Those are the signs that the person you're with is your true love..
I don't know what to think.. I have all of those feelings about Sean and I'm so happy but theres three problems...
Number one I can't go out with him because of age differences which makes it really difficult, number two it wouldn't be the first time i've "fallen in love", number three I really do like him but I don't want to make myself attatched and say that i'm in love with him or that I love him because it's not like we're going to end up together in the future. (We might, but I highly doubt it!) And I know he likes me too but there's not really anything we can do to stay together. It's really hurting me to have to "break up with him" but I guess it'll be okay because we can still be friends..
