How to support a friend who might be confusing intensity with love

My best friend is convinced she's found her soulmate after two weeks with someone new and I'm watching her make all these huge life decisions based on what she calls 'the deepest love she's ever felt.' I want to be supportive but I also don't know how to talk to her about whether this intensity she's feeling is actually love or something else without seeming like I'm judging her.

More people experience this than they realize.
