Firstly I apologise for changing the subject from the usual filth (that is not a bad thing btw...) I read on here..... I would like other peoples opinions... how do you know when you are 'in love' !?
Well, it's hard to say really. You just...know. It suddenly hits you one day, and you realize that oh my goodness, I really LOVE this person! That's how it was with my husband and I at least.
yeah i agree with hippychickmommy. i'm really pathetic when i'm in love lol so when i can't think of anything else than that one person, the only thing i talk about is that person and i get all warm and fuzzy inside when we talk.. i know i'm definitely in love haha
when u cant wait to see the person, they are all you think about, all you talk about. You love that feeling you get when you think about them or talk to them. or when somone says their name you get butterflies. hmm.... i must be in love?!?!?! haha
oohh I don't really know. I guess I'll know when I am when i become less cynical about romantic gestures and things like that. Or maybe it isn't about all that crap (told you i was cynical)
I know I'm in love when I can't get the thought of someone out of my head, and I always have a big, stupid grin on my face when I do think of them. But this is just when I fall for a girl. As for true, unconditional, devoted, everlasting love: don't know, never felt it.
Even though people have already said it: You just know. All of a sudden you find that you have total devotion to one person, and you just know your in love.
I've thought I might have been in the past, but that was until recently when I really fell in love. As has been said, you just know. You don't have to think about it or ask yourself if it is love. Damn, now I'm missing her, and she's only been away 2 days. Roll on Wednesday when we shall be together again )
i had an argument with my flatmate about this actually - she reckons that when you are in love with someone your rose tinted specs are firmly in place and so they seem perfect to you - they can do no wrong. I think that that sort of description maybe fits that first bloom of love, when you are all infatuated, but when it turns to true love, I think that you are able to see the other persons flaws but you find them wonderful anyway. Like you might realise that they are imperfect but at the same time you realise that you wouldn't want them to be different. not that i've had exeperience in the true love-of-my-life department, but from watching the people I know who are in love that's just the picture i get - love is when you realise your partner is human, they are flawed, but you adore them and cherish them anyway.
i totally agree with that!! i love my boyfriend sooo much, and even though he does things that make me madder than anything, and annoy me to death, i wouldn't change a THING, and i'd rather be frustrated with him, than be with anybody else.
Uncontrollable butterflies flutter within your stomach and you get this overwhelming feeling in your chest and you become aware of your beating heart... whenever you are with/ thinking of that person. IMO, you only get this feeling with only one person. But that's me.
I hate the old, YOU JUST KNOW, thing with love its disappointingly horrible for a defintion lol sorry whoever said it. People have described love as butterflies, wanting to see the person, wanting to talk about them, wanting to say anything to them. I think you have to look deeper into it, i realised with my girlfriend that I loved her when you realise they are as close to you as anyone could be, not in similarities but in mind. They know you and your habits, they could know your keeping a secret just by the way you ate lunch, someone who knows something about you that no one else does, and when soemthing comes up that makes u shy away they are the first person and sometimes the last in the room to see you do it. The kinda person that will always know if your trying to lie to someone, a person who will not have consider putting themselves in harms way to protect you, a person who will discover your imperfections and still love you for them and embrace you, a person who will dream of having you father/mother their children because the thought of them being like the person you love fills you with joy. The person who you will give up a dream for, even if they dont want you too. Love is willingness to compromise and sacrifise, to give everything and nothing...If you can seriously put yourself in a position where each of these points applies and say, yes for that person id do that or I can do that with that person, then your in love.
