Top 5 Signs You’re Falling In Love
You can’t keep your mind off them. It’s probably the most obvious sign. As you go about your day, they keep popping into your head like a wonderful weed. Sipping coffee, walking to class or work, even while listening to someone else talk—there they are. It’s like they’ve pulled up a chair in your brain and won’t go away, and you kind of like it.
You get flustered around them. Even if you’re usually a cool customer, when you’re in love, you tend to get at least a little nervous whenever you talk to your crush. You start stumbling over your words, or you draw a blank and don’t even know what to say. Your brain is short-circuiting because you’re in love!
You feel the need to share things with them. You want to share your thoughts and tell them about your day. You want to spill your guts and tell them all your little secrets. But it’s not just thoughts, either. You also want to share food, advice, or just your time. It’s like you feel a magnetic pull, or you’ve been caught in their gravity.
You start to notice little things about them. The way they twirl the ends of their hair between their fingers, or the way they eat their vegetables before the rest of their meal. When you’re in love, they have your full attention, and so it’s only natural that you start to notice things about them that you didn’t before. More importantly, you find these things totally irresistible.
Life is a little brighter. Love has a funny way of putting a skip in your step and making everything shine, where before things might have been totally ordinary, or even drab. People seem friendly, colors seem brighter, the air smells nicer. Love is a powerful drug, after all, and also the best one.
