How to Tell if it's "Like" or "Love"

You went to dinner and made out during the movie. He took you bowling and you invited him over for a home-cooked meal. He likes you and you like him. Fast forward a couple of months and you're no longer sure which word best describes what you two share. "Like" just doesn't seem to cut it. Could the word that fits best possibly be...love? Who better to tell us than dating expert Ian Kerner.
Dear Ian,
I’m dating this guy and I’m not sure if I just like him, or if I’m potentially starting to, you know, uh, love him?

There’s no easy answer, but try taking the Dr. Ian “Love Test.”

Is he taking on special meaning?
Once we start liking someone, we begin to see that person’s unique qualities. Sure, he started out as just another spin on the dating treadmill, but now the others start to pale in comparison to him. There’s something, well, different about him. He's funnier, more intelligent, more sensitive than the rest of them. In short, he’s becoming special to you.
