How did YOU know that you were inlove

What was it that happened that made you realize that you truly love(d) that person? How did it hit you? What exactly did you feel (physically/emotionally)??

For me it was when, after leaving college for the weekend to stay with him at a friend's house, I had to go back to school. He was waiting at the trainstation with me and as the train was comming we kissed and I felt like I was breathing fire and time practically stopped and it was as if that one kiss lasted for hours. For the entire 4 hour train ride back to my school whenever I closed my eyes I could feel the kiss again. And.. yeah, that's how I knew.

I'm just curious to hear what kinds of situations other people had.

 

When i stopped and realized she was always on my mind. Like always always lol, and usually in my dreams to.

 

yeah, when i noticed i always think about him, and how i still get butterflies in my belly when i visit him and i smile constantly when i'm with him and when he touches me i shiver.

 

When you've been married for three years and together you've gotten through miscarriages..addictions... mental illnesses...and you realise that even though you will fall in and out of love with that person for the rest of your life...you will always fall back in love with them again...the couples that stay together are those who dont fall out of love with each other at the same time! And it takes work.. hard ass work!!!

 

It's kind of weird how it just came over me so randomly last week. My neighbor who is a year younger than me is pretty popular, pretty and such, she's been my neighbor for a while but I cant remember the last time we have talked......and now randomly I have feelings for her which just seem to get stronger and stronger every day. Butterflies thinking about her, writing about her in Study block! It doesnt have anything to do with sexual fantasies either....sometime I have to find the courage to talk to her more and more. If I dont I'll explode. I think love is great, I love love and at the same time I sort of hate it because it is killing my mind, all that I can think about is her.

 

The night that I was able to open up to him and tell him my darkest secret and he held me while I cried and cried with me...I knew then. Almost a year and a half later, still together and as in love as that day.

It's love when a simple kiss on the forehead or hug can turn the worst day in the world around.

 

I had always been very close to my family, particularly to my mom, and they had always been my first port of call when I had a stressful or bad day. So for me the first time I realised that I loved him was when I was having a really, really bad day at work, and the first thought that popped into my head was that I I would have given anything to have been with him at that moment because just one hug or kiss or even just hearing his voice makes me feel 100% better.

I realised that he has the ability to turn the worst day around just by being with me, he's also the first person I can cry in front of without being ashamed, and he's the only one who can make me laugh when I feel like I want to cry. That is when I knew that I loved him.

 

When I noticed that I think about her at all times when I am awake and dream about her when I am asleep. I can't stand being away from my fiance. I haven't seen her for almost a month now, because she is away at school She is the only person I have found to be worth a long distance relationship.

 

It's a great feeling, however you realize it! Makes you feel alive, and hopeful for the future.

 

^^^definitely one of the best highs a person can experience.

 

The night that she opened herself up to me completely, and bared her soul to me. I felt a connection to her that night, that I will never forget. We went through the whole range of emotions that night, but at the end, all I wanted to do was hold her in my arms and wash away all her hurts and fears.

I fell in love with her, and I KNEW that she was what I had always needed. And it's only become more wonderful ever since...

 

Matthew and I have been best friends since kindergarten and I've always loved him but it came over me only a month ago that I was IN love with him on such a deep level that I wasn't experiencing emotions like jelousy or just plain typical boyfriend-girlfriend emotions. Our love transcends it all, and he told me he had been in love with me since eighth grade. We never go a day without eachother (even before this realization), we live for music, we are moving in together in the summer. I would marry him tomorrow if he asked.

 

I knew I was in love when my boyfriend said "I love you" and I could say it back without feeling guilty. And I knew that if he did something awful to me, I could forgive him and still care about him as much as I currently did. I knew that I could spend the rest of my life with him, and not feel as if I missed out on anything, but rather gained something by being with him.

 

I knew that I loved him when I realized I felt blessed to even know him.

 

The moment I laid eyes on Olivia, I knew that I was in love. I became addicted and it kept me going through the darkest hours of the night whilst wandering alone in suburbia where every sign has a neon sombrero, red light flicking in the wind and burnt out fag butts under my feet. Just thinking of Olivia made me feel warm inside. I suddenly forgot about my surroundings because I was so entranced.

 

I knew I was in love with her when I saw myself in her eyes... and had to control my heart because it felt as if it were going to burst out my chest. WORDS can't describe what that emotion feels like... for real.

 

I fell in love with her at a summer camp we both worked at. I realized I was in love when I couldn't sleep at night because I couldn't get her off of my thoughts and when I called her and told her to meet me in the woods, she went without question and kissed me for the first time. Sounds corny but everything fell into place and time no longer existed for the moment. It was just us, as one, together.
Whenever I see her with children, I fall in love over again. The look she has in her eyes is sooo passionate, loving and giving.

 

When you hate talking on the phone in general, yet find yourself talking to the person you love for hours.

 

Actually, scratch that. Thats infatuation, not love, and sooner or later you hate talking to them on the phone too. Aww man I hate talking on the phone. Ever have a job interview over the phone? That sucks big time.

Anyway, I guess you know you love someone when you tell them you love them, and then don't hate yourself later for feeling like you were lying to them.

 

i was in a lot of relationships before i actually fell in love. in all my previous relationships, there was always something between us, something about them that bothered me. but when i met daniel i sort of just put everything in perspective and loved him for who he was despite his past and his faults and those things about him that may have made things difficult in the future. he was the first person who i felt comfortable with on that level. even at my worst he loved me just the same and after awhile i couldnt picture my life without him. we were both similar in a lot of ways. he has made some mistakes though. its been a few months now and i dont miss him any less
