Am I in Love?

Many people ask the question “Am I in love?” In my opinion, if you have to ask the question you are not in love. To answer this question, all you have to do is pick up a daisy and play the game. No, you don’t do that, but there are things that you can find if you are actually in love.

One thing that is confusing about the feeling of love is lust. Lust is a feeling of physical attraction towards another person. Lust is mostly sexual. A lot of people confuse lust with love. To clear this up, lust is mostly based on instant chemistry rather than the caring of someone. Basically, lust is acting only on physical attraction, but nothing more.

Obviously you can be attracted to someone and still be in love with them. Love is more than lust though. Love is based on a lot of qualities such as friendship, caring, trust, commitment, and communication. There are many more than that too. There are many things you can do to see if you are in love. Check out some of the things below to see if you are in love or not.

You Are Awed Easily

When you are in love with a person you are more in awe with them. You amazed and more interested in them than other people. You start to think that everything they do is completely amazing. You think they are the funniest, cutest person to exist on this planet.

You Are Always Thinking About Them

Another thing you can use to tell if you are in love with someone is to see if you are constantly thinking about them. Are you thinking about them before you fall asleep? Are you thinking about them when you wake up? If so, you may be in love with them. However, if these thoughts are all sexual then you may only be feeling lust. That is not saying that if you think about them sexually it is lust, it is more like a mix of romantic thoughts and sexual thoughts that is love.

You Get Comfortable

When you find yourself in love you will find that you become super comfortable with that person. You may find yourself doing silly things that you wouldn’t do in front of regular people. The good thing is, even though you act silly and stupid, the other person probably won’t care.

You Forget About People

You don’t literately forget them; you just have a tendency to not hang out with them. I like to call this the “Honeymoon Stage” You forget everything else in the world except this person. It will go back to normal over time, meaning once again you will hang out with your friends. You have to be careful about this though. You may not have these friends when you come back, they may have moved on.

You Think About Marrying Them

One thing that you think about when you are in love is marriage. You may be young, but you still think marrying this person may not be so bad. Not that you are going to have a wedding anytime soon, you just may think it would not be that bad. This can be equal for both men and women. Men are often thought of as the anti-marriage type, but men are not this way with someone that they are in love with.

If you do any of the above things you may be in love. Love is a wonderful thing and should be felt by all people.
