Love is a wonderful feeling that many books are dedicated to. Everyone associates it with something pure, clear. In fact, it is heaven on earth. Happiness, absolutely unclouded by anything, happiness in the heart with which everyone would like to live their whole life. Falling in love is fleeting and short-lived, it is easy to experience it and be disappointed, and in order to save your heart for real feelings, it is necessary to distinguish between these two concepts.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, it is necessary to understand that love and falling in love are two stages of a feeling of deep affection, which follow one from the other, but never go hand in hand.
Step 2
Realize being in love as a fact. This is a natural state of the beginning of a relationship, it is characterized by idealizing a partner and "hanging" on him those qualities that he does not possess. That is, of course, he has several qualities that appeal to you very much, but you do not even consider all the other qualities, you do not even think about seeing them.
Step 3
Understand that sooner or later the euphoria passes, those qualities that you did not expect to see, or saw, but ignored because you were blinded by feeling, begin to manifest. Only at this stage can you say with confidence whether there is love between you or not.
Step 4
Identify two questions as the main indicators: do you love the flaws that this person has? And do you want to continue to build a relationship with him after the initial euphoria has passed?
Step 5
If your answer to both of these questions is yes, know that this is love. After all, if we really accept a person's shortcomings, and not just accept, but we like them, and if we agree to go with this person to the end, this is love. Because falling in love is a feeling, and love is a long and painstaking work to create an ideal world for two, whose feelings for each other are mutual.
