"in love" vs love

I'm just wondering if anyone has known whether they've been "in love" with someone before. I know that love is very possible and we can love many significant others in our lives but how do you know if you are or have been "in love" before. Any insight and experieces are welcome.

I'm not sure I understand the question. What do you mean by "in love"?

Do you mean having found someone you think you'll be in love with for the rest of your life? OR Do you mean knowing that you're "in love" but that it isn't going to last?

I've experienced both.

I've been "in love" but known it wouldn't last and I've now found someone that I 100% believe I will love and be with the rest of my life.

Are you asking how you can tell the difference?
