Guys Are Sharing How They Know When They Are In Love, And So Many Of These Are Melting My Heart Like Butter
Being in love is one of the greatest human experiences. As the saying goes, "When you know, you know," and although that can be true, it can also be slightly confusing. So when I read through this Reddit thread of men sharing how they know when they're in love, I figured it was only right to share it with the rest of the world because their responses are honestly so wholesome and sweet.
Here is what they shared:
1."You can’t stop thinking about her. You don’t want any other woman, you want to be the best version of yourself, making you feel like you’re in heaven. You’re proud to be with her. You want to share experiences with her. You dream about her. You imagine and plan your future together."
2."When you feel genuinely lucky to just know them, and you want above all else to make sure they’re happy."
3."I'm not an expert, but so far, my guideline has been if I have been yearning to be part of their life, with all the good bits and the bad bits and the boring mundane bits. To not idolize them as perfect but to accept those messy human bits are part of the whole package that makes them such brilliant diamonds. If you can imagine having arguments with them about which parents to see at Thanksgiving and which to see at Christmas, if you can imagine both the vacation abroad and sitting on the couch with a brown bag of fast food because the week has been murder, if you can imagine all the hospital trips and the flat tires and the urge just to hug them tight and never let them go when they're sad or anxious, if you want to be a part of their little wins and big losses and just be there with them, well, you're probably in love."
4."I can lower my guard with them."
5."Moving past the infatuation stage and realizing you can tell this person anything and everything and get support."
6."When their absence HURTS."
7."When you do things for them to make them feel loved."
8."When you find yourself thinking about the person way above the sexual aspect, and all these thoughts make you happy."
9."You start being the best version of yourself when she’s not physically there."
10."When the inside of my chest feels empty unless she’s within my arms’ reach. When I close my eyes, her face is burned inside my eyelids. When I wake in the morning the first thought I have is how excited I am to share this day with her."
11."I knew when I was thinking about her just before sleeping, and when I woke up, she was my first thought."
12."You think of them when you're happy. You think of them when you're sad. They're the first person you want to tell when you have good news. When you've had a rough day, they're the only person you want to come home to."
13."You just know. I dated a lot of women. I never fell in love with them until I dated my wife. In the first month, I knew it was different. I don't know how else to explain it. I used to get bored with most of the women I dated. After a week or so, I preferred to spend time training or hanging with the boys rather than spending time with my girlfriends. Then, that all changed when I met my wife."
14."When it feels like my face is melting whenever I see her, and when I’m alone with her I feel as relaxed and comfortable as if I was alone with myself."
15."You get a weird sense of comfort around them."
16."Wanting to be near me and spend time with them. When mundane tasks feel fun because they are there with you."
