How you know when you're in love...
I found this stuff on a website... thought it was interesting.
I've always wondered when you know you are in love with somebody... so... here is what some people had to say...
"I know I'm in love when I feel like the one I'm with was made for me by the Divine itself. They're designed to be your other half and you question everything in your life that has every happened up until the point you meet them and everything in your life changes. Your every sense is heightened as if you're intoxicated with this feeling of total bliss! You'll know when it's real."
Cathy, Moorpark, Calif.
"You know you're in love when there is no hesitation in expressing yourself. When you feel you can share anything and everything. When you are not anxious about making a commitment. Mostly, you don't feel the need to look around for greener pasture. You don't think that maybe the next man you meet may be better. You are willing to check this relationship out...see where it goes. A crush or an infatuation doesn't last long -- it's not satisfying and doesn't usually turn into a long-term relationship."
Michael, Sacramento, Calif.
"It's hard to describe being in love; you simply know it when you feel it. A crush is a romantic bliss state where the person does no wrong. Infatuation is where there is no care about the big picture and your enjoying the hot sensation of the moment like a fast-burning candle. Being in love is like an anchor of reason and romance living in balance. Unlike a crush or infatuation, love is comforting as it settles from the spiking highs and lows. Love is a condition of the heart and mind. Love is understanding the "why" behind your acceptance. Love is warm."
Anny, Tempe, Arizona
"I know I'm in love when I feel an overwhelming sense of complete surrender and awe for another person and a feeling of completeness when we're together -- and incompleteness when we're apart. Real love can only be achieved through the test of time and mutually getting to know each other. I don't think real love is ever a one-way street. A crush or infatuation is a feeling of desire for a person based on my fantasy of what could be, should be, or might be, but not necessarily what is."
Mike, Virginia Beach, Virginia
"How do I know when I'm in love? When no sacrifice is too big, no distance is too great. When every time I think of her, I feel happier than the moment before. When I see her in everything I do and everywhere I am. When her love in return wraps me like a warm blanket. Then I know. A crush doesn't come close. "
