Oh my friend, when you're in love you know about it. It can be the best feeling in the world and the worst. It drives you crazy, can't think straight, only when you're gonna see that person again. I think if you left that girl to be with a other she had a lucky escape before she fell for you.

Happy hunting for Miss Right.

You may find what you think is love many times in your life, but then you're going to meet someone who makes you feel something different than you have ever felt before. You smile at the very thought of them. Your emotions are so strong they create a ball of intensity inside you, a ball so large it feels as if you're going to burst, and so you shed tears of happiness. Love cannot be really be described in words.

If you're questioning whether you're in love, then you're not. There is no question in you when it's true. When you feel it you will know this is love, and you will never have to wonder what it is again.

I think love is a very special feeling that lasts..that is unconditional, that goes deep in your soul. You can be unworthy..but when that connection is made..it makes you a better person, it gives you something to look forward to, and live for. Because, you put that person before yourself. When you look into that person's eyes..it doesn't matter what age has done, there is chemistry there. It is like you have "come home", there is comfort there..and loving feelings.

It doesn't have much to do with exterior beauty, or finances. That person will always be special to you. It has a lot to do with accepting that person, as they are, & friendship, with benefits,understanding, and lots of joy & humor. You want to do anything to make that person happy, & you enjoy sharing your life..the ups & downs. Life isn't perfect, but you blend together. You compliment each other. And, you're not ashamed to speak your feelings, because true love is kind, forgiving, everlasting & lots of fun.

Rebecca Batchelor agony auntLove is very much a subjective thing; people have varying opinions as to what constitutes love. It has always been a big debate!

As I am in love, I will offer you my ideas as to what I think love is! But remember, this is a personal viewpoint.

I believe it to be a longing to be with that person and that when you are apart from them, you miss them like crazy. It is also wanting them to be happy more than anything else in the world. You tend to put their needs first. This will be reciprocal if they love you too! It isn't just about finding them attractive, obviously that does play a big role, but it is also about wanting to understand them, wanting to be with them and wanting to show them how you feel about them.

Physical closeness also plays a big part in that you want to be near to them all the time but they effect you emotionally as well as physically. I think in a way you want to climb inside their mind to know everything about them in order to make them feel content and happy. It is about encouraging them to be the best they can be and supporting them as well as listening to them.

Being 'in love' is passionate and emotional and basically makes you feel sometimes as if you are walking on air! It is a much appreciated sensation!

It sounds to me like you are basically finding girls attractive and are confusing this with love. You may really like them but love is a bit more intense. Keep looking and keep enjoying yourself while doing so! You will find love in the end and you will know when you do!

I've found the best way to handle it is like this, especially at first... Which of these girls would you LOVE to spend an evening with most? Then which would you LOVE to sleep with most? Over time you may feel more. Bingo, you're IN love.

Good luck.
