There are many types of love etc etc... But what would you, personally, count as the point where someone, yourself or otherwise, has fallen in love?Do you think love needs to be recipricated in order to make it real? And how would you tell those tell-tale signs? Also- if you're not already over-thought by now, do think love needs to be spoken to make it possible? Thanks for any replies!

love is important but i dont think there is anything called true love ( the way its depicted in fairy tales or may be in mills -boon novels , { thats why i dont read those novels})but yeah love of course is there . love for me is , when i know i can share my life with the said person . and the most important and controversial part , i have felt this same feeling more than once .
yes i think , it needs to be reciprocated . but i dont think it needs to be spoken . silent relations are much more sexier , i believe. thanks for starting the thread ( i started the same , when i came here intially , thnks for reminding !) IP: Logged |

Hey, Peaches, I like the analogy!cancerrg, if I'd known, I would have dug out your thread instead, sorry! And what about unrequited love? Doesn't that count? IP: Logged |

Does it count for you? Then it counts.Love is waking up with the same person on your mind you went to sleep by. Love is wishing well for that person/s. No matter what. It is selfless, but it can also be selfish. It is sharing, but it can also be secret. If it makes you glow from your belly and your heart, if it makes you want to be a better person, it is love. So many different kinds. IP: Logged |

you know, this is something that I've thought quite a bit about lately. And I've come to the conclusion (at presente anyway) that love is something you feel and so difficult to put into words... it's just an overwhelming feeling that you can't live without the other person, they somehow make you complete and you are willing to give up almost anything in order to make the other person happy. But I ask myself, is love forever? If it ends then was it love after all? IP: Logged |

"But what would you, personally, count as the point where someone, yourself or otherwise, has fallen in love?"I wish I could figure out the exact moment, but few people can. It has something to do with recognising yourself in the person and still wanting to be around them. All the time. It's affectionate, kind of sneaks up on you. "Do you think love needs to be recipricated in order to make it real?" No. But there is a whole other aspect that you never experience when you love from afar, so its not complete or mature. "And how would you tell those tell-tale signs?"
As far as the other person falling for you? They will become a little bit needy, maybe show you sides of themselves they never did, share secrets with you. A big one is catching them watching you, theres a certain smile that is tell tale. "Also- if you're not already over-thought by now, do think love needs to be spoken to make it possible?" of course not.

I think I realized I was in love when I didn't have to ask what my fiance was thinking all the time. I just knew. It's also waking up everyday and feeling real good about where you are. Simple but true for me!IP: Logged |

hhhhhmmm...... its really difficult , but i'll be honest , i dont think i am man who would go for unrequited love , i am too selfish ( though i prefer calling myself , pragamatic) but ofcourse , it happens , i dont have any doubt about that . never happened with me b'cos i always have expectations in relations , i dont claim to be a saint and i dont want to be one either . WHAT ABOUT U ? quote: Love is waking up with the same person on your mind you went to sleep by. Love is wishing well for that person/s. No matter what. It is selfless, but it can also be selfish.

Hot_Ice... I like the way you think!And, yes... Pix is a verbal master. That's one of the billion reasons we love her! For me, I know I'm really in love this time because usually when I'm unfulfilled, I start looking for those things outside of my relationships. Sadly, I don't generally leave one relationship until I've started a new one. (I'm bad. I know. Can I blame it on my sometimes shady Libra moon? On one hand, I shouldn't have to take all the blame...) But this time, between hectic schedules and half-empty beds under two roofs that never seem to be close enough, I have attained patience and tolerance that makes me wonder where the heck I went! I can't deal with this kind of thing! Ohhhhh, but I do. I know I'm in love because I just can't help it! It doesn't feel like the rush I'm used to. It feels a lot more like: Sit. Stay. Good Dog.

cancerggg Real love? Do you know what real means? Just put the two together.
Infaturation is not love I think you guys are confusing that.
When love is real........it is perfect. When you find the man/woman of your dreams. there are no problems, no lying, no having crushes on other people while you are with them or even thinking about it, supporting eachother, looking into eachothers eyes and feeling something deep inside, etc. Only that can be called love. When you feel it and the other person feels it also. When everything is just right. If not then it isn't real love.

pixie- I love your thoughts... they are very romantic! Sadly, I think I can agree with them, except I don't really count for being in love because I know that's too good to be true!Ayumi- Your ideas are very insightful! hot_ice- That is an awesome analogy! lalalinda- That is a perfect way of putting it.... very true! These are all such great ideas, actually! I should write them down somewhere.... IP: Logged |

SO many GREAT thoughts here!! Bravo!!MNF-Do you really believe real Love is Too Good To Be True? (Love actually feels like divine Heaven on Earth...MMmmmmm) If true Love found you, would you 'doubt' it if the feelings came so easily and deeply natural to you?? Would you trust your inner guide?

No, just for me . I always get infatuation confused with real love. I can't wait until I realise I am in love, though. That would be fantastic IP: Logged |

I think you know you love someone when all that matters is that they are safe and well and happy. Think that if you really truly love them its unconditional and it doesn't matter whether you get to have them in your life or not, all that matters to you is that they are okay. Sometimes we project our own needs and desires onto someone, turn them into an object that we think will satisfy our cravings and then call it love. And get angry/ hurt when they are unable or unwilling to meet our needs. You know you really love someone when you feel deeply enough to let go if needs be. That's just what i think though Got a lot of neptune trines and neptune conjunct asc so forgive the hippy s*** xxxIP: Logged |
