How would you know if you really, genuinely love someone?

[santosrays]

you always have time for them or you will always find time for them.

[Donebutton]

You never really do

[IMIsko]

Sudden realization maybe

[LoseStreak]

You are willing to set her/him free if that’s what make her/him happy

[KurosakiIchiGOAT789]

You worry about them and also para sa iyo their happiness is more important than yours. 

[ryandbest]

Kapag yung mga negative traits e nakita mo na at tnaggap mo pa din e true love yun.

[kjyo]

personally i don’t think true love exists. 
the best way i can put it is you consistently choosing the same person over others over and over; despite their flaws.

and you accepting for who they are to you and to them; and coming to terms of who they can’t be.

Maybe when you disregard the standards you set up for your "ideal" gf/bf and accept them for who they truly are, and you see yourself spending the rest of your life with them.

If you’re expecting an “Aha” moment, then you probably don’t know what love is.

You wouldn't have to ask if you do

Pag tapos na yung high ng beginning stages at nagsettle na yung feelings and love becomes a chore but you still choose to keep working on what you've built with that person

You might really, genuinely love someone if you care about their well-being as much as or more than your own—without expecting anything in return.

[JosephKeys]

You know you genuinely love someone when their presence feels like peace, not performance.
You don’t just crave their touch—you crave their truth.
You care more about who they are than who you want them to be.
Love shows up in the quiet moments:

When you listen, even when it’s hard.

When you stay, even when it’s inconvenient.

When their joy genuinely feels like your own.

Real love is less about butterflies.
More about building a place where both of you can be fully human.
