How do you know when it’s love?
Love feels good and it lasts. When you’re in love, you feel happy when you’re with the other person. You feel like a better person. You feel safe. You trust your partner and the relationship. You know you can be yourself and the other person will still love you, warts and all. You are willing to open yourself up to the other person, let them know who you really are. And you care about that person’s happiness, not just your own.
You’re also willing to work through the problems that always come with a love relationship. Just like everyone else, people in love often disagree over different things. Love means being willing to compromise. And, it sometimes means putting the other person’s needs above your own.
To learn more about what isn't love, there are also FAQs about abusive relationships here.

I totaly agree, My man and I have been living together for
over a year in a half. I moved back down to home and he came
down to see every weekend, even drove at 3 am to get there
at my place when I woke up. He would always give up his
happyness so I'm happy, and I'd always give up mine so he's
happy. We've been through hell and back and still come out
holding eachother and wanting nothing more but to be with
eachother.
Almost a year

anniversary is the 14th of this month I love him with all my

I think a boy wants to be my boyfriend but I am not sure
that he does. He asked me if I liked him as a b/f and I said
that he was a realy good friend because he realy and truly
is. Was he curious if I liked him or did he like me?
(none)

him. i just kinda blurted it out. now it's all weird between
us in real life, but when we talk on msn, everythings fine,

this is exactly how i feel about my boyfriend. when i'm with
him i'm more happy than ever. we have problems sometimes,
but we always get through them. it can be difficult, but
hey, relationships aren't supposed to be easy. it's like
school. if you slack off and do nothing, you won't get
anywhere.
I may have skipped on True Love....

I was in a relationship with this guy and he was truly
amazing!- We had our fights and we would break up, but we
always ended up back together... For about 7-8 months.. I
think we really truly did love eachother and it sounds kinda
stupid tho cuz I'm only 13 but I really did love him...
Anyways, I broke up with him cuz some other guy liked me
that lived closer and I kinda liked him too but I haven't
been able to stop thinking about the 1st guy..Am I truly in
love with him or just feeling guilty?
