Am I in love?

I think love is a commitment based on character and affection and intimacy with someone, not just emotion or interest. Emotions come and go - they fade with time and come back, based on circumstances. But love is an honored commitment - a promise to stay with someone and care for them no matter what emotion or sexual temptation or hardship you face.

On a side note, a lot of guys (not implying that your boyfriend is this way) use love to elicit an effect from girls. They toy with emotion and pull at heart strings so that they can gain different insight into situations, or just so they can get into your pants. I know, because I've done it before. He may like you a lot and you may like him a lot, but just because y'all are good friends and attracted to each other doesn't equate to the kind of love that will endure the strains that a marriage goes through (financial struggles, parenting issues, growing old together, etc. ).

You're young, and will change immensely in the next few years. Make sure that any guy you give any piece of your heart to is going to stick with you and love you for who you are, not for your looks or what you will do for him, or anything. Because the truth is, your body will change, your emotions and mindset will change as you grow and develop spiritually, physically, emotionally, and personally. So accept that impending change with grace and maturity, and make sure that if you have a guy during that process that he is committed to growing with you and helping you as much as you may need or want.

In my experience I've found increasingly few guys under 24 that understand what this means and how to steward the concept of love well enough to captivate a girl's heart and not break it. Wait for the guy who truly loves you and is committed to you before you emotionally invest yourself in him.

True love is always a tough subject, because it's so subjective. But you're very young, and I would say it's probably more of an infatuation. But love isn't a feeling, it's an action verb. You can say you love someone all you want, but if there are no actions behind it, then it isn't real love. But you are young hun, there will be many guys that attract your eyes, and that you are interested in, and think about all the time. Every young girl goes through that stage. It's a time where you're looking to see whether you're beautiful and whether guys like you. But be patient hun, and be picky when it comes to finding a guy. There are many losers and jerks out there who just want sex. And these guys don't love you or care about you. But there are good guys out there, you just have to be picky and be patient.

We definitely need more information on this guy to determine if you are in love with him. Are you even dating him? Thinking about him a lot could just mean you like him. But how does he make you feel?

Yes you are in love if you can't take mind off him it feels weird but you are in love when you don't know

I would say your not in love YET, yeah you think about him all the time but because you probably care about him a lot and you think of his smile,and how he is I know but I think you really care about him right now guys are difficult somtimes but there are some really awesome guys even if they get on our nerves from time to time I think you care about a lot at least for right now good luck
