You will feel happy and have butterflues in your stomach. You will start to care what the person thinks of you and you will want to spend every second with the person. You can't get your mind off of the one and you will imagine how your life would look if you were together. You might feel a little nervous around the person as well.

You are happy when you hear their name mentioned. You think about them everyday what they are up to. They are your best friend. You enjoy spending time with that person

That's kind of simple.. your heart start to race and you look for a reason to be with other person. The thought of them gone just kind of makes you all panicking.

My mind turns into a ticking timebomb, and an unconctrollable fear of it makes me feel as if I am losing controll. Actively, I try to manipulate myself to believe I have emotions for others, even tho I know it is false. Eventually, I have to give in, as I know I can't keep on messing like that.

You will smile for no reason. He/She will be occupied in your mind completely. You will be so eager to meet him/her, if you meet or talk, the very next second you will start missing them. You will start thinking your future with him/her. A message or a call from him/her in unexpected situations is the best, makes you all happy. You start enjoying being alone with his/her thoughts all over your mind. Your surroundings can easily find good difference in you, in the way you behave, everything changes for good. Hope this answer helps. All happy, good luck and cheers. God Speed.

You know you're in love when he/she is the first person you wanna run to, to share your happiness or sorrow with. And that person's presence is enough to make your day better.

you know when you're in love when you can't stop reading the text messages over when they're taking forever to reply. You know when you see them look at someone else and you get super jealous. You know when you see them but right when they leave you miss them already. You know when whatever they're going through you want to help them and you never want them to be sad or upset.

When they are the one you find yourself always thinking about, when they’re your lady’s thought before sleeping, when all you can ever wonder is what they’re doing, when your world practically revolves around them and you find yourself caring for them a lot

Many ways to know if you are in love. When you listen to a love song, you think about him/her. Sometimes you can't stop thinking about where they are or what they are doing. You start smiling when they are around you/ when you receive a call or text from him/her. You think they always do it right. They are the best part of your day and you always like seeing them. If you find yourself considering whether this person feels similarly and you look for for signs that they're missing you, too, that's another signifier. It doesn't feel like a sacrifice when you have to make changes to your own calendar (say, brunch with your girlfriends) in order to ensure you're available to attend something important to them. Thats all i know :) thanks for reading.

If you start caring for a person more than yourself.when you want them to grow and become better not just for yourself but for their own selves. When you want the other person to be happy, if it's with you or not. When keep on thinking about them and wish only happiness for them. When you stand by them when they're down and you help them stand up and find the light of their own being. And when you do this all selflessly, then it's called love.

I know if I'm in love if I feel that I would continue seeing someone after no longer being physically attracted to them, and seeing them in a capacity where I'm still very much excited to see them and take the time out of my day to devote to them. I believe time is the most valuable thing you can give someone, but if you're really in love I think that person should take priority over most other things or people in life. The silly metric I use is if someone had a different face, would I still be just as excited to see them after work

Feelings of empathy? Mood swings around that person? Are you focusing on the positive side? if all 3 yes - most likely you are in love, congratulations!

In my experience, you just know. there aren't any rules and it may be way different for you than for others, but you just kinda know.

You can't stop thinking about the person, and anything you do, will always make you feel wonder about what might the person wouls react on your action. You feel (a hopefully) healthy jeallousness and objectivation towards the peer, and you feel like you miss something, when she/he is not involved.

From my experience, you are in love when you wake up and look forward to seeing them. Every second of your day, you feel excited whenever they talk to you, text you, etc.. Your day gets better whenever you see them and it just feels like you're on "Cloud 9", like you're just so happy that there's no good word to describe it. You smile at everything they do, no matter if it's good or bad, and you can always rely on them and they can rely on you as well. It just feels like you're constant excited and happy.

You'll feel like that person means the world to you, you'll want to talk to them all the time and when you don't you'll feel a little sad. When they send you a video or call you, you'll have a moment where you just feel so happy. You'll smile when they do the littlest things. Their laugh will make you laugh and their smile will make you smile.

it is when that person won't leave your mind.. that person makes you happy and sad at the same time... happy when they are around... and missing them when they are not... you are willing to set aside your own happiness for them... being inlove makes you do things that you don't want to do... you always long for the presence of that person even if they are the reason of your tears... simple things does remind you of that person... your simple ways in life you want them to be informed... you never see their flaws... instead you cover them... their simple ways leaps your heart... their smile... their laughter... the way they look... even their sent makes you happy... you want them to be part of the first and the last thing of your day😊💕

When you can't go a day without speaking to your significant other. When they tell you they love you and you get this feeling in your stomach. When you love unusual things about them.When you love their flaws. That's how I knew I when I fell inlove. Been together for almost 10 years now. I love the little things. His smile and the way he coughs. It's just so cute to me. Just him walking is the cutest thing ever. Lol So yeah. If you feel any of these , that might tell you that your inlove. Good luck and I wish you the best.

Love is a tough concept to deal with. Why? Love can be mistaken for attachment. Love comes from inside the heart of the human being. There are creation aspects that can help you identify this. The first example is Want vs Need. An individual that loves someone genuinely will not fear change, interaction, or honest communication with the other person. He/she can live without the other individual but they want them the other person with them. He/she can admit their mistakes and forgive each other. An individual that is attached can fear change and will beg and plead that they can't live without the other person. He won't make attempts to fix things either and might make jealous moves to make the other person guilty.

How do you know if you are in love? I'll tell you. You know you are in love when their smile melts yours heart or when you could die to make them smile. You know you are in love when just thinking about them makes you smile. You know you are in love when the first thing you think when u wake up is them and also the last thing you think about before going to be. You know that you are in love when they cry your heart explodes from sadness and you feel bad. You know you are in love when you see them from across the street maybe with even the ugliest sweatpants and a Tshirt and they are still beautiful

You'll feel safe and calm around that person or you might start blushing, and just get this fuzzy feeling in your heart making you feel warm and joyful, your smile might widen and your day will become 10 times better when just seeing that special person, the way you just feel like you can absolutely tell that special person anything, love is something you' can sense when its there, it'll just feel right and amazing, when you are in love, there will always be a beating heart full of excitement in your chest, a heart directing you towards your happiness!

When you start to love yourself more around a person, and when you see them as a part of you, you know you're in love. Aside from the butterflies in the stomach, the person you're in love with will make you feel like you're on top of the world. With them, you'll learn and be willing to learn so much more. You'd trust them with anything, and you'd never break their trust either. They make you crave their presence because every experience with them seems so magical regardless of how simple the task may be. And as cheesy as it sounds, if you think you're in love, you probably are.

This is a question I’ve always been curious about! It’s hard to figure out whether one is in love or just comfortable with the companion of someone. But I think being in love is something that’ll take some time to realise. But a few signs I’d like to believe is that once you’re in love, you’ll look beyond the ‘defects’ of someone. You will love someone not only for their good part, but also their bad part. I think signs like missing your partner and wanting to do more for your partner are signs as well, though they could be misunderstood with infatuations as well. :-)

Love is less an involuntary feeling and more a choice. Choosing to love someone when you are arguing or when they let you down is real love. Knowing that your partner will still love you despite your flaws, is more powerful than the temporary euphoria you get from physical contact or a honeymoon phase. Though both are fun :)

To know if you're in love, think about the person and how they make you feel, make sure that they make you feel good things and not anything bad that makes you feel anxious. Think about whether you always want to text them and see them and whether u think that they want to text you. If you realise that you are constantly wanting to see them then this is a good sign because it means that you are comfortable in their presence and want to be with them more often. This can also often be a good sign that you aren't getting bored of them in terms of the future
