How do you know if you love someone?

How long should you be with them before talking about being serious?

When is it taking things too fast?
 
When their happiness matters more than your own.

There is no right amount of time, it depends entirely on the two people involved.

Again, it's specific to the people, but as a rule of thumb: If you haven't had to wash your hair since meeting him or her it's too soon.

1- You don't have to think about it...You don't think about anyone else.

2- You'll know by how you feel and how they express themselves to you. Unspoken trust....It's just there.

3 - When your first ywo questions are still a question....:rose:

That's a quick summary for how it is for me...
 
How do you know if you love someone?

when you can't imagine being with or wanting someone else

How long should you be with them before talking about being serious?

When you find yourself saying, "Can we be serious for a minute?" a lot.

When is it taking things too fast?

When you find yourself saying, "Whoa, slow down, Hoss!" a lot.

I add your answer to my number one to. That was eloquent
 
When the idea of not being able to hear their voice, or not feeling their touch, is distasteful to you.

Once your start pining for them as you go about your day. Things like, "Can't wait till I tell so-and-so this" or "So-and-so would love to hear that".

When the other person's reliance on you gives you pause.

You feel all warmand squishy when they are near....

How long should you be with them before talking about being serious? Hmmmm good question, it's all different everytime....

If you are married by the second date, I think that's fast....

Ok, based upon some of these answers, I'm afraid- very afraid.


You're in love. It's a nice place to be, hun.

Actually, it's the most amazing place to be.

With Lekov, I just felt good. I felt happy, and I knew he felt the same. I just knew ya know?

Let's see... we met in September, we were living with each other before Christmas


When is it going to fast... well, most people thought we went fast. We were engaged over Christmas Break, and married in June. We hadn't even known each other a year yet.

Then, there's a buddy of Lekov's. He knew the girl as an aquintance for a bit, and they worked together, but they were married within a month of their first date.

I think they went fast, but I also know that from what I've seen and heard, they are happy.


I don't think there is 'too fast' if you are bothy happy, and just know.

How long should you be with them before talking about being serious? This can not be answered, as it depends on the individuals.

When is it taking things too fast? If your head is still in the sky after initial meetings, it is way too soon.

Well? How do you answer your own questions? Do you think you're in love?

I honestly don't know how to answer those questions, which is why I posed them here.

I know that I really care about him and would never want to do anything to hurt him. I also know that he feels the same way. I think he's a wonderful person and that we're very well-suited to each other sexually, personality-wise, occupationally, etc...

I think about him constantly, and when he's not around, I wish he was. I've known him since the summer before this past one, but we lost touch for a while and started talking again this past fall. We've briefly discussed me moving in with him, and on the one hand it scares the hell out of me, but on the other hand, it kind of feels right.

I also don't really want to date anyone else, which is practically unheard of for me.


I wish that there was a concrete way to figure out these things.

Here's something that was a big hint for me:

When you look at your life 20 years from now, what do you see? Who is in it? Don't think too hard, just say what you see.

Well, I know that I don't want to be alone. I could see myself with him then.

Whatever you label this as, it sounds like you're enjoying it. That is a good thing.

I am definitely enjoying it, but I'm just not used to it. I'm wondering what I'm going to do to fuck things up, or when he's going to realize that I'm not the person he thinks I am or something like that.
