When you have a secret little smile on your face that you can't help and a glow that people start commenting on ...Edited 12-Dec-22 12:49pm

One thing is for sure, you cannot force someone to love you. move on.....

To love is to risk getting hurt, but to live and never have loved, is to never really have lived. I have said this over the past many years to ppl. How do you really know, well you don't, and only time tells if you are really both matched, on all levels. I have seen that if ppl are only matched say on a physical level, it won't last (that's just lust not love). Trust your instincts. Be honest, put it out there. Must be brave, if love is not reciprocated, then it was not meant to be. (but don't be telling someone you love them on your second date!! It gets easier the more you do this process though. I have been with my partner 40 years, so yer you gotta work on it EVERYDAY. - bc love can drift away..... gd luck.... If you see someone that you like, ask her out for a coffee. Start slow. If she declines, well nothing lost, nothing gained, move on..

Sometimes love isn't the best, we can love for the wrong reasons, our eyes dominate our feelings, things will change. ( no they do not) Our eyes rule when they shouldn't. This love does not last unfortunately.

Love grows with the years. Yes we love our kids but with a different love. To love someone unconditionally takes many years. Love, lust and hate are very closely associated, until we have matured to understand takes a very long time.

Butterflies for each of you.

You can tell her how you feel! The worst that can happen is nothing since you say she feels the same. Go with your gut.

Prayer and honest conversation, don't over think it, and never be afraid to put your self out there.

I believe that there is a difference between love and lust. First off lust is when you first meet someone and you feel deeply that you like this person however in hindsight it usually doesn't work out. Love is all-encompassing. It drives you to abandon logic. There is a range of emotions associated with love, ranging from affection, trust, warmth, and respect for another person. You also have a sense of passion, intimacy, and commitment, usually combined with sexual desires and arousal if you are looking at a romantic type of love. This is caused by your body's cortisol levels giving you a racing heart and butterflies. This can too happen with infatuation. However love is, in my opinion, one that at times can be difficult but worthwhile to keep and pursue. We all need love in our lives so I do not limit this to partners but also to our children and animals as well. I have been fortunate to have loved 2 men in my life and consider myself to be so very lucky.Edited 05-Feb-21 13:42pm

When you're partner wacks you on the arse and screams your in love.

Your heart will do wee jumps of joy when ever you think about that special person.

It is a very natural feeling, that person just gels into everything. You can read each other's minds, and generally have the same line of thinking as each other. Your body language will speak in greater volumes than anything else when you are near that person.

EDITH V I WILL USE CAPITALS BECAUSE I WANT TO NOT BECAUSE I'M SHOUTING (NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE) I AM A LITTLE SHORT SIGHT IS THAT OK WITH YOU!!!!!!!!

You can't stop obsessing over them

If only he loved me like I love him.....

Love is just another four letter word

when you realise you cant be without them .

When you are married as long as me at 56 years.

If you are really in love, you will know it. It isn't the same fir everyone, but you will know what your symptoms mean when you feel them.

You stop eating!

Also it can be hard to tell a person how you feel, you put up a front of sarcasim or stand offish it's hard for some guys to admit they love a woman very much

IT TAKE A LONG TIME TO FALL IN LOVE. YOU HAVE TO BE FRIENDS FIRST, OTHERWISE IT DOESN'T WORK. WHEN I FIRST MET MY WIFE 45 YEARS AGO I DIDN'T EVEN LIKE HER. TODAY, I COULDN'T IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT HER.

I always found being painfully honest and direct with women usually works...you would probably be the first person to do that with them for several months, if not years...the worst thing that could happen is absolutely nothing ...which is what you have now....

Takes a little time, but when you know you know. Both sides should feel the same!

You don't say "I love you" 'til you get to know her, you feel attraction at first sight so stay cool go on dates ,enjoy her company .There is a big difference between liking & loving.

Double secret jeopardy "We search for love til it finds us In finding, we find it binds us" etc, etc etc ... there is more, much too long for a short segment ... ... so it has been said and written, by I, myself and me alone.

Love turns up unexpected in places you would not expect.

Yeah it happens.

IT'S THERE WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT I MET A FELLOW AT A DANCE BACK IN 1969 HIT IT OFF MARRIED 6 MONTHS LATER STILL LOVE EACH OTHER EVERY DAY AND GET ON BETTER NOW THAN WE DID WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER 50 YEAR WEDDING ANN. LAST YEAR

I met my husband when i was 12 years old I did not like him at first and then as we became older we became good friends and relise we had a lot of the same liking this year is going to be our 30th year wedding anniversary.

Express your love in letters, cards or poems. I know it's old fashioned but ladies find it romantic.

The word "love" covers so many different things - like love for your children, love for your neighbour, love for your parents and brothers and sisters, and then romantic love. I'm finding it a bit difficult to know exactly what you mean when you say "a lady that you do like", as I like many ladies that I don't have any romantic attachment to or feelings for.

Thunderstruck ...... not unlike a bolt of lightning .......... couldn't get home to him quick enough (I lived in Melbourne, he in Ballarat); was utterly miserable during the week until I did ........Edited 02-Feb-21 13:35pm

A lot of people get Love and Lust mixed up, if you really want to be with someone not just for sex, and to have children with you may have your answer.

love is love

When you heart skips a beat just looking at the person

probably blush

i think its knowing the other persons faults but still being able to love them no matter how much they annoy the crap out of you

Love starts with smile eachother

When your heartbeat's faster when you think of that person and when you just can't wait until you can see them again.

I am 77 and I don’t know what love is. Only that for my children

When you stick it out through thick and thin!

When you feel a certain chemistry between you both, something special could be in the air, who knows?

Once the Boooiinnngg settles and your looking to spend the rest of your life together then that’s love. Many people don’t let it settle and then split up down the line...lol Oh well...

when she pats you on your bum an says ' your in love '

When all you want to do in your life is be with that person. I have been married for 45 years and my love for him will never change, he is my life.

I believe in love at first sight, and if you don't succeed try try again until you catch someone.

I guess it just happens and hits you like a sledge hammer!!!

Love is said to be the key core of Ancient Egyptian Civilization. Goddess Hathor is the Ancient Egyptian Goddess of Love. Pharaonic civilization is said to be filled with love stories, written in papyrus and on the walls of temples and tombs. There are many poems and songs which 'would be' couples often used as dedication to the one they love, to tell them they're in love! A lot like modern times in our present world! :-)Edited 02-Feb-21 08:25am

Love can’t be defined by just saying it,it is something grows over time,it’s a state of mind that everything about the person you love fills with you with contentment & satisfaction,love doesn’t stagnanate it is warm,caring,infective I still tell the love of my life after 57 years of marriage that I love her every day.

blam... you just go mad, cupids arrow hits and reality is your in love the madness prevails for the rest of your natural, all be it it changes over time....

don't know i think in happens over time

Not sure there is such a thing. 47 years ago I thought there was. Maybe there is as I have been married for 47 years. Looking back it has been bloody hard work.

If it's real love ,no words are necessary.

don't know - never REALLY been in love - however - I was marry once - get alimony from my ex-spouse (wife) - now - for decades - determine to outlive her (ex- wife) by (at least) one day - that doesn't feel like unrequited love on my part - besides - because of a NIGHTMARISH childhood - the only person I am truly capable of loving is MYSELFEdited 02-Feb-21 09:59am

A great desire to make the other person happy!

ITS ALL IN THE JEANS

Usually you hate pink, but at this time you suddenly think pink is beautiful, and you are probably in love.

Love develops over time
