We've all been in a relationship in which we have invested time and effort, but it just doesn't feel right. Though we often fail to put our fingers on exactly what goes wrong in relationships, we can more easily feel when we are in the right relationship. Those questionable feelings are not there, and you feel confident you are with the right one for you. Here are 12 things that happen when you begin dating the right person:
1. You start to adopt some of their personality traits.
You catch yourself singing to strangers at red lights and ordering extra ranch on the side, which only they would do.
2. Their happiness becomes your happiness.
When you hear about them landing their first real job, you're the one crying tears of joy.
3. You find yourself smiling just because you're with them.
Either that or the Hawaiian pizza you ordered is just. that. good.
4. Your family and friends love them.
Your family would rather talk to them over you half the time, and you can't go anywhere without your friends asking where they are.
5. Open communication always happens, even when you don't agree.
Even if it's a tough topic to talk about, you're both willing to have those conversations in order to strengthen your relationship.
6. They accept your flaws.
Crying over Ben choosing Lauren B. and binge-eating Graeter's Ice Cream on a weekly basis? They get the tissues and the spoon.
7. Arguments are no longer reasons not to be together, but to work on something as a team.
Fights are going to happen, but approaching them with an open mind leaves your relationship even stronger than before it occurred.
8. You go out of your way to make their day.
You know they're pumped about the new "Star Wars"? Bringing a lightsaber to the theater for them is bound to make it that much better.
9. Not seeing each other every day does not mean you love each other any less.
Life happens. By being able to be apart, your time together will be more valuable.
10. But when push comes to shove, they will be there in a heartbeat.
Those days when nothing seems to be going right? They're the ones who can still make you laugh.11. You don't question their morals or intentions.
No matter what the situation, you feel confident you're the one for them.
12. And you can't imagine your life without them.
Because you've absolutely found your person.
