I would say there are three types in this: When the lovers are positive signs (Fire/Air), negative signs (Water/Earth), or one of them is positive sign and the other negative. The type of emotions involved are different.

To me Loving is indistinguishable from Knowing. When you love and respect the someone you know intimately and deeply no matter how soft, tender or vulnerable they are on the inside, no matter what flaws they possess and you are aware of the areas they are hurt and you are gentle on these areas and you truly care for them and you have faith in their inherent strengths (everyone possess some inherent strengths that is either latent or dormant). If there is deficiency in any of these qualities then it is not true love.

What I would like to know is:

If you miss a person so much that being away from them is painful for no rational reason, then can it be called true love?

If your heart beats fast when they are near, again for no rational reason, then can it be called true love?

If you believe naturally they must also fall in love with you just because you are falling in love with him/her and you are unable to believe/comprehend any other possibility, and you keep wondering "he/she must also must love me, because I love him/her" and you wonder it does not make any logical sense, then can it be called true love?

If you cannot imagine a life without them, you cannot live without him/her, though all reason tells you it may not be possible, but you find it impossible to accept it emotionally, then is it true love?

Love is putting effort to understand each other even if we don't understand each other at first.

i dont believe in any global five signs that can tell its true love

not e one feels weak in knees, not e one experiences that thunder bolt connection....e one has his or her own definition of wht love is...but to me its mostly our own notions, our own biases, our own criterions....oh the person who will be right for me will smell this way, will understand me without me saying any thing

we develop all these notions, based on wht we hear and experience,,,movies, novels, our friends telling us this is how they felt etc etc
