    "Love is not a feeling.

    Infatuation is a feeling.

    Lust is a feeling.

    But love is an action.

    It is the decision to care about this person's well-being, to put their well-being as high as, or higher than, your own well-being,

    and a commitment to treat that person with honesty, caring, and gentleness even when you have a FEELING of anger for them.

    Love is an action."

    Sounds like you don't know this guy well enough for it to be love. Nothing wrong with lust though ;)

    That is a tough question, because if a man is not after you for Lust (at least at first)

    the there is something wrong with the guy. Let me clarify. Men are visual, so what

    initially attracts a guy to a girl is her looks. It could just be her pretty face, or the

    fact she does not have real thick ankles. lol

    That is what gets a man to the woman. From then on though, things shift. If the girl

    is very attractive, but turns out to be real bitchy, those looks go bye bye pretty fast.

    Some guys, like I would, will not go out with her again, and she likely feels the same.

    Other guys don't care, and will try to be physical with them and have sex.

    If I had any advice for a young lady/woman - any age. Do not have sex with any man,

    hopefully till marriage, but for certain, not until you really get to know him. Simmer his

    lust down with your beautiful personality, and suddenly, he finds your attraction goes

    under your skin to your heart, and it becomes true love.

    Ow,

    The guys of the second variety are somewhat easy to locate as most of the guys are plain lustful and abundant worldwide.

    A guy if the first category is a difficult find. But is sufficiently easy to isolate because such specimens do belong to an endangered list.

    Good luck Cheri` if you are in a quest for true love. :.:

    You DONT know.

    Thats why you date him for a long time. And if he sticks around (with out getting the PHYSICAL...) then thats usually a sign that he's into you for YOU.

    When a guy likes a gilr, he will make it KNOWN to her...he does that by PURSUING her.

    Guys that are just after the nookie, will pursue, but they will only do it for a week or two, and they WILL ask for the nookie and get phys w/ you to TEST a girl's BOUNDARIES, to see if she says ONE thing, but does another.... so be careful what you say and do. Those guys are pretty obvious so they're easy to spot.... Good luck.

    **Serious, the above applies to most males. Anywhere in the world, and at any age. Good luck.

    A good question to ask yourself is if this guy is really a player. If he is really smooth chances are he will tell you whatever you want to hear or he may do the opposite and create a sense of controversy to peak your interest in hopes of getting some action. So how do you know if he is serious about having a relationship with you or just wants some action? Ask around. Ask different people about his past relationships. Does he make moves really fast? Does he know your last name? Is he aggressive? In the end it's up to you.

    Does he talk about the long-term future in any form around you? Like he may say, " I want a great job so I can support a family." He may not include you in the sentence, but if he's saying it around you or to you, he's looking at you long term.

    It's also very likely that he may be into you both ways. The only way to know for sure is to make him wait forever for sex and see if he's still there.

    Take it from a guy.

    When he proposes to you, and wanting to live with you is a good sign

    other than that anyone could be a liar

    If I was a player you would never know, I know every trick secret and lie in the book i know what woman want to her what to say what to talk about regarding the future etc and ive got friends who are experts with lying to woman too, there are men like this.

    if your first response to a guy is a feeling of lust than probably you are reflecting what he is feeling towards you

    If a guy is after you then, he cares about you. Ask about you with your friend. He do friendship with you and your friends. He looks at you but do not talk with you most.
