How do I know Im in love this time?

[MyRedHeadWorld]

Ok...In my opnion Ive fancied people, Probably 10 different people (at different times!) But Ive been in love three times, i think? And now I really like this boy, But It feels different? I have stronger feelings then just fancy but Im not intirly sure if I love him cause its like, well how can I have been in love 4 times?? He makes me really happy just THINKING about him, I can tell him anything, He makes me laugh more then anyone ever has, and Ive been through a bit of shit, In fact, I started to self harm myself cause of some crap that happend in my life...But he was there for me, he was there for me through everything, He put up with an ex bf I had even though he hated him, he helped me through the break up, he helps me when Im upset, hes there for me weather Im happy or sad unlike some people, and Ive never had so much in comman with a guy before...In fact, ANYONE! So basically I wanna know...

What exactly is love?
am I in love again?

Love can't really be explained, it's different for everyone. Just you know you can tell the person everything, want to spend every waking moment with them, and hold them and never let go.

Just to be honest, it sounds like this guy is more like a best friend. It could be love though. Only you will really know if you're in love, nobody can tell you if you are.

Just "go with the flow," don't feel the need to describe how you feel in a phrase as simple and meaningless as 'in love' - if you fall for someone, you'll know it. You don't need us to tell you if you're experiencing a human emotion in a certain manner or not, it's up to you how you interpret your feelings. :) It is meant to be confusing though, don't worry about that.
