You aren't quite sure whether you are sad about being alone, glad you have a warm body by your side or mad because (s)he's not meeting your expectations.

How do you really know whether you're in love? Take this quick quiz to determine whether it's love or infatuation:

  1. I knew I was in love with the person almost immediately.
  2. Even though I've known my partner for a while, I still really love his/her personality.
  3. I wonder sometimes if my partner has changed a lot since I've known him/her because he/she acts differently around me now.
  4. The more I am with my partner, the more I want to be around him/her.
  5. I am less interested in my partner sexually than I was in the beginning.
  6. The more I know about my partner, the more I want to know.
  7. The more I know about my partner, the less interested I am in him/her.
  8. I feel really good associating with this person and being regarded as a couple.
  9. I have begun to notice more things wrong with my partner and spend a lot of time trying to get him/her to change.
  10. Even though I have been with my partner for awhile, I am still just as sexually interested as I was in the beginning.
  11. I find that I'd just as well do things with other people as with my partner because I'd probably have more fun.
  12. I am able to share my feelings with my partner and trust him/her completely.
  13. I really love my partner but don't feel good about sharing intimate feelings with him/her yet.
  14. My partner brings out the best in me and genuinely seems to care about me.
  15. I love my partner, but I don't respect him/her the way I respect others.

SCORING:
This is simply an estimate of the state of your current relationship and is in no way scientifically proven. With that in mind, it is important to realize there are not any right or wrong answers here... simply some food for thought.

If you answered "yes" to the even-numbered statements, it may indicate that your feelings for your partner are more "love" directed. On the other hand, if you answered "yes" to the odd-numbered statements, it may indicate that you have a tendency toward infatuations rather than love.

Count your responses to learn where your relationship stands. Re-read each of the statements and ask yourself if you feel they are important enough to you to work on, if need be. Or do your responses indicate that another partner may be a better or a more healthy choice?
