Hey peeps. Posted quite a few times on here. Just some questions I have for those willing to answer. This is especially directed to those who have been in love or are currently in love.
Love:
What point does one consider themselves in love?
How can one tell when they are on the path towards falling in love with a person?
How can one tell if another person is in love, or starting to fall in love with them?
Is it possible for any human being in the world, regardless of religion, ethics, ethnic background, etc. to find one person who will love both sexually and for who they are?
Do females typically fall for guys who are less apt to fall in love quickly or demonstrate large affection towards their female companion or girlfriend?

I sit in this chair in awe of how you have this effect on me. It's as if I went to a pharmicist and they handed me you. When I smell you I become intoxicated by your narcotic aroma. I am addicted to you as if you were some specialized nicotine. I swallow your gaze like ecstasy. Please sedate me and do what you wish; never cease to be my personal prescribed heroin...

OK. You're asking for rational answers for something that ain't always rational. I'll give it my best.
You're in love when you can't see yourself with anyone else, ever. Somebody described to me like this: "Love is when you're both dancing like idiots and don't care. Cause she's (or he's) there."
You'll know if you're truly head over heels for someone. You get a rush when she's there. Can't stop looking at her. She can make you smile even on a bad day. Also, it has alot to do with chemistry. There are those people you just "click" with. Similar interests, whatever, you can talk for hours and never be bored.
If anybody has strong feelings for anybody, they can't hide it. The other person will be included constantly in conversation, they will subtly try to sneak looks at them, notice a brighter mood, and so on.
Sure, it's possible. A singer I know penned a song which had this verse: "...find a woman who will love me all the way. Love me with her mind, her body, her heart and soul..." Yeah I'm a romantic, so what? 
Finally, we all want what we can't have. It's in our nature. I think some do, not all. Many girls are put off however by excessive affection too soon however (the pedestal thing I mentioned in another post). Not saying be distant, just don't say "I love you." first date. I freaks many girls out when that happens. I should know, I've been on the recieving end of my female friends venting about bad dates! |

I think lucky said it all quite well!!!
I realized I was in love when I realized how much I looked forward to this guy's phone calls, and well that he had every single thing I ever dreamed of finding in a guy, and more!!! And when I stared seeing how deep and unwavering and patiently he loved me!
I knew I was on the path to falling in love when I felt every OK from God. With previous boyfriends I would have a nagging feeling in the back of my mind all the time that this was not what God wanted for me and that there was someone else. When I met this guy I was hurt and didn't want to love, but God kept prompting me and seemed to say "trust me...this is the right one for you now" having complete peace about it from God, the love just..happened!!!
When two people love each other it's hard to hide! The way they talk, the tone of voice, wanting to be around them all the time...you just know!! True love is always trying to give and do everything for the other person. Like Lucky said about dancing like idiots...when I am with my boyfriend we are pretty pathetic!! We don't get to see each other much and when we are together we are oblivious to anyone 
You certainly can find someone who will love you for who you are, for how you look, and in every way physically and just who you are!!! If someone can't love you for who you are, or just doesn't find you physically attractive, don't bother with them! I don't believe God had just one person out there for everyone. There are several you can love and get along with and you have to choose which one, but if it's not one of those selected people God's gonna try to tell you!
If a guy kissed me on my first date I would be like whoa now!! Watch your hormones! It takes a real man to wait to kiss for at least a little while, and to show affection only in the appropriate time and place!! And to wait to say I love you until they know they really do and are ready to put them selves at risk at that point of finding out if she loves of does not love you. |

Pretty much second what LA and Clare said.
One thing that I thought was interesting that Clare brought up (about being in love but having a nagging feeling that it wasn't right) was that being in love doesn't mean you should marry that person. Even when it seems like things are coming together and falling into place, if there is no peace about a decision that is as forever as marriage, it's not time. Maybe it will be, someday, but until those involved are comfortable and at peace, it's time to take things slowly. God can make water out of stones and feed those who have no food (think Exodus), He can keep someone interested until it's time if that is His plan! |

This is how one pastor i heard described love
Love: the unconditional choice to sacrifically serve one another.
Hope that helps |
