???Love Question of the Day???

So all you romantics out there, how do you know when you are really in love? What are your tell tell signs that you have "fallen" over the edge? For me it is like that person takes over my life like an obsession. My every waking thought has something to do with them. Cheryl

I've only been in love once, with the man I married (he's the only guy I ever dated) and we've been together for half of our lives (since 16 years old). I think I knew I loved him right away, I was so insecure and convinced that he was too good for me. I tried over and over to push him away and he just kept telling me I was lovable and that I had worth. Now that's true love. His love has always been unconditional. The guy who married us once made the statement that true love is not a feeling it is a choice you make everyday because eventually that woozy feeling wears off and I believe he was right. ~~Jaimee

I don't think we are all lucky enough to find true love. I always have been a large woman. The insecurity that brought to my life made it difficult to deal with anyone especially those of the opposite sex. I was so stand offish(sp) because I was afraid of what they thought and would say about me. I am sure I never gave most men a chance to be close to me. Thank God my husband was mature enough to see beyond the cold sholder. He was the first man to actually come after me. Love him? I worship the ground he walks on because he helped me to live. Without him I would still be living in an apartment above someone elses house teaching other peoples kids and just sort of living. No woozy feeling lasts that long. You are so right Jaimee. Sorry to carry on so long.

Good question. I think it is different for everyone but, as for me... when the thought of being without them causes you pain...that means you have "fallen".

For me was the realization that we thought alike, liked the same things, enjoyed being together, wanted the same things. We were sweethearts in high school and I was luck enough to be married to my best friend for 40 years before his death. I think a lot about "love" now. It has awhole different meaning. I am not sure I can ever love that deeply again. Sandy
