Signs You Love Someone

When you love someone, you have this feeling that makes you care for them more than anyone else, and you have difficulty not thinking about them all day. You want to talk to them and spend time with them as much as you can, and you want to feel the same thing reciprocated by them.

If you’ve been with someone for a while and haven’t told each other you love one another yet, it’s normal to wonder if you love them. This is why you may ask yourself what some of the signs you love are, and we have them listed below.

1. You feel jealous.

When you get jealous of his friends, even if they are in relationships, it could be because you love him. You don’t want to share him with other girls, and it annoys you to know how much even his best girlfriends adore him.

Although these are great signs indicating that he’s a really good guy who is easy to love and has to have a great personality to be surrounded by so many people that care about him, it makes you feel jealous because you love him, and you want to be the only person showing him that and making him feel that way.

2. You smile when you get a text from him.

Anyone can text you and not cause a reaction; it’s just another text for you. However, when the guy you like texts you, he’ll make you smile and feel giddy for no reason. Reacting to a text message from that special person is how you know you love them.

3. You always want to spend time with him.

If you love him, you’ll feel like there aren’t enough hours to spend with him. Even if you see him all day, you’ll miss him when you’re not together anymore. Any free time you have will be designated to seeing him because you enjoy your time with him and always have fun with him.

4. You forgive him quickly.

In a relationship, it’s normal to have arguments, disagreements, and fights, even if they’re about silly things. You’ll notice in other relationships when the couple argues or fights about something, even if it’s something small, they might make it into a big thing, cause a scene, and hold a grudge over what happened.

That’s because there isn’t true love between those two people, and they’re incapable of working through their problems. If you notice that when you and your partner have fights, it’s easy to forgive him, and all you want to do is find a solution to the problem and make up quickly because you really love him.

Fighting isn’t worth it because you only want to show him how much you love him, not how angry you can be about something.

5. You feel safe with him.

Lots of people can make you feel safe in different instances, like when they tell you to remember to put your seatbelt on before you start driving when they ask you to look both ways when you’re crossing the street, or when they do other little things to protect you and help you keep yourself safe.

These things feel nice because it makes you feel cared for. He does these things for you too, and he holds your hand when you’re walking somewhere and asks you to walk on the side further away from the road, amongst other things.

But what sets him apart from the other people, and the reason this is a sign you love him, is that he doesn’t have to do any of these things to make you feel safe. His presence is what really makes you feel safe, even if he’s not doing anything in particular to inspire the feeling of safety.

6. You feel like you can be vulnerable with him.

When someone makes you feel like you can open up with them, be your true self, tell them your darkest secrets, share with them what no one else is supposed to know, and things that other people could judge you for, you know you love him.

You are 100% certain that you can really trust him and be yourself with him and that he’s not going to be scared off by anything you do or say. This is because you love him and trust him, and he loves you too.

7. He’s the first thing you think about when you wake up.

When you don’t spend the night together, you open your eyes, and he’s the first thing on your mind. You can’t wait to text him ‘Good morning,’ although he probably already beat you to it.

And not only do you get excited to be able to start a conversation with him again or pick up where you left off when you were texting the night before, but when the day is over, you also like to tell him ‘Good night’, and he’ll be the last thing you think about before going to sleep as well.

8. You have the urge to take care of him.

You always want to take care of him, and it’s difficult not to smother him in love, because of how much you love him. It’s not a hassle to get him the comfy pillow, or bring him a blanket if he falls asleep on the couch. You are careful about things he’s allergic to, and you know what will fix his allergies or make him feel better when he’s sick.

You also know his favorite meals and things he doesn’t like, and you avoid cooking those when you have meals together, so he enjoys his food. These are all small things you might find yourself doing if you love him.

9. If you fight, you always want to make up.

Not only do you forgive him quickly, as previously mentioned, but whenever you fight, you want to make up immediately. There is no point in being angry with him when you love him so much and know that nothing was really done with ill intent and that no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes.

10. You think about them a lot.

He is always on your mind, 24/7. Everything reminds you of him, even things that he briefly mentioned. Only someone you truly love could be on your mind that much, so this must be a sign that you love him.

11. Life is more enjoyable when you’re with them.

You know how to be alone but don’t want to be because you know that everything is more fun with him. Even simple everyday tasks like walking your dog or grocery shopping are more enjoyable and feel less like a chore when you do it with him.

This is because you love him and love spending time with him and getting to chat while you do these things, or even just enjoy his company.

12. You think they’re very special.

If you think that there’s no one else like him and that he is truly one of a kind and the most special person you have ever been with, it’s because you really love him. He’s your favorite person in the whole world, and nothing can change your mind about that.

13. You change plans because of him.

Perhaps he asks you for something from the grocery store, but the grocery store isn’t really on the way to his place. That doesn’t matter because you love him, and it’s not a hassle to go out of your way to pick up what he’s asking for. It’s the small things that you do for him that really show how much you love him.

How to Know You’re in Love

If noticing the signs mentioned above isn’t enough to know if you love someone or need more to confirm it, go through these three steps.

Think about how this person makes you feel.

Take a moment, or more than a moment of that’s what you need, and think about how this person makes you feel. Take as long as you need to really get in touch with your feelings and remember all of the times you’ve talked to this person or spent time with them, and analyze how that made you feel. This will help you begin to determine if you love them.

Make a list of good and bad behaviors.

Write down all of the sweet things they’ve done for you to win your love. Take into account even the smallest things. Also, write down the mistakes they may have done wrong, which could jeopardize feeling like you love them. Next, compare and contrast both lists and see if the positive outweighs the negative, and you’ll know if you love them.

Analyze what subtle indications you may have missed.

There are little things that you may have started doing that you haven’t noticed you are doing, but they actually indicate that you love this person. For example, forgiving them quickly or going out of your way for them for little things.
