How to tell if you are genuinely in love with someone

Hmm the other night, I had a little conversation with a nice lady blogger . She isn`t there yet as still getting to know these guy(s) but would be nice to see these signs for the next pace. I am sure it`s a great "hint" so hope you find it good reading too

I still believe that real love takes maturity but along the way in getting into a relationship, often difficult at first is to discern the differences between lust and true love. In some cases, you may think that you love a person, only to figure out that what you were experiencing at the time was something else entirely and significantly less serious.

Conversation- When you truly love and care for someone, the relationship goes far beyond physical. In fact, emotional aspects may even make up the bulk of the relationship. If you can converse with a person in a natural and easy way even with the time flying by, then it is very likely that you love him or her. Consider the topics you discuss with, whether your life dreams, favorite foods or biggest anxieties and problems. If conversation with a person makes you laugh, cry, scream and feel comfort, sometimes all at once, then what you`re feeling is something genuine.

Missing-If you constantly miss or feel longing for another person, then you probably are truly in love with her/him. If you feel a slight or hard pang (slight pain) in your heart after saying goodbye to him a mere 15 minutes ago, then you have fallen deeply.

Other people-One sure fire indication that you really love a person is complete loss of interest in meeting other people for possible romance. If you only have eyes for one person and you barely notice anyone else, you feel tl. If someone fulfills all of your needs in a partner, then you likely will not look elsewhere

Being yourself- One sign that you are in a truly loving situation is total comfort with yourself, no pretense . If you are happy being yourself with someone, if you can be around with zero fear of judgment, then that displays an authentic rapport, kinship and love and this goes both ways. If you love your partner for who he/she is and don't wish to change him/her, then your feelings probably are real and serious.

Pain- If even imagining a situation where the other person is in love with someone new causes you to feel pain, then tl is what you are feeling. If you feel like you are the only person on earth suitable for your partner, then perhaps you are ...Oh well, as long as he also feels the same way too

Selfless- With real love comes an element of selflessness. If you begin to care about someone just as much as you care about yourself and start to approach life thinking in terms of "we" instead of "I," you definitely are in love with the person.

Trust- Honesty and trust are the basic foundations upon which relationships are based, with tl comes a strong rapport. If you feel 100 percent free and secure in divulging all your deepest secrets and thoughts to someone. without fear of betrayal, it appears that you are involved in a two-way situation of mutual love, affection, respect and consideration.

Love is a process, "Can`t hurry love, you just have to wait" as the song says , it might develop further but staying in love is another, and it`s a choice. In some cases it can bloom into a beautiful friendship as well

Have a wonderful weekend to all!

Grace,

You did it once again. Thanks for this blog in distinguishing lust over love. It's definitely a fine line. Only time will really tell. Happy Easter
