How to Really Know You're in Love

1. The feeling of a racing heartbeat is no longer just a coincidence
In the early stages of a relationship, we often experience that feeling of our heart beating faster, and when we see each other, we can't help but smile, and our hearts are full of excitement. This feeling has a hint of mystery and freshness, as if everything is full of expectations. As time goes by, this feeling of excitement begins to become the norm. When you are with the other person, it is no longer just nervousness, but because you enjoy every moment with him, and your heartbeat will naturally speed up. This is a sign that you no longer regard him as just an ordinary friend or stranger, but a real relationship.

2. The mutual entanglement between thinking and emotion
When you are truly in love, you will find that your thoughts and emotions begin to revolve around the other person. When you make any decision, you will subconsciously consider the other person's feelings and needs. You want to know everything about him, whether it is his preferences, habits, or some of his little worries. You will be curious about his life and begin to be willing to make changes and adjustments for him. You may feel that you are becoming more tolerant and accepting of the other person's shortcomings and deficiencies. This deep emotional bond is something that "liking" cannot provide.

3. Every encounter with the other person is full of anticipation
When two people are in love, they often have a mentality of meeting each other without seeking results. Every time they meet, they are full of expectations, whether it is a simple lunch date, a walk together, or even just sitting together to watch a movie. Love makes every encounter with each other special, and even ordinary moments can become worth cherishing because of the company of each other. When you find yourself having such a strong desire to spend time with him, it means that you are experiencing true love.

4. You start imagining the future
People who are truly in love will start to consider the other person's position in their future plans. You no longer live simply for yourself, but have the idea of ​​building a future together. You start to think about "us" instead of "me". You may plan to travel together, discuss your future home, and even imagine how you will spend the rest of your life together. Such a future vision is not a fantasy, but a natural extension of the deep feelings for each other in your subconscious.

5. Spiritual dependence
Although love does not mean dependence, a true relationship is often accompanied by a sense of spiritual dependence. You begin to rely on the other person emotionally, expecting the other person's company and support when you are confused, tired or upset. You are willing to share your inner world with him and confide everything to him. This kind of dependence does not mean a lack of independence, but the emotional support and encouragement of two people.

6. You work hard for your partner’s happiness
The best part of love is the willingness to work for the other person's happiness. When you really love someone, you will unconsciously give to him/her, and this kind of giving does not seek rewards, but comes from the heart's willingness. You care about the other person's mood, health and future, and even lend a hand without hesitation when the other person encounters difficulties. You work hard for the other person's smile and happiness, not out of responsibility or obligation, but because you want him/her to live a better life.

7. There are no “ifs” in relationships
Many people in a relationship will think "what if we break up?" But when you are truly in love, you will not think about these questions as often. You are more focused on how to move forward together and how to face the challenges in life, rather than thinking about life after separation. The "if" in a relationship becomes less important, and what is important is to build together in the present and the future.

Conclusion
Love is the sublimation of emotion. It is not achieved overnight, but gradually deepens with the passage of time, mutual understanding and common experiences. When you begin to realize that you care about the other person, give for the other person, and find the image of the future in him, you can be sure that you have fallen into the whirlpool of love.

True love is not just about sweet words and romantic times, but also about the determination of two people to walk hand in hand after going through all kinds of ups and downs.
