What is love? How can I tell "I'm in love"? It is not an easy question to answer. Maybe you are attracted to somebody and still you don't know whether the affinity is strong enough to be called love. It can also be more confusing to someone who's never really had any romantic ideas in their head before.
The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes. This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to define, even compared to other emotional states.
Love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for a person. When you are in love it is as if you have your best most trusted friend at your side. Love is a shared feeling between two people who have a vested interest in one another happiness.
Love has three different components: intimacy, commitment, and passion. Love should feel good. It should not feel bad. Love should make you want to be a better person, it should not lead you to do something self destructive.
And...there are no magic spells or secret tricks that will make a person suddenly feel for you...
