you know you have strong feelings for someone, you know you like them alot. but to what point do you realize your in love with them?
you can love someone without being "in" love with them, what's the difference?
so how do you know? how do you know that you love or don't love someone and its just a strong connection/feeling?
and what does it take to love someone? do you have to know them for a long time? do you believe in love at first site? first moment you say "hi"?
i'm a confused messed
Love is a decision - a determination of the will to endeavor toward what is in another's best interests rather than one's own.
ReplyDeleteIt is regularly confused with "like", "lust", "infatuation", "attraction", "what I think maybe I ought to feel" and/or social pressure. Love is harder than those other things, but much better.

i wanna know how to decipher what im' feeling. what is this feeling? i think about him i get sick to my stomach, not in a bad way in an "excited too much adrenaline" way, my stomach gets all butterflies and does flipflops. and when he finally kissed me, it was like heaven had opened up before me.
ReplyDeletewhen we're not talking i feel like thier is something missing.
i didnt want to feel this. i wasn't even looking for it. i was blind-sided! one moment we're friends and i care about him alot and then i can't seem to get enough of him.
That sounds like it is combination of "like" and "infatuation". Not that this state does not lead to love (it is often how love starts), but it is not love (yet). If he is operating in the same mode, it could end up there - it this isn't it. Good luck though (this is one of the most fun phases).
