Know if You Are Loved and Not Lusted

It is difficult to be able to identify a person's true feelings. Sometimes they can be hidden very well and sometimes they are easy to spot. There are a few tests which can be done, so decisions can be made based on reaction comparisons.

Steps

  1. Determine what makes the person feel happy. The idea behind love really is to be happy when others are. If you notice that this person is happy for your success, well-being, and joy, they are more likely to love you.
  2. Stay away from this person for a while, purposefully. This means no phone conversations, no instant messaging, and disrupt any communication methods that you both use. If you come across them again in a few weeks or perhaps even a month, take note of their excitement. You can tell whether they really missed you or not at all.
  3. Change your looks. Put a bit of style, something that makes you look different, not strange nor less attractive but enough to make people notice. If this person does not notice such a change until you tell them, or doesn't say anything about it but still speaks to you just like nothing has happened there is a very high probability of love.
  4. If you have just gone into a relationship try taking your time beforehand the next time. Make that person earn your trust, make them really love you for what you are; if there is a lot of rushing, chances are higher for lust.



Tips

  • Take your time, and don't jump to conclusions.
  • Get involved: Tell this person that you want to get to know their friends (especially those of your same sex) and become friends with them. They might reveal some things you would not be able to tell if you didn't know this person well enough.
  • Be wise when you agree to someone's choices: Think before, during and after the events this decision might bring, deduct possibilities, have different plans for different situations. This can help you cope with most problems better and will also prepare you in advance.

Warnings

  • Consider that your decisions can also have an impact on your relationship.
  • When you get involved pay the same amount of interest to this person and to their friends.
