love

i'm afraid i may be in love.

How do you tell if your in love? what are the signs? i figure it must be different for every individual - so how do I know I am??

How is love different from intensely good friendship or how is being IN love different from just feeling a kind of love?

This person is a friend; someone i have known for some years and someone whose company i enjoy a lot. I find it very easy to be with him, we can talk easily about many many things; we laugh and enjoy each others sense of humour; we enjoy the same books and the same programmes and films; we both enjoy the same kinds of things in life. When I am with him time loses its meaning and the hours fly by until our time is up. Even when we are not necessarily doing something together I just enjoy being in the same room as him.
Seeing him makes me happy.

Ok I'm really scared this may be love. Uh oh. I do NOT think he feels the same way and I sure as hell dont wanna spoil a great friendship- cliche but true.

What do I do? How do i know? And if i decide i wanna be with him - what the hell is the next step??

This is all bloody scary!
