How do you know what true love is?

What's love? How do you know when you're in love? What's the best way to show you love them?

• I don't know if I love him. We told each other we liked each other, but is what I feel more than just "like?" We text at night for 6 hours on the weekends, and talk for about 2 on week days. I always seem to melt a little when I text with him. When he says something cute to me, I always melt away. When I see him, I get a huge knot in my stomach and can't even talk. We like each other, but do I actually love him? *What is love in your opinion?* *How do you know when you love someone?* *What's the best way to show that you love someone?* *Am I in love? If not, what am I feeling?* Anyone who gives the best answers for those 4 questions will be voted best answer. Thanks so much!!!!<333

• Answer:

  1. Love is when you'd do anything for the other person. You think they're the best, even if their face gets destroyed in an accident.. and you could care less that someday they'll be old, fat, and probably bald. 2. You know you love someone, when you can forgive them. Not because they didn't hurt you that badly or you're afraid of losing them- but because you can put yourself second. Also, you appreciate them for all of their qualities. You love them for THEM, not how they make you feel. 3. I'm not sure about this one. It's different for everyone... Being selfless really shows love, I think. Like doing something you don't really like, but you know he loves. Like going fishing with him or something lol. 4. You are NOT in love. Right now you are infatuated with him. You can love someone without having butterflies in your stomach. Infatuation is always at the start of a relationship. With time, infatuation can turn into love.
