Ah, love is a mysterious thing, romantically speaking. It is also a frustrating, angering, exciting, confusing, mind-blowing, and sometimes scary thing. There is puppy love, infatuation, lust, and real love. Sometimes it all feels the same and leads you to ask yourself, do I love her?
There is no clear test to determine love. It isn’t easy to figure out if she is the one for you or the one for this week with so many gray areas. Love isn’t just about wanting to rip a girl’s clothes off, although that can definitely be a part of it. It is about this indescribable feeling.
Sure, love can be seen, heard, and experienced, but even people who have a vast knowledge of love have a hard time really explaining it.
# You want to share good news with herBeing in love means that she is who you go to when you want to celebrate. You want to share good moments with her. You want her to be proud of you. If you burst at the seams to tell your girl all the good things that come your way before anyone else, that is a good sign you love her.
# You want to share bad news with herEven more critical, she becomes your emergency call. When she is the person you reach out to when something bad happens, you want her there. You know her presence will improve any situation.
That is a sign of trust and support, which are huge parts of love. The first person you think of when the shit hits the fan is the person you trust and love.
# You’re protective of herYou get angry or upset when someone treats her with disrespect. Whether it is her boss or a random dude at a restaurant, your first instinct is to make him pay. But, hopefully, you brush that aside and instead worry about how it is affecting her.
If you love her, instead of acting out in rage or jealousy, you are protective of her. You want her to feel comfortable and safe regardless of the anger you may have for the person that caused her pain.
# You see her in your futureYou may not be actively making plans with her, but you reconsider her even subconsciously when thinking about the future. If your boss offers you a promotion, you think about how it might help you two afford a nice place together.
You aren’t just thinking of yourself but incorporate her into things you never really thought about before. Even if you’ve always wanted a sick bachelor pad, you’re more than happy to give that up to be happy with her. Changing something you thought was set in stone for her is a sign you love her.
# You think about what your kids would be likeIf you see qualities in her and think, “Man, I think our kids are going to be awesome if they inherit that.” Cupid’s arrow has likely hit you. We find things in the people we love that we want to carry on and be a part of for eternity.
Even if you never thought about having kids, these thoughts may just jump into your head because of human nature.
# You think about having kidsIf you want kids *There’s nothing wrong with not wanting them, though* and you even think about possibly having kids with her, it might be a sign that she’s stolen your heart.
