How do you know when you are in love?

Question

I've been best friends with this guy for four years. We've always been way too close for most girl/guy friendships. We have always been able to tell each other all our secrets and we even have asked each other really weird questions about the opposite s*x. We started dating about 4 months ago and its weird... He isn't a virgin, but I am. He never even bothers me about it. He says s*x can wait. He used to smoke ALOT and he quit because I hate it. I used to not talk to anyone about how I feel, and I call him because I want to. We both push each other to do well in school and we have fun just hanging out. Everytime we are together I feel like a princess practically. I can't be happier! When we aren't together, I end up thinking about him whether I want to or not.

But most importantly, my question is, how do you know when you are in love?

**Please don't answer with you'll just know because if that were the case, we would have been married for at least 3 years now.

Answer 1

When you see him sitting on the dumper ('cause he was too complacent to close the door) pushing out a dookey and you still want to hit it.  That's love.

When you are willing to have a three way with not just another woman, but your sister, you are in love.

Answer 3

you answered your own question~When we aren't together, I end up thinking about him whether I want to or not~ you are in love you just said it yourself its when you wanting to be with them all of the time and when your not all you do is think about them try to imagine him not being around and see how that would make you feel

It sounds like you're in a great relationship so congrats on that!  You know, if anyone could really define love, they'd probably be a millionaire! :)  In my opinion, true love is when you have a HEALTHY love......that person encourages you to be independent, happy within yourself, lifts up your self-esteem, puts your needs ahead of his own & vice versa, and you work TOGETHER to build a life.  When you're in love, you naturally include that person as part of your major life decisions.  For example, you'd never accept a job 3 states away without first consulting the one you love because it affects that person too!  Healthy love is one in which both people flourish and are made into better versions of themselves.  My mom always told me "you may fall in love many times over in your life but there are few men that you'll fall in love with that you can actually build a LIFE with."  It took me a while to see what she meant by that but I do today.  She meant that it's easy to fall in love...to experience those ooey, gooey emotions and care for someone so unconditionally....but it's much harder to find someone who shares your values for work, family, finances, career, etc....those things which make a life.  

Anyway, I hope you see what I mean!

When you are truly in love with someone, you know it. You feel as if that person completes you and feel empty without that person. You would do anything for that person, even give your life for them. You want to make them happy, not in a way that is co-dependant, but because that person's happiness makes you happy.
