Seriously guys, love is about commitment, trust, security, and being able to tolerate someone's bullshit for the long haul.
It is not about how hot they are, or even obsessively thinking about them.
Infatuation involves an IDEALIZED view of a person. Here's a hint: if you've only known someone for a few months, you don't love them, you are infatuated with them.
Real love is something that lasts YEARS. It's based on things like friendship, and understanding, and caring and overcoming bad things and getting through fights with each other, and seeing the worst of each other and still caring about that person.
You're talking about the difference between lust and infatuation, not the difference between lust and love.
You're young, though, so you don't know yet, I guess.
You can't quantify love. Not by years. Not by the number of obstacles you overcome. Not by anything. Infatuation can turn into love.click to expand

How to Recognize True Love
1
Examine whether you treat the object of your interest as a person or a thing. You care for this person even knowing his or her faults. You are committed to sticking together even through the most difficult circumstances. You can tell this person anything about yourself, even if the truth doesn't flatter you, and you know that your partner will accept you.
2
evaluate how secure you feel. You know that your partner will stand by you no matter what, and you are prepared to commit to your partner for the rest of your life.
3
Think about how long you've been in the relationship. You have known the person for a long time, and you can't imagine life without him or her.
4
Observe how sex affects your feelings. After you have sex with your partner, you feel closer to him or her. For you, affection and post-coital cuddling are just as important as sex, although you love to keep the flame alive.
5
Analyze the way that you're thinking about the other person. Something funny has happened to you at work, and you can't wait to tell your partner. Alternatively, you've had a bad experience, and you want to talk to someone who will understand. If your partner is the first person that you think about when you want to share your innermost thoughts, then you may be in love.
6
Look at how you handle conflict. When you have an argument with your partner, you keep working until you're able to find some common ground. No argument can erase your commitment to one another, and you appreciate your partner speaking the truth even when it's painful.

As libras, do you guys like the libras you come in contact with? For me it's about 50/50. And when I don't like them, it's more like I'm disgusted by them.
Curious do u love leos?
I love my Leos. I am one. The men are kind of iffy though. Growing up there was a Leo guy I could not STAND!!! He was an August Leo. Then I sort of dated a Leo also an August Leo, he and I fell off. Most of the Leos I know are women we get along great. I am not your typical Leo when it comes to some traits. I am a July Leo.
I seem to get along best with the July Leo's. My favorite cousin is a July Leo. She's awesome. One of the smartest people I know. The Leo guy I dated before coming here was an August Leo. I can definitely see the difference.
I never thought about July vs. August leos. My bro in law is a July Leo and he's awesome. The Leo males I know born in august.... are a lil too much for me.
Yep. The Leo I dated was sweet at times but a big fat pain in the ass at others. The July Leos are really great. Especially the ones with Cancer placements imo. It really humbles them.click to expand
