When you don't have the urge to run for the door the following morning at her place when you wake up hearing a little voice say, "Mummy, is this my new daddy?"
Often this has nothing to do with personality, giving rise to the situation where someone feels they are in love with someone they don't like.
I disagree. Knowing you love someone is your ability to accept the things you don't like about them. Love may bring out a person's better qualities, and hopefully it does, but it won't remake them.
I think love is something you do, not something that happens to you. People are confused because they believe it's an involuntary reflex, like a knee jerk reaction or something. Just find someone you can love and love them.
Note: If you are salivating, you're getting warmer, and you're panting, you may be catching influenza, but you're not in love.
I cannot imagine anyone ever taking here place in my life.
Even when she drives me crazy I love her.
She's my best friend.
Being with her feels like home.
Passion and scents are fine just starting out. But after years together you will know if love is there or not based on things like my list. Those will make a relationship endure or not.
I've been dating my boyfriend for some years now. In the beginning all my friends wondered why someone like me who has many men at her feet would fall for this man. But I know that I'm really in love with this man. He's intelligent, knowledgeable, kind-hearted, warm and is always there when I needed a shoulder to cry on....

I'm glad I didn't fall in oxytocin with Notginger.

Seriously though, when all the good things you wanted for yourself, you now want for the other person.

Please define 'love' so we can answer the question more accurately.
