I know that I love my boyfriend because I feel as though I need to be with him all of the time, and I just know that I would do anything for him if he needed me to. Do you love anyone? How are you sure that what you're feeling for them is love, and you're not mixing it up with any other emotion?

You just know sweetie. The feelings you have for him is so much different from what you ever felt before. I know exactly what you feel as i will do anything and everything for my love. To be loved and respected is feelings that come only once in a while. TATA.

No your not beginning to turn cold-hearted. You just have to find that love that will really knock you off your feet. It will come to you. Then you can tell me about it, okay.

Hello GemmaR. I don't know. probably it's one of those feelings that i haven't really felt for a long time. but i don't feel it now. most likely, i feel the loneliness instead, same old sad depressed pain.

In a romantic way, I love my husband and I've loved him for almost nine years now. I know that what we share is love because everything in our lives is intermingled. In addition to that, in a non-romantic way I love my immediate family and also some of my friends. The way that I know that I love them is that I am willing to make sacrifices of myself for the betterment of them. This is a great thing to have in your life and when you have it there is really no way to describe what you feel, you just know that it is love.

Actually sweetie, no feelings are static. With every new thing that you learn, you revise your stand, and you find new ways to love. So the love you feel at your age is going to be considerably different from the love you feel when you are in your naughty forties, or beyond. :) So enjoy while it lasts. Where is the need to analyze it? :)

well me too im in love :( but is so complicated :( i started to be more close to him when i liked one guy and i was heartbroken :( this guy said he loves me and like if i wanted be with him but i said i love this guy still so couldnt but when i forgot him i would tell him. so after awhile i forgot that other guy completely bcs he kept on hurting me and this one, my friend, he sang for me songs saying he loves me in front of his clients. even we live far i know he did it bcs while we talked i always listened voices of people asking him things sometimes and he had to say for me to wait a bit^^ he works in a netcafe. he sang to me in front of them, also he said he put my pic in background of all computers and people said im pretty ahah i know this is true bcs he said this to me two times and first time was long ago than the second time :) also he said his family knew he loved me :) then i said like i love him too but we continued as friends and he asked me to wait him :) after awhile he started to act different with me not caring as much as before and we talked and he said he loves other girl :( he said remember when i told you about this girl? bcs he said before he met a girl and some guys beat him bcs of her and i asked him what happened and he said like he was talking with her only. anyway i didnt take this as a big thing bcs he said he was beaten but he didnt say he loved the girl. so it was after it that he continued singing to me, and said that about his family and said for me to wait him. so after this when he said remember that girl? i love her. i was in schock :( bcs i said so all you said to me wasnt true? he said he loves me but we are so far and he met her after meet me. he said he is poor and cant come to my country meet me. he even wanted leave his job to forget that girl bcs he says she has many bfs. i just felt like a stupid girl always believing everything guys say :( i know i love him bcs even after this i still want talk with him :( we shared so much and i really felt he loved me and i know he feels something for me but i dont know anything anymore. just today he said something like he was jealous of me being with other guy but i dont know what to think anymore. anyway even after all this i continue seeing him as guy i care the most right now :(

I am very sure that I have fell in love with her ,cause i miss her so much and feel lonely when she is no longer around. So, I think when you miss someone deeply,you have already fell in love with him(her).

Your heart will always let you know when you love someone. When all you can do is think about a certain someone, it is love. When you wait anxiously by the telephone for them to call, it is love. When you can't eat or sleep because of a special someone I would say that you love them.

Hello GemmaR! I'm still love my husband after 15 years(lol...when passed all these years?)and he loves me too.For me love means more emotions not only love:means trust(because love without trust is nothing),means need each other,means friendship too,means talking and laughing together about everything,means working together in our house,helping each other every time,joking,crying,smiling... If you can feel all these emotions with a sinlgle men,that means you love him! All the best and happy lotting!

You know you love someone when you care for them and would like to see them happy. You will definitely miss the person when he/she is not around. If the person get hurts or injured, you will fell the pain.... love makes you do crazy things you never thought you will do before :D
