how can you tell?

wouldn't it be nice if somebody would write a book about it "how can you know if you are in love"? But there is no simple answer. Everybody has to figure this out for themselves.

I agree with the first post... Love isn't something you can define or stamp a meaning on. I think it differs for different people. I mean, some people think infatuation and love are the same thing (I don't). I think when you first have a crush, there is definitely a connection there. But love is something deeper that can stand the test of time. I'm not any kind of expert... lol... but my personal opinion is to take it slow and see what happens. It just might be love; but I think only time can tell, and only YOU can find out if it is or not. If you get past the "honeymoon stage" or "crush" stage and you still want that person in your life and feel a soulful connection, I think you have some luv going on. :o)

Do you think about them constantly? When you think about going some where or doing something do you wish that person was with you? Do you just melt when you see them and a smile creeps across your face unknowingly? Do you have a strong desire to touch them and be close to them? If you answered yes to all of the above, it just might be love.

if you feel little butterflies clapping in your stomach when you kiss him, you are in love, it is this simple.
