How do you know if you love him, or if it's just lust?

Imagine that you can't do anything at all with this guy that has anything to do with sexuality. You can't even kiss him. Now, if that were the case, would you still want to be around him? If you don't... then most likely it's only lust.

It's not as simple as "you just know." That's infatuation. For love, couple that unknown warm feeling with what you know in your mind. For instance, does the person have the same values, motivators, goals as you? Can you see yourself devoting, perhaps sacrificing what you think you want in life to help them? Would you die for that person and why? Don't misunderstand, no need to get anal about it--just some questions to ask yourself to help you see if you're in love and not just lust.

You can tell if a guy is in love with you if he\nnever leaves you alone.  Calling, writing notes,\nhaving very long talks about you, etc.  He'll \ndevote most of his free time to you. If not,\nhe'll complain about not being with you or not\nbeing able to talk to you enough. You can usually\nsee true love in his eyes when he looks at you.\nGood luck, theres a lot of liars and users out \nthere. Your best bet is to ask God to lead the\nright person to you.  You can't go wrong there.

Ask him.\nHow he answers the question is how you will know.\nAlso you can feel if someone really loves you.

1:DO YOU TRUST HIM AND DOES HE TRUST YOU.\n2:DOES HE MAKE YOU LAUGH AND DO MAKE HIM LAUGH\n3:DOES HE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HIM.\n4:HAVE YOU TOLD HIM HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HIM\nLOOK BABY GIRL THE ONLY WAY TO REALLY KNOW IS TO ASK BECAUSE A CLOSE MOUTH NEVER GETS FED, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO TRUE LOVE BELIEVE ME YOU WILL KNOW BECAUSE IT WILL BE HARD AS HELL TO SEPARATE THE BOTH OF YOU. GOOD LUCK

I've been asking myself the same question for years, I thought I was in love but wasn't 100% sure.  People would say its the one you would do anything for or always want to be around them.  Well I did all those things and I loved the shawty but I wasn't in love with them.  When I actually fell in love with the right one I knew right away that I was in love and I didn't really need to confirm my feelings with anyone.  So if you are not sure than you are not in love with them, but just love them.  You heart will tell you if you are in love not your mind.\n\nGood luck luv

Usually it's just something you know in your heart. As for outward stuff, usually he will seem completely and totally committed to you. He loves spending time with you, and seems like he can barely stand being apart from you. When you look into his eyes in a quiet moment between you two, often you can find the answer right there as well. Just watch him closely. When there is love between two people, usually it is only one of the two that can decide whether the other is in love with them or not. This is your bond. Do you think he is in love with you? Ask yourself that now and then when you are with him. You may just find that he is showing more of the signs than you originally realized.

it depends. if u feel he really loves , really means really, then u should. men dont take relationships seriously at the begining, but no one can tell when u r in love. so, be genuine to yourself and do what your innerself tells you to do. but if u acvcept him, make sure to check, he is genuine to you.

You will just know hun :) I promise!  You will be able to tell by the way he looks at you and by the little things he will do for you that he doesn't "have to" do.  He will maybe put you before himself and think of you when you aren't around.  Men act a little goofy when they first fall in love...but thats why we love them back right :).  Good luck!

Love depends on the way you see it. Some confuse the lust they have to some person with love. Love is pure. It comes from within. Will stick to that person, no matter what. You will come to know when you are in love. Very tough to explain as to how you come to know.

At the young age of 14 you are not able to distinguish love from lust at this point.  Love is not only an emotion, it's commitment, trust, patience, and giving your all to someone for the purpose of marriage.  Wait until your education and career are established and then when all of YOUR needs are met by YOU, then you can tell if you love someone.  Years to go young lady.!!!  This young fella doesn't need to complications of another person wanting him either.  Chances are that he needs as much time to find himself as you do.  True love will feel richer once you know what you're doing in life.  If you two were in real love then you wouldn't need to ask strangers how to show your love to someone.  If both of you were mature enough to be in love, he would have created an environment that you would be comfortable enough to express your love without even asking.  Take your time. ok.

His actions will tell you.  Love is a verb and requires action.  Does he keep his word and promises. Have you met his parents, friends, co-workers.  Do you spend quality time with you and does he call you frequently.   \n\nWhat are his actions like outside the bed room.  This is how you can tell if he loves you.  If he is only attentive during sex....don't count on it being love.

When you suspect yourself being in love, there's a high chance that you really are in love... Eg: You're asking us how to tell if you're in love, you're curious, so it's quite likely that you are in love\n\nNow ask yourself, do you miss that person whenever you're apart? Do you start looking around when the person isn't around but you expect him to be there?\n\nAnswered yes? No doubt you're in love!

I've had a problem with the same question. I've come to find out that if you really love someone and you seperate or your away for a while and you can't stop thinking of them and it begins to hurt, your in love. But, if the same thing happens and the only thing you really miss is being shacked up with them then it's lust. Love is very complicated and very painful. No words can ever express real love it's something that you feel deep down. Love can be different things to different people it really depends on you. Sit down alone and think about it.
