The sensation that comes with falling in love feels different for everyone.
Most people are never really sure if what they are experiencing is love or just a passing phase of deep infatuation.
Fortunately, our hormones and mannerisms have some subtle and weird ways of alarming our brain that there is something different about a current predicament.
Here are signs that you can watch out for the next time you find yourself in this precarious position;
1. Longing stares
If you find that your eyes constantly keep looking across a room to find your partner and then you lock eyes and stare at them longingly and lovingly then this is one sure sign that you're easing into the love slide.
2. A rush of hormones
When you are in love, your brain releases hormones such as dopamine and phenethylamine. These make you feel ecstatic and energized all the time. You cannot contain your overwhelming excitement. People in new relationships are prone to acting besides themselves.
3. You put them first unconsciously
When you are falling for someone, the biggest indicator is how you are in a constant pursuit of their happiness. You can go out of your way to make your partner's life easier and happier.
4. You become more relaxed
If suddenly things that previously boggled your mind cease to do so, and rather become inconsequential, then this could be a sign that you are falling in love. It is a normal phenomenon that feelings of sexual arousal can override feelings of being grossed out.
5. Open minded and welcoming
If you find yourselves consistently trying new things that your partner enjoys then it goes a long way to show your liking and acceptance of them. It is a common fact that the love experience always shifts our personalities even after the relationship ends.
6. Butterflies in the stomach
This is a common overstated phrase associated with that feeling of anxiety that individuals tend to get whenever they are around people they love and care for deeply. It's a feeling of being nauseous and sweaty, this mostly happens on the onset of the relationship.
7. You are attracted to the miscellaneous
Once you really get to know your partner, you are likely to notice some very subtle and unique habits that only they possess. Maybe how she tacks her hair behind the ear, or that one word that she repeats frequently, or that smile that she only gives to you. If you get attracted by this nitty-gritties then you are considered to have been cupidly flawed.
