My feelings confuses me. How can you tell you're in love? When does it move from really liking someone to being in love? I've had a love interest for a while now. A year plus ago. Things were awkward but then we started talking online and gradually it moved to communication in person. This is someone who apparently wasn't interested in a relationship when the feelings were clear still. It hurt badly and I couldn't communicate every way I felt so I wasn't pushing or showing the feelings I knew I had myself. Then suddenly things changed. Maybe the appearance of a threat. And I've been so happy. And we've had our moments but now this person is so much in love, missing me badly and stuff. And we have to take very different part soon due to schooling. Now he's demanding a commitment which is exactly what I was hoping but after talking it out I feel so .... tied down. And I'm being asked to profess love in a way I find demanding. I'm trying to figure out if it's love before giving an answer. This person wants a lifelong commitment if possible with distance not being a barrier. I feel scared. I'm young and not very experienced. We both are. I need help. I need to understand myself. I started promising already before feeling this way.
