How do you know if your in love?

Medarris โ€”

OK, I know that a lot of people have made topics on love before from different angles but I havent been involved in those topics and perhaps some of them occurred before I graced this forum with my presence, lol!!!

Basically, I want to know how do you know if your in love? What are the signs and symptoms of this disease. And pls I am referring to boy-girl love so keep to this type of love, im NOT chatting about brotherly, filial, paternal love etc.

(Dont go get any ideas, im only asking)

Hey you can be self-obsessed and not have all the things you have mentioned above, thats called being "selectively self-obsessed" pick and choose, keep the obsession leave the symptoms

let me deviate this thread back to the origional subject

are you in love if your obsessed with your partner , keep thinking bout them constantly or do you have some kind of psychological disorder?

maybe love is an disorder?

maybe its a type of drug?

maybe it does not exist just hollywood fantasy?

its none of them, if it was a disorder surely the cure would have been discovered by now....love is far more complicated than that.

love is a state of ecstacy, and that aint a bad thing

its a drug, a disorder, a disease indeed........but that aint a bad thing

how can love be described as a 'disorder' or 'disease' (unless we're talking bout the 'infatuation' type)? as angel sed, its far more complex than that. its summat natural, difficult to understand for those of us who havent experienced it yet i guess.

I agree with Aasiyah the infactuation type of love can be considered as a disease, but "true" love is an entirely diff. thing.

lol......your heartless

Only Yesterday Med and Irf were stating what they want from thier wife, and if that wasnt love - what is?

The Prophet ๏ทบ loved mankind

*DUST* โ€” Thu, 3 Nov 2005 - 01:05

some scenarios

1. you meet a girl , you like her ,get on really well and want to be togheter, you get married and live happily ever after )

2. your getting old , ask your parents to find you a partner, you get married, learn all new things bout each other and grow to love each other, you live happily ever after )

3. you meet a girl , fall in love, cant stop thinking bout her, buy presents, valentine all those mushy romantic stuff, you get married have kid, wife complains you dont do all those mushy romantic things , they think love gone out of there relationship , they divorce cry

that is what love can do

Sirus โ€” Thu, 3 Nov 2005 - 01:08

Islam was spread by love, showing compassion to others, through serving humanity - all forms of expressing love

if you dont have love for your neighbour, what does that say about you?

and bro.......u love ur wife or not dont bother me lol ๐Ÿ˜‚

[quote="Raf786"]only girls and hayder believe in love

[/quote]

Thats the most silliest thing ever!

Are you trying to say that your dad doesn't love your mum?

Love is a good thing which brings ppl together and which helps the basis of a marriage.

You know if you're in love because you'll be prepared to commit to being with, caring about and respecting that person for as long as you both live to the exclusion of other whims and desires. Once you make that commitment it becomes a two-way deal and it is wise to shore it up with compassion, fun, generosity and impeccable behaviour. People who claim to be incapable of love should live alone in the mountains.

Got to say alot of people are more in love with the idea of being in love then actually being in love, I hope that make sense :?

I personally believe that true love only incur after years of being together. I am in no doubt that I will not be in love with the woman that I marry, but she will have my respect and I would admire her. I personally believe that love only come after years of marriage and when people have experience hardship and their relationship is still strong. It about the ability of each parnter being able to cover each other fault and knowing the your partner weaknesses and still loving them for it. Baically it about companionship and you only realise that you have that after a certain period of time IMO.
