Love, lámour, amor, amore, liebe, whatever language or languages you speak, love has the same definition according to dictionary.com: “an intense feeling of deep affection.” Sounds like a simple definition right? So that means that love itself is simple right? WRONG! You see, love can be both beautiful and magical like the love songs that you hear on the radio, watching those classic rom coms on repeat The Notebook or When Harry Met Sally, or even marrying the love of your life. But at the same time, love can be extremely complicated and even crazy at times. So in order to help you conquer this beautiful, magical, complicated, and crazy emotion, here are my top 5 signs of how you’ll know when your feelings for your crush develop into something more:
1. You have these weird mood swings:
Let me explain this one. You see, love can make you feel these certain emotions at certain times for no reason at all. Love can be unexplainable in both good and bad ways so sometimes you just get these really weird sensations. For example, one day you might feel very happy and energetic while the next day you will feel very depressed and you won’t want to talk to or deal with anyone. Overall, you just don’t feel or act like yourself.
2. You can’t stop thinking about him or her:
No, I’m not kidding, you literally cannot stop thinking about your dream partner. You think about them 24/7. Even at times when you don’t realize it. One day you could be listening to your Biology professor lecture about photosynthesis then your mind could suddenly drift off into your own little world of what your life would be like with that perfect guy or girl. Then the next day you could be having a romcom movie night with your friends and when that intense make out session scene comes along you think about what it would be like to kiss the one that you love. That special someone is the very first thing on your mind when you wake up, when you go to bed, and you can’t help but dream about them all day long.
3. You never get bored of him or her:
You could honestly spend an entire day looking at or talking to your lover and you will wouldn’t even bother to look at the time on your phone, check your messages from other people, or come up with some lie about leaving them alone. You just love to examine every single detail of them, such as: what they wear on a typical day, what their dreamy eye color is, what their flowy hair would look like on a windy day, and of course their bright and heart-warming smile that just makes your heart beat a little faster than ever before. You also feel like you could talk to them about anything from your pet cat named mittens to their pet fish named bubbles and it could be the most interesting conversation that you’ve ever been a part of.
4. Other men or women are a blur compared to them:
You can’t help but notice a random attractive guy or girl walk by you but when you’re in love, that random attractive guy or girl who you don’t really care about slips your mind. You don’t have the urge to flirt or even go up and talk to them. There is simply no one else who you can compare your special someone to. Your life right now is like a room filled with millions of guys or girls when the only one that you really seem to notice is him or her in a shining spotlight.
5. You start thinking about your future with him or her in it:
This one may be the most obvious sign. Not only would you be thinking about dating them, but you would be thinking about how long you guys would be dating, where you guys would be if you broke up, where would you guys be if you didn’t break up, if you guys would ever get married, how long you guys would be married for, if you will ever have kids with them. You get the point right? Overall, the way you feel about this particular person is nothing like you’ve ever felt about someone else before. Because that person is amazing just the way they are. So can you feel the love tonight? Will your heart go on? You are crazy in love!
