To me there's a difference between loving someone and being in love. I don't think I really know what truly being in love feels like and as a result I find the matter rather subjective. Have you ever completely been in love before and how did you know.

People often say "I Love You" in relationships. When does that become I'm In Love With You. Or are they the same thing?

I think people confuse being infatuated with someone for genuine love.

Like, I met a guy last night. Just based on what he's said in passing, I've downloaded tons of new music, all of it dance (something I don't hate, but I don't exactly love). I'm also reconsidering a few of my life choices, all based on the profound experience that this guy gave me.

Would I say I loved him? **** no, but I'm certainly infatuated with him

Love sucks.

Relationships to me are just such hard work, they devote so much of your time, efforts and energy. And if they ever fall apart it's like all the devotion has just been wasted giving your life to someone else.

I've been in a relationship for three months and my bf says he loves me all the time. However am I in love? I've never been this committed to some one and I don't know what I'm supposed to feel. Should I just inherently know?

How did you feel when you were in love if I can ask?

When you care about the other person more than you care about yourself. When their happiness means more to you than your own or anything else in the world. When you're happy to make sacrifices just to see the person smile. When you can't picture the rest of your life without that person. When all these things describe your feelings for someone, that's how you know you're in love. It's rare to to have those type of feelings. I only felt like that once in my life. It's hard to find true love these days.


The sweating, getting nervous, clumsy, etc. those are all signs of infatuation or crushes, not love.

I've been with the same person for a little over two years.

I knew I was in love when I realized what I would give up for him and how horrible the possibility of losing him felt. Its really hard to explain until you've actually been in it. If you aren't sure if you're in love or not then chances are you aren't. lol

I don't know what Love is.

I love this song though.

Ugh, so true. I hate it.

Have can love suck if you've been in a relationship you two years?

Awesome that you guys have been going on for so long

Last question - did it take you a while to fall in love. Or did you know fairly early on?

I mean when things are great, they're amazing and it feels like heaven. But when things aren't great then it sucks horribly. I hate letting someone have that type of "power" over me.

It took me around 6 months but it really varies with everyone. I still think 6 months was too quick for me. I will say we had an instant connection almost immediately but I didn't think it would turn into what its turned into. lol

This gives me hope, thanks for your insights

Love hasn't the same meaning like 10 years ago!
Everyone says "I love you" to each other, even if he doesnt mean it...
The most important words doesn't mean that much anymore, or aren't honest words like earlier!

That's remarkably similar to how I feel about Taylor Swift. FML

any other thoughts?

i've been in lust

...i've had relationships but I can't say I was ever "in love" with any of them
