hello guys .. my question is about how could i know if i really love someone or it's just an ordinary feeling everyone of us has an opinion in this subjects i've asked my friends about this questions before and that's was there answers : the first one said to me "u shiver out of excitement every time u see that person..u get this weird feeling inside ur stomach if u see this person or when u know you are going to see this person" The second said "you just know it is unexplainable" The third said "When you can't go one day without thinking about them. Or you want to just devote yourself to them, you would do anything for them. Thats love" The forth said "only you can know if you love someone" The fifth said "i think you love someone when they are the only thing you can think of day and night. you get butterflies in you stomach when you see them or talk to them the thought of not having them in your life makes you cry" So which is the right answer guys ?! if none of them is right .. So what's the meaningful answer in your opinion ?!

i think i would go for "only you can know if you love some one" simply because we are all unique in our own ways and how we reflect our emotions differ..

when you fall in love with someone(not some one he/she is becomes your loved one), You listens a Sweet background music, you feel that Rain is slowly falling, you feel that flowers are falling from the sky, ............ and you may get love fever also.........

I think there is no one way to know you are in love. I think love is as individual as the person. I think love can develop very quickly or very slowly. I knew that I was falling in love with my husband when I just felt a strong need to be with him or at least to talk to him. It was hard to concentrate on anything else. I just wanted to connect with him. I felt like I was walking on air. I had butterflies in my stomach when I heard his voice. We have been together for 10 years now and I still have the same feelings. I know I am very lucky to have found a love so strong.

Actually, all the things that your friends have explained are correct. All those things will happen to you when you are in love. No matter how confident you are and how good looking you are, when you are in front of your first love, you will feel that the world has stopped, not a single word will come out of your mouth. You will feel that your body is out of control, you know that when she is in front of you, you should do something, but, your body will not respond, your brain will be stuck, you will try to listen to her, look at her and you will start forgetting most of the common things in your life. In my case, I was so nervous, I completed my paper and instead of submitting the answer sheet, I came out with the answer sheet (I did not realize) because she was there in the examination hall. In one line, if you feel that proposing someone is the toughest of the toughest thing in your life, it is your true love !!!

We can never say the exact words when we found love because it's really a mystery. All I know is that you will know it when you get there, when the time is right and when that person feels the same way as you do. It's unexplainable but all of what those people told you are true because we have different experiences. What other's experienced may be different from you.

We have out own opinion and own great feelings toward love. For me this is a feeling of excitement, happiness and great wonderful time being with him. You can feel all the cloud nine up above. All the decisions i've made was easy if i'm with him. Imagine all the wonderful feelings. I can't explain the whole feelings.

I am not sure what to answer you as I am never yet in love before. Crushes yes, but that was so long ago, when I was still 6 years old. But anyway, I think you need to ask your parents, if they are still together, as to how would you know if you are in love. Who are better than the experienced and the knowledgeable in the field to ask? However, in my opinion, you'll only know if you are in love with someone, if ever you decide to love that person. In the relationship of two persons, one ought to follow logic than feeling. In other words, one must follow ones intellect than ones instincts. In this alone, the other would know if you really love him/her through your willingness to sacrifice something for the good of that person's well-being. If ever you fall in love and unsure if that person really loves you, think of the things he do in order to protect you and your future. Happy MyLotting!

Love is not always given or received easily. Sometimes we can see love coming from miles away. Other times we don't see love until it passes us by. Only our heart can tell us when we are in love or love somebody. The choice is then ours what to do with this love we have found.

Well the answers people gave to your were explaining feeling you get on the way to falling in love but, I believe if you're in love with someone there is so much your aware of. If you get butterflies when you see someone who means you like them a lot. You can still get butterflies from the person you're in love with but the rush of excitement you feel when that person is in your eye shot doesn't define being in love with them. This is how you know you're in love. You stop being so selfish. No matter what we think or say, the fact that you genuinely care about another person's life and well-being is huge. You're in love with someone when you know that it's OK if you don't feel butterflies all the time. You love someone if you take care of them when there sick. You love someone when giving that person a gift makes you just as happy as receiving one yourself. You love someone when it consumes you. You love someone when you still love them after the beginning stage. You love someone when you feel that person is part of your family. You love someone if you try to make yourself the best individual person you can be for the person you love. You love someone when you know it. There isn't a sudden understanding or instant light bulb effect that goes off in your head when you're in love. It just happens and you recognize it after your already in love. Being in love is great. Being in love is sometimes hard work. Being in love is lucky. If you have never been in love before, you should be very excited. It's something that can't be explained because it is so rare and powerful. Most of all you're in love when you recognize you were never really in love with someone in your past; even though you thought you were. People sometimes think they have been in love with someone before. Then they meet someone and truly fall in love for the first time. Love is truly life's greatest gift. Anyone who hasn't been in love yet should be very excited for the future.

The major thing that you know that you love someone is that you really don't know why you like the person. because I believe that a true love always don't have a reason but if you love for a reason or being technical then you don't love that person.

The feeling of falling in love is so wonderful,u think the sky has never been brighter than ever,every breath u take is fresh.u can't wait to see the guy,all in ur brain is him(her).I think it's what "in love" likes.

Whatever you have mentioned, all are absolutely right. You can enjoy that feeling only if you experience it.

I agree to one of the above answer, you will know it. No matter what. You will not know how you know it, but you know it. When I felt a true love of mine : my eyes were glued to him, and yes I felt that butterflies in my stomach, I didn't exactly know how but I kept smiling around him, kept wanting to be close to him, felt so happy when I saw his name on my cell phone. It might be real long to explain each details I felt when I was crazy in love with that guy. Love is so amazing. You know why I said that? Even though he is married and a father of 2 cute kids now.. I still can feel that blush on my cheek right now as I type this comment on. He is not the most handsome man in the world, or even in his group. But not certainly know why, I was just so crazy in love with him.

For me it's true love when you fell that you can't live without him/her in your life.. If you see all the bad things in their personality yet you still love her/him. because for me love is continues acceptance to the person you really love, when they two people got married they are totally strangers to each other though they had a long relationship as gf/bf because. when two person live in the same roof it's another story of your life. For me when you ready to accept with him/her good and bad in their life and you feel your life is not complete without him/her, I think it's love.

Hi, Vito! Actually, I have also the same question as yours. For me its really hard to figure out if you are in love or you love someone. Why? For me, its so hard to define what is it because I don't have any experience yet of feeling " In LOVE" to my opposite, All I know is just "infatuation" or "admiration" which I think is similar to feeling "in love". First, you said "you shiver out of excitement every time you see that person" - we feel this when we are in the stage of having our crushes. Our day wont be completed, if we haven't seen them. We always think of them and sometimes we used to say "IS HE/SHE THE ONE?" Why can't I stop thinking about him/her? Why am I willing to do/give everything just for her/him? Sometimes, we are blinded by our emotions, we always do this without knowing what we really feel. We think its right to do it because it makes us happy.. It is really hard to define our feelings. I think we can figure them when we can differentiate the word "INFATUATION" and "LOVE" because they both have the same feeling but I don't know what's the exact feeling must be felt that you can say you are really in love and whats makes them real different from each other.

you just feel it.. it is true that it is unexplainable. it is an overwhelming happiness. it makes your heart beat faster. i'm in love right now and never stop thinking of him, i do things for him that i don't usually do for others. i give him special attention and treat him like a prince.
