There are many different kinds of love. The main marker that I look for is when I care more for that person than I do for myself, but often I find that there are many people I feel that way about. I love my mom, for example, but not nearly in the same way I love my girlfriend. I love my ex-girlfriend, but not in the same way I love my girlfriend.
I think the best way I've ever heard love described was from a Sunday School teacher of mine. I disagreed with everything she said, except for this: "The difference between love and infatuation is time because they both feel the same at first."
