How do you know when you’re in love?

Tain

Dear Tain,

Well, Tain, I’m glad to see that someone has actually tried to stump me. Love is a very, very difficult topic to talk about. It’s even more difficult to know when you are actually in love. However, have no fear, for the Great Wimble is here. I spent quite some time pondering this question myself, and I believe I have finally come to a conclusion.

When someone falls in “love” with another person, is it really love? Perhaps it’s merely the urge to be with someone, or simply lust (not that there’s anything wrong with that). That is what makes it so difficult to answer this question, because those feelings can be easily confused, or hard to pinpoint. So, what do I have to tell you?

Well, the most important thing that you can do is to step back and take a look at things outside of your little circle. For example, one may be able to simply go into their bathroom and take a look into their “tain” (for those of you who don’t know, tain is the tinfoil backing of a mirror). When a person does this, they are able to see themselves, and makes it a lot easier to try to view yourself from outside of your little circle. When you carefully inspect yourself, only then can you determine if you are really in “love”. You’ll notice certain things about yourself that are different from when you were not in “love”. You’ll notice very small changes in your life since this “love” has come along. Although everyone experiences different changes, there are some that are more common than others. For example, you may notice that you are late for appointments, or that country living becomes more appealing, and even that things and people around you seem taller (just to name a few). Only then will you know you are truly in “love”.

I hope I was able to answer your question. Please keep in mind that I am not a professional and that this is all meant for entertainment purposes only.. . Hope to hear from you again.

Roger and out,

Wimble
