"Real love" is a feeling - not an action. Love comes within, not outside. Love is something that you want to give to someone - not just your BODY but your soul ~ you would do ANYTHING, even to the point of giving up your life for someone - that's real love.

Love is both giving and receiving - but it is unselfish too. You don't put conditions on your love. If a man say "if you'll sleep with me, I'll love you" -- that's not real love. That's lust. If a man only tells you he loves you in bed, that's not real love. That's lust. If a man says "if you really loved me, you'll go to bed with me" - that's not love. That's lust.

When you REALLY fall in love with someone -- you'll know it. Nothing else will matter. You will think of no one else but this man. You will be walking on air; you will want nothing else to do with anyone else but him; you won't be able to sleep or eat; just the sight of him will put butterflies in your stomach; just hearing his voice on the phone makes your heart flutter. This might stop after 5 years. LOL But the love will never go away.

Yes, you'll know when it happens. It might take time. Be patient. God bless. Hugs, Lee
