When a boy sends you a note, and it says "Do you love me? Check yes or no" and then it has the two little boxes with "yes" and "no" written next to them, and you check the "yes" box.

that is the most correct answer

This thread is too dayum sappy, but this is how I look at love too. You just know.

Hmmm, I don't really look at love quite the same way. I guess I measure it more by my reactions to the person/relationship, rather than an inherent knowledge/feeling. When I'm in love with someone then I'm constantly concerned for their well-being (I pray for them and worry for their safety, etc). I never want to be someplace other than with them. I am saddened by the thought of not being with them. I can't imagine that I'd be happier in a relationship with someone else, and the appeal of dating another man fades to zippo. Being with them feels natural. They are my best friend (next to God and mommy). I have a feeling of respect and admiration for them. I just feel like we match one another. I guess for me, after I realize all of these things, then it occurs to me that I love the person; then I feel like I could marry that person and not want to shot myself in the foot in 6 mos.

I pointed at gun at my girlfriends head and asked her if she loved me. She said yes, but for some reason she sounded a little nervous.

Meh

Tell her to listen to M.O.P. Ante Up. She'll get some backbone in her and won't be afraid anymore.

Ok sweet. Let me inflate her back up and we'll listen to that song.

dammit LOL

Everyone's got a different idea of what being 'in love' is. You have to figure out how YOU define it before you can know if you're in it or not.

Thanks, Platitude Police!

LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO

Dammit I hate GC sometimes!

Just because I had to look up what platitude meant before I responded, it doesn't mean I'm any less insulted!!!!!!!!!!

A++ post of the day.

I also thnk it can depend on the person you are in love with. I was in love with my college boyfriend and I'd describe it as the always smiling when you think of him, caring for his well-being, making me happy kind of love. But he was really laid back and a totally different personality than my husband.

As I've gotten older and lived with and am now married to my husband, a lot more issues come up that are more serious than college and it's not the same for me. Sometimes he drives me nuts and definitely doesn't make me smile! :p But I always feel I would be happier arguing with him then never being with him at all. I always tell him he knows I must love him because I wouldn't put up with him if I didn't!

Plus, here's a good one my girlfriends and I laugh about - you know you're in love when you can pass gas in front of them!!! :o :D

Okay in all seriousness, I want to ask about this. Do most people do this? Or even use the, um, bathroom facilities in front of each other?
