Romantic love is quite complex. It is the feeling in your brain that tells you how you feel about your partner and how the way both of you respond physically and emotionally to each other. To me, I feel that we abuse this form of love when it comes to relationships. It's all about the quantity and not the quality. I feel that we neglect our true feelings for one another and not honestly asking each other about our feelings. Sometimes we pretend to love each other just so that way we can have sex and add more notches on our "scorecards" and show off with our friends. Most guys and girls are like that. They do not truly care about the feelings of others and that is why, to me, there are many bad relationships in this world. I hate it when someone pretends that they love you, but they don't really mean it. I know there are people out there that truly care about their mates and I know they want be passionate and romantic, but again many would consider quantity and not quality. Reply to this Article

 If your in love, you'll know. Its just the most amazing feeling, ever.
It's thinking about them all the time, just waiting to see them, when you miss them so much, you cry, but when your with them, you cant stop smiling.
It's great!

 Just to add a slightly different face to what has already been said.In biological terms - there are alot of different stages of love - which can be monitored by the differing levels of horomes in your body. Testosterone is the first one to increase (either male or female) and causes you be become "sharper".The second stage involves a drop in serotin levels and an increase in dopamine and norepinephrine levels. This results in excessive sweating (extremely attractive), an increase in heart rate, dizziness, lack of appetite, lack of sleep, increased concentration levels (but only on your object of affection) as well as an increase in energy levels. Nerves come as standard. The third "long term" stage involves the hormones Oxytocin and Vasopressin (because you cant stay in the second stage forever - else youd be a total mess as I am currently finding out :/ ) I havent done too much research on these horomes but apparently they are helpful for building a long term bond between two people. What really puzzles me is the evolutionary consequences of such actions in our bodies. How on earth does not eating/ not sleeping/ becoming dizzy / nervous / sweaty help you attract anyone? Surely we should have evolved past this crap! Kind of crazy to think that our bodies may just be hard-wired to pick a mate for us and release said hormoes at the time in an attempt to attract a mate. And to think we had such a thing as free will! Ha! Innate animal behaviourisms suckkkkkkkkk. :(

When nervous or embarrassed I fidget.
When shy I kinda stay quiet, make little eye contact and sometimes find silly conversation with someone else to boost my confidence back.

"sweaty, nervous, excited, overwhelmed". Sweat patches are never good! When I'm nervous I shake. When I get excited (thank God I'm not male!) I kinda jump about. And overwhelmed? Well I doubt I look the prettiest!
Think I stand a chance at love at first sight? Lol.
True, love is a unmistakeably (word?) difficult and confusing thing, and people underestimate the power of love until they truly experience it.

 Being in love is when you are so keen on somebody that you can't wait to see them. When you are with them everything becomes magic, even the most mundane of things becomes magic. However, this is not to be confused with infatuation which may start to fade after a while. Love is when the feelings continue even when you've known that person for years. It's about feeling happy and content when you are with them and thinking about them when you are apart.
