I completely agree with IceCreamKid, except I have to add one thing.

I've always had big problems with seeing "love" as a feeling. I don't think that's true at all. Been married 6 years, and I certainly don't always "feel" love for my wife. But that doesn't mean that I don't love her, or that we don't love each other.

Love isn't something you feel. It's a choice. It's a choosing to take this moment to make the relationship better and continue. I don't always "feel" the warm fuzzy feelings, but I always choose to make our relationship work... and so it does. Love, the choice, takes feelings into consideration, but it also continually assesses whether this person is worth my effort (and only my depression tries to assess my own worth). You're dating right now. There's no need for commitment yet, or even for love. Just spend time together when you feel like it. No pressure. At some point, when you feel you've grown to know him (or whoever else), and that you've seen them at their best AND worst, and that you STILL want to stay together for the rest of your life... now you're ready to make the choice to love.
