Every day I just can’t wait to talk to next and can’t wait to see him for whatever reason. Every time I think of him, I feel happier than the moment before. Every moment we spend together full with wonderful memories; where we can share everything and anything; comforting each other; encourage and build up others. Now, I know I’m in love when I feel an overwhelming sense of complete surrender and awe for him and a feeling of completeness when we’re together. Yes! It’s really love; not crush or infatuation.

Love is a condition of the heart and mind. True love is a two-way street–the other person feels the same way about you as you feel about them. Love is a complete acceptance of the other person, and of oneself. Love is hard to find. Sometimes you thing you’re in love, only to find out afterwards that it was not love. Every time you see him your heart beats like a drum machine in overdrive and you can barely catch your breath. But are you obsessed with him for all the wrong reasons or are this real thing? Understand the real meaning of love and ask yourself a few questions below, than you know you’re really in love or just a big crush.

# Love is not jealousy

If you’re truly deeply in love, there’s no jealousy. Jealousy only happens to teenage love. It’s a feeling of insecure and immature heart. Often, one person wants to totally posses the other and to restrict her relationships with others.

# Love is not arrogant

Love is not conceited, boastful, cocky or stuck-up. Love, instead, is humble and has servant attitude. If your relationship encounter any problem than both of you will having a good discussion trying to solve it. There’s no word, It’s your fault! or I can take you or leave you. Of course, this is not love.

# Love is not provoked

This means that love has a long fuse. It does not become irritated and angry. It is not easily offended. Love does not seek its own. This is the heart of love. Love is other-centred rather than self-centred. Love says, “I love you, I want to give to you.” Selfishness says, “I love you, I want you!”

# Love always Perseveres

Love always stands its ground and holds out. Love never gives up and it will outlast anything. It will even love in the face of unreturned love. Real love will last though all sorts of trials, tribulations and stresses.

# Love is not brag

If a guy tries to impress the girl so that she will like him, it’s not love. Love is not windbag and is not anxious to impress. A truly great person who really in love, however, does not need to exalt himself! Others will exalt him.

# Love always covers

This word cover means to pass over in silence, to keep confidential. Love is patient with the faults of others. It doesn’t criticize and broadcast to the world the faults of others. Love is there even when it knows the other is not perfect.

# Love does not act unbecomingly

This means that love does not behave disgracefully or indecently. It does not embarrass others by its action. It is characterized by tact and sensitivity. This also means that love should have good manners. Be sure to do little things like opening doors for your girl, or offering her your arm when you walk together.

# Love is forgiving

Lastly, this is a MUST for a successful love story. If a guy not willing to forgive and forget when his girlfriend is one hour late, he is not exhibiting love. Love doesn’t hold grudges when it has been wronged. It doesn’t remain resentful. Remember this: Love forgets past failures and sins.

ASK YOURSELF!

1. What actually I really want from this relationship?
2. Would I be willing to let her/him go if I believe it was the best thing?
3. Am I happy with the way things are?
4. Would I feel the same way if she/he gained weight?
5. Who can I talk to when things get tough?
6. Do I respect or admire her/him?
7. If you two are in an argument, would you feel the same way?
8. Am I willing to sacrifice my dream to allow her/him dreams come true?
9. Would I feel the same way if she/he gets sick?
10. Am I feeling pressured or am I pressuring?

If one of your answers is NO or NOT SURE that’s mean you’re not yet in true love; but if you say YES to the entire question and very COFIDENT with your answers, its mean there’s a chance your crush could develop into a deep, meaningful and life-long love.
