Each relationship will teach you a valuable lesson about yourself, your capacity to love, and what you are looking for (and not looking for) in a partner. So how can you tell if the person you are with is worthy of your "true love"? How can you know when a crush has moved beyond lust and in to the realm of love? Here are some sure fire signs that your affair of the heart has reached true love status:
- You can't help but smile when you see her/him and s/he is always smiling back.
- You feel comfortable and secure in the relationship and really trust your partner not to hurt you; ie, there is no need for jealousy or suspicion.
- There have been good times and bad times and through, or in spite of, them all you have remained together.
- There are no major dramas in the relationship; ie, you do not test one anothers love, engage in relationship foiling gossip or feel the need to play games.
- You each do kind and thoughtful things for the other "just because" and doing them makes both people feel good.
- Outside pressures are few and far between; there are none or only minor issues with peers, friends, family and teachers.
- There is no violence in the relationship at all -- NONE!
- You enhance one another, neither one of you presses the other to do things that may lead to harm or that the other is opposed to doing.
- The things that make you different do not push you apart; ie, different religions, cultural backgrounds or personal beliefs.
- There is no sacrifice, only compromise.
- Sex or no sex: it doesn't matter, either way it isn't an issue and nobody has been pressured to do something they weren't ready to do.
- You know that everything you feel is returned in kind by your partner.
