How and when do you know you're in love?

[ExpressPacer]

Title pretty much explains it. With the holiday and festive season around, a lot of young (and old ones too!) people meeting new people.

You'll know it when you're ready to commit the rest of your life with your SO. I had a love marriage, so I knew early on as I asked myself the same question since I didn't want to be leading someone on, which is am I prepared to go all the way to marriage with this girl?

I am not saying you can't love someone and not want to be married, but within our Pakistani cultural context its very important to ask yourself that question.

I am sure its different for everyone else however.

And I also knew it the moment I told my family about her.

When you are angry at them for some reason but still concerned about them.

When your heart takes over your brain.

When desire takes over the common sense.

Honestly, there is only one true love. The love a parent (Mother/Father) have for their offspring. You don't need any requirements for it. No matter how the kid looks, how much of a brat the kid is, the parents will ignore all those things and love him/her to the death.

When you are on PP and your wife enters the room to spend some time with you, and you tell her you are busy with work.

Agree, only unselfish love in the World where your looks or beauty or any materialistic qualities aren't the reasons for love.

Of course. Very beautifully put but even some parents​ can be the total opposite of what you said.

Some parents are ruthless. Its more of an exception than norm.

You can bet on wives and husbands complaining about their spouses at gatherings and family/religious functions. But rarely do they complain about their kids even if their kids are good for nothing brats. In fact all those parents defend their sons to death if someone complaints about them.

Another example is, Wives/Husbands always complain about their spouses being over weight and lazy. The same people feel that their kids don't eat much even if the kid is obese and does not get his/her buttt out of the couch. Its called blind love.

Legends don't fall in love, they make her fall in love with themselves. Being in love is easy but having someone to fall in love with you is probably the best thing.

And. parents love is the purest form of love that can't be replace.

Some daft answers, too much Bollywood fans

Love is an emotion , just like hate, anger, sadness etc...

It CAN come and go like any other emotion. Of course it will remain for your family unless you fall out over something serious.

The only real love which will not diminish is the love for the Lord. Unless you have doubts (which is rare for most believers) you will always love your Creator and this love can keep growing until the day you die and meet Him.

When the incomplete soul of one human being traverses the universe looking for its missing half - experiencing frustration, loneliness, pain, horror and heartache on its journey - until eventually it locates its natural equal within another person. Unity between two is then achieved.

To find and marry your soulmate, and then to nurture and raise children, for me is one of the core purposes of life. And love is the driver that motivates us to get there.

I don't believe in love at first sight. It takes time to develop that feeling of love and trust. But still my opinion on this...

When you are in your true self, she likes to be in the company with you. Laugh at your stupid jokes and still honestly admire you.

You fight and feels guilty. Even if the fault is on the other side you go and apologise for it.

You do something good and wait for the appreciation from that "particular person" that matters to you the most.

When others hit her you become overprotective and jealous . You feel insecure and the anger has no limit.

In good or proud moments you want her to be with you to share this joy. You feel incomplete without her presence.

I know this post is full of cheesy stuff but this is how i feel about my better half.

You can fall in love more than once. I think the whole concept of "love" when we are talking about significant others is overplayed in today's society. There is no "the one".

You can also fall in love and then fall out of love with the same person as well. Happens all the time.

But overall it is having someone who you are attracted to but at the same connect to on a deeper psychological level as well, but there must be some sort of elapsed time in the relationship. And I don't mean you necessarily have the same interests as him/her, but you are both calibrated mentally without any effort.

And I don't want to use that same cliched advice, but the only way to know you connect with someone like that is to "be yourself". What that means is you're not trying to get their approval or supplicate to them, you're not trying, you just are.

Even after you connect with someone like that, it doesn't necessarily mean you are in love...

Like someone said above, love at first sight is **. It takes time to create any kind of bond. You being attracted to someone for looks =/= being in love. It's obvious but a lot of people fall into this trap.

Looks are ofc the first qualifier, whether we deny it or accept it. It's just basic biology. All the other qualities you look for come after.

Reminds me of that song by Haddaway

"What is love?
Baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me
No more"

Love for me is when you are so much enthralled by a person that you get the deep down feeling that without them in your life, you will simply cease to exist.

When you know you can count on them at your worst and they are the first person you want to share your best moments with.
