As an introvert, it's when I realised that I'm just as happy being with them as I am being alone. I've never felt that way about anyone, ever.
Get outta here with that doomer crap, comrade. :Care-Comrade:
I didn't think the person I love would be who she is on first blush. Give people a chance and give yourself a chance. You'll find them.
After figuring out that we were comfortable sitting around each other in silence for long periods of time and it wasn't awkward.
If you're still with them after, 6, 18, 24 months, those are pretty good signs that it's not just a passing feeling. Those aren't just arbitrary numbers, by the way, those are important milestones where a lot of relationships start to fall apart.
6 was where most of mine stopped, has one get to 12, and my current one just passed 24 so I'm feeling pretty good!
When you can't imagine your future without them, practically speaking. Love is an inclination towards devotion to the person more than anything. It's not bulletproof but it's also very durable. That's been my experience.
When you're willing to put someone else's happiness ahead of your own.
Hard to say. Sometimes it hits you like a truck. Other times it sneaks up on you and you realize one day you couldn't bear to be without them
when you can recognize that their flaws are fucking awful, and they still make you happy.
I mean, there are a lot of kinds of love. but that's my fav.
The truth: you don't. All you can do is keep moving forward until one day it just kind of sets in.
I’ll ask what does it mean to be in love in the first place, or what is love?
