There's a cliche saying about being in love, "you just know." It's terribly unhelpful and misleading, and somehow also very accurate.
The tricky thing is, you can have times where you think you know, and then later realize that it wasn't so. I almost wonder if you have to get a few of those "oh that wasn't actually love" experiences before the "you'll just know" concept will be possible. But that may just be my experience.
In my mind the most important thing is that you both feel equally enamored with the other, that each of you put an equal effort in, and that you're considerate of the other.

"In Love" = Infatuation, Limerence, or "Puppy Love" caused by flood of endorphins in the brain.
"Love" = The reciprocated giving of comfort, devotion, familiarity, honor, mercy, respect, sacrifice, and trust.
"Lust" = Surge or spike in reproductive hormones in the body.
