Is It Love? |
 |
Our definition of love can change over time and with different experiences. Ask yourself important questions about honesty, loyalty and thoughtfulness before determining whether you are really in love. Love at fist sight may be only lust- but lust can sometimes develop into love. Love progresses through several phases and changes over time; accepting change is important for a lasting relationship.

What Is This Thing Called Love? |
Love, everyone craves it on some level and we certainly date in an effort to find it. We use the word "love" to describe our feelings for so many things. You can love your friends, parents, pets, movies and even chocolate ice-cream. In each case we mean something a little different.
So When Is The Right Time To Say I Love You?
Say Yes, when:
| It's true. |
| You've been loyal |
| You've been wanting to say it a log time. |
| You feel overwhelmed with gratitude. |
| It seems appropriate in the heat of passion, and you know you're not just carried away, or saying what you with she wants to hear. |
| You have your partner's full attention. |
| You know it's real. |
| There is a chance it'll last. |
| You care deeply. |
| You feel it in your heart. |
| You've already told your friends about your feelings. |
Don't say it when:
| To force a return declaration. |
| When you're afraid feelings aren't returned. |
| To get something in return. |
| To convince yourself you feel it. |
| To prove you can say it. |
| To get sex. |
| Because you've always dreamed of saying it. |
| When you're not sure. |
| Because he's in love with someone else. |
| When you don't have full attention. |
| When you hardly know each other. |
| You're having complicated feelings. |
Three little words "I love you" whether whispered or shouted from the rooftop, have such impact and significance. Many of us have fears about uttering these three little words- fears of feeling silly, rejected or misunderstood. But if you truly love someone, saying "I love you" is a risk you have to take. Just make sure the time is right.
