Does he or she love me back? is love mutual?

Love is a mutual feeling, and both parties should be equally invested in the relationship. The best way to determine if someone loves you back is to communicate with them and to pay attention to their actions. If the other person is responsive to your feelings and is willing to put in effort to make the relationship work, it is more likely that they feel the same way.

It's important to remember that everyone expresses their love differently, and it's not always easy to read the signs. Some people may be more reserved and not as expressive, while others may be more open and demonstrative.

It's important to have open and honest communication about your feelings, and to listen to the other person's feelings as well. If you have doubts and concerns, it's better to talk about it and clear any doubts you may have rather than guessing or assuming.
