How do people act when in love? I really wonder, because you hear people go "You don't act like you love me" and all that stuff.
But are there any rules as to how to act when in love? And if there are, who made them any way? If love is an individual thing then act it out the way you feel best.
Personally, I do think there are rules. Well I'd rather call them guides on how to love and to act when in love. The final action is an individual thing and depends on an individual's beliefs and principles, these guides do not tell you what to do when you 're in love. They just basically tell you how to recognize love.
True love through it's actions, tells us what love is but how everyone applies these guides is strictly between the person, his principles and the circumstances around him. And so he shows his love differently from the next person. But if you look deeply you'll find out that it's basically the same thing.
So we really shouldn't use someone else's action as a standard to judge others because everybody is different and would act differently in various situations.
Because of these differences there cannot be a particular way to act when in love. So if a person doesn't act the way we feel he should it might not be that he doesn't love you but that his principles and ways of showing affection are different. We should not limit our minds to one way of thinking but should leave it open so that we can recognize love even if it doesn't come at us the way we think it should.
