Pavarotti (the opera singer) once said, "If you know right when you fall in love & how you fell in love, then you're not in love."

And I really liked that answer. :thumbsup:

Because I've always wondered how can you explain love? :scratch:

All I know, is this the 1st time I've ever really been in love with someone (with my bf).

Yes, I loved my ex-husband.....but I don't think I was ever really "in love" with him, because when our marriage ended....I was more upset about our family splitting up, then I was missing him.

Kinda agree with that quote.

How did you know you were in love?
When I found myself really weighing my new rules on LDR. When my heart could be itself and still have a great time. And I knew she could do the same. When really felt close to her, cause I saw myself in her.

How long did it take?
...not too long really. More I helped her, more I could see what she couldn't see. More we talked, the more I realized how special she was. More I wanted to help her realize that.

What signals did you send to show you were?
We are both playful, I finally admit it. "Like two hearts trying to be friend, but they wanted more." I have a gift for honousity =P

How long did it take you to ADMIT you were in love?
Sometimes I feel bad about this. I mean I just wanted to help her and talk with her. I was the one that said "patience" and "slow it down", but didn't take long to crack under the weight of my growing love. Like week and half or slightly shorter lol

How did you know you were in love?

There was never one moment, it kinda just happened.

How long did it take?

We said "I love you" 1 week after our 2 month 'anniversary', so kinda quick. :p

What signals did you send to show you were?

We both kinda just knew. We tease each other A LOT, and from about 3-4 weeks into our relationship I jokingly would say "I hate you" when he was teasing me, with a smile on my face so he knew I was joking. He would usually reply "you love me" and my only response to that would be a smile. I didn't admit it though till he said it first. Even though he said he was only using that response to get me to admit to something that he already knew. So, we kinda gave signals and we kinda didn't. :p

How long did it take you to ADMIT you were in love?

I told him I loved him after he had told me he loved me and that was a little over two months into the relationship.

:)

he became my best friend, the person i could trust with all i had, he made me feel safe,made me laugh, and hes the guy who i know ill love 50 years from now!!
i think that it took a good 8 months for me to start really feeling that burst of love,and then after a year,year and a half I KNEW he WAS and IS the one!!!
haha signals, well he would hold my hand, he would stay up till sunrise talking to me, he wouldnt let me win all teh arguments!
it took him 8 months and same here to say we loved each other and then over time, i realize more and more just what that really means...

i do love him more than anything thanks for this thread!

I've started getting those sort of thoughts in my head, but have remained silent about it. The other day he said "you're the best girlfriend I've ever had"...so I guess...maybe he is getting those thoughts as well? :D :p
