You’ve been dating someone for a long time. You’ve gotten to know their quirks, seen them on their happiest, and been there for them while they’re on the slump. They are the first one that comes to your mind when you wake up and the last thoughts before you go to sleep. You ask yourself: “Is this it? Is this love I’m feeling?”

Sometimes, it’s difficult to know whether you’re in love or just infatuated to a degree. It’s so easy to throw the word “love” around that many people often commit mistakes. Maybe you love what a person does or some parts about them, but not their entirety. In the words of some experts, here are ways on how you can tell if you’re in love.
One way of telling you’re actually in love is when you want to share your relationship with others. This means you can’t wait to introduce them to your closest friends. This goes beyond your personality by bringing them to a place of trust. Introducing them to your closest friends whom you’ve known for years is a big deal. And it’s not enough to just introduce them. You want your friends to like them as well.

You also become more self-reflective when you’re in love. You change the way you see yourself and grow as a person. And it’s this change for the better that is triggered by someone new, someone you love.
