[Refined]

A very simple question.
How do you know if you're in Love?

[Eileen G]

When the world always seems a little bit better when that person is there.

When you like yourself a little more because of how that person sees you.

When just knowing that the other person is there, means you can solve your problems on your own.

When thinking about them makes your tummy do a little flip. And you don't worry about it.

[I wish]

You wouldn't need to ask if you were in love.

[redhed35]

When thinking about them it means 'home',the place where you can be yourself,where you can be crazy,smart and all that you are.

And what 'eileen' and 'i wish' said.

[Kitkat22]

Where you don't have to wear make up and he still calls you gorgeous.

When you can drive a hundred miles listening to music and you feel comfortable with the silence.

When your heart is hurting and he doesn't say a word just brings you the Kleenex and holds you.

[Homegirl 50]

When that persons concerns become yours, when he can make you smile even when you might be angry, when that person is the last thought before you go to sleep and the first when you wake up.
All of these things can be signs you are in love or infatuated, but after a span of time, when the sparks start to fade, those feelings are still there.
When who he is means more than what he looks like.

[Kitkat22]

When he rubs your feet after you wear 3 inch heels.

When he gives you the newspaper before he reads it.

When you wear his favorite LSU T shirt and spill bleach on it and he says... "I'll buy another one"

[Alty]

No one can tell you. It's different for every person. There's no feeling, no punch in the gut, nausea, twinkle in your toes, that signals that you're in love. You just know.

So, if you have to ask, you're not in love.

[Kitkat22]

When you have a horrible nightmare that he's gone and you wake up and hug him so tightly he can hardly breathe.

When you look at him and still feel a tingle go through your body.

When he has to have test done for his heart and you spend the days praying and wondering what you would do without him.

How you cry with joy when everything is fine.

I have to laugh and then share this.

The part about having a horrible nightmare. Well, when R and I were dating, I was at his house, we were watching a movie and I fell asleep.

Well I dreamed that he had cheated on me.

He woke me up, and I woke up swinging, swearing, telling him I never wanted to see him again because he was a cheating bastard.

The poor guy just stared at me like I had lost my mind.

The dream felt so real.

Even after I realized it was just a dream, it was really hard not to stay mad. ;)

LOL... I would have croaked if I'd seen that!

[talaniman]

When the lust is still strong decades later, even when the sex ain't.

[positiveparent]

When you can say you love him knowing he might not love you back.
But you'll love him all the same.

[Kitkat22]

You still get misty eyed when you are dancing with him to the first song you ever danced too.

When he listens to the Grateful Dead.. but really likes Marty Robbins better.

For your birthday he buys tickets to a concert of a band he hates but knows you love and goes with
You.

[Alty]

He goes out in the middle of the night to buy you ice cream when you're pregnant.

He doesn't care how you age, how fat you get, how grey your hair is, he still thinks you're the most beautiful woman in the world.

He buys you chocolate for no reason.

He lets you have the skin off his chicken because he knows it's your favorite, even though he likes it too.

He kisses you when he gets home from work, and holds you when you're watching a movie, even though he's uncomfortable.

He buys you tampons. ;)

He doesn't cook shrimp in the house, because he knows you hate the smell of it. Uses the grill.:)

[Homegirl 50]

He just allows you to be you and loves the good the bad and the ugly.

He always has your back.

He tells you that you're beautiful, not to make you feel good but because he believes you are.

[Kitkat22]

He stills sees you as that young girl he married.

When you volunteer him for things at school like building the set for a play.. he doesn't say anything but.. "I'll get my tools".
Later he may say... "Ask me first".

[positiveparent]

Love is - a feeling you can't explain,
Something that starts with a pleasurable pain..

Love is - a stolen kiss in the moonlight
And sweet tender dreams of him in the night...

Love is forever an eternal emotion,
Stronger than hate and as deep as the ocean...

So if Love comes your way, makes sure of this...
Treasure it always, because that's what
Love Is...

Love Is
Knowing the best is yet to come...
