"when she still thinks you're cute in the morning"

Maybe that's because you met him at work?

Okay, let's cut the BS... Everyone is giving "lusty" answers... This is the REAL answer: You know ur in love when u accept the person 4 what they r and not try 2 change them. When u make a conscious DECISION to be with that person no matter what happens in life. (and yes it is a decision, love is what u decide 2 make it not about living on cloud 9 24/7) It is the CHOICE of making a life with someone even when they gain a some pounds or lose their hair or get some wrinkles because u know that the level of FRIENDSHIP that exists is something that u don't want to have with anyone else but that person because starting from scratch with someone else you feel "connected" to is too stressful. There will always be someone smarter, prettier, sexier, younger, wealthier, wiser, sweeter out there and in one's lifetime u will meet SEVERAL people that u will be interested in and can make a life with, but you don't do it because you MAKE the DECISION that being with that one person and raising the children u have 2gether is more stable and realistic than chasing after every single person who u have a "connection" with

Actually, what you describe here is when you know you've chosen to love someone...not when you know you've fallen IN love with someone. All those choices you mentioned, you can make with someone you don't love passionately, romantically or spiritually...I know, because I made that choice with someone I was never in love with.

Love is a decision made..."in" love is a feeling felt, a connection experienced. If you're fortunate, you will feel both with the same person...connections aren't easy to find...attraction, though, is a piece of cake. I make sure never to confuse the two....

eye use to be a real "dreamer" - Mariah Carey was my best friend LOL eye THANK GOD THAT EYE LEARNED THIS LESSON YOUNG... some ppl take a life time 2 learn this lesson and MOST never do!!!... Lust feels sooooo fricken good, it would be wonderful 2 be in lust with someone 4 the rest of ur life, but it doesn't happen does it???

eye learned this lesson cuz eye noticed that in my family EVERYONE GETS DIVORCED and eye started analyzing what was going on with my family and their commitment issues. Eye started LISTENING and viewing my friends/associates famlies who had steady secure family atmospheres and eye learned that lesson pretty fast lol LOVE IS WHAT U MAKE OF IT

think about it, ppl that been married 20, 30 years..... u think they r not attracted 2 other ppl younger with a "spark" in their eyes like they use to when they were younger????? of course they do, but they have built this FRIENDSHIP AND RESPECT with there wife/husband that they wouldn't DARE to compromise that over Lust...

* chuckles * i have been in LOVE with my husband for 20 + yrs now.... wanna know alittle secret... the LUST is very much alive... and thats a big part of why we are still together... so lust doesnt ALWAYS die

and its sad that people think that way ...

When I look at her after 14 years and 4 kids and she is more beautiful than the moment we met. When I make every move in my life to ensure the well being of her and our kids. When I am sitting at my desk here today and remembering the weekend and how last night when I went to sleep I felt soooo blessed to be where I was at. When I know that she feels the exact same way...

Thank you....We both feel very blessed to have found our "Soulmate"
but your comments are nice to hear..(or read)

...the songs write themselves.

When all you can do is think of the other person all day long. When you see the slightest thing and compare it to the other person. When you can't eat, sleep or concentrate on anything but the other person...

when he saves the last caramel delite girl scout cookie for you!

You know You're In Love When.... It hurts, but you keep going.





So I've heard.

Even if there was a man like that, you'd go for the married crackhead because he's more, uhm..."passionate".
