I just wondered if anyone can give me their definition of being in love?? How do you know when you are? Are there "signs" or definite--okay i know I am in love because ..... or whatever

I'm assuming you want the difference between love and lust?

1. Wait till the honeymood period of the relationship is over. Possibly 6-8 months. If you still love strongly when the passion has died down a little, it's love.

2. Wait till you get irritated by their faults but you still love them. I've found that in the early stages of a relationship, one has much more tolerance for the 'faults' of a partner. But when you actually start to get annoyed by their faults, you can then assume you're getting a clearer picture of the person.

3. When the above two are achieved, if you feel *good* about yourself when you're with him, it's another good sign. A relationship worth having shouldn't make you feel bad.

Interested to see what others post.

Hi meriah,


If you ask that question to 10 people, you will probably get 10 different answers. iv_aisha
