How do you know you're in love with someone, and what does that mean and what does it entail?
If you have a girl/boyfriend, how do you know when you've fallen in love them, and what can you do to make sure you're not feeling that sensation prematurely and are being more mature about it all.
When is it appropriate to first drop the L-bomb and tell them you love them?

To love is to suffer the silence, so don't tell, just endure through the suspense.

You'll know when you feel it yourself. It's impossible to explain.

Correct. Just don't confuse lust with love. Trying to explain love is impossible, as different people attach different feelings to their emotions.

Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

Very important point. Like my father said: "Don't ever confuse "needs" with what you want". Perhaps it gets lost in translation:/

How do you know? She'll tell you.
What does it entail: Pain.
Kidding. When you wake up and can't imagine living without that person, that's a clue. There's no substitute for that feeling you get when she walks into the room and your heart skips a beat as seeing her. I've been married to my highschool sweetheart since 1988 and I still get that feeling when I see her. Maybe she's just coming downstairs in the morning and I'm already up and making coffee. But her presence, after not seeing her even for 5 minutes, still makes my heart soar. Corny, but true.

Why? Many of us are married and/or hooked up.

I know people keep telling you that you'll know when it happens, but that's because it's true. It's just something that you know, and you won't be confused about it when it comes.

I agree, love is something that you will know it when it hits. I agree with rambo47, very well stated.

When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore

Gee, thanks, now you've got that Van Halen song stuck in my head. And not the good stuff they did with Dave, either....
How do I know when it's love
I can't tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when it's love
It's just something you feel together
When it's love
Quite insightful, yet it doesn't really say anything useful. Sums up the concept quite nicely, I think.

You won't be confused about it, that's true.. but it may come as a surprise. You may fall in love with someone you wouldn't expect to, I mean.
Else, rambo47 nailed it. Corny, but true.
Even so, there are many ways to look at it. However you *will* know when it happens. You will care for her more or at least as much as you care about yourself. You know how you love your family? Well, that is love. You already know love.
It isn't hard to recognize when you think about it.
cheers

If you have to ask, you're not in love.

Sometimes you may be confused...living with a friend, things go all the right way etc. Lover happens, and one night they poop in your kitchen. You must accept this, this may be the flow of Love.

When it will get you laid.
Joking. Whenever it feels right.

Love works in strange flows. I always say: go with the flow of love. Also, if you are in love, there will be red hearts around your head.

If you are in love, you needn't ask others about it on an Internet forum.
