Am I in Love?
|
The question am I in love? is one that has been asked by people for centuries, and the thing is, if we knew the criteria that were needed to be able to answer that question, we would not have to keep asking it. So many other things can be mistaken for love, and it is hard to distinguish them from the real thing. Infatuation can happen frequently in a persons life. It is perfectly normal to become infatuated with another person now and then. It tends to be one-sided, although it can be mutual, and it can even turn into love in some instances. More often than not, however, it is not love. Infatuation happens because you meet someone who has certain qualities that you admire greatly usually qualities that you would like to develop in yourself to a greater degree. Infatuation can disappear as easily as it appears, too. Infatuations tend to be outgrown. When you are asking yourself am I in love? you may want to go over the symptoms of infatuation and see if it might be that instead. Many times we convince ourselves that we are in love when we are trying to escape from stress. Whether it is a bad situation at home, a life filled with too much responsibility, or a stressful job, there may be things in your life that are weighing you down, and being swept off your feet by someone who is paying extra attention to you can be a wonderful distraction. Even if the relationship is fairly new or normally you would think that the person is all wrong for you, at this particular time you may be feeling vulnerable enough to convince yourself that this is the real thing. After all, if its the real thing then it could help improve your life, right? Stop and take a deep breath and ask yourself some hard questions. Start with am I in love? and then follow with or could I be and then fill in the blanks. This is not to say that when you feel you may be in love you will always be wrong. It is simply a way of respecting real love enough to cast aside all imposters. Real love is exciting but it is also comfortable. It stands the test of time. You owe it to love and to yourself to make sure you know the real thing. About The Author: Balva Rudick is the Editor and Publisher of Article Click.
