How do you know if you're in love?

If you have feelings for this person again after these years, you must first be sure that he has not changed a lot over the years. If not, it might be that he has entered into your life again for the right reason.

Give yourself enough time to cool down from this "I've just been in bad relationships in the past" and also this "we liked each other years ago" When your mind is clear you will know if you are falling for him or not. I believe in love relationships, only heart can tell the truth, and your heart can tell you if you let it free from burden from the past. sry for my bad english :)

I have been there, done that and said that also. I think you actually do want to love someone and be loved. I think you should at least give it a chance and see where it goes.

hi coffeeshot you just c annot wait to see him again , and you dont even care about food as you are just thinking of him and his smile, his laugh the twinkle in his eyes,you want to be with him,not let him get away from you and you want things to go well for him all the time.Sounds like you could be in love give it some time and do not let past relationships get in the way ,.good luck and happy falling in love

'Love' is a childish thing to think/speak about. That is, thinking/speaking is what you do when you're afraid to take on the feeling/doing. The feeling you're looking for is the feeling you have when you slide the jigsaw-puzzle piece firmly into place with the surrounding construction. Whether you think that means you need some physical placement to happen or you think it means you need some social esteem, you're right. I can't tell you how to get the first, but to get the second (social esteem) all I can say is 'do unto others as they ought to do unto you.'

There are a couple of things to think about: You liked this person in the past,so first find out if he is still the same person, and take it slowly,Then it will be easier to figure it out if it is love,infatuation,of just love for the idea of being in love! If the attraction is there give it a chance,as somebody smart said once "is better to have loved and lost ,than to have never loved at all" If you give up on love,you might just miss the chance for THE love. I wish you good luck,might this be the one! you are still young, and you will find your soulmate,if your heart and mind are open for it.

My husband and I knew we were in love, when all kinds of $h!t happened in our lives, on both sides, and we not only stuck together, but we wanted to stick together. They say crisis either brings you together, or blows you apart. We were meant to be together, and now have been married almost four years.

LOL... Love at first sight is a myth. You cannot be in love with someone in one week. Everybody confuse love with lust. Love is something which develop through a long relationship. Let me put it this way. If you are prepare to take a bullet and die in order to save his life... you are in love. But the question still remain... will he take a bullet to save your life? By all means, give it a go, have a roll in the hay and give it a go. Have fun. That's what life is about. But stop with the expectations. Just because you have a relationship with someone does not mean he has to marry you. If you are waiting for the sure thing to come along, you will be waiting a long time or end up with the wrong person. It is far safer these days to have a relationship without commitment. If it works, you get married. If it don't, you get out and try again. And being in a relationship, or even getting married does not mean that you have to lose your independance these days. It only means that you cannot be unfaithfull by sleeping around.

Hun, you can still be an independent woman and be in love and marry. IF your spouse is willing to have you that way, than he's WORTH it. Love bites, and when it has bitten, its hard to turn around and say - "no, I'm not going there..." I feel in love, I still love the guy, I KNOW he's not the marring kind, but it doesn't change the fact that I know there's one out there I could marry, if he were into that... Meanwhile, decide if you are both in the same place/direction and how he feels about a powerful, independent woman as a wife.

If you dont know you must not be in love. You have to know a person very well and love aspects of that persons personality.

My advice is to become friend and take it very slowly. If it happens, it happens. the main thing is to become friends....then better friends. Don't be like my neighbor and like anybody at all, just because she doesn't 'want to be alone'. The latest guy I hear about grows organic weed. Yes, I am serious. God!!! Good luck. This is just my 2 cents worth.

Rights to live a happy must submit a few sacrifices in order to receive a lot of happiness I think you should do what you feel and what comes from your heart Do not forget yourself for someone else find happiness. Try to find happiness yourself and you find what makes you happy. Anxiety or tendon of the impact on the relationship will not last, just after take time and enjoy the ending and all

Try to trust your feelings, go for what you think makes you happy. The feelings of being in love was greet it well change your idea about life. Feel free to try, their nothing to be afraid if your really in love to him. Don't afraid to trust again.

I think.. u should be forget all past life.. dont be afraid.. welcome every new moments..

Love is hard. I had been attracted to this man for over four years before he asked me out. Leading up to our getting together, we had been flirting hot and heavy for a number of months. Then he asked me out but because my marriage was breaking up, we had to wait a little longer. It was different than any other relationship I'd ever been in, although when I first got involved I didn't plan for it to last more than 6 months max. Instead I fell in love, and we were together nearly seven years--I just don't know how he felt about me. He walked away nearly six months ago... I was so badly hurt by my last two relationships that I'm afraid to fall in love ever again. The relationship I'm in now has potential but a lot has to change. I feel bad because I know in my heart that I prolly will never be 'in love' with my current guy but I'm still heart sore about the last guy walking out on me without a word. I think that you're also scared to fall in love but it sounds as if you have stronger feelings than you're comfortable with at this time. Take it slowly--I wish you luck!

How do you know when you're really in love? That's a hard hard question to answer but all I can tell you is this, you just know. You just know when you see or meet that special person in your life. The kind of person that makes you smile, makes you want to be around them, makes conversation interesting, and a whole lot of other things. It's not just about chemistry but yes, chemistry does play a big role. Once you meet that special person, you'll know. As for this guy you're talking about, take it one day at a time. No need to rush into it for you have all the time in the world to get to know him and he you. While at it, have fun with it! Share, talk, play around and see where it goes!

make sure he is not seeing anyone and take a shot to ask him out. never try never know! good luck ,sis!

Attraction/ infactuation is the beginning of Love sometimes, not always. First thing you need to figure out is it just you like the guy or you like him so much to spend your rest of life with. When i say just liking someone is - there are conditions or reasons to like him. And when you like someone so much, you just accept everything, their strenghts, weaknesses; good habits, bad habits; their likes, dislikes; their past. Falling for someone is really a good experience, but at the same time take time understand the person very well before you come to a conclusion. Because this is the person you want to live with all your life. Hope this helps you. Good Luck.

i don't know if you are the kind of being easily interested in someone and then chase after him.Then this feeling may not be real,i think maybe you should calm down and divert your attention to other things and stop focus on him,or you might as while ask him out and have some chat to make you certain your feeling on him.

Falling in love is when you feel that you can not keep away from the other person. I am not saying that the feeling stays forever. Gosh, I fell in love so many times in my lifetime, but what I can say is this... it is such a wonderful feeling of happiness, bitterness, bliss and heartache all at the same time...
