A theory about love...

I always wondered what love is:

I think I have come up with a reasonable explanation of how you can know when you are in love. It involves going through 5 questions and these questions will assess your feelings for your significant other.

So when you might be unsure, ask yourself:

1) Do I like him/her just as an individual?

2) Do I admire the qualities that I see in him/her?

3) Do I respect him/her and his/her opinions?

4) Do I see reason in his/her mistakes?

5) Do I want him/her? (Wanting as in really really wanting him or her)

So, ask yourselves these 5 questions...I bet you have felt atleast one of them at one point and time...and I thought these questions don't mean that much. You might have felt one of these feelings for someone but feeling ALL FIVE is an altogether different case. I started thinking about myself and whether I have felt all FIVE...no I have not (Well maybe! ;))...it is very hard to want someone and also admire and respect them to such a deep extent. First of all, admiring someone is quite a rare thing...and even respect doesn't just drop from the sky...it takes time and devotion...wanting happens only when you are so attracted to the other...and forgiving someone's mistakes and seeing reason in their mistakes rarely happens...it might happen occasionally with friend...but not with that many people...and you might forgive but actually seeing reason is usually hard. But when you do see reason...that would really mean something!
So next time you think you are in love...have this checklist ready and try it out...
See if it works...if it does...let me know!!! I will patent it!!! ;)
