Im a little confussed...

The other night my boyfriend stayed the night at my house We were laying on the couch watching T.V. and he told me that he was sorry that he couldn't take me to the prom(which was that night-he got kicked out of school and had to go to alternative school) I told him that it was ok. Well a few minutes later he told me that he was in love with me, not that he loved me but that he was in love with me.....I said what do you mean, he said that there was something about me and that he has never felt this way about anyone else. At first it was kinda of scary beacuse I wasn't expecting it at all and then I got thinking how do you know that you are in love with someone? This isn't like any of the other relationships that I have been in before, I mean this kid means the world to me and my friends can tell that we do care about each other. I could be having the worst day in my life, and then when I talk to him or see him it's like nothing else in the world matters.
Got any clues for me?

Actually we haven't had sex and he hasn't tried anything at all- he's told people when they asked him if we have had sex he said no I respect her to much.

How is it disrespectful to have sex with somebody?

i think we're dealing with america here. so sex is just out of any field of comprehension.

anyway. love. just go with the flow. don't be scared. it's not too bad.

I think he ment that he respected me to much to just go out with me for the sex and that he was gonna wait till i was ready.

Just because you have sex with someone doesn't mean that's all you want from them.

You just *know*

I know, that's the crappiest explanation in the world ever, but there's just this culmination of comfort, security, happiness and all sorts of mushy junk, and one day, suddenly you just *can't* hold those words in anymore and poof, you're in lurve.

:dito: I always seem to agree with you. You always say something along the lines of what I was going to say so it is a lot easier just to ditto your quote lol.
is there an antithesis of love somewhere? I don't just mean hate, we all 'hate' someone, but what would by the complete opposite i.e. this:

"You just *know*

applied to hate...
There is a such thing as love :love: I know, cos I feel it

but how can you be sure that the feelings that you are describing as love are indeed the same feelings that other people know as love?

You don't!

Cos its everywhere you go, on the telly, in books, mags, people you meet, those around you, especially in music, love is the most topic that has been sang about. Its just a word love isnt it, and alot of people say it everyday dont they without mean ing it, but theres different types of love.
The one Im reffering too, is the one which is sang about a million times, ok ok yes in westlife songs also. Of course its real, and if you care about someones well being, and you pray for them to be alrite, and it hurts inside your heart when you see them hurt, its love isnt it? Cos thats how I feel with the man I love and my family.
Ol, so here's the deal. We are getting into a discussion about the metaphysics of secondary qualities and their so-called "locations". This issue is that as soon as you model a secondary as some kind of an interaction between an object modelled to exist as a thing-in-itself and an intentional consciousness then we must at once see that emotion becomes ephemeral. For this reason any signifiant of the emotion becomes meaningless (and I use the concept of meaning in its strictest terms). While this interaction may exist the concept as a reified abstract is at once a nonsense.

All I can say on this is it sounds likely - just hang on in and enjoy it all!

The concept of "meaning" in music or mussic as some kind of sign is a rather contentious issue at best.
