How do you know if you are in love or if it just lust?

[Edit]

Answer

Lust often gets mingled with infatuation. If you have just started seeing this person chances are you're probably feeling "floaty" and really excited about them, especially if you have just started having sex with them. It's often accompanied by a feeling like that person could do no wrong because you haven't gotten to know the person's flaws yet. This is the so-called "honeymoon phase." Well, we all know that nobody is perfect and eventually you'll see that in the person in question. All it takes is some undesirable behavior exhibited by them to get you to come back to Earth in a big hurry. This is when you'll know when it's lust or love. Only you will know the answer to that when it happens. Search your feelings. If you feel a deep spiritual bond with that person then it's probably love.

Us guys need to be careful when it comes to lust because it easily clouds the brain. This usually leads to kissing the chick's ass who may not deserve it and a lack of self respect on the guy's part. Just relax and don't lose your head.
