Ok, so here it goes, I started going out with my girlfriend on Friday, for like two weeks before it I REALLY liked her and now I am not sure if I properly love her or if I just still really really like her. Is it too early in the relationship to feel proper love ?

Well, im going from experience here but It depends how long you've known her, and how you, yourself perceive love.

Donny, not only is it too early in your relationship, I think it's too early in your life. Love is so much more than an emotion. More than chemicals swarming around in your brain. It's something spiritual. It's the act of composing two individuals into a "we" that can be spoken of in the singular. At the bottom line, minds far far greater than yours or mine have been trying to solve this problem for the last 2500 years. They've made very little progress. You're young. Focus on loving instead of being in love. The former is hard enough. Don't be so preoccupied with love. If you enjoy her company, then enjoy it and don't worry about taking it to "that next level." It's not something that can be forced. Believe me I've tried.
As for "love proper" leave that mess for a higher power to figure out. :)

Well there's no reason to say that it isn't love, if your both close then its probable. I wouldn't go jumping into things (Saying it) though if you aren't sure. How do you perceive love? Everyone does it differently, and at different times. Some times feel more right than others. I'm not sure if this is helpful to you, but i hope it is.

If you're unsure, no, it's likely not. Simple as that.

I would say if you are questioning it then most likely not, but it sounds like you really do like her, so who knows what it might become. All the best xx

Sometimes love needs time to grow, its not always head-over-heels from the outset, so yes, give it more time.

Emotions are strong at the start of a relationship. It fades a bit for everyone. Don't let that get you down.

varries from person to person and depends on the situation
some people take alot longer to "warm up" to ppl
depends on how emotionally and intellectually developed you and your partner are as well
higher development = more intense feelings

This is something I remember at Youth Camp, it is that Love is not an Emotion, Love is a concept of caring for someone that you truly know and truly connect, if you've only been seeing her for some weeks then i guess it's just a phase, but who knows, it might be love at first sight

i've had a couple of gf's but the first time i felt proper in love was with my now ex- kinda unfortunatley but some stuff happened so it's understandable- but you can't explain the feeling you just kinda know it's for real.
