Hello! I've got a question since all of you have obviously read the books.

Welllll..... She loves him because hes always giving to her, whether its in material type things, or in mental/ physical things, when they kiss she feel totally breathless but shes always going back for more, and at the same time hes mysterious but Bella knows everything about him, and above all Edward is always opting for Bellas best interest, hes not selfish or wanting Bella just for her blood and body, but he sincerly cares about the person she is, and shes not someone Edward already knows everything about,and he never knows what to expect from her, also she and he are both mature and very alike even though they almost always seem to be completely different physically, their minds are both in for the long hall:).... So um yeah lol thats why i think they are in love.

I pretty much agree with MariahRG, but I think it might also have something to do with Bella being a "shield". Not only that Edward can't hear her thoughts. But how other humans find the Cullens unsettling, Bella never really does. So maybe she got to know and love him because she was never instinctively repelled by him because of her shield.
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but ever since I found out about her ability, I'd always thought it had something to do with her not acting like other humans when they come in contact with the Cullens.

It's not the point thats he's hot cuz trust me he is NOT. Its the point that they really no way to except it really.

i think she loves him because she likes his lifestyle, and she sees herself like that. she loves jacob too, she said so herself, she didint choose edward because she loved him more, she chose him because she though thats where she would fit in better, so she loves them both, but at the end, she ended up choosing edward to help herself!
