Number 10
You've forgotten your ex
More often than not, a breakup is followed by a significant amount of time spent thinking about him and wondering whether or not you guys made the right decision in going your seperate ways. Depending on how long the two of you were together, these doubts can resurface again and again.
Ever since you met him , however, the thought of getting back together with your ex is the furthest thing from your mind. Come to think of it, you barely recall what you found so great about your ex in the first place.
Number 9
You can't stop thinking about him
Instead, you are consumed by thoughts of him . He just pops into your head for no apparent reason, and you wonder if he thinks of you half as much as you think of him. You wonder what he's up to and even consider calling him (but refrain from doing so for fear of looking overeager).
But it gets worse. You're out with your friends and you see something in a shop window and think about how much he would like that particular item, or you notice a poster for a show that he would love, but normally wouldn't even have looked twice at it.
If he's the last thing on your mind before you go to sleep and the first thing on your mind when you wake up -- and you've even dreamed of him on a couple of occasions -- then you don't really even need to read on to know if you're in love (but should anyway, just to be sure).
Number 8
You care about him
There is a reason why you don't really want to know too much about the hottie you had a one-night stand with: you don't love him. When you're in love with a man, you want to know all about him: who he is, what he thinks, what makes him laugh. You truly care about him and his feelings.
If you truly love a man, you feel bad if he had a bad day or is upset about something. You don't try to cheer him up because you have to , but because you can't help it.
Number 7
You find him quirks charming
The fact that he carries his passport with him everywhere he goes -- just in case -- and that, when he's eating, he can't help but construct every forkful, so that it is the perfect blend of ingredients, fills you with an inexplicable feeling of happiness.
He does and says things that make him different, and you like it. You can't quite put your finger on why, but it doesn't even matter. You like him just the way he is.
Number 6
You have great chemistry
You can't be in love with someone that you have no chemistry with. If you and him seem to always be on the same wavelength, and think in similar ways, that's a great sign. If you also generate enough heat to set off a five-alarm fire bell, then he is probably someone that you could fall in love with, if you aren't there already.
Number 5
You don't notice other men as much
Although you can't help noticing a Handsome man when one walks by, when you're in love, some of them tend to slip under the radar, while others just pale in comparison to him. Furthermore, you don't seem to be flirting half as much as you used to.
You are slowly realizing that he's often the only man in the room that matters, and, for some reason, that suits you just fine.
Number 4
You love spending time with him
This one is pretty obvious but important nonetheless. You look forward to seeing him, and don't care much about what the two of you will be doing. Lately, just going for a walk with him sounds like the best way you could possibly spend an evening.
Furthermore, when you're not together, you miss him and wish you were.
Number 3
You don't mind compromising sometimes
There was a time when it was your way or the highway, but, with him it's different. Not that he asks you to, but you don't mind missing a night out with the guys to be with him. And you find yourself trying to incorporate him into your plans or altering them to accomodate him.
You also find yourself not putting up a fight when he wants to go to Shakespeare in the Park. Although your friends find this very amusing, you know that deep down, they wish that they had found a love like yours.
Number 2
Other priorities take a backseat
You used to train religiously, but lately, if he's free for dinner, you don't mind missing a workout. Not only that, but your workaholic tendency of bringing home your work on weekends to get ahead seems a bit excessive to you as of late.
Your ever-important "to-do" list seems quite stagnant these days, as being with him always manages to render your other plans and obligations obsolete. What was it that you absolutely had to do by four o'clock again?
Number 1
You start thinking about the future and he's in it
It used to be that the future with a man meant your date on Saturday night, but, with this man, the future seems infinite. Not only do you plan to see him this weekend, but you want to see him a year from now as well.
When planning your next vacation, you know you want to spend it with him, and not a random beach bunny you happen to meet while you're there. And when you get an invitation to a wedding in three months from now, you ask him to be your date, without thinking that it's too far away to tell if you'll still be together.
