Dating and Love

How do you know that you're dating a person that you would like to be with for a long time? Is it the fireworks that go off when you kiss or the butterflies you get when that person walks into the room? I think it is, but how do you know when you want to continue something or end it? I mean if you enjoy the person company a great deal and really do like hanging out with him, but when you kiss nothing seems to be there other than the pleasure of being with them, does that mean that you two are better off friends? But maybe it could turn into something good.

When I think of dating someone, I want it to be like in a love story. I want the butterflies when I see him, the fireworks when we kiss, the moments where I catch myself grinning like a fool for being with him, those awful and completely gushy romantic instances, the need to see his face every day, the ability to play and act silly with a partner in crime, and the inconvenient, uncontrollable, all-consuming love. That is all I want.

That isn't too much to ask for, is it? It's not like I am asking for a knight in shinning armor who has a six pack and can serenade me with music, but it would be nice. To be honest, I would never even care for that unless it meant that I would get true love. Maybe Olive in the motion picture "Easy A" even has it right when she talks about an 80's movie romance with the boombox, lawn mower, a fist in the air, and even the musical number for no apparent reason.
