Knowing youre in love feels different for everyone. Some have been in love often and know the feeling well, and others may be not so sure if its love or just a deep infatuation.
Luckily, your body has some pretty sneaky ways of tipping you off to whether these feelings for your partner are more than just a passing phase. Keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs the next time you catch yourself wondering if youre actually in love.
You cant stop staring at them.
If your partner has ever caught you staring at them lovingly, it could be a sign that youre head over heels. Eye contact means that youre fixated on something, so if you find that your eyes are fixed on your partner, you may just be falling in love.
Studies have also found that couples who lock eyes report feeling a stronger romantic connection than those who dont. It goes the other way too: when a study had strangers lock eyes for minutes at a time, they reported romantic feeling towards each other.
You feel like youre high.
Its completely normal to feel out of your mind when falling for someone.
A study from the Kinsey Institute found that the brain of a person falling in love looks the same as the brain of a person who has taken cocaine. You can thank dopamine, which is released in both instances, for that feeling.
This is a good explanation for why people in new relationships can act absolutely nonsensically.
You always think about them.
If you love someone, you may feel like you cant get them off of your mind. Thats because your brain releases phenylethylamine, aka the “love drug” when you fall in love with someone. This hormone creates the feeling of infatuation with your partner.
You may be familiar with the feeling because phenylethylamine is also found in chocolate, which may explain why you cant stop after just one square.
You want them to be happy.
Love is an equal partnership, but youll find someones happiness becomes really important to you when youre falling for them.
So-called “compassionate love” can be one of the biggest signs of a healthy relationship, according to research. This means that youre willing to go out of your way to make your partners life easier and happier.
If you find yourself going out of your way to keep your partner dry when walking in the rain or making them breakfast on a busy weekday morning, its a sign youve got it bad.
Youve been stressed lately.
Although love is often associated with warm and fuzzy feelings, it can also be a huge source of stress. Being in love often causes your brain to release the stress hormone cortisol, which can lead you to feel the heat.
So if youve noticed your patience is being tested a little more than normal or youre kind of freaking out, you may not need to carry a stress ball just yet; you may just be in love.
You dont feel pain as strongly.
Falling for someone might be painful, but if youve noticed that literally falling doesnt bother you as much anymore, it could be a big sign youre in love.
A study conducted by the Stanford University School of Medicine had participants stare at a photo of someone they loved and found that act could reduce moderate pain by up to 40%, and reduced severe pain by up to 15%.
So if youre getting a tattoo, you may want to keep a photo of your partner handy. Just in case.
Youre trying new things.
Everyone wants to impress their date in the beginning of their relationships, but if you find yourself consistently trying new things that your partner enjoys, you may have been bitten by the love bug.
In fact, a study found that people who have claimed to be in love often had varied interest and personality traits after those relationships. So even if you hate that square-dancing class youre going to with your partner, it could have a positive effect on your personality.
Your heart rate synchronizes with theirs.
Your heart may skip a beat when you think about the one you love, but a study showed that you may also be beating in time with each other. A study conducted by the University of California, Davis, suggests that couples hearts begin to beat at the same rate when they fall in love.
Although you may not be able to tell if this has happened without a few stethoscopes, feeling a deep connection to your partner is a good a sign as any that
