ORIGINAL: KnightofMists So how do YOU know that you are falling for someone. What tell tail signs exist that bring you to the realization that this person is it! This doesn't necessarily mean falling in love either. It's more about that point you take the leap to try and build the relationship or commit to it. Of course for some this is falling in love. As a side note.... I ask this question because I recently cross paths with this absolute sweetheart and it seems I am about to have another to swoon to my wild desires. The question above is one I have been recently looking at as result and was wondering what others thought for themselves. Last note.... To answer my own question... One that I have asked and answered twice before. I know; when I can't see enjoying my life without them being apart of it in some way. It's not that I can't enjoy my life without them. I just don't want to and make choices to make sure it doesn't happen. So what is your answer? SoulAlloy made the falling -> fallen distinction which I would also like to make. Falling, for me, is when there is a hole in my world when this person is missing. It feels empty, it feels painful. I have made this person part of my world and if they are missing, my world suffers. I have done falling for friends and for coworkers. I've made spaces for these people in my world and trusted them enough to require their presence to maintain my structure. Fallen is when someone is more important than the circumstance that comes with them. I've only 'fallen' once and I've always craved it. Maybe it comes easier to everyone else than it does for me. But I've always been something of a traitor, I think. Always willing to leave a person, place, or situation behind if it wasn't what I wanted or what I felt was best for me. When your dream is : With [Subject][Predicate]. And you choose this one person as the subject regardless of what the predicate is. As opposed to chasing the predicate. That is what having fallen is for me. I feel like I finally understand what wedding vows were supposed to mean. "Even if it means never being rich or successful, which I know I could be. Even if it means never learning or traveling, which I know I could do. Even if it means never being romanced as I imagine, never chasing the experiences I can imagine. Which I know are out there for me if I looked for them. I would rather nothing more than to be here with you, no matter the circumstance I find beside you."
