It is a very common question, "How can I
tell I'm in love?", but it is not an easy question to answer. What feels
like love to one person may be nothing more than attraction to another. Some
people fall in and out of love quickly and often while others are never really
in love as much as they are in lust. This can get confusing when you are a teen
because romantic love is a relatively new concept for you and you don't know
what to expect. You are overwhelmed with all sorts of new feelings and social
pressures. They are confusing. What is love? What makes you want a romantic
relationship with one person and not another? How does your heart choose a
partner? Why does love end? These questions can't be easily answered.
There is no easy way to find the truth behind
your feelings or the feelings of another person but there are some tell-tale
signs that love is blooming (or growing deeper). If this signs below are
applicable to you, Buddy! You are probably in love.
You're
scared to death...
of losing her, of keeping her, of never being
with another woman... the list goes on and on. Are you ready for all this? What
if it crashes and burns like your last relationship? Wait, how did you let this
happen again? Yet deep down, you know you’re going for it anyway.
You'll do
whatever it takes to impress her.
“You want to go for salsa dance? Sure."
"And eat at the vegetarian restaurant afterward? Why not?” When you’re
willing to bend your own rules, try new things, and go the extra mile for her -
like walking her fluffy, little dog when she’s sick or helping her move when
you should be watching the game - chances are, it’s that crazy little thing
called love.
She's on
your mind, she's on your mind...
She comes into your thoughts constantly: “Sally
would love this restaurant,” “I wonder what she’s doing?” or “What can I text
her without sounding too sprung?” You want her to be thinking of you too, of
course, so you make up little excuses to call and say hi. Thinking about her
while hoping and praying she’s thinking about you? Yeah, you’re a goner.
She makes
you want to be a better man.
The stakes are high when you meet a woman
that blows your mind. You become more serious and focused about getting your
act together and fixing your money situation or hitting the gym. Things that
used to dominate your mind just aren't as important anymore. Yes, your
favourite team just lost, but the sting isn’t quite as bad with her sitting
next to you. Besides, her rubbing your shoulder might even make it worth it.
You just
want her to be happy.
It’s not just about you anymore. When her
boss is working her to death, you help her figure out what to say. If she’s
sick, you’re at the store buying soup and crackers. After she gets in a fight
with her sister - even though you may have no idea what the fight was really
about - you distract her so she can get back to her usual self. Because when
she’s happy and laughing and so alive… there’s just nothing else like it.
You can't
wait to share the good news.
Your friends know her name, her dog’s name,
how she likes her eggs... Because when you’re head over heels, you talk about
her. A lot. You hold her hand in public and keep your arm around her so no one
gets any funny ideas about moving in. She’s pretty special, after all - how
exactly did you get her again? - and you want the world to know.
You just
can't resist anymore.
Believe me, you’ve tried. You swore after
your last relationship that you were done - it's just not worth it - but all
attempts to cease and desist have proven futile. There’s no such thing as too
much of this woman; you want her there when you’re happy, sad, tired, sick. You
know practically all there is to know about her, and most of it is pretty
great. Yep, it's official. You, my friend, are in love.
