Your getting there.  I don't think love happens immediately but that we know when someone has potential.  With my current hubby, I just knew after a few dates that we were falling in love and he was the one.

Love is about as complicated as the DNA that makes us. Don't look over the bridge until you cross the road. You will know when the right person tells you that they LOVE you and really mean it. Time will tell.

Too often the "falling in love" happens way-too quick, and leads to disillusionment and terrible let downs about the one you thought was a love at first sight.  Well, it usually happens that too quick a judgement about an involvement ends up that way.  Be patient in affairs of the heart for your own good in the future

You just fall in love without knowing.. the person. and then once you get to know the person very well... you regret... :S

First you always know when you are in love with someone. How you know that you should spend the rest of your wid them is a another story. Easy ways to tell how you act and feel around the person when you two are together. I guess my advice is to just follow your heart if it is there you will know. If it is not real love then, you just have to move on and take it a step at time from there. Their is no sure way to if all of this is right for you. Just have to take a chance and see what happens.

Sure.\n\nSome people gradually fall for someone and some people find themselves falling for someone much quicker.\n\nIt's all in how much time you can spend together and how well things click between the two of you.\n\nBut, I would also say that often times what people label as 'falling in love' is nothing beyond a strong infatuation.\n\n//

sometimes it is love at first sight,but i believe you need to make sure you two can communicate good before saying i love you,and make sure you become friends first.If you can`t communicate there is no sense of falling in love because that love will be gone from one end before you know it.

if you can't stop thinking about them, if you want to be with them all the time, if you want to call and text them every day, then you know that you're "in love." you're definitely infatuated, which is step one of love.\n\nafter 3 months or so, the infatuation stage begins to wear out. from there, the next level of love begins. if you still want to work with them to make your relationship better, and both of you are still putting into the relationship, it's on it's way! \n\nbetween 6 months to a year, if there is still mutual attraction, love, honesty, trust, respect, and willingness to compromise and communicate thoughts and feelings, then you can be confident that it's the next step, love.

I think we are in love with both.  You fall in love with a person because he has the potential to make you happy and loved.  You will never be sure if he can pull it off though and that's where the leap of faith enters the picture.

some people dont fall in love straight away. the feelings you seem to have are feeling of more then just friendship or soulmates. i think your falling in love with her. dont be afraid to tell her how you feel, unless you dont think she is ready or doesnt feel the same way about you. take things slowly and see what happens.

When you find true love.Hmm love is something really unexplainable.its a feeling that we feel when we want t love another person. its beyond all our control we cannot explain it. its what makes us human.When you meet ther person for youj then you will realise what love is really about.\n\n\nTrue love? or a lustful kind of love? There is a difference.\n\nTrue love? The world stops around you when you look into the eyes of the one you love. No one else, nothing else seems important, but the connection that is you share with this person. And you can feel it in thier eyes. As if when they stare back into yours, that they are saying without speaking, "I adore you, respect you, desire you, admire you". True love is when you connect on a level that makes you want to do everything you can to make that person happy, and that they do the same in return. It is a powerful feeling, when the world stops around the two of you. You will know it.\n\nLustful kind of love is much different. Its the feeling that omg I have to have that person, they are so very attractive, and that I think I am in love with them. Its a false true love.\n\nYou will feel love for him in time.\nThat love is connection.,YOu can tell him by passing him notes.or leaving him a message.! take it slowly my friend.do that if you are shy.talk to him ,call him,,,relate your feelings towards him.he will start to understand and like you.\n\nremember\n\nBeauty is in the eyes of the beholder

Personally I don't believe you can love someone you have never met face to face.\nThe people you talk to on the internet can pretend to be whoever thay want you to think they are, so meeting face to face is the only way I can see for you to be in LOVE.\n\nYou can fall in love when you least expect it!  I know,..I did!  And we have been together for over 15 yrs. and only apart for 1 week since the day we first met!\n\nHe is wonderful.  The best gift God ever gave me was my best friend, lover, and now husband!  I thank the good Lord every day that he brought him into my life!\n\nI hope you find true love, however you do it, because there is nothing else like it in life!\nGod Bless!

It's infatuation. HOWEVER, infatuation is just the first step towards love. In this stage you're in, you wanna be with them all the time. You can't stop thinking about them, etc, etc.\n\nAfter a few months of being in a relationship, this feeling wears down a bit. In 6 months to a year, if you still want to be with them, it's probably love.\n\nBut to keep the relationship moving in that direction, you have to create a strong base of MUTUAL honesty, trust, compromise, communication of thoughts/feelings, and respect.

Note the difference between 'falling in love'and 'being in love':\n\nyou can fall in love many times.. but to truly love another is a once in a lifetime feeling, because when you really love you wont even consider anyone else, even if your love is unreflected. \nsomeone once said (and i find it to be very true) that when you are falling in love, you think the object of your love is perfect, with no flaws! she is your beautiful princess and he is your knight in shining armor. \nhowever, when you love you know the other is NOT perfect, you become aware of the other's faults but accept them, and love the other as he(she) is.\nthe first is completely irrational, while the other borders and moves closer to rationality. we do crazy things for love, especially in the process of 'falling' but when you actually start thinking and you still love, accept the flaws of the other, and are not overly jealous (jealousy is a sign of falling in love) because mutual trust takes over then its an extremely rare occasion!!!\n\nof course, it is also very likely that true love never be found...

Six months seems like a long time.  Usually after just a couple of dates you start to know if you love someone.  After six months you should pretty much know if this relationship is going to be long term and the word love should be something easily given.  Maybe I'm just quicker to love than some but six months seems like forever.\n\nIt is obvious how important those three little words are to you, and I agree.  I think you are at a place where all you can do is sit him down and talk to him.  Ending a relationship is always hard and before reaching that point I think it is important to make sure you know absolutely from the other person their feelings on the issue.  Then you can honestly make your choice without having made an assumption.

3 months isn't that long enough for someone to fall in love (real and true). when it comes to professing LOVE, men are controlled by their egos thus, making it a very difficult action for him. since he said the word "friend," then take it as so. both of you may understand each other more than anybody else taking your relationship to a higher level but please don't confuse this with love. physical attraction is a primary excuse to fall in love with someone, so is infatuation. draw a line where he stays on the other side as a friend. if he chooses to cross it, he's got to do more than prove his love. if you go and talk to his buds this'll make you look interested in having a relationship with him. keep a safe distance to protect your heart but be professional about it. word of caution: if someone says he loves you, he's also saying 'be prepared to be hurt." good luck!

hmm.. falling in love.. what a great feeling.  However, ALLOWING yourself to fall in love when you know your heart will break, is not love at all.  But when you CHOOSE to love someone, there are no expectations.  You just do it because it makes you happy to do so.  And when that is given in return (not expected) well then that is the most wonderful thing on earth.  We are creatures of love.  We came into this world knowing only love.  We only learned from family, friends, and the world what is expected to "be in love".  And this is a lie.  When someone punishes you for loving them, then it isn't love at all.  So pay attention to your feelings and the ACTIONS of others as well as your own actions.  There is a book I want to find and read .. it will help you understand and it explains it better than I ever will.  Enjoy!!
