How do you know when you are in love?

yes i have sed i loved guys i have dated in the past but i never loved them the way i love my bf im with now...it seems and feels rite since i been with him...he has made my life so good..he treats me good...he has respect for me and my family even for the ppl he dnt like as well...now i havent met his mom n all yet but i hope i do soon im just scared cuz i have never met one of my bf's parents b4 cuz it was neva a strong relationship like the one im in now...i lov e him and i know its rite..

Yes I did. I had several relationship with guys (one at a time of course) before my husband and I realized that My first real love is my husband. So is why I married him. I can say I was in love with him when I realized that I do not want to hurt him in anyway. Hurting him means hurting myself too. When he is sad, I am sad also. If I will do something bad to him, my conscience will bother me. So maybe, if your conscience bothers you, then you will not pursue your bad move. Pity is not love either. Some would say that they will not leave their boyfriend because they pity them. If you do not love a person, tell him, it is for his own good. He might met somebody who is deserving of his love more than you do.

If you are in love,then you loose full concentration in your work and some times behave totally different.

I have fallen in and out of love several times before my marriage. I knew I was in love because I felt it in my heart and wanted to be with that person all of the time. I missed them very much when they were away also.

First of all, you must know the difference between want and need. Want is fleeting, temporary while need is the opposite. If you love someone, ask your self do I want that person or do I need that person. Love driven by want is most likely to be physical attraction i.e. this could be his physical features or financial capabilities. Love driven by need on the other hand transcends the physical or material level. We can call it sacred or divine love.
