    Sounds like the feeling is mutual.
    If you truly know you want this then get scared together as long as its mutual :)

    I like that word Krs, MUTUAL Love is a journey that two people take for the rest of their lives going over valleys and hills working together to keep going. Working together to build a mutual place to raise kids and be comfortable and above all to enjoy, and help, and support, to cry, and suffer together. To share, to honor, to respect, Giving 100% and getting 100%, to experience everything together. Love grows over time and space. Learning never stops, Communication and listening and accepting and caring, are the foundation for a strong relationship that can withstand all the storms of life. Honesty is the glue that keeps the bond strong. No, its not always pretty, sometimes it ain't no fun, But its always challenging, and when you have it your happy. Both of you are.

    As Wildcat said, love is often confused with lust, infatuation etc, Love is when after time has passed you still get a warm feeling when you see him. Love is when you can sit comfortably together in silence and have a good time. It is when you respect, trust and like him for what he is and the feeling is mutual. Love is when no matter where you are with him, you feel like you are home.

    Enough said. Just read tals great post over and over.
    Everyone should read that before they decide to marry and see if that's the way they feel.
    At least now after reading that I know I have loved.
    Many that come here have not. They have only lusted.
    Awesome Tal!!

    Every time I've asked friends what love is I usually get the same response... "It's different for everyone." Personally, I like the answers on here much much better. They are concrete and from people who have experienced love.

    I would also like to add my two cents. A few people have mentioned that love has to be mutual, and when its only one person then it's infatuation. I'm going to have to disagree. I think that one person can be in love with another even if the feelings, for whatever reason, are not returned. However, the type of love that is stronger then anything that can be imagined, the love that truly conquers all, is the love that is mutual.

    Just my two cents.

    I think what was meant to say is that love can be confused with Lust and Infatuation. Of course someone can love even if its not returned. But what we are trying to say is that if the Love is mutual then the relationship is stronger!

    Do things change after you admit you love someone?

    Yes, I think I felt a sense of relief since it was a mutual declaration. And we were more free to express all our feelings more deeply, with less self consciousness, less concern.

    Did it ever kind of fade away?

    Silly it may sound, but Love is when you KNOW it is Love. If you're still questioning it, then its not yet.

    True love is purely unconditional.

    Depends when you admit it. I persnal feel love ca not happen for 6 months or a year. People make mistakes when they feel love - it's infatuation, lust, smitten.

    I know several people WHO THOUGHT thye were in love - got married after 9 months... only to realize they were not in love after marri9age and actually married some screwed up monster.

    Love is one of the pure mysteries of life. It's both a curse and a gift.
