It would be quiote difficult, really, as many have said to say precisely how. And, it is precisely because of this reason: "Love" is a social construct defined according to you own experience, your information of the experience of others you interact with, and the interpretations you have - or your processing - of the information you gather from these collective experiences. This construct, mind you, is not static, but evolves in the continuous learning process called life. :)

Of course not! I thought I was talking (or writing) to a social scientist :) I tried to "fit in". Thanks, though! cheers! :

well, different people have different methods to know if they are in love..but for me let us see.. 1) i cant think of anything but him 2) i always get excited each time i see him, glance at him or talking with him 3) i like to talk with him for hours 4) i think time passes by so swiftly when im with him 5) a mere touch of our fingertips makes me sleepless at night thinking about that incident 6) i feel protective of him

When you are in love it is as if you have your best most trusted friend at your side and you feel physically atteracted to them.Love is shared feeling between two people who have a vested interest in one anothers happines. How do you know? If:the object of your affections makes you feel special and good about yourself; nothing makes you feel good as when you and your partener (he/she)are together;you are more yourself when with you partener than you are with anybody else! :) ;)

When you cant get him / her out of your mind. When all you want to do is to talk about him, and you want to be with him all the time. when your heart beats very fast when with him. can't eat, cant concentrate.. make the first move and let the guy / gal know!

I have experienced this one when I and my friend ate together in a local restaurant. My friend mentioned the name of the girl I liked and all of the sudden I shivered. I did not know what to do. I lost my appetite.

It's hard to describe and sometimes you don't realize it till very late. it's like when suddenly all ur attention stops on this one single person and ur whole world starts to revolve around him or her and everything even the tiniest most insignificant thing about that person becoms more valuable than all the riches in the world to you. Everything bad or dis likable abt that person becomes non existent to u and the good things becom magnified.

You know when you're in love when you don't know you're in love yet you know you're in love. It is very confusing. You feel different and definitely more happier when you're with your significant other and/or thinking about that person. You see, love isn't a word that could be concretely defined too, and neither are feelings, so when you combine those two together, you get the most hardest phrase to describe ("in love"). It's more of a instinct rather than a fact. But there's definitely a lot of confusion at first...

Trust me! You'll know! It is just so much different than any other thing you've ever experienced. Your mind will be occupied at every moment of the day and night with the thoughts of this person. You will want to be with that person on every opportunity you get. You will feel a little strange and weird around this person- but that is exactly where you want to be always. Your dreams and daydreams are of none other than this person. You tell your best friends about this person on every opportunity you get. And your heart will either skip a beat- or speed up some when you stare into their eyes. And words may not find their way out when you attempt to speak when facing them eye to eye. So, are you in love?

this is something that only you will know and nobodyelse, every person has different way of knowing that they are in love. but one thing is common when you are in love everything stopped the world stopped and as if you and that person you are in love are the only people on the world. this is something that is worth experiencing. you will never know will it strikes, when will cupid strike his arrow and hit you so hard that you will indeed fall in love so darn hard, but never the less love doesnt know any boundaries and limitations, when you do fall in love you will feel it right from the start and you will feel and see the dramatic hange in your behavioor and in your pesrsona.
