Are You In Love?

Are you in love? There are times when people find it hard to say for sure if they really are in love. After all, the line that distinguishes between love and infatuation is so fine that it gets confusing sometimes. If you yourself are not sure with what you are feeling, read on. Listed below are signs which indicate that you have indeed been hit with Cupid’s arrow:

• Atypical physical reactions - When you are in love, you’d find yourself with unusual body responses. The said responses are unusual because they are only manifested in the presence of your special someone. The atypical physical reactions a person in love exhibits include the following: the seemingly constant smile plastered in one’s face, butterflies in the stomach (when waiting for the person), flushed cheeks (when given a compliment), and goosebumps (or shivers, when the beloved touches the person). If you exhibit these symptoms, you may be in love, but only when you have the other signs in this list.

• Constant reminders – If you are in love, you will be reminded of the person you are dating all the time. It doesn’t matter what it is; it can be a song you heard on the radio, a picture you saw in a magazine, or a dish another person ordered in a restaurant. Even the littlest, seemingly insignificant things bring your thoughts back to your partner.

• Worries – If you used to be a laid back person who doesn’t stress too much and then suddenly you become a worrywart, you may be in love. A person in love becomes so concerned about the well-being of the other that details often overlooked become objects of worry. Has he/she arrived home safe? Did he/she get to work on time? Did he/she eat lunch already? These questions will plagued your mind if you’re in love.

• Everything seems perfect – People in love see through rose-colored glasses. The intensity of emotion shifts their perspective in a way wherein they only see the best traits in the other person. For a person in love, the beloved can do no wrong.

• The Need to Flaunt – There’s this saying: ‘if you’ve got it, flaunt it.’ Somehow, that also applies to a person who was recently shot by Cupid. A person in love will waste no time flaunting his or her relationship to every person he or she knows. Their passion for the other is so overwhelming that they cannot wait to share the good news to their friends and family. If you’re really in love with your current squeeze, it shouldn’t surprise you if you find the urge to shout about it from the rooftops.
