Question

[quiregrrl]

For those of you still around and reading in LJ land, please feel free to weigh in on this one...

how do you (you personally, not generic youse) know you're IN love with someone? what's the defining difference between the love you feel for a partner-type-person, and the love you feel for a good friend, or family member, or favorite author, or activity, or that thing you own??

I'm pondering on the different kinds of love and the intersections of partnership, friendship, family, sex and romance... and I'm interested in others' thoughts...

Thanks honey :-) I like "heady spasticness", that's such an apt description!! I've not thought about "in love" requiring reciprocation... I'm prone to crushes, and unrequited love, but i think you're right, the "in love" thing is a mutual thing... Hmmm... more pondering, thank you for giving me more things to think about! xo
