8 Signs To Tell If It's Love Or Not

Have you ever felt this way? You can’t focus on anything, and you can’t get anything accomplished! You’re constantly thinking about the object of your affection, checking your phone for their reply, and it’s like you’re going through withdrawals. You need more of this person. And that is just one sign of the infatuation symptoms!

Is this love? Probably not, at least not yet, but it’s definitely infatuation. If you’re completely obsessed, then you know what this feels like.

You may think you’ve fallen in love, and hopefully you have, but don’t jump to conclusions right away.

If this is infatuation, of course, you need to enjoy every moment. Also keep yourself reminded of your emotions. Infatuation leads to love and a relationship, but it can also lead to heartbreak.

# You can’t focus on anything else

It’s taking you twice as long to finish a simple task, you’re not listening when people talk to you and you find yourself making stupid mistakes.

It’s horrible, you feel like you’ve lost control of your body and mind.

# Everything reminds you of them

That cupcake in the window shop? It reminds you of the shots you two pounded back at the bar. Or the song on the radio, totally reminds you of the way they smile.

Everything has some connection to them even when in reality, there’s no connection. You just want to have them on your mind all day and night. This is definitely one of the infatuation symptoms.

# They’re all you want to talk about

Your friends and family have been patient. However, if they have to listen to another story about this person, they’re going to explode.

If they’re all you can talk about, it’s safe to say you’re infatuated. Love isn’t obsession, lust is.

# You’re defensive if someone knew them before you

If you know someone that knew your new flame before you did, you’re highly defensive. Maybe this person tells you that your flame is known to be a cheater or liar, but you have their back 100%.

Infatuation is blinding, so, whatever anyone tells you, don’t just disregard it as false information. Keep it in the back of your head.

# Your friends and family don’t see it

Another one of the infatuation symptoms is that no one can understand why you’re with this person.

You’ve probably been in this situation before. In fact, you might have been completely infatuated with someone previously as well. Now, you might get why your friends and family were confused, because you were not a match. But at the time, that person you liked was your life.

Remember, your friends and family know you very well, and they can see a true connection a mile away.

# You change what you want to match them

You used to want to have kids and a beach house, but, they don’t want children and prefer apartment living.

Well, suddenly, you don’t mind not having kids and you could do apartment living, why not? Nooo! This is not what it’s about, people. If you’re willing to scrap all your dreams for this person, it’s not love.

# You just met

You’re trying not to tell them you love them even though you just met them ten minutes ago.

Listen, you don’t love them, at least not now. In reality, you just want to have sex with them. So, have sex with them, spend time together, and wait a bit to see how you feel then.

# You’re willing to change core values

All of a sudden, your core beliefs are going out the window for this person. Maybe you’re a vegetarian and they’re not.

Well, now, you’re buying a giant steak for dinner. If this was love, you wouldn’t feel like you should change.
