How do you know if your in love?
In relation to my other post. (if u didnt read it ill re-cap)
Theres this girl i cant stop thinking about, i mean, constantly thinking about, and not always in a sexual way, just thinking about how shes doing etc.
I find myself having a bad day untill i see her, and when i dont see her for more than 2-3 days im all depressed that were not together.
i just wanted peoples opinions on how to know if your really in love or just a crush
There is a theory right now that makes a lot of sense. Romantic love is a developed form of one of three primary brain networks that evolved to direct mammalian reproduction.The sex drive evolved to motivate individuals to seek sex with any appropriate partner. Attraction, the mammalian precursor of romantic love, evolved to enable individuals to pursue preferred mating partners, thereby conserving courtship time and energy.And the brain circuitry for male-female attachment evolved to enable individuals to remain with a mate long enough to complete species-specific parenting duties.What is love? I believe it's simply a combination of chemicals. It may sound like it kills the romanticism of it all, but that's the way I see it.When you feel strongly for someone, what's happening in the brain is your high levels of dopamine and norpenephrine and probably low levels of seratonin gives you that obsessive thinking.
well that is a question that can probably never really be answered for sure. that is how i feel right now about my girlfriend and it drives me nuts when im not with her lol. i believe that it could possibly be love that you are in. i believe that i am too.
lol, yea, love is a bunch of chemicals but, its the feelings that r important not the biological processes that cause them.anyway, no1 can tell u if ur inlove or not, thats sumthing u just know.anyway, good luck working this all out
I just realized I left out my conclusion. lolThe feeling of love is defined differently from person to person. Therefore, the answer you are looking for is going to be a problem because you're asking the wrong questions. What is your definition of love? That's something that can be answered with life's experiences.
Because she tells you!Mr. Nuts
well let me ask this, how did you feel when you thought u were in love ?
you get that warm fuzzy feeling inside you and you see little blue birds and cupid floating around your head lol jk I don't know for me usually it takes a while. Like for me... there's no such thing as love at first sight. My love for Julian is not LOVE LOVE it's just... teeny bopper love. so it's kind of hard to tell.
i don't love so i can't tell u.
Good question.I fell in love once.I felt like she was the one that could truly make me happy for the rest of my life. If saving her meant me dying, I wouldn't hesitate to save her. She knew everything about me, good and bad, and with it she held my world in the palm of her hands.That's how I felt.
I dated a guy for two years, and I really thought I was in love but I know now being out of it I wasn't it was more of an obsession type of thing, and I made myself believe that I was in love. After that relationship, I dated around for a little, and made a promise to myself that i will never tell someone else I love them just because everyone else is doing it, or becaues they tell me, or because i think i am.I am now in a different relationship, we've been together for over a year, and we have NOT told eachother we love eachother. I care for him more than I have ever cared for anyone else who knows it may be love, it may not be. We've talked about a future together, but both of us know that we've been screwed over in the past and to say that we are in love with eachother if we really aren't is just not for us. But for all you know you are in love. Just follow your heart, if you feel like you really love this person then tell them, and don't listen to anyone else. And if it turns out not to be love, at least you know and you were able to expirience this. If it's not a forever thing, then it will def. be a learning thing. Best of luck though!
