How to Rate How Much Someone Really Loves You

 

It may sound like love. It may feel like love. But is it really the real thing?
The word "love" is bandied about willy nilly (no pun intended!) as in "I love soccer" and "I love chocolate" but unlike soccer most people don't like being played. And unlike chocolate most people don't like being eaten (even those that say "bite me!" tend to not mean it literally). So how can one tell when someone really LOVES them - or just enjoys them, for selfish reasons?
Consider the following 14 statements carefully...

Things You'll Need: courage (especially if you're head over heels in love) honesty (tell yourself the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth) perspective (base your answers on the person's general behaviour - not them at their worst) patience (don't do this questionnaire while you're still seething after a heated row or while you're still bathing in the afterglow...;-) a box of Kleenex tissues (just in case!) :,-)

Tips & Warnings

• The more "True's" the more likely it is to be True Love!

• (Remember no one is perfect and love can grow. But it's good to be honest with ourselves about our current relationships. Or else we aren't loving our selves - and then we're unlikely to attract others who will!)
