Am I in love?

[kamalidaniel23]

Can you fall in love in a month? I just started a new relationship with this guy...things are going great and we are extremely happy...I can't describe the way he makes me feel but I think I'm in love....am I in love? Or am I just overwhelmed that I finally found someone who makes me this happy ...is it too soon...I'm confused

Nope, that's not love, that's lust and infatuation.

 

Love takes a lot more time and if you can see all sides of a person, including the bad sides, then it's closer to love.

Wait until you and he have had a bad argument and he is being a total jerk to you, or when a crisis hits in one of your lives, wait until one of you is sick or down in the dumps, or can see each other looking not too attractive either from being ill or bad sleep or whatever. If you still work well together in all of those times and you still feel just as attracted and are happy and can maintain respect, loyalty and a good friendship, then you can consider it love.

 

I personally also feel that love is long lasting and it is not fleeting or goes away. I think many people mistake love for short term or something that is easy and all hearts and lowers, but that's not love.

Love is so much more and lasts years and years, some might say it's only love if it lasts a lifetime and you remain a couple the entire time and still are in love after a lifetime.

But it takes far more time and is far more in depth than what you are talking about.

A month is not near long enough, you barely know each other. You are in lust and infatuated. Take your time.

Nah ...just infatuation ...this is when all the false promises are made hahaha ohh god been there so many times ...I love this phase though it is wonderful ...get off the internet and just go and enjoy it without questioning it .

I seem to be the odd one out but I think that's enough time to fall in love. Not like the steady you know each other by heart and would sacrifice things you hold dear for them. But more of a young puppy love, that's just kinda happy and bubbly.

Like the others have said. It's probably infatuation, but who knows. Perhaps you two will get married and in fact it was love all along.

 

In the meantime, check out my quote by C.S. Lewis. I feel it's one of the great ways to describe love.

I don't think love is something you find. You can find the right person who eventually builds love with you and is compatible with you but you won't know if they are the right one and if it's actually love until far down the road. I think many people get it confused and mix up strong feelings of lust and infatuation with love or that they think they can"find" love...it doesn't work that way, unfortunately.

I don't think love is something you find. You can find the right person who eventually builds love with you..

 

Bang on brilliant.

If you don't know if you're in love then I am not sure how strangers on the internet could possibly know if you are in love or not either.

This is not love. It could be the good fit of dysfunctional traits. It could be lust.

 

Love in this context is calm, peaceful. It is a blend of respect, affection, kindness.
