...smiling every time that I think about him, say his name, when I see his phone number on my cell phone
...wishing I were close enough to hold him when he's had a bad day at work
...when he tells me about a good time that he's had in the past, wishing that I had been there to experience it too
...wanting to see things through his eyes
...thanking God for bringing such a wonderful, beautiful man into my life.
I'm going through that now.. And for me it's most of what was already said here...
I can't stop thinking about her. I can't stop talking to her and about her. I can usually tell you, to the minue, how long since it was the last time we talked. And since we live so far apart, I can tell you almost precisely how far it is from my front door to hers (in feet). I've lost nearly 20 pounds in the past month because I keep forgetting to eat (she's not happy with me, she wants me to stay "plump"). All my dreams about about her, all my daydreams are about her and all my nightmares are about being without her.
More importantly, I ache to tell her that I love her. And it's killing me to wait.... :)

I think that can be true, but sometimes our first feelings are not true love, it is sometimes lust, sometimes need, sometimes wishing... and sometimes, yes, love.
I wasn't referring to the first feelings. I am referring to that feeling deep down inside that you get after you have spent the time getting to know someone. It is hard to explain.

I think you know it deep down inside when you find it. I have found it. I know he loves me because I can see it in his eyes when he looks at me. I can feel it in his touch when he holds me. I can hear it in his voice when he talks to me. I don't doubt it... I trust in it.

When you can't imagine your life without that person.
When you're so mad at them that you can't stand them... yet you can't wait to talk to them again.
When just thinking of them makes you smile.
When you've passed all the lust issues and you still want to just be in the same room as they are because you don't feel complete without them near.
I've been married 2X... still waiting on that feeling.
Well personally I know I'm in love when all I can think of is the other person and all I want to do is be with that other person and make them happy. When we connect on so many levels that it feels like we were destined to find each other. But thats just me.
