How do you fall in love
How do you say I do
When is the perfect time
To spend the rest of your life
Seasons may come and go
And sometimes it rains and snows
And there will be highs and lows
So only you will know
You never know just where it will find you
’cause it can come on you so fast
Seems like it takes forever
When you want it so bad
But don’t ever take it for granted
’cause it’s more than sowing some seeds
It takes sun and water
So give it what it needs
And that’s how you fall in love
That’s when you say I do
That’s when you know it’s time
To spend the rest of your life
Now seasons may come and go
And sometimes it rains and snows
There will be highs and lows
So only you will know
There will be highs and lows
So only you will know
I've always thought this song was beautiful. But it would bug me that the writers would never really answer the question "How do you know?" I have always been a combination of analytical and romantic. I like to sort things into collums and weigh pros and cons. But sometimes you can't explain why you know something. You just know it. Many people I have spoken with confirms this phenomenon. When it's right, you will know. This is often said with regard to marriage. And I think it is true. But I think it also applys to other matters in life. It's helpful to get all the facts, to gain understanding and perspective and above all to pray. But I think all these things come together in a sort of gut feeling. And in the end, you know the right decision to make.
Any thoughts on this?

So when do you know....? Well, I suppose that is the quintessential question of the day. I know that sometimes it is instinctual (that gut feeling) and sometimes it's reasoned and analyzed into a logical conclusion (my WAY preferred method, I love cold hard facts). I guess, to me, it all comes down to faith. I don't always know the answer, whether I should go left or right. All I know is that I have faith in myself (knowing prayerfully that God has my back) that I can adapt to almost any situation.
I think that, particularly with regards to relationships, you just have to act on what you believe to be right. You can never control another person, only yourself. Sure, you can manipulate situations (like maneuvering to sit by your crush in a movie theater) but you can't make anyone like you. You just have to have faith that you'll act in a way befitting you and that the person you have your eye on will respond favorably to that. If they like you for you, you've got a winner, but if they can't, well, you can't control people.
Hey, then you'll know! There! Finally! A good, rational, analyzed answer! Woo hoo! Thanks Kristen!
It's true. There is no right or wrong when it comes to love. It's a decision you have to make with your heart not your mind. You MUST listen to your gut. My problem often in the past in a few of my very short relationships is trying to ignore the fact that I know in my heart that it is wrong. However, another problem may arise when you decide that it is right and you are in love, will they love you back. In my case, he doesn't love me. I myself wonder if it is possible to love another that strongly.
