This may sound weird but I think my boyfriend loves me, its just the way he cares about me and stuff, nobody outside of my family has cared for me like that, the way he says I am beautiful etc. I have never encountered anything like this before! I am pretty sure I love him back, I always think of him.
Sometimes when people love you it's pretty obvious and in your face. Other times you just have to be brave enough to take the risk that they might not love you like you think and make a move. I mean we aren't psychic or anything so you never know until you make an effort to find out. Though from the way you talk I'm assuming your boyfriend is a very lovely person who sound sounds to be very much in love with you ^.^
If he does things for you that you don't have to ask/tell him to do. And he calls you beautiful, i would say thats love.
Just wanted to say its really nice to read what u wrote ^^ But for your question - I wouldn't know, no one really loved me >.>
It is difficult. The feeling of being in love and really loving a person is two different things. The feeling of being in love is most of the time an elevated feeling of admiration and infatuation. Loving someone is a commitment, being fully dedicated to see that one single person happy and protected and content. Being through a few "crash and burns" my view on love has changed a bit to be honest.
If you're talking about love in a general sense then one example would be having the other person do something which they don't want to do but they do it for your sake.
Yes, that is one thing to notice and also when the surprise you by doing something for you that you find tedious or such.
