haha symptons of being in love.. how cute ;D
well.. if you feel nervous being around that person and you get all tingly that's probably a symptom
or you see him as a more special person then everyone else.. it's kinda like common sense there aren't really symptoms of being in love o_o

[yoshiba]

^^ Not true. If that's called love, then you have just downgraded the meaning of love by tenfold. What you described is closer to lust.
END.

Everyone has their own opinion of being in love there is no right or wrong meaning but if you say it's lust then it's lust. I was just thinking of it in my own ways.

[blueokami]

Symptoms:
- you put their needs first, always
- you want to always live with them
- you want to have a future with them
- even if they reject you, you still want the best for them always

other symptoms:
- lots of sighing
- they're always on your mind
- missing them when they're not around

Pretty much.

[myxo]

Your IQ drops.


Well, at least mine does. Wait a sec, I think that's infatuation. heh.

Really, I think love is just a figment of my imagination. I don't think I have ever been in love. It felt like love, but then it also felt like two kids running around playing with the idea of being in love.

[GazelMa]

Hmmm... to me...

Being in love:
- Caring about their well-being.
- Caring about their happiness, putting theirs before yours.
- Doing anything you can to make them happy.
- Somehow, you're sad when they're sad.
- Can't stop thinking about them, no matter how much you try.
- You somehow do something and you end up thinking about them.
- Seeing them happy makes you happy.
- You're not so selfish around them.


... minds blank. But being all giddy and butterfly-stomach symptoms around them doesn't fit as love to me, imo.

[terrorist]

not being able to sleep because he said something sweet to you.

You'll already know if you're in love or not, unless you haven't hit puberty or something.

I like this article: http://www.oregoncounseling.org/ArticlesPa...maticLoveMC.htm

here's what love is and what isn't

". To love someone, and for that love to endure, requires the ability to see that person with clarity. For example, we have all seen how some people will idealize or glamorize their partners. They exaggerate their good qualities, and they ignore and avoid considering significant differences and potential problems. Why do they do this? Many reasons, but mostly because they need to see the person in this idealized way. People can fall in love with the idea of a person who doesn’t really exist and then hope the relationship will endure.

Most people never learn how to sustain a loving relationship. The reason is simple. Nobody showed them. The mere fact that a man and woman feel love toward each other does not guarantee they will be able to create a joyful and rewarding life. Love does not automatically teach a person communication skills. Love does not teach a person how to resolve a conflict. Love does not teach people how to weave their love into the rest of their life.

..........

They begin to see the other person more like they truly are and not what they needed them to be. They usually begin to find faults in others and they may become jealous, angry, bitter, sarcastic or cynical. Many will separate or remain together in misery. They will often have children and try to raise a family in an effort to revive the relationship or to feel better. Many will have an affair. When they separate or divorce, some will get involved in another relationship too quickly. They try to find some way to ease the pain. They idealize this new person in their life and the cycle starts over. They say to themselves, "I'll never be hurt like that again. "


my fav line
"blind love may help numb or settle anxiety, but it will not answer our hunger to be seen and understood"

======

bottom line:
romantic love is when you make-believe someone is your love, a potential source of happiness.
to actually love is when you accept someone. it requires curiosity, patience, and seeing people for whot hey truly are and it takes time.

[gisbiz]

when you're hungry as heck, but manage to offer him your lunch.

[WildSevenGirl]

1. You spend all your time thinking about him.
2. You would do anything just to see/talk/etc. him.
3. Every moment just seeing/talking/etc. is a moment of your heaven.
4. Butterflies/nervousness whenever you're around him.
5. Pounding heart.

Adn there are lots more. xD

I think too many people confuse like with love.

The main difference is with like, you can like someone a lot or you can like someone a little. There's varying degress of it. Liking someone is based of emotion.
You can't love someone a lot or love someone a little... It's either you love someone or you don't.
It doesn't depend on your mood, your emotional state, what he/she's wearing or doing for you...
Love isn't some kind of illness where you can detect the early stages.

Don't take love so lightly, because to understand it and reap the rewards of it, you have to take responsibility for it. It can make you the happiest person in the world, but also drag you through the worst moments in life. Do you think you're ready for love? If you think you are, you're probably not... because it's a state of being that's so personal and profound that there's nothing in this world you can do to prepare yourself.

But... what do I know? I know I've never been

Very true (^_^)v ~

I also think one is deeply in love . . .

When you love someone not just for their strengths but also their weaknesses.

[yuwing]

true but it could also mean that you're a selfless individual (e.g, Jesus), which in a sense is "love", but not the romantic love that is relevant to the topic.
