Is there really a difference between true love and puppy love? If so what is it? How do you know if you truly love someone?

There are levels of love, even for adults. When you date someone for a while, and you're getting along and everything is great, that's the puppylove stage. But it's not until that one defining moment, that one connection, that it becomes a real, deep kind of love. It might be when the both of you realize you feel the same way about a passionate topic, or you realize you need to be next to this person all the time. That's when the real love kicks in. Just my 2 cents.

I agree with both of you ladies. I also wanted to add that I do think it has something to do with where you yourself are in life and how comfortable you are in your own skin. For instance, my last relationship was totally different from the relationship I'm in now, mainly because I AM so different...more mature, stronger, aware, etc. In my last relationship I was completely taken advantage of, I mean don't get me wrong the guy is a sexist jerk [[that's not how I usually refer to him btw, just trying to remain civil, lol]], but I also recognize that I allowed him to sort of walk all over me because I was in such a vulnerable time in my life, NOW?? heh, *mira ver*...will never happen. My current bf is the complete opposite by nature (which helps and adds to the dynamic of our relationship) but somehow I feel like it's the energy I put out that attracted someone like him...am I making any sense? I'll end it here for now...

I believe that you have reached true love when you and your love one is in a room and nothing has to be said to feel comfortable. When you start thinking about your love one's feeling before yours. When all you have to do is think about that person and it brings and it bring a smile to your face. When you feel all giddy inside knowing that in a few hours you will be able to be in his arms again.
