Also, love can show itself in other forms besides just that happy feeling. Like, for example, if the person you loved said they would come over and didn't without calling or saying anything, again, and again, and again. If you don't care and could go about your day the same way, you don't love them. But if it COMPLETELY MESSES UP YOUR STUPID FREAKING DAY, if you just can't be as happy as you want to, chances are the person you love is being a complete jerk, and that your love is real.
If it makes you blind, it's love.

You always try to look at her, your heart beats very fast when your close to her, you think about her almost all day and you often dream about her. You notice her defects, but you like her anyway, you like her voice, her attitude. You feel comfortable when she's near you but feel very uncomfortable when another guy communicates to her. To you she is important and you wish to have her. You prefer her from any other girl you kno, and only think of her and nobody else. You like her hair, her style, her voice, her smile, her scent and her personality.
If she then refuses to go out with you or you find out she likes another boy, you tumble into a period of sadness and depression.
That is love

that's not love. that's selfish. if not seeing someone for a day ruins yours, you're being selfish because you want them to be with you even though they're doing something else.
if you go on with your day, most likely you love them because you understand that they need to do what needs to be done and that they don't need to spend every waking moment they have with you.

Not necessarily doing something else. And sometimes a day can mean a lot when it's the only day you can do, and you haven't seen the person in two weeks. Believe me, what I'm talking about is a FAR stretch from every waking moment. And just because they're not there doesn't mean that they're doing something they need to do.
But all of that is besides the point. I'm just talking about if someone has that much of a hold on your emotions, that's love.

i haven't seen my girlfriend in a month, and i won't see her for another one. i'm not exactly moping about it because i understand that she's doing what makes her happy, and that makes me happy.
if someone has that much control over your emotions like you said, that's infatuation, not love.
You know you feel love when your dick is covered in her juice
Hmm, so love = less impact on your emotions? I've never heard of that before.
And wow. I'm sorry about that. But if you're not long distance, that's awful. And if it is, well, good luck to the both of you. I honestly don't think I could go that long without seeing my boyfriend.

[quote=Psychological Breakdown of 'Love]
My professor’s main observation was that the most powerful feelings of love seem to require distance, that love feels most poignant and exquisite when there is longing.
When people are in a solid, settled relationship, doesn’t the intensity of the love experience fade? And if so, why?
Art and literature are full of this same idea. How many more poems and stories and songs are written about longing and desire and painful, troubled love, as compared to those about contented, stress-free monogamy?
Is this because love is just so hard to get right?
Or is there something about the human psyche that often wants love to be hard?…something that wants and needs and creates that distance?
Freud thought that our heads contain all sorts of repressed urges and dark needs, which cause us to do harmful, self-defeating things. Looking at the choices people make in love and the painful relationships they often endure, it sure seems like Freud was right.
But I’ve learned to look for the underlying logic in the relationships people choose. I’ve come to believe that when there’s distance in a relationship, that distance isn’t an accident. The distance is serving some purpose.

I read a book once all about the psychology behind love, the chemicals released into your brain when you're feeling 'love.' Love, and life, are chemical reactions, buzzes, blinks and neurochemical lightbulbs going off in your brain.
What you perceive of love is at a base, primal, animalistic level. Once you understand the science behind it, you udnerstand that love cannot, and is not, unconditional. Life is just a dream.
Here's Tom with the weather,
Aww, why can't you go visit her? I'd help to pay for it if I could. :<
No, that's okay... I'm sure I can find it. And I'm not really interested in anything Maverick writes, to be honest (nothing against him. I just generally disagree with what he writes about romance.)

i'm a junior in high school, i'm kinda low on cash and i'm trying to get my grades up haha, i would if i could. she flew down a couple weeks ago though and we went to homecoming and i got to see her for the weekend, though.
and i found it (this is more for the whole general thread than for you), some people could learn a lot from it. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/908748-You-re-sad-because-you-broke-up.-We-get-it.[/url]
Oh, okay. Wow, sounds like you've got a great girlfriend. I bet she misses you. :3
i'm hoping she does :v:
we should probably get the train back on it's tracks, though. i think we've derailed the thread enough
[QUOTE=Hookerbot9000;26116609]You know you love someone when you blow a load inside your pants while standing next to a woman
:v:[/QUOTE]
You also may have an urge to start fountaining her with your galvanizing cock
You're right, Dysentery. And you're right about the other thing. I just realized that what I wrote was unclear. It's not the not seeing someone that can change your mood, it's if the person makes plans with you and then breaks them repeatedly without giving you a heads up- as in, you expect them, and they never show. This leads to not being able to trust the person you love, feeling they're unreliable. That's what can cause a conflict of emotions, because it feels hopeless to love a person who you can't count on- especially if you could could on them before. I think that's more of what I meant, to be clear. Feeling like you're not cared about by the person you care about the most sucks, haha.
And at first it did hurt, but you know, now, I'm actually just having a happy time regardless. So I didn't let it make me sad anymore. :)
Okay so! Another way I can tell when I'm in love is when everything seems just a little brighter in my life. Even the worst of things don't seem as bad as they did.
Kick back, relax, and be yourself. It'll hit you.
You'll know when love hits you.
why does it matter if it's really "love" or not? just enjoy yourself.
I believe this is relevant

Cool, this is some great advice. According to what you guys said, I'm only feeling 'puppy love'. I guess I just have to give it more time.

Some examples of :love::
1) A warm feeling inside
2) An odd but nice feeling you get (possibly a tingling feeling)
3) Looking down on everybody else because you think that they can't possibly feel what you're feeling
4) When your with someone who you love and loves you, your heart races
5) When someone you love touches you, you get butterflies in your stomach
Basically it's a very good feeling and you'll know it when you get it.
Don't worry OP, you will know you're in love when you feel you've loved her forever even though forever was just a few months/years.
I misspelt 'years' as 'tears'. Freudian slip? I say Freudian slip.
Look at a mirror and think about the said person, if your pupils dilate then you're in love.
[QUOTE=Helix Alioth;26125776]Look at a mirror and think about the said person, if your pupils dilate then you're in love.[/QUOTE]
No, if your pupils dilate you are attracted to said person. There's a difference :v:
Youll feel it, its hard to explain, basically, if you still feel like you have to try to keep her and you cant do whatever you want or say whatever you want, chances are you are not in love yet.
He won't see your post, OP got perma'd.
