Hear it from people who have fallen in love before.

"Falling in love is like looking at the world with rose tinted glasses, everything is softer and beautifully illuminated."

"You do things together that you would not normally like to do, but because you're together you enjoy it."

"Makes you sick to your stomach at first."

"Falling in love is the feeling of a magnetic attraction to a woman you want to be with forever."

"When you fall in love it feels like a 24 hour high when the only thing you think about is that person. When you leave them you're not yourself and not completely happy, because they complete you."

"Falling in love feels like an internal hug."

They shouldn't hold you down, but keep you where you need to be at that time.
