When do you know you're in love?

I am 26 and I've never been in love romantically. Almost all of my friends are married now and are starting their own family. On my part, however, I still can't picture myself doing the same time. It makes me wonder sometimes...how does it feels like to be in love? How will you know that that "someone" is the person you want to spend your life with?

Love cannot be explained, it is just something you Feel. But I'll try. For me, it's when I can see him walking my way and my heart starts to pound and my palms start to sweat. When I forget my own name and every other intelligent thought when someone mentions his name. When I can smell his cologne and feel those butterflies starting in my stomach. When he looks in my eyes and I feel and see the same love I feel smiling back at me. When he holds my hand and I want to dance. His kisses set my heart on fire and make me weak in the knees with desire. When I can't remember my life before him and can't picture it without him. That is Love. Good Luck :) :)

Yes I am. I have been with my soulmate now for almost 10 years. We got married when I was 15 and everyone said it wouldn't last. We now have 3 amazing children and we are still so much in love. I don't really know how else to explain it. I will tell you that the books don't do it justice. Once you feel it, you Will Know it!! Best of luck to you. :) :)

There is a big difference between being in love as in "a crush" or the type of love that grows over the years when you are together. I've had 3 boyfriends in my life and with my current boyfriend I experienced what it feels like to be in love. I got the actual butterflies in my stomache (at first I thought I was going to be sick! lol!) and all of that. The giggling, feeling excited whenever that person is near. This passes over the years and it takes place for a stronger emotional band. You know each other through and through and you can depends on each other. I don't feel giggly anymore but I feel spiritually connected. I can tell him everything and nothing is more suiting than being by his side. He is my partner, soulmate and best friend. These are all pretty lame expressions, I know, but it is the best way I can desribe what love feels like. It most of the time comes along when you least expect it. Me and my boyfriend have been together for allmost 6 years now, upcoming august.

Thank you so much for denoting me best response. I sincerely hope that my reply has been somewhat of use for you. It is a hard topic to describe as it has so much emotional and sentimental value. I am sure that in time you will experience it and then you will experience what a lot of people know by heart but aren't able to catch on paper in words. Happy mylotting.

That is a hard question. I don't think you can really describe love and how you know you are in love. It is just something that you know without a doubt and you will not be able to describe it our explain how you feel.

Well only you can answer that. Each person has his/her own taste. What is lovable to me may not be lovable to you. What I find appealing may not be appealing to you. Now if you find a man that you feel so attracted and would always think of him and would also hope he is your man then that's it. I just hope that man also feels the same way to you. If so, then that will be the start of a beautiful romance.

yes, i know that the whole thing has something to do with my emotions...maybe I am expecting so much from the other person that when opportunity knocks, I won't notice it

Don't worry, you will feel it ones you met him. No need for you to think about it, it will be your instinct that will tell you if you are already in love. Don't rush things, it will come at your unexpected time.
