Your heart is pounding just thinking about him, and when he’s with you, you want to be as close to him as possible all the time—you’re in love! But this feeling can also be expressed in a completely different way. We’ll explain how you can tell that you’re in love.
Most people find being in love to be the most wonderful feeling there is. You see everything through rose-tinted glasses; you’re always grinning, and you could hug the whole world. Some people show their happiness on the outside and let those around them know without a doubt that they are in love. Others, however, are unsure whether their affection for this particular person is just a crush or whether it is more serious. Especially when you are still quite young and don’t have much experience with love. So how do you know that you are in love? We’ll tell you!
21 points: This is how you know you are in love
When are you actually in love? Being in love is stronger than any crush or the simple, sometimes fleeting infatuation. It can last a long time, become more intense over time, and eventually grow into love. But how do you know that you are in love? We have listed a few points for you that could indicate this. If you have strong feelings for this one person, then not just a few individual points apply, but more than half. Test yourself as you read and think about which signs and “symptoms” apply to you—this will give you an answer to the question of whether you are in love!
