how do you know your in love....I've been questioning this for a long time now...not that i think i'm in love...i just don't want to get smacked in the face when it happens...it shouldn't be a surpise though...did you know there are different types of love....i learned about that in a psychology class...which one might you be experiencing
Sternberg's triagular theory of love...involves three main qualities 1.intamacy...this doesn't refer to sex in refers to the bond that you have formed with the other person...your giving and receiving, understanding,communication,support  2. Passion...the sexuality, romance,chemistry  3.commitment...long term or short term These combine together to show different patterns of love Pattern Passion Intimacy Commitment Infatuation Yes No No (obsession) Affectionate No Yes Yes (Companion) Fatuous Yes No Yes (worship from distance) Consummate Yes Yes Yes (complete) Non-Love No No No (stranger) Liking No Yes No (friendship) Romantic Yes Yes No Empty Love No No Yes (an arranged marriage) this is just a chart though...i know i shouldn't base love on this but it's a neat way of looking at it...you can even look at it to compare if you really love some of your friends... there's no way love is a single concept... there are plenting of studies on how people love and how to have the best type of love...it all depends on what kind of tiem you want to putinto a relationship i guess well comment away...What kind of love do you think you have with your closest person |

For me, I knew that I was in love, I just didn't want to accept it... I was just living in denial. It was the greatest feeling ever!! I guess you just know when love comes your way.
