Are you in love?

I was wondering if I am in real love or not. Can you tell me how can I assure myself that I am in love? I talk on phone everyday. I like the call sometimes but I don't like when I am busy. I sometimes think that I am lucky to find the girl, then other times I think that I would have better alone. What is this kind of feeling? Have you ever had such feelings. I know I ask a lot of questions..lol I am a bunch of questions. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Search within yourself. Sometimes love can be masked by lust, admiration,pity, desire to help or care etc. In my case I knew I love him when I set my eyes on him and my heart beats so fast that I can not breath at all. It is like you can not live without him. He makes you happy and contented. Try to seclude yourself for a while and contemplate on what you are really feeling or thinking. No one can tell you if you are really in love except for yourself.

I like your response. I think it is ok to be masked with lust, admiration, pity or desire if it is both ways. These are also the part of a relationship, but there is the other basic thing in love that is honesty. I think you should be honest with yourself and your partner. I don't like to fake my feelings and I don't like to be faked by other. I am confused in my relation because I am not sure of my feelings that is why I posted the topic here. I wish you good luck in your relationship. Thank you and have a nice day/night.:)

I think you're the only one who can answer your question. It's a different feeling for everyone. Me, I know I was in love with my ex-boyfriend when I was able to tell him that I love him. I don't really use those three words unless I mean them. So when I do, and when I feel comfortable saying them, I know that I really love that person.

Yes, I agree with you. Sometimes people use those three words too much that they lose their meaning. It's like when you hear it from someone who just tosses it around so casually, it doesn't really mean that much anymore.

I don't say the words if I don't mean them, I think it is important to get the real feel of the love before you say it. Thank you for your share.

Well I think maybe you are sort of inbetween right now because when you love someone it doesn't matter when they call you or what time it is you love hearing from them. If you are having second thoughts it's only natural but maybe you found someone who is very sweet and a good person but maybe for you she is not the one. Take some time to get to know each other some more and make sure that you can see yourself growing old with her and not getting frustrated when she calls or maybe thinking you would rather be alone. If you see all you think of is her and that you don't think of being alone anymore than yes you are in love but sometimes if you have second thoughts it is for a good reason, just take your time and make sure it is what you want not what you think you need and most of all make sure you are happy.

Hello sanjay, Its hard to define love for it has many meaning. Don't analyze love 'coz it will lead you to confusion. Don't think too much about in love for it will just cause you wondering.For True love will knock at your heart unconsciously which you cant help yourself from denying doing things for your love one. This is the mystery of love. Each one of us has each unique of identifying whether were in love or just fascinated and making fond to someone or just in love to the word love. Do not make pressures unto yourself instead take time to enjoy your life and enjoy it with the one you love. Be happy !!!!

hello there my friend heres my side of thought. this is in accordance to my experience. eleven years ago I have a girlfriend. were going cold on our relationship at that time and I have my bestfriend. shes nice to me. she even advices me on how to save our relationship but we still broke up, now to cut the long story short, lets go to the time when I am experiencing like you do to know if you are in love or not... I am falling in love with my bestfriend and I dont know If it s right or not. at the end I have realize that I love her by thinking to have my dream came true with her. the point is, Im in love if the purpose is to be happy with her with some positive things and not just to be with her just to tell others that I have a girlfriend. actually were 10 years old on the relationship now. that my side my friend. I hope with my experience it gives you a big idea on how to know if your in love or not. take care my friend. love her for a longlasting relationship.

You yourself are the only one that can answer that question. People think of love in different ways. Have you played scenarios in your head about being together forever or something alike in that way. People tend to grow on other people. Can you accept this persons flaws, and take the good and bad? That is for you to answer and only you. I wish you good luck with that. I have been in love twice. I had that feeling that "I can't live without you and I miss you when you are here and when you are gone and I look forward to the next phone call." I found that I could survive without them but Always looked forward to the next meeting. Good luck to you.

I am just wondering how can I have the answer when I am the one who asked the question. You are making me crazy. Do you really think that I can answer it by myself? I know that you will say it again that only I can answer. Fine! Let me think.

simple but question but difficult to answer. being in love is subjective term..lol. anyway, maybe what you experience is just part of being in a relationship and a good friendship, what you had is just normal emotion that it's not all the time we want to be with someone.Just enjoy the moment that you have it.=)

Hi sanjay, whether you are loving her or not that your heart knows, ask yourself, sometimes good or best friendship also will have such feelings, but there is lot of difference is there in emotional feelings. What type you have you have to decide that. Have a nice day.

Hello Jotomy, I think I am in love but it is difficult sometimes to decide. I think it is the time span that I have spent with the girl which makes me feel attached to her. I will make my decision but I don't know what it will be.. lol. Thank you and have a nice day ahead. :)

I think it is good to feel the love. You don't have to be very much selective in finding your first love, just let yourself fall in it. I don't know if there is any technique to make your self fall in love because it happens by itself. I wish you good luck:):):).

You haven't found the real self,freeing oneself,efforts to find true love
