When do you know that you are in love? If I had even just a nickle for every time I was asked that one simple question I swear I'd be on a beach in Fiji throwing back fruity drinks with swivel sticks and bathing in my own money. I know it seems like a question that should have a definitive answer but truthfully it just may possibly be the most difficult question to answer of all time.
The truth of the matter is love is a funny thing and at different stages of our lives it can hit us in a buffet of different ways. The word love has a specific meaning to almost everyone but the way we judge the word love isn't always as black and white as we'd like to believe it is.
For example: The head over heals teenager at the peak of his/her life just recently being introduced to the concept of love sees is far more clearly and definitively then say the conscientious 30 year old who's just finding his/her self and wants to make the right choices about love. For the teenager love is holding hands and pitter patting hearts and roses and flowers and sweetness and gardens. Its so easy to love when your young. You have little in the way of expectations and the slightest notice from the lover you are seeking can easily ignite a frenzy of explosive exciting emotions. Love is so innocent at this age and to the beholder ( young and naive) everything feels like love.
For the 30 year old love is still blissful but is slightly more reserved and definitely comes with more expectations. the 30 year old is not only concentrating on bliss but worries about values, emotions, living arrangements, family, children and about a million other factors when falling in love. It is not as cut and dry as the teenage love and more then likely the 30 year old has felt what appeared to be love ( and then loss) many times before and so it becomes different. now.
