What is the difference between "having a crush" on somone and falling in love?
You think you're falling in love. You're really attracted to a certain person. But this happened before, and it was jsut a "crush." How can you tell if it's real this time? Here's what some say:
If you're in love, ...
- you'll find yourself talking to or telephoning the person for no reason. (You might pretend there's a reason, but often there's not.)
-you'll find yourself bringing this person into conversation. ("When I was in MExico -," a friend begins. You interrupted with, "My boyfriend made a great Mexican dinner last week.")
-you might suddenly be interested in things you used to avoid. "When a woman asks me to tell her all about footaball, I know she's fallen in love," said a TV sports announcer.)
OK, so you've fallen in love. But falling in love is one thing, and staying in love is another. How can you tell, as time passes, that you're still in love? If you stay in love, your relationship will change. You might not talk as much about the person you are in love with. You migh not always call him or her so often. But this person will nevertheless become more and more important in your life.
You'll find that you can be yorself with this person. When you first fell in love, you were probably afraid to admit certain things about yourself. But now you can be totally honest. You can trust him or her to accept you jsut as you are. FAlling in love is great - staying in love is even better!

I am very much in love. I find myself telling my boyfriend things that not even my best friend knows. He knows pretty much all of my deep dark secrets and I am not worried about it. I am interested in the things he likes when I used to be against some of it (hunting). We spend hours on the phone talking or all day texting each other. So glad I have unlimited texting LOL.

I don't really know if what I feel is love. But I feel that being with that person is great. We can get along well and that person is very good person for me. I don't know if I blush or do anything that you said. But I really really want to be with that person.

When someone lightens your day, when dark turned light, when heavy becomes lighter
when smiles cant take off your face.......those are the signs I can say a person is truly in love. I am in love when i look at life as full of surprises....When i love, i really love! i can't see anyone except him and me.......i cant feel anything except our hearts beating!

Being in love is like nothing you feel... You cant wait til the next time you hear the persons voice, You miss him/her when they leave. You want to call him/her just to hear there voice. You feel like you cant wait to see him/her, you just want to be with him/her all the time. You love the little things he/she does. You smile whenever he/she walk into a room. No matter what he/she do you cant stay mad at him/her.
