reader, anonymous, writes (28 March 2011): Love is unique to each person be it with humans or dogs (come on, cerebrus). I have my own "symptoms" of love sick lol. Really, when you think about a person daily, think serious thoughts about them, and youll know when youre serious cause youll stop and validate your feleings for the person.. like what qualities do I love about him/her? Whenever you feel infatuated its always good to stop and ask yourself what you actually see in the person cause many of us, even with immaturity, just like the surface of people. A good indicator to know if you have genuine feelings for a person is when they have developed over a good amount of time like months or even years. Hope this helps.

Could you describe the taste of chocolate to someone who has never tasted anything like it before?
The closest thing I can think of to it is my love for my dogs, I love every part of them, their personalities, their unique barks, the way they chase cats, the excitement when they see you coming in that door, the excitement I feel knowing that's the warm reaction I will be coming home to. Knowing that no matter how I'm feeling, no matter what has happened that day there are three little beings that just can't wait to see me, can't wait to get my affection and attention and are fiercely loyal to me.
That's the closest thing I can relate it to, it's just a love so special that you can sit there and list a million things about what it means to you but never truly be able to capture its importance with words.

 This is a good question! However we can't tell you, when love comes along YOU will know about it. Having a crush or infatuation eventually drifts away and you can get on with your life without thinking about it. Take this as an example - You LOVE your parents (if they're in your life), if anything happened to them - you wouldnt know what to do with yourself, you couldnt imagine life without them. THAT is love. So when somebody walks into your life, that makes you feel this way about them, you'll know about it. When you couldn't imagine your life without them, thats love. Your only young, your going to meet plenty of guys, have relationships etc and you may think its love, but remember 'if it doesnt last, it wasnt meant to be' and theres going to be someone who comes along that you'll have THAT feeling for and THATS love.
