So, I have dated two people, and for both of them, I felt no butterfly's and dreaded seeing them. I thought it's supposed to be the other way around. How do I know if they are the right person?

It is commonly portrayed in media that meeting "the right person" involves intense feelings like "butterflies" and an eagerness to see them. While some people experience this, it's also very common not to, and its absence doesn't automatically mean someone is wrong for you.

How do you actually know if you're in love?
I (23 M) have been dating this guy (24 M) for several months now and things have been going great. He’s really sweet and funny and kind and I definitely like him a lot, butttt I’m not sure if what I’m feeling is love love or just infatuation. Sometimes I think I love him and am ready to take our relationship to the next level, but other times I’m on the fence. Anyone have any advice? How do you know if you’re “really” in love with someone? What are the signs? Any advice would be appreciated!

What is a twin flame and have I met mine?
I (26f) recently started going out with this guy (25m) and it's been going amazing. We have such a strong connection and so much chemistry. I think we're meant to be together. I've heard a lot about twin flames and they seem similar to soulmates in a lot of ways, but I know they aren't, so I was wondering how to tell the difference and how to tell if this guy is my twin flame?
