Different people feel it differently and to different degrees.
There is no test to determine if you love.
When you are in love, you will *know* that you are in love.
You will know it in the same way that you know if you drop an apple it will hit the floor.
In the same way you know when you drink water it will quench your thirst.
You just know.
If you don't know whether you are in love then that's fine too. It's completely ok not to know.
One of the most beautiful things about love is that it can't be measured or proven.
It can't be seen or heard or tasted. Only felt.
And only by those who are in love.
Being able to say anything definitive about it would somehow take something away from it.
And when you love, the only one you need ever tell, in so many words, is the one you love.
If you truly love, then you do not need to say it, but for your lover to hear it will be as sweet a sound as ever they heard. So do say it. And feel it reflect back.
And if you do love, everyone else will know anyway.
