First, love is caring about your well-being, happiness, and growth. Love is not just a feeling.
True love shows itself in actions.
Love is protecting you from emotional or physical pain, helping and strengthening you, and improving your life, without asking to be repaid. Love is considerate, kind, sensitive to your feelings and needs, unselfish, patient, gentle, tender, respectful, and loyal. Love accepts imperfection in you without being irritable or prone to anger. A boyfriend who loves you takes interest in your activities, feelings, and ideas. He accepts you as you are and believes in you.
