The starting few months in any new romance are joyful, elating and a little overwhelming. You wonder what is happening, if this person is the perfect mate, and if your bond will be eternal. While I am unable to share with you what the future has in mind for your intimate life, I can help you to decode the signs that someone is stealing your heart.
At first, falling in love is sort of like a mind-altering substance. You experience a sense of absolute content or experience boundless joy. This occurrence has been compared to the rush you get after consuming large amounts of sweets or after a great exercise routine. You can't stop thinking about the person almost constantly and you really care to find out everything you can about them. You wish they were around you always, and the more hours you share with that special person, the more interested you are.
A facet of the first stage of falling for someone is an increased awareness about how the other person sees you. You concern yourself with them liking most of your looks, and whether they consider you desirable. What's more, you worry about how they view your personality. You wish to be seen as good looking, good company, and suitable to that person in every way. As payback, you consider them more pleasing than other possible partners. Minor traits about the other person, things you might never usually notice, suddenly seem enormously intriguing.
As the courtship turns into the future, the euphoria lets up. Instead, the relationship starts to settle into a comfortable pattern, and from time to time disagreements happen. Despite how undesirable that sounds, now is where your true colors show. Minor regular things and situations will make you remember the other person, linked to your very own joyful memories. You will feel the need to safeguard your partner from being wounded, both in body and in psyche. Feeling true love means that you feel ready to take their pain upon yourself. You will include their wishes and desires when you deliberate choices. For instance, you may adjust your favorite special recipe to appeal to his taste because you just know he'll love it, or suggest to accompany her to a movie you will not like, just to make her smile.
Finally, the best indicator that you are inevitably, can't-help-yourself, passionately in love is when you accept all the person's flaws. You probably won't like every facet of their personality, but you accept their flaws as a piece of what composes the entire desirable person you don't wish to live without. Even when you get in a tiff with your partner, you still would not trade this loved one in for a different person. You want to spend more time with them than any other person, and you feel like the best possible version of yourself when you meet. Holy Cow! There's love in the air!
