Me (KWML): You make it easy for me to love you.
Her (ISFJ): You make it easy for me to trust you.

Simple question...how do you know when you have fallen in love with someone? Not lust or infatuation, but all the way, genuine love? What is/was that like for you? How were you around the object of your affection?

Why not?
Romeo and Juliette were in love, and Juliette was only fourteen years old. And naturally there were tears before bedtime.
Falling in love realises a common fantasy held by both an older man and a young woman, who is on the cusp of puberty. This fantasy is played out in disguised form on our silver screens time and time again. This fantasy is being challenged by #me too across the world as I write, and now it is called sexual harassment or rape.
The common fantasy of an older man an a young virginal women is played out in the Koran where the martyrs are promised virgins in heaven. And this fantasy, common to women on the cusp of puberty is called the Electra Complex, the counterpoint to the Oedipus Complex.
And it seems both the older man and the virginal women are determined to act out this fantasy in real life. And now there is a social movement opposed to the acting out of this fantasy.
So many times, this!When it's no longer about you anymore, but the other person.
So does fantasy equate to falling in love?
