Virtually every guy that crosses your path will sooner or latter say the magic words: let me love you, let me be your one and only, let me be your man, my love for you is for real, my love is everlasting love, my love is endless love, I will die for you, my love is true . . . and on and on they go toasting you and making you feel on top of the world. For many 'toasters', however, their let me love you motive is far from genuine. Once they get what they want, they walk out of your life leaving you with a broken heart.

Love test - how to tell if someone's love for you is true love

Take your would-be lover through the following love test

Love test 1: Does he love you? Does he discuss with you excitedly? Is there a glow in his eyes when he sees you? Does he light up and come alive when you are with him? Does he hold on to you when you are together and wishing you wouldn't have to leave and finding an excuse to delay your leaving? Does he call you again and again and several times a day? Is he bubbling over with excitement over the relationship? If he does all of that, he may just be in love with you. This let me love you lover may just be your Mr. right.

Hey, don't jump to final conclusion yet. Take him through the rest of the test.

True love test 2: Does he walk out on you during an argument? Remember that when you are married, there will be no where to walk to. Then what?

True love test 3: Is he a wife batterer? Do something stupid. See if he gets mad, really mad, and take out his anger on people around, his furniture or anything else except you. If he does, chances are he would take his anger out on you when he finally gets you.
