Why people always know when they fall in love, but don't even know what love is?

Because love is not knowledge, it's feeling first! You know you can always understand the "signs" but there's nothing absolute with it!

It’s that feeling of gazing into each other’s eyes with excitement and interest, discovering that you love each other, and it’s better than you ever imagined it would be. It’s being able to love unencumbered.\n\nIt's easy to fall in love -- much harder to maintain it over time. People who are in love with being in love would do anything to keep a relationship together, even when the love is long gone. \n\nBreaking out of the habit of loving being in love so much that you don't see the truth isn't easy. It takes clarity as well as will at the beginning of a relationship. This means knowing and communicating your needs and hearing your partner's at all steps of the way. \n\nIt also means that when you're ready to take the plunge, you know what you're committing to and understand what that commitment means.

You are way to YOUNG to even know what LOVE is let alone to be thinking that you are in love.

You know that you are in love when all you can do is think about that person. When you look at the person and get a tingling sensation through your body. When the thought of being without them scares you. When you can see yourself with that person for the rest of your life. When you are apart from the person, you long to be with them. Love is a funny thing, but when it's real and it's the real thing you will know because the signs will be there and everything else will fall into place.

There is no such thing (to me) as falling in love.  You are first attracted to a person but you need to take the time to get to know them from the inside out. That takes time. Years even.  A lot of time when people are building a relationship based on some foundations of trust, loyalty, honesty, likenesses, etc. love follows.  When you say you love someone, if you truly know the meaning - Read ! Corinthians 13.  It explains love like nothing else.

first what is love? I feel love is a feeling that cannot be explained,it's that feeling that two people share, it's like a prize possesion that you don't want anyone to have but you and that person. Love means a smile, a laughter, a song, a touch, encouraging words, a call, at though, love means that thing that makes you think about when you are with or away from that person. I always say the best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be touch but are felt in the heart, love is a beautiful thing!! when you feel love you will know. to know what love means is to know who you are deep down inside." to have a friend is to be a friend, to know what love means is to be love yourself. Love means who you really are, you find love and know what love means when you find who you are. You are love! love is who we are.

there is really no right answer to your question, the only thing i can say is that when you are truly in love you will feel it in your heart. love isnt anything to take lightly, but when you are in love you will feel it everytime you see him/her, or hear their voice.

Why the sky is blue I can explain. Why stars twinkle at night I can explain. Why civilisations rise and fall I can explain. But Love cannot be defined so easily.......we dont know why we fall in love, what causes it, stirs it and sends us crazy with it but we dont question it.    It simply is....love, in all its beauty, glory and magic. But before looks, personality, and ragging hormones comes 'chemistry'. If there is no chemistry, there cannot be true love. The chemistry that holds two people so tightly together in each others arms, lives and hearts is the greatest mystery man cannot explain. If and when it happens to you....thank your angels and enjoy what they have brought you. There truly is no greater gift to man...or woman.

because they dont know what love is and they have never experienced a true relationship..but once they have they know that they wont settle for anything less and they will want that real relationship with love and feelings

People confuse falling in love with a crush, or lust.  Falling in love in not easy.  It deals with letting your guard down, and letting someone else in.  Some of us have those walls built so high, that it would take a miracle for soemone to get in.  It is hard.  and it hurts until you do find that one.

Because LOVE is a strong powerful 4 letter word that is commonly misused and abused by too many people.\nUnfortunately, not too many people know what true love really is.\nTherefore without knowing what love is, it's impossible to give love & recieve love.

I really don't think that it's ever to soon to fall in Love.\nI mean seriously love is a B-z like you never know when it will happen or leave you, I'm happy for you, because some people never get to experience the little thing called love. And girl if you think that you've found it.... don't let it go!!!! Good Luck!

Good question, 'love' is such an umbrella term for the whole gamut of human attraction feelings. I guess the only way you know you love someone is if you put them first before yourself all the time. Personally I think this is a crazy idea, which is why I won't fall in love, nor will I lie to someone either. I think people need to be more honest and not say things that their partner wants them to say but they don't feel. Love is what you make of it, everyone has their own set of rules for it. To ask others what it is, is like saying what is the definition of chocolate flavoured ice cream? You can bet it tastes different every place you have it. Chocolate is a good substitute for love anyway, so eat that!

When you think you love somebody, you love them. That's what love is: Thoughts.\n\nThere are different kinds of love, yes. Some are fleeting, some are simple, some are complex and lasting. There's no 'best' or 'true' kind of love, and there's no sure way to know what kind of love you're in. But if you're afraid of being hurt, I have a rule of thumb. Usually, the quicker two people fall in love, the quicker either one could fall out of love. People have called love that took a long time to form 'deep' and love that didn't 'shallow', but those are misnomers. Whirlwind love, the kind that appears almost out of nowhere, can feel and be as 'deep' as any other kind of love. But if you're wondering if a 'whirlwind romance' will last, my unfortunate answer is that it probably won't.\nBest of luck,

Sure we can all tell you what love is, but I can tell you right now you will not get one same answer. Love means different things to different people. So the meaning of love to me will not be the same as your feelings.
