There are cute guys, sure.
Smart guys, sure.
There are guys that you have things in common with.
Buff and muscular ones.
Ha, these hilarious guys too.
And just plain out understanding ones.

But how do you know who you really like?

Edit:
No, let me rephrase that.
How do you know who you love?

@jemmie
That's something that you have to find within yourself to find the perfect guy one who is your opposite but is alike someone who is a good person within their hearts the traits and personality you love.


Philosophical stuff up there 😋

What about a mix of all?

@jemmie @skyhealeroftheskies
Exactly what Sky said. And I love the mix of them all, but I can wait for the right guy 😉 I have I don't know how many years I will have to wait, but the best chance is in high school/college years.
Answer to question: If you get to know them, and you start to like them self consciously, you'll look at them a lot. Plus, gut feeling!

@newlife @skyhealeroftheskies
I dont mean "if you like them", I mean "if you love them".

@jemmie This question can be answered from so many angles, everyone has different feelings and ways of typically liking someone, whether it's their attractive appearance, or even their personality. I believe it's the same thing with love, but the simplest actions can show the biggest signs of love. But honestly in my opinion, you have to observe yourself to see how "you" honestly like someone, without going by someone else opinion.

@jemmie i think only you can know if you love someone...
Everyone has a different way of explaining love i think its when you realize the imperfections in people, and the things that annoy you and except them, and not want to change them cos evrn though something about them annoys you you love it cos its part if them and you wouldnt want to change anything about them
Not sure if that makes sense but i could go into more detail on what else i think loving someone involves xD

@jemmie IKR!!! I get confused... like....

Do I like this guy.... Or do I just want to like this guy?

Oh wait, you want to know the difference between like and love?
Cause I personally think that you can't love someone without knowing them that well....
Like... euhmm... I think it's something that you need to build up and that the "love" is not just suddenly there xD

@Jemmie
"Love" is not easily defined. I know for a fact I have never loved. I *may* have *liked* some boys, but never *loved*. In order to love a person, you must get to know them for who they are. You must enjoy their company and know that they are a person whose company you would like to spend the rest of your life in. A crush is not the same as true love. In fact, most "crushes" are not even that--I would say that it's more of... Hmm... How to describe it... a lust. You do not want to be in their company because of who they are, you want to be around them because you like the way they look. That is not a reason to even /like/ somebody. If you truly love someone, you do not force your affection on them and make them love you. If you love someone, you want them to be happy, whether or not their happiness depends on your company. No matter how much it hurts you. If you love someone, you know when to let go. Even if it kills you. Even if it destroys you. Breaks you.
And who you love depends on who you are. Some people love another because he or she respect them. Some people love another because he or she understands them. Some people love another because he or she is kind to others. It is true that opposites attract, but also true that similar people nearly always find each other. Love depends on a number of factors, and is different for every person. Therefore I cannot completely answer your question, but this is my take on it. You must answer your question yourself, but I hope that I was able to help.
