When a new relationship starts, many people tend to overthink whether or not they are falling in love with someone. However, falling in love is something that can't be forced, and isn't always obvious at first. If you are unsure of your feelings, examine yourself for ten signs that you may be in love with the person you're dating.
You're Comfortable Together
Comfort is one of the most important aspects of a loving relationship. If you find that you're at ease - that is, comfortable in all situations and not overly anxious - when you're with your significant other, there is a good chance that you're starting to fall in love.
You Don't Have an Appetite
One of the classic signs of falling in love involves literally forgetting to eat or not having a strong appetite. If you're so preoccupied with the person that your hunger fades away, you may be on your way to being in love.
You Stick Together through Hard Times
A loving relationship is not always smooth sailing and often involves going through difficult times together. If your relationship can withstand a bumpy road, chances are there is love involved.
You Think about the Person When You're Alone
When you fall in love, it isn't uncommon to simply not be able to get the person off your mind. If she's all you can think about, it may be more than just infatuation; it might be love.
You've Gotten Over an "Ex"
Getting over a breakup can be extremely difficult, and subsequent relationships often don't work out as a result. If you're in a current relationship, no longer upset about the ending of your previous relationship and feel truly happy, you're likely in love.
Friends Take the Backseat
If you vastly prefer to spend time with the person rather than hanging out with friends, there is a good chance that love is involved.
You Can Look Past the Person's Faults
Everyone has faults, and they often come to light early on in relationships. If you aren't bothered by your partner's less-than-desirable qualities, then it is likely that you have a good deal of love for him.
You Feel/Act Like Yourself
When a relationship starts, feeling like you can act like your true self around the person can be rather difficult. If you have no inhibitions about being who you are when you're with your significant other, it could mean love.
You Genuinely Care About the Person's Well-Being
Many people claim they know they're in love when they care more about their partners' well-being than their own. If you find yourself really caring about the person you are with, whether it be about her health, feelings or otherwise, you are likely in love with her.
Fights Don't Tear You Apart
Fighting is part of even the healthiest of relationships; the important thing is to be able to make up afterward. If fighting doesn't scare you away from one another, you are probably in love.
