Yes, you know when/if you've fallen in love.
I thought I'd been in love until I met this guy recently. THEN I realized what I felt before was just infatuation. Being in love is something different. When we'd planned to see each other I would feel nervous for several days before meeting him and when we talked I felt like I could talk to him for days and weeks. He made me want to become a better person, and I just had this feeling that I would love him no matter what would happen to him.
If you are in doubt you're probably in the early stages of infatuation which could later develop into love.
It sounds like you are in love. It's quite natural to feel melancholic/depressed when you are away from the person you are in love with.
But be careful, don't let yourself fall to deep until you've got to know him a bit more.
Enjoy his company and just let things unveil naturally. If he feels the same about you, the distance doesnt necessarily have to be a problem.
