i started dating this guy a little over a month ago. we met because he's friends of a friend. he was on my friend's live journal page and i read his bio, thought it was neat and friended him. we'd talked over live journal for a good bit of time before we actually met, which was in january. we started dating in february. we really click, lotsof stuff in common, same sort of sense of humor etc... anyway, i'm already sort of getting these love type feelings for him. don't know if it's love, or maybe i'm just scared to say it cause we've only really known each other for such a short time.or i'm just infatuated.or, i'm scared he doesn't feel the same way back.anyway, what have you're experiences been with falling in love?

Love is not one of those things that you should be in a hurry to admit and a little over a month is a hurry. It may chase some guys away, they may not take you seriously, or they may just get stupid and try to use your declaration as a way to get you to prove something. If you love me you would blah, blah, blah. To which I would shamelessly reply, Oh well, I guess I didn't love you as much as I thought I did. Start off by telling him that you like him, then, that you really like him a lot. See how he reacts. One of the ways that I know that I am starting to have feelings for a guy is when I think about him all the time and always manage to find a way to bring him up in conversation, no matter what the subject is. I think, when you are really in love, you wont have to ask, you'll just know.

oh, he knows i like him a lot. he's said as much about me as well. and we've said stuff like we miss each other when we can't see each other, cause he lives out of town. and believe me i have no intention of dropping the l word anytime soon. i did that with my last relationship and it kinda blew up in my face when i discovered, as you said, i didn't love him as much as i thought i did.

When thinking of him makes you smile. When u can not imagine your life without him. When looking at him makes you feel all warm and bubbly inside - That is when I know that it is love..

Yes ,i've alredy experienced this,though i'm only 18.these things come naturally...It's not necessary to feel that you are in love from the first time you've mat that person(''love at first sight'')...it can as well start to appear after tou get to know that person.I think it's really important that you2 have a lot in commo! This is the key to a successfull relationship...! So,good luck!...
