From Reader's Digest®: Tests and Teasers, © 1980, pg. 76

Millions of teen-agers ask the question: "How will I know I'm in love?" As Dr. David R. Mace, executive director of the America Association of Marriage Counselors, put it: "It's always always difficult to know for sure -- especially when you're young."

This quiz was prepared after extensive consultations with experts who have made wide-scale studies of this wonderful yet mysterious emotion. It should help a young person make that all-important decision: "Is it love -- or something else?"
