I really love this person but my parents say that it is just a crush. How can I tell if I really love him/her or not?

Love is a word that means different things to each individual. Only you can work this out. Remember that your parents have lots of experience and you may want to consider what they have to say.

Sometimes parents don’t realize how important or how deep their son or daughter’s relationship is and don’t take it seriously. Talking about your relationship and making time for your parents to get to know your partner will help this understanding.
