How do you know when you REALLY love someone?

[covergrl80]

1. You know, because you have been told by your significant other, that your deep feelings are returned in kind.

2. The object of your affections makes you feel special and good about yourself.

3. If/when you feel jealous it is always fleeting; you trust your partner not to betray you or hurt your relationship.

4. Nothing makes you feel as serene as when you and your partner are together.

5. When you fight with your partner you usually make up within a few hours and you always agree that nothing is more important than you both being able to express your true feelings (even if they sometimes cause conflict).

6. Your partner never asks you to choose between him/her and your loyalties to your family and friends - if you do choose him/her over them you always have a good reason and it is always YOUR decision, and your decision alone.

7. Neither you or your partner feel the need to test the other's loyalties or feelings.

8. You are more yourself when with your partner than you are with anybody else.

9. If sex is part of your relationship it is by mutual desire and agreement without the slightest hint of commitment testing or persuasion.

when you can openly talk about the frequency of your bowel movements and ask about their texture/consistency.

OK since no one has yet addressed this issue I will. Here goes, there are 3 types of love and this is their hierarchy when referencing spiritual/emotional development.

1. Eros - the sexual love between a man and woman.

2. Philos - platonic love - parent/child love, love of a friend or sibling, etc.

3. Agape - the love of mankind.

Does this help any of you?

One can not take the place or make up for another.

Love is a big pink bunny. It's a big Goddamn pink bunny.

Curious here... are you questioning your feelings for him or his feelings for you?
