Ways to know if you're in love

​How to Know if You're in Love Lots of feelings of love and there's no single way to know whether you're really feeling it — or just in the throes of a serious infatuation. Still, the best way is paying attention and listening to the language of the heart . If you want to know how to do it, just follow these steps. One: Realizing what you want See if you can’t picture a future without your loved one. If you’re really in love, then you shouldn't be able to picture your future without them. Whether at night, or in the morning, or with your friends, the fact that you can't stop means you're in love, — then you may be truly in love. Here are some other signs that you’re truly in love: If you can't think about starting a new chapter of your life, whether it's just for a day or a move to a new place, without your loved one at your side. If you've thought about having children but can't imagine having kids with anyone other than your loved one. If you can't imagine growing old without your loved one by your side. See if you can’t go a few hours without thinking of your loved one. To be in love, you don’t have to be obsessive about your loved one; in fact, quite the opposite is true. If you have a healthy loving relationship, then you should be able to spend time apart from your loved one without obsessing over what he or she is doing when not with you. However, if you can go a whole weekend, or a whole month, without your loved one once crossing your mind, then you may like him a lot, but you may not necessarily have reached the love stage yet. Here are some other signs that you’re really in love: If you read a book or see a movie without your loved one, you may wonder what he or she would think of it. If you're trying on clothes without your special someone, you may think about how he would like your new look. If you call or text your loved one just because you want to say hi or hear his or her voice, then you may be falling in love. See if you truly value the opinions of your loved one. If you’re really in love, then you won’t just be thinking of your loved one as a perfect object that should be worshipped, but as a living, breathing human being with an interesting perspective and many unique opinions. If you’re really in love, then you should value your loved one’s opinion and should care about what he or she thinks, whether it’s about your next career move or the political situation in your country. Though you don’t have to care what he or she thinks about absolutely everything, if you don’t truly value the input of your loved one, then you may not be in love. Two See if your loved one made you want to be a better person. If you’re really in love, then you shouldn't just be completely comfortable in your status quo, even if you’re very content with your loved one. Though being happy with the relationship you have and the person that you are is essential, being with your loved one should make you want to take your life to the next level and If you care more and pray more about your love one, it's another way to show you're in love If you're in a difficult social situation and value your special someone's opinion of what you should do, then you may be falling in love. If you care what your loved one thinks about the movie or anything else that truly matters to you, then you may be falling in love. If you want to work on addressing your flaws and developing your character just from being around your loved one, then you may be falling in love. See if you feel like the best version of yourself when you’re with your loved one. If you’re in love, then the person you love should bring out the best in you. After all, if you’re in love, then you should want to be with the person you’re with for the rest of your life, so that person should make you feel like your best self. Here are some signs that you’ve fallen in love: If you feel at your most handsome or beautiful when you're around your loved one, even if you're just rocking a casual look. If you feel like you're at your smartest and sharpest when you're talking something through with your partner. If you feel your most confident around your loved one, and never have to worry if you're going to sound stupid when you begin to say something. See if you’re aware of your loved one’s flaws – and are okay with them. If you’re really in love, then you should be able to see your significant other as a real live human being with real human flaws – not as a god or a goddess. If you insist that your loved one is perfect, then you have a real problem. But if you’re comfortable admitting that your loved one can be a bit selfish or isn’t the world’s greatest listener, then you have a more realistic perspective on the relationship and are much more likely to be in love for real. Being aware of your loved one's flaws doesn't mean you shouldn't help him or her address them if that's the right thing to do. If you can't possibly think of two or three things that make your special someone less than perfect, then you may not be truly seeing the person for who he or she is. If you and your loved one are comfortable enough with each other to laugh about one another's flaws, then you're more likely to be really in love. Noticing What You do or say See if you can truly say what’s on your mind in front of your loved one. If you’re really in love, then you shouldn't hold back when you talk to your loved one. This doesn't mean that you should tell him or her every little thing that’s bothering you or nag him or her because you feel like you’re being honest, but it does mean that you should be comfortable enough in your relationship to be able to bring up something that’s bothering you, or sharing your true feelings, without feeling like it’s not worth it because your loved one will be bored, angry, or just won’t care. If you can tell your boyfriend or girlfriend exactly how you feel about something without worrying that you sound immature or stupid, then you may be falling in love. If you're okay with cracking a joke, no matter how corny it may be, then you and your loved one are on the same page. See if you’re happy to spend hours talking about nothing with your loved one. If you’re really in love, then you and your loved one don’t have to have deep discussions about the meaning of life or about the status of your relationship all the time. If you've gotten off the phone with your loved one after laughing the whole time and wondering, "What did we just talk about?" then you may be in love. See if you’re comfortable revealing your weaknesses to your loved one. If you’re truly in love, then you should be comfortable enough to let your loved one to see the real you, even if that means showing your less-than-flattering side. If everything you say is devised to make your significant other like you or want to be with you even more, then you’re not comfortable with him enough to be really in love. If you’re willing to open up and talk about your past mistakes or grievances, then you’re more likely to be in love. You don't have to tell the person you love every last thing that has caused you pain, but you should be able to feel better after mentioning it. If you're in love, you'll accept each other, flaws and all. See if you’re always finding new ways to compliment your significant other. If you’re really in love, then when you feel the urge to compliment your partner, you should feel a fresh thought come to mind. If all you can think of is, “You’re so hot” or “You’re so funny,” then you have to dig deeper to find why you really love the person you’re with. You should be able to compliment the strong suits of the person you’re with — inside and out. If you're always finding yourself pleasantly surprised by the seemingly endless good qualities that your loved one demonstrates, then you may be in love. If you often tell your special someone things you love about him or her — and really mean it — then you may be in love. If you're in love, then you will notice them for their inner beauty, not (only) their outer beauty. See if you enjoy doing the little things with your loved one. True love isn't like an episode in a Philippines Series— though having a romantic picnic in a somewhere nice can be intensely romantic and an incredible experience, real love means being able to find the fun in the mundane things with your loved one, from having a cup of ice cream and stopping to get popcorn on the way home.
