12 Signs You Are In Love

We’ve grown up with the idea of love already embedded in our brains. When we were younger, we would watch movies and hope to find our prince charming. Then we grew up and found out love was a bit more complicated than that. Love can be messy and scary but it can also be beautiful and life changing. Here are 12 signs that you are in love with someone.

1. You think about them a lot.

It could be as simple as seeing a movie trailer that looks like something they’d be interested in or it could be imagining what your future kid’s eye color will be.

2. You go to them for everything.

They are the first you go to when you get an A on an exam. If you need advice or someone to rant to then they are always ready to listen. And they’re even there for when you need a shoulder to cry on.

3. You love the little things about them.

Their smile, their freckles, their laugh. Everything about them is beautiful to you.

4. You enjoy spending time with them.

You enjoy going on dates and parties but also live for the nights spent hanging out on the couch watching Game of Thrones.

5. Certain things make you think of them.

Songs, movies, books. It could be things that you’ve done together or just reminders of how amazing they are.

6. They make you feel like a better person.

It’s not that you feel pressured to change who you are. It’s that you feel as if you’re the best possibly version of yourself when you’re with them and they encourage you to continue being amazing.

7. You are open with them.

You tell them things that you’ve never told anyone else and sometimes even admit things you’re scared to tell yourself. There is that element that you aren’t afraid of them judging you or thinking you’re not valid.

8. You feel butterflies in your stomach.

No matter how long you’ve been together, you still feel that little skip in your heart and flutter in your stomach when you see them.

9. You’re attracted to things they don’t like about themselves.

Everyone is insecure about something, it’s what makes us human. But when you really get to know someone and fall for them, the things they hate about themselves become the things you love.

10. You have been with each other through thick and thin.

Life has its ups and downs. You know when you’ve found the one when they are able to be there for you during the good and bad times.

11. You aren’t afraid to say “I love you.”

It’s three little words that make a huge statement. But when you say it to them, it comes out naturally. And when they say it back to you it’s the best feeling in the world.

12. You can imagine a future with them.

You can’t see yourself growing old with anyone else and you wouldn’t want to. There is a picture of being together for the rest of your lives and it makes you smile. That warm feeling inside is what made you fall for them in the first place.
