Knowing When You’re In Love

Monday, October 8th, 2007

love

People have been asking for many years how you know you’re in love, and the answer is no clearer today than it was hundreds of years ago. Love is not a feeling you can describe to someone and say that is how you feel if you’re in love. You can’t touch it, you can’t see it, and you can’t describe it because each person who feels it may not feel the same way. The best answer anyone has ever been able to give is “you’ll just know.” As open-ended as that answer is, there is no other way to answer that question.

There are some things that you can use to define the difference between love and infatuation, with the two most obvious ones being:

  • Love allows you to accept someone with their faults and still love them vs. infatuation where you see someone as faultless.
  • When you love someone you are happy even if you are not together because you hold on to the memories of good times and know you will see your loved one again but with infatuation you have a constant need to be with the person you “love” and feel sad and insecure when you are not together.

That doesn’t mean that if you miss your loved one, you are not in love because there will be times you will be unhappy away from them. Likewise, it doesn’t mean you can’t transition from infatuation to love nor does it mean if fault manifest themselves you will stop caring for your loved one. You are the only one who knows by what you feel if you are in love. What about if you’re only a teenager? It depends on you though most adults will tell you that you’re too young to be in love. In most cases, you probably are, but you’re too young to concern yourself with that. Live for the moment and only concern yourself with those issues if you’re still with the same person when you are 20, 21, or 22 years old, are out of college, and established in a career.

How to Build Lasting Relationships

relationship

One important part of dating is learning how to maintain relationships. It’s easier enough to meet new people but learning how to build on those relationships is something different completely. Even more difficult is building a long-term relationship with one person. Doing that means learning what the two of you have in common and how you can compromise on the issue with which you disagree. It certainly takes maturity and a sense of commitment to a relationship to do that, but it is not that difficult.

In any relationship there must exist the element of trust. It doesn’t matter if it is a friendship or romance, if there is no trust, there can be no committed relationship or friendship. Honesty is the backbone of trust, so both elements must exist within a relationship for it to work. That means you must be honest yourself and able to trust the other person in order to build and maintain a good relationship. No relationship can exist without both of those elements existing. That is the reason why relationships that contain a unhealthy amount of jealousy do not last because although the one part may be honest himself or herself, if they cannot transfer trust in the other person, the relationship is doomed from the start.

Besides trust and honesty, one must also have consideration for the feelings of the other person. You may be thinking that is easy to do, but you will find there are times when it is easier said than done. For example, maybe you can’t agree on where to go on a date, and there is some place you have your heart set on going, and your date is adamant that he or she will not go there. It’s very difficult to not say that you’re going with or without him or her. This is something that you have to learn if you expect to develop a lasting relationship with anyone, whether it’s a friend or lover.
