How can you diagnose if its love and not lust? (by PureGold)

So many times what pple call love is nothing but lust. Saying 'I love u' 100 times, buying of gifts, going outing to have fun etc is not a proof of love. You can't diagnose love by any action bcos it can be pretense. It is d space of time and life's challenges that u can use to diagnose love. If true,how can u say u love someone u met online,someone you have not even spent time with? Ask yourself this question...am I really in love?

I determine love by the way that person makes me feel. Not by what he says or how much he spends....but by the lil things that don't have to be done. Even with an online relationship....u can love someone cuz u love from ur heart not ur mind, so u don't have to be in their presence to love them, u just need to feel it on the inside by the way they make u feel like no one else does

I know when it is real because I'm comfortable in my skin and I'm not afraid to be away from them. My life is still mine even though I am sharing it with someone else. If we are next to each other in silence and I'm not worried that something is wrong then I know that there is something genuine. When they truly make your life better and don't take anything away from you, then i think you know :)

@Jjd614: u are correct. Love begins when u see d person face to face and start spending time with d person. It grows with time and made strong by d storms of life. So most of those random testimonies of some persons on this site are just child's play. Dating.mobi has created d platform for pple to meet each other(thanks to them) but they can't fall in love for us. Truth is bitter but must be spoken

@Briteeyes: love is not something people make u feel but what u grow with time. Feelings don't determine love cos feelings can be wrong. Also 'Feelings' is an emotional sensation that comes and go. You have not seen him but only heard his voice. Are u in love with his voice or his sweet words? These are one of d many reasons why there are so many divorce cases bcos pple fall in and out of love easily. Take time to build ur love b4 u proceed to d altar.

I disagree....people that have met get divorces so even face to face doesn't work. Feelings are emotions, love is an emotion, u don't fall in love with words, or a voice, u fall in love with the person u are growing to know as an individual. many times people meet and shortly afterwards the man leaves for the military, they still can love from a distance even if they just met. Love for me is great physically, but that's not the definition of love
