is this love at first sight? am I in love?

You were in a serious relationship for over a year.

It takes at least 2 years for lasting, mature, real love to even BEGIN to grow.

Love at first sight is not love.

It is infatuation.

A release of brain chemicals that make you feel high, and the release is triggered by your unconscious which reads his subtle signals and says, "Here's someone who will make me feel like I felt when I was a kid growing up. Here is someone who will create a relationship just like the one my parent's had .. " because your unconscious figures that's how relationships ARE supposed to be.

For most of us, love at first sight is a warning sign, not a warming sign.

Psychologists warn us that the stronger the chemistry is at the start, the greater the problems are going to be later on.

Yes, infatuation sure DOES make you high. You float on air. It's glorious. It lasts somewhere between 2 weeks and 2 years. Eventually, the biological process of homeostasis happens, and your brain chemistry goes back to normal. You fall "out of love", as completely as you first fell "into" love.

It'll be a great ride while it lasts. I just hope you had a happy childhood and your parents have a good marriage .. and same for her. Otherwise, it'll end up hurting badly.

Sorry, but being in a relationship for a year, for ONLY a year .. no, you don't know what love is. Not yet.

Maybe it is, for the both of you or it can only be a week thing
