You’ve got butterflies, good
conversation, maybe even great sex,
but sometimes it can be difficult to
be sure if it’s love. How do you
decipher whether the feeling in the
pit of your stomach is the nervous
quivering of anticipation or
yesterday's lunch?
Here are some tell-tale signs that it
just be might be love, love, love.
You are best friends. You laugh with
them more than anyone else. The
feelings of anticipation, passion, and
connection are mutual. You remember
little things about each other like
their favorite foods, the places they
want to visit and why, their views on
everything from politics to fashion,
and what they love about their closest
buddies, but is it enough? Take a look
at these signs to be sure.

~*~*~Tips before you commit:
Take the time to compare who you have
with who you know deep down that you
desire and deserve. Likewise, compare
the relationship you have with the one
you know you really want.
Pay attention to how they treat their
friends, family, business associates,
and strangers. This is a good
indication of how they will treat you
over time and a big insight into their
overall character.
Ask yourself how well you know them
and how well they know you.
