If you ask each person what the word "love" means, there will be a huge number of definitions. This is love for the homeland, and taste preferences, and attitude towards the surrounding objects. But in most cases, associations arise with the emotional state of a person, the manifestation of feelings. Sometimes a person cannot determine whether it is love or a habit.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine what your love for the chosen one is based on. Are you ready to make a person's life better, happier; ready to help each other in difficult times; do you have common interests and thoughts? If so, then you have sympathy for the person. Sympathy can be experienced for a very long time, it is characteristic of friends.
Step 2
Feel if you are sexually attracted to the chosen one? If in his presence you are aroused, then you have passionate love. Such love is often the result of a search for vivid emotions and novelty.
Step 3
Analyze the totality of common interests and sexual attraction. Their combination suggests that romantic love reigns in the couple. This is the sweetest period in the relationship. But, as a rule, it can remain long only with young partners.
Step 4
Don't assume that passion is the dominant emotion in a serious relationship. It is inappropriate to say "I love" only because of sexual desire. Blind love doesn't bode well. You will be forced to endure everything from your beloved for the bliss in bed.
Step 5
Strive for perfect love when each partner is willing to keep it forever. For this case, it is ideal when you become friends (there is no love without friendship), lovers and like-minded people at the same time for each other.
Step 6
Try not to get addicted to the person you love. If you live according to the principle "at least someone is nearby", then you have false love. In this case, you risk becoming a victim of some emotional sadism.
Step 7
Don't think of intense jealousy as a manifestation of tremendous love. Jealous people are big egoists, they are driven by a desire to rule and completely control a partner. Explain to your loved one that he should trust you.
Step 8
If your relationship is good, then enjoy the happiness. Do not torment the chosen one and do not torment yourself if you feel a chill in the relationship.
