Are you in love? Well , maybe you are. Or maybe you are just confused because you do not know if the person you are supposedly in love with is “the one” or not. You ask around but the only thing you get out of those people is “you just know”. What is that supposed to mean!? How do you JUST KNOW?
A better way to figure out if your partner is the one or not is to cross out this checklist.
• Do you find yourself saying “we” more than “I” or “me”? If yes, then it means that in your subconscious you view the relationship as a very intimate one where you are connected deeply on an emotional level. In simpler words, you might be in love.
• You think sacrificing is a tough thing to do and that you would never do it. But when the situation calls for it, you are actually very willing to sacrifice for your other half. If that is the case, then you know the other person is way more special to you than you think.
• Ever happened that you could not stop looking at your lover’s face? Well, not in a creepy way. I am talking more about the romantic, long stare, slow motion, serene music, complete-C-grade-rom-com movie scene. According to a recent study, visual appreciation or attention is proportional to the amount of love or admiration you have for that person.
• The idea of dependency sucks for you. You hate it. However, you don’t mind if from time to time, he pays, or if takes you shopping. It doesn’t have to be monetary though- sometimes you feel that you can rely on the other person to run an errand for you. And you would not mind doing all the same for them. This is a sign that your relationship has moved on to the more mature side and you are ready to get serious.
• No one really wants to say this out loud but love is just a chemical reaction, just like drug addiction. So if you are addicted to another person’s presence like he is some sort of drug, you know what that means!
• If your partner is the one, you start noticing all the similarities between you two, and according to research backed by a lot of scientific evidence, you also start mirroring each other. Mirroring is when you pick on some of the other person’s habits or sayings.
• And this one is like a “duh”! You are physically attracted to this person no matter what. It does not matter if they are fat or skinny, fair or dark, socially accepted as “beautiful” or “ugly”, you love this person and their body to bits!
