How do I know if I'm in love?

You will start envisioning your life with the person. They will consume your thoughts no matter how you are feeling. You will want to be with them frequently and you will want them to experience life with you. Sometimes it is difficult to know if you are in love, but when it comes to you, there is not a better feeling. The relationship will not feel forced; it will feel easy. You will feel like you are able to share everything and anything with the person. They will become your “go-to” person that is with you through everything. They will make you feel safe and loved.

Well, I think you won't know that you're in love. It just happens. You start feeling things you have never felt before. Your partner's happiness becomes your happiness. His/her priority becomes your first priority. His/her problems becomes your problems and you feel a powerful sense of empathy towards them. You start smiling out of nowhere and the next thing you know, you are thinking about them. You start seeing a future with them. You fight for this person. You can turn the world upside for this person. Your heart rate and mind synchronizes with theirs. You wanna grow with them. You want to be good for them. Your everything starts with them and their happiness. You long to be with them. It's just a weird feeling and you're just happy about it.

When you are in love you are more forgiving than ever. You feel lighter no matter how much weight you are given by your life. You live by feeling an existence with you all the time who makes you feel you are not alone. You feel like you have someone whom you can go back to no matter what happens. You feel like you have a person who is home. You have a hard time thinking of drifting apart from that person. Simply seeing them calling or messaging makes you more than happy. Or hearing their voice makes your day. Funny is they can give you butterfies- both romantic and painful. Hope you realize you found your love at the right time in this world full of manipulating loves. Love.

Love is something quite subjective to notice and there are also different types. If you develop a crush for someone, you may pay more attention when they are around, feel nervous and want them to have a good image of you. Gradually as you get to know a person better the crush may develop in falling in love which is a stronger feeling (it happens gradually). They might lift up your spirit just by being around and you might wanting to spend as much time as possible with them. You might become protective of them (although that's something you can feel strongly for friends as well) but there also appear wishes that will be different from that of a friendship - because you are attracted to that person, you may like when not only they give you attention and are affectionate, but also enjoy or imagine kissing them or generally being physically intimate. Overall, it's quite a distinctive feeling you can't confuse, you may simply overestimate or underestimate its strength.

When I was in love, I usually think about the person frequently and have questions about the person in mind. I also thought about the person's well-being. Often, I find the person's habits quite adorable and note the person's dislikes and likes. Although it might sound creepy or weird, I usually catch myself noticing small details. The person's text would bring a smile to my face all the time. When I am around the person, I feel the happiest and smile like an idiot. I also find myself going great length for the person to make sure the person is safe, happy, and successful. Giving 10000% support when the person need it.

Love is understanding that a person is their own entirely separate entity, as are you. You both understand that at any moment one could walk away from the other and go on to live an entirely healthy and fulfilling life, but you choose not to go it alone. Love is committing to putting someone on the same level as you, to be never above nor beneath you. Love is arguing constructively, building positively and supporting equally. Love is a two way street with one lane. At times it's difficult to navigate, but with cooperation it can be done. Love is not saying that you love someone, but showing it through your actions. Love is being brave and secure with yourself, and taking a leap of faith to trust someone who owes you nothing. But in return they'll do the same. Love is consistent. Love is a sacrifice, but the reward is a best friend that cares for you as much as you do them, it's a warm spot on the other side of the bed and a level head to help you when you can't seem to balance your own. Love is the most powerful bond in the universe and it exists beyond the constructs of space, time and reality.

Think about that person and be aware of how they make you feel. Do they make you laugh or smile? Do you look forward to seeing them? These are some feelings that might show you your true feelings but as with many other emotions, being in love looks different for many people. Don't rush falling in love but if you think you are there do not be afraid to embrace those feelings and immerse yourself in that love. Being in love can be a wonderful thing and each person is deserving of that. Hope this helps! Don't forget to always love yourself as well as others.

You would know when everyday you think about that person. When you want to involve them in everything that you do. Wben you don't want them upset or crying because of you. When you are with them you feel a calm feeling. Every thing settles down when they are near. There will be fights and there are fights in every relationship but after each fight you both realize that the fight was not with each other. The fight was with the problem and then you both work it out together and grow stronger. That's when you know you're in love.

People who are in love generally feel a powerful sense of empathy toward their beloved, feeling the other person's pain as their own and being willing to sacrifice anything for the other person. When you're in love, you begin to think your beloved is unique. The belief is coupled with an inability to feel romantic passion for anyone else. Fisher and her colleagues believe this single-mindedness results from elevated levels of central dopamine — a chemical involved in attention and focus — in your brain. People who are truly in love tend to focus on the positive qualities of their beloved, while overlooking his or her negative traits. They also focus on trivial events and objects that remind them of their loved one, daydreaming about these precious little moments and mementos. This focused attention is also thought to result from elevated levels of central dopamine, as well as a spike in central norepinephrine, a chemical associated with increased memory in the presence of new stimuli.

If you think at that person most of the time, and when you do pleasant and intellectualy exciting thoughts come to your mind, then it can mean that you are in love with that particular person. If you seem an urge to talk to them everyday or you want to be around them and care for them, might also be a strong indication that you are in love. If you sometimes talk and you end up guessing what the other will say before they open their mouth or have time to think about that, that is also an indication to that particular conclusion.
