If you have doubt you aren't.
you just do man!

When they look at you, you're happy, and everything is great, but when they cheat everything is bad, so bad!

Not that ive ever loved or been loved, but anywho, this world is all false, a creation of my mind!
You don't. Love doesn't exist.

Well, if you are in love you just find yourself missing the person whenver they are not around you and hating it when you have to say goodbye to the person. Whenever you talk to that person you just light up and feel so warm and fuzzy inside that you just cannot help but smile.
You also end up tied to the other person's emotions, so when they are happy, so are you, when they are sad, you feel sadness as well and will do anything to make them happy again.

When you feel all tingly inside and you can just tell from looking in his eyes that he feels the same. When you feel that you can be yourself all of the time and you can just tell from looking in his eyes that he wouldn't have it any other way. When you want to make him happier than he's ever been and you can just tell from looking in his eyes that he wants to do the same for you.

Love's just a word for a feeling surely, and that feeling definitely exists...

I don't really believe in the whole 'you just know' theory though, to me being in love is like a really really strong feeling of love which can't be described properly (cop out!). It has a kind of spiritual quality to it too I think, if that makes sense? You kind of live for that person, although not necessarily by letting them run your whole life, you can have 'sensible' love which isn't just a jelly of emotions..

I'm gonna stop, am making no sense! :rolleyes:

I am in love for the first time in my life. I feel such an ache in my heart because he is not with me. It is an undescribable feeling.

Me too! It's beautiful and it hurts... very weird.
Love by its very definition is going to be different for everyone. For some, it may truly not exist. For others, it might look like something else to us observers, like lust or obsession. Think about how many times we say "that isnt love, its just a teenage crush" etc but I dont think we have any right to do this. If someone says they are in love they have the right to believe that. They will find out, in retrospect if it was true or not.
So, here's my opinion of what love is, to me:

1: You'll know in retrospect usually. It's very hard to tell til you've had some space from the situation - even broken up with them. WE truly do sometimes only realise it wasnt really love when we are free, or look back and realise it *was* love, and we accidently missed it , Oops (maybe we didnt *want* to be in love at the time?)

2: Love is pain, and arguments. Its plenty of good things too, but its not all sweet and fluffy and perfect. That would be unrealistic. You cant know the true stregnth of something til suddenly, its being tested. If you love someone, you care enough to argue, but also care enough to make up and compromise.

3: often love is most present when you are trying to deny it. If you fight it and fight it and really dont want to be in love, but realise you are, that knowledge will have the ring of truth to it, and you wont be able to deny it to yourself forever.

4: you *can* love someone who dosent love you back. I have friends who deny this, and say that then it is lust or obsession. For them, this may be true, for me, it is not.

5: The good stuff finally: you cant stop grinning, you keep having days that are "the best in your life so far". You think about them far too often, but when you do it isnt just lust you feel, but something warmer. You know that if you lost them, you wouldnt die, but the light would go out of your life. You trust them, they make you feel safe. You know you can come to them with your problems and they wont judge you, and visa versa. You feel addicted to their wamrth, the scent of them, the texture of their skin - you're intoxicated by their prescence. You feel imspired to do better things with your life. You feel far more confident, far less scared, of life and situations, because you know there is someone who will be there for you, and listen. They are the one person you would take with you, to a desert island. You imagine the future with them, and it dosent scare you. You stop having a choice. You just know. Loving them is as much a part of you as your hands, your breath, your heart.

Well according to the matrix, you should be able to feel it, balls to bones.

I'd see a doctor personally.

Dammit queenselphie, that was pretty much what I was going to say. I think I must have had 3 months were everything went right for me everyday, and when things went wrong it just seemed a small blip as I was in love. It was a protective shield, and my best friend could not believe the change in me. I was always happy, and never put down any of my friends with sarcasm. The second the shield was burst in a break-up I became the sarcastic, sadistic creature my friends know today.

It's weird, but after over a year I still love her...i've had nights where my heart has hurt when i've thought about her. I was intoxicated beyond measure, the sound of her voice gave me a buzz and her smell gave me a high. When I went on holiday for 2 weeks, I couldn't enjoy it as much as I should because all I could do was think about her. I emailed her every day, sometimes twice, even without response, just to get a little closer to her.

I've thought seriously about whether I was in love, and even thought maybe it was just lust, but I felt so good around her, and she felt so relaxed around me. I told her everything about me without fear of judgement. I believe I was in love, and I'm waiting for that feeling again.
It's the best and worst feeling in the world; you can't miss it. :biggrin:
I was going out with my boyfriend for like 3 months before i realised. It hit me in the middle of lord of the rings when i was curled up on his chest...and i just couldn't stop smiling.
Love differs from person to person.

But I'd say its when you're always wondering what the other person is doing, when you wish you were with them all the time and are content when in their company.

Its when you accept them for their faults as well as their virtues, and can appreciate them for who they truly are.

Man, I remember when I got into "arguments" with my girlfriend, I'd always still smile and be more in love with her because her cute argumentative nature was part of her personality, and I adored it so much.
