

i am really in love with a guy who is ten years older than me he is all i think about all i want but theres just one thing he dosnt know he dosnt know how much it hurts me to see him and not be able tell him how i feel it hurts soo much

We all have come onto this discussion for a reason, and I do not exclude myself.

I am a female in my early 40s and am not here to tell my story but instead, I want to thank those above who have shared some substantial life stories.

The years of experience say a lot… and I, for one, thank you for taking the time to share those experiences and let you know your stories have been appreciated.

This page is a fen rip off.. Not one of the freaking articles explained to me what love truely feels like.. Waste of freaking time..

@Lisa: Two articles, if not more, that I linked to in the article discuss specifically what you feel when you’re in love, and how to tell. Try:

What Is Love? and How Can I Tell If I’m In Love?

Was there something else specific that you wanted answered, but didn’t feel it was? Let me know.

oh!
i can fell that i really in love with him its really touches my heart

Me and my boyfriend care about each other ALOT and we told each other we loved each other really soon. we were good frinds first and it took me a while to realise how much i loved him. I realised because there was a long period where we weren’t speaking to each other and I cant even explain how much i missed him! i gradually began wanting to be as close to him as possible and spoke to him alot more. I then told him i liked him (i already knew that he liked me back) and about a week later we told each other that we were in love. im only 13 and this is the first time i’ve been in love but it’s the best feeling in the world! =)

I recently startd developing feelinz 4 my neighbor and
Ill be honest its startin 2 freek me out ive known her
4 5 years but just recently startd relizin how much i

Admit it ( if its tru) pleez help me i also dont no how
2 tell if she likesme pleez help me on that 1 2

I think it’s safe to say that I’ve never been truly in love. Right now I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. I have been with this older woman for about 8 or 9 months. My problem is that I don’t think I love her and I don’t want to be with her anymore. She’s really nice and seems to care about me a lot, but my heart isn’t in it. I want to tell her how I feel but I know how it would make her feel and I would just feel absolutely terrible about doing that to her. But I’m not entirely sure she is actually in love with me either. I just feel tied down all the time. I really don’t want to hurt her but I don’t know what to do.

I think that im in love because my boyfriend and i go to different schools and it is so hard to get through the week with out seeing him!! sometimes i miss him so much that my heart litterally hurts!!! i love him with all of my heart and i cant get him out of my mind!! ive broke up with him before and i cheated on him and those were the biggest mistakes of my life and im not even kidding!! and now when i see him my heart skips a couple of beats my stomach get tied in knots and i just feel so happy!! i think about him every dsy!!! he treats me like a princess!! i think im in love!! am i???
