Everybodys lookin for somethin
Somethin to fill in the holes
We think a lot but dont talk much about it
til things get out of control
How do I know when its love
I cant tell you but it lasts forever
How does it feel when its love
Its just something you feel together
When its love.

(Van Halen)

You will develop a rash!!

I found the only way to REALLY find out is ask, and hope they are not playing head games with you.
Obviously there are the obvious tell tale signs, like: Actions speak louder than words, meaning if he says he will call and doesn't repeatedly, well he is not into you.
But really, just ask him, if you feel that there is a connection.
That's how I am gonna do it from now on. If I like someone I am just gonna flat out tell them. Screw the headgames. They never work.

I tend to like people who like me back.

When they don't run away from you in sheer terror.

one need only know who they are into???

in one base it on them, then one is easily deceived by many them's???

if you is into them, then this is all one need to know, as they is them, and you will surely and easily know they is into you, as they will not fail to let you know!!!

I just mind meld them!!! I telepathically suck out their thoughts everytime I drink a diet coke!!!!

They listen to a long story.

They are concerned if you are thirsty, hungry, or tired.

They seemed relieved when you set next to them.

They know how you drink your coffee.

You tell them you like a shirt they wear it again.

They call and see if you made it home.

They care if you wear your seatbelt.

They introduce you to people.

They ask what you like on the radio.

They suggest something they are going to do with you in the future.

They tell you things about their school age friends.

Their eyes smile when they look at you.

They will step between you and a threatening situation.

They stock the kind of food only you eat.

They keep distance between you and any borderline friends or co-workers that might be upsetting.

They will linger when it is time to seperate.

They ask about people you care about.

If it is raining they want to get the car or hold you close under the umbrella.

They like to see the two of you in a mirror.

They want to have firsts with you. ........

sticking true to my name here...

watch the new movie, he's just not that into you. The bartender/manager played by Justin Long has some good advice on signs that the guy isn't in to you. Really though, I suggest just.. not worrying about it. If you both share the same feelings... well sooner or later there will be an akward pause in a conversation or at the end of a date... and one of you will say something. Hopefully the other person lets you know that the feeling is mutual. If not don't give up hope. They may just need a little longer to sort things out than you.

Sorry, those things could easily be the characteristics of a stalker as well.

I suppose that is possible but generally a stalker forces unwelcome attention and continues to pursue when told to stop.

there is only one true love, and it come not from only looking for the half of all things, only the good things self look for to satisfy self???

what does self NEED???

both cold and hot, anger and kindness accepted, night and day, passion and no passion accepted, winter and summer, beautiful words and harsh words accepted by BOTH, success and failure accpeted by BOTH, as any women of greater substance will know, equal from a man be much more of love than fatherhood or dictating, and if there be any true friendship, which lead to greater love, there must be these things???

if one seeks all kind words and flattery, it will find what provide what it seek, but what it seek shall give it misery, as these things alone sought will only find what give these, but only to get back for itself, and this will run dry quickly in these days when wells are dug but shallow???

nothing that speak it's whole mind speak only half of the human words that exist, the good one's alone???

if ALL words were not needed to live happy, then only good words would exist???

one that seeks true love knows to seek what accepts all of itself, the GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY, AND THE BEAUTIFUL!!!

since nothing in the cosmos or earth is made up of only good, to think love is only good be the only reason one does not find what it most likely already see or know, and may be right in front of itself???

a women is NEVER happy without true unconditional love, but to think one recieve this from something that give self all it wish, is sheer delusion unto perpetual lonliness, as even a million servants for self cannot quell to satisfaction what delusion think is love!!!

if one speak their whole mind and hide nothing, then one is most guided to what it seek, which be total acceptence of all self THINK!!!

if the mind is accepted in all ways and thoughts by two, then the BODY WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM BEING CONSUMED WITH PASSSION???

if two cannot fight and it change not their opinions of each other, there is no commonality of acceptence that stand the test of love, as love would not be love less it was challenging to create, just as an intricate and detailed house need more wisdom to create, so also doth love.......

if it is not worth dying for it hath no value???

this is totally lost in translation if one see not a fight or a dispute or anger or failure or grievence is not near the cost of death, but these are often deemed as failure to one thinking love is but half the human emotions being displayed to self???

peace

huh? David, study sentence structure, your thoughts will come across much easier to read.

Ok - to shed more light on the mystery behind the question, I took all (or almost all) of your comments to heart. Cinderella, I thank you - your comment in particular made me get my fur balls out of my pocket and I just called. Despite complicated personal issues, he remains the same person that I first met. It appears the connection that I have felt with him is recipprocated. Valentines day is just a date - one which can be postponed until we can spend quality time together. It is not about the date, but about the people. I truly believe he is feeling what I feel, life just has temporarily gotten in the way. But, we are off to a very, very good start.

I thank you all for being my sounding board and for your feedback.

some things are not meant to be easy to read, for reasons beyond the simple.

they are written as they are.

they are only read by what need to read.

Uh huh, tell an editor that. Wait, I was one and you did! Let's simply say you would have cost me at least a box of red pens!

The hell with calling for a second date. I asked my date the same night....on her porch....lol

She told me she would let me know how much " enticing " I would have to do to get another date at the end of our first one.

So I asked her how much enticing I was gonna have to do.

Fortunately...she said not a whole lot. ;-)

I guess we traded boats.

That is really the best way to describe it- nice answer Peccy- so true
