By Julie Mitchell

-Where is this going?

-Does he know my name?

-Would this legally be considered stalking?

-Should I get a divorce?

Wherever you are in your journey it's very important to know the age old question: Am I in Love? Knowing if you're in love is the first step to a bunch of other important decisions that are all up to you. But how do you know? There's a lot of feelings swirling around in there;

1. Have you ever had a sex dream about them?

2. If you found $1,000 today would what you do with it include them?

3. If you went to karaoke with this person, would you have fun?

4. If they were in a building that was on fire and it felt like you had a shot to save them, would you go in?

5. Would you do drugs with them?

6. Would you let them read some of your journal?

7. Have they ever cheered you up when you weren't feeling good?

8. Do you want to talk to them when you're upset?

9. When they text you, are you excited?

10. Do they make you feel safe?

1-8

Yes's

THIS IS A SITUATIONSHIP

How could you even think you were in love? They don't know you at all and you kind of don't like them. You would not save them from a fire and you are not in love. You have more feelings for beautiful birds than this person. Get out.

9-15 Yes's

HEATING UP OR COOLING DOWN

You have a lot of feelings for this person; it's just not quite love. Either you're in the beginning stages and haven't quite gotten there yet, or it's been many many years and something was lost. Either way, this is a very important person to you, it's just not love. There are still plenty of songs about it though.

16-25 Yes’s how do you really know when it's the big one? Lucky for you, here's a simple quiz of “yes” or “no” questions to sort through all the mess and finally get right down to it: Are You in Love?

DING DING DING! IT’S LOVE Congratulations, my friend. You are in love. And it seems good. You can look at wedding RSVP’s with ease and talk about hypothetical kids (if that’s your thing)—no problem. It feels like you have a person/partner whom you feel safe with and that values you. Now why can’t you get that with your dad?
