No Set Rules On Love

Dear Miss Emily:
I have been with my boyfriend officially for 3 months and, crazy as it sounds, i fell in love with him right away. How we met was truly like a movie. We've been through some troubles with trust, and we've learned to talk things out. We've established our issues and we are working on them and, as a whole, I would say we are getting stronger. But I spoke with a friend who has been in a relationship for the same amount of time, and she was saying how she is always thinking of her boyfriend and they always are around each other and that's how she knows they're in love. My boyfriend and I never really had the "always talking" or "always around" each other relationship, but I am still in love with him. And he's not always on my mind no matter if it's good, or bad. I mean I do miss him when he's away, but it's nothing extreme. Does this mean I'm not in love with him anymore or are we just past the cute "honeymoon stage" everyone talks about?
---------------------------------Miss Emily's advice--------------------------------
No, every relationship is different, and felt it its own way. I'm not saying you and he will work for the long-haul, but some relationships take time to build to a level of mutual satisfaction. You and he have been working toward that and, hopefully, it's creating a solid foundation. You said you're in love with him, and I believe you. The "honeymoon stage" you mention can go up in smoke -- overnight, so please don't make that your barometer.
