Falling in love is one of the best things that could happen. It can be blissful, yet overwhelming at the same time, especially when the whole world is playing commentary on your love life, just like it’s happening with Mercy and Ike.
It can be difficult to know if you are truly in love with someone or not, but here’s how to know you’re in love.
You are always thinking about them
Everything reminds you of them and thoughts about them are constantly distracting you.
You are always happy for no reason
You are in such a good place where life feels warm and safe because of the new emotions you are experiencing, you’ll always feel like you are on a high.
You are open to trying new things
You’ll do anything to make the person happy, including things that may scare or bore you.
You are always talking about them
Just like your thoughts are filled with them, you also might not be able to control how often you talk about them with friends, family, or acquaintances.
You can truly be yourself around them
You are not afraid that they will judge you or think less of you because of your actions. So, you feel free to let your guard down and act as naturally as you normally would.
You want them to know everything about you and vice versa
You want to tell them every detail about your life. What you like, dislike, your dreams, etc, and you also want to know everything about them.
You are more possessive
You start to get jealous when they are talking with people of the opposite sex and you may get a little paranoid that everyone wants them just as much as you do.
You want your faves to like them
Because you are head over heels in love with them and think they are the best thing to happen to you, you want everyone in your life to also know them and like them as much as you do.
You are more empathetic towards your partner
You feel their pain and will most likely do anything to take it away or make sure they never feel it again.
You are planning the future
You keep catching yourself making future plans with them in your head on matters that go as deep as marriage and having kids.
