How To...

know if you are falling in love.

Imagine this: You've been seeing somebody for a while now, you spend most of your day thinking of them and you always want to be by their side.

Can you even recognise yourself any more?

The butterflies, the smiles, the instant dose of insane happiness you get whenever you see them.

What is this?

You know, but you're just too afraid to say it - to even think it.

But how do you know?

There are so many questions: What if you are confusing this for something else? What if you're wrong about how you feel? What if you're rushing into something you're not even sure of? Can you even be wrong about this sort of thing?

...Maybe not.

Maybe you're in love.

If you feel like the world has become more beautiful and brighter, that you like everything about the other person and even their faults, that you're even starting to feel the same emotions, so that when they're upset, you are too. That when they're happy, so are you. When somebody hurts them... you want to wing-tsun that other person's butt to Shanghai.

Anyway... You'll just know.

What do you gain by holding back anyway? Try not to be afraid, it's just a risk you'll have to take. Love is a risk that makes life worthwhile.

So, if it feels right to you, go for it! Say it, act it out, write it down, express it however you'd like to.

...

And hope they say it back.

Love,

[Here's not what not to do if you're unsure whether you're in love or not though - take a quiz (not speaking from previous experience... but dang. 5 minutes of my life)]

My research - Please don't laugh.
