Are You in Love ?
You think you’re falling in love. You’re really attracted to a
certain person. But this happened before, and it was just a
“crush”. How can you tell if it’s real this time? Here’s what our
readers said:
If you’re in love, …
♦ you’ll find yourself talking to or telephoning the person for
no reason. (You might pretend there’s a reason, but often
there’s not.)
♦ you’ll find yourself bringing this person into every
conversation. (“When I was in Mexico” - a friend begins.
You interrupt with, “My boyfriend made a great Mexican
dinner last week.”)
♦ you might suddenly be interested in things you used to
avoid. (“When a woman asks me to tell her all about
football, I know she’s fallen in love,” said a TV sports
announcer.)
OK, so you’ve fallen in love. But falling in love is one thing,
and staying in love is another. How can you tell, as time passes,
that you’re still in love? If you stay in love, your relationship
will change. You might not talk as much about the person you
are in love with. You might not always call him or her so often.
But this person will nevertheless become more and more
important in you life.
You’ll find that you can be yourself with this person. When
you first fell in love, you were probably afraid to admit certain
things about yourself. But now you can be totally honest. You
can trust him or her to accept you just as you are. Falling in
love is great – staying in love is even better!
