The 5 Signs Of True Love
How do you know if it’s true love? Love is a unique feeling that makes you feel happy, beautiful, special, and strong-willed.
In addition to how it makes you feel, love is universal. No matter which part of the world you are from, you will fall in love. It is not something that is unattainable and if you're unsure about how you feel about someone, take a look at some of these crucial signs.
Give More, Take Less
A loving relationship versus an infatuation is based expecting and doing the best for your partner. That means often giving something without calculating what you’ll receive in return, and doing so pretty much on a subconscious level.
Ladies, do you find yourself taking note of his favourite sports teams or favourite foods? Do you wish that you could help him with his work so that he looked a little less tired when you see him?
Gents, you can’t help but notice that sweater is her favourite colour. You can’t even believe you remembered her favourite color! And her birthday. The fact that she eats ice cream out of the carton in neat layers and her favourite flavour is triple chocolate chunk. Not only do you want to give her the world on a platter.
It’s Not Just Sex
Animal magnetism is great, but it isn’t enough anymore. Ladies, you may imagine him as your own Shah Rukh Khan. You like talking to each other and you feel as if you both connect on some sort of mental level that no one else understands.
Guys, she wants to go shopping but you want to keep her company anyways. You like holding her hand in public, and for the first time you’ve got serious tunnel vision. Need to do laundry or go to the bank? You’d rather do it together.
You Like His/Her Quirks
Herman Hesse, author of the 1951 novel Siddhartha, had it right when he said: “when you like someone, you like them in spite of their faults. When you love someone, you love them with their faults.” He leaves the cereal out and hums annoying songs to himself.
When did you realize that your home isn’t the same without his irritating tunes or a sure sign of his presence like a trail of Corn Flakes? She has an opinion about everything and waves her hands in a funny way when she’s angry, but when did you start finding her nitpicking so endearing? Do you think she’ll figure out that you leave the cereal out on purpose just to watch her get mad? She gets cute when she’s angry with you…
A Fight Is Just a Fight
Fights in many relationships are usually a signifier as to how a couple handles conflict and familial diplomacy, as well as how they can handle honesty. However, knowing the difference between a breakup fight and a lovers’ spat is key to a good relationship.
For a couple to flourish, a clash of opinions every once in a while is a good thing. It means that each partner has maintained his and her personalities and opinions instead of, indicating a balanced partnership.
You Just Know
If a new study published in the journal 'Science' has something to say about it, your gut reaction to the one you love is something of an indescribable feeling. How often have you heard a happy couple say, “the moment I saw him/her, I just knew…” ? Science can treat love like a chemical cocktail, but it can’t explain everything perfectly. The reality is, sometimes you just know.
