The responsibilities can take its toll on the relationship ,as more when a baby comes along .Doesn't mean your not in love , just don't forget break that routine sometimes and be new to each other . Someone you love is also your  best friend , lover and sometimes someone you just can't stand (once in a while ) But you know they are the only one for you .You can have that boring time , that romantic time , friendship time ,that great sexual WOW  time .Butterflies can become bees JUST don't allow them to become CROWS ( ya know ?)

if you can't stop thinking about them, if you want to be with them all the time, if you want to call and text them every day, then you know that you're "in love." you're definitely infatuated, which is step one of love.\n\nafter 3 months or so, the infatuation stage begins to wear out. from there, the next level of love begins. if you still want to work with them to make your relationship better, and both of you are still putting into the relationship, it's on it's way! \n\nbetween 6 months to a year, if there is still mutual attraction, love, honesty, trust, respect, and willingness to compromise and communicate thoughts and feelings, then you can be confident that it's the next step, love.

this is normal, good thing that you know you do still love each other because you will not always feel all lovey dovey with anyone no matter what. when i start feeling like this i try to remember all the times in the relationship when i did feel in love, think of all the great stuff that you have done together, think of all the times he's been there for you, and hey you guys are still dating, so there is more.  i don't know but someday you might want to get married and have a family eventually.  because you have been together that long, try to still go out together like you did when you were first dating.  it makes a huge difference.  talk about your early relationship with him so you can remember some of the hot stuff together.  relationships are alot more than sex.  focus on really being really good friends, too.  that's what worked for me.  hope it helps for you!!!!!  (:

its just a feeling you have.. it was hard for me to figure it out bc i have only been in 2 serious relationships.. my first was with this guy jeff, and i thought i was in love then, but once we broke up and i got over him i met my husband David.. and i knew that i was in love with dave since the moment  i had seen him, and when i looked back at my old relationship with the ex.. i realized that was just a stong attraction.. love is something that you will be able to tell right away.. at least it was with me..

When you have an infatuation , you think you're in love . \nWhen you're in love , you don't know that you are , till it's too late .

I think that the feeling of love is transfered in some transcidental way. Something like the induction in electricity. If you really feel love, a love is somethat infered in the one you love. So you don't need take action to show your love (if your intent is just love and nothing more :). Just be yourself :)

people should know if they are in love, because that moves us. it makes up all of our emotion. we feel glad, sad, restless and all those stuff. and we should know that we are in love because its a great feeling.

Some feelings never go away..\n\nBut if she loves him i could not this you can tell by the way she acts.

Just means he still cares about you and doesn't want you do feel bad about your relationship ending. Depends on how long you were together and what ages you are. Did he love you? If so, love never goes away it just changes form. I would say leave the option of friendship with no pressure open. If you are meant to be together again it will happen.  If it isn't meant to be don't try to push the issue. Or just pick up the phone and say "Do you still love me?"

Call him and see where the two of you left of ask him if he still has the same feelings he had for you before you moved

look in his eyes , look pretty good and if ur heart beats really hard when you think that something wrong might happen to him , or if you think about him alot and whenever you remmember him you just find a beautiful smile over your face  ...\nif you are sure that you cant possibly love anyone anymore ...\nif u think u were ment to be ..\nif u cant emagine your life without him for one moment ..\nif u have fun being around him ...\nif he makes you smile and then gives you a great hug ..\nif for one time he looked at you with tears in his eyes and said "i love you ..."\nif he makes you feel so special ...\nif he cares that you are always happy no matter what ...\nif you see your children in his eyes ...\n\nTHAN YOU CAN KNOW ...

There will always be a portion of me that is still attracted to my first love.  For some wierd reason, it's the purity of the feeling and it's new encounter.  It's like remembering your first kiss or a first lay.  You will remember it.  Why?!  When you first love someone, there's no bagging to bring you down.  It's all pure and new.  These days, before I can fall in love, I'm burdened by lots of factors.

It's amazing that after all these years, you still feel something for her. And I think it's just proper that she knows how you feel. I suggest telling her that you've been in love with her for the longest time and just wait for her response. If the feeling's been there for a very long time, i believe it's worth telling. And it's worth risking rejection. Sure, you may get rejected but it's going to be worth it. Who knows? She may tell you she loves you too and it's all good, right?

i can tell you how you know you're infatuated. you think about that person all the time and wanna be with them all the time. you feel like you'd do anything for them!\n\nafter the infatuation wears out in a few months, if you still wanna be with them, that's love. after your love has been tried (fight or something) and you work together to get through it and compromise, etc. AND you still wanna be together... that's love!

Why not sit down and talk with them.....express your feelings honestly, and ask how they feel about you.  But don't be in a hurry to end a relationship just because your love doesn't or is unable to say they love you back right at that moment.  Sometimes love buds and develops in time.  That is always a possibility.  Expressing your feeling honestly frequently sets the ball in motion also. What you actually feel and how you come across can be mis-interpeted.  You expression and conversation may be the 1st time your love realized that you "actually" love him/her.  Best of luck to you.   "Love is a many splendid thing"

You don't! It will take some time for you to tell. If it's something new, the novelty will wear off quickly. If it's love, it will stand the test of time (although it's common for the feeling to lessen in intensity).\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com
