Crush, In Like, And In Love . .

Definition of love: a deep and passionate attraction between two people who were drawn to each other from the start.

Feelings you get when you have a crush: You see them and your heart stops. You find yourself smiling like an idiot. You may have thoughts that you could already be fully in love. You think about them all the time, and spend all of your time waiting for their call/text/etc. You feel like they are a necessity, and you can’t concentrate on anything else.

Feelings you get when you are in like: You get nervous when you’re going out to see them. You dress to impress, but you still criticize yourself to no end, thinking that nothing would be good enough. You start to worry that something’s wrong when they don’t call when they say they will. You have the feeling that you want to be with them all the time, but you feel like it might be too much at the same time. You feel self-conscious about going “over the top.” You start to notice their flaws, and paying more attention to yours.

Feelings you get when you are in love: You feel comfortable around that person, as if you could be spending time with a best friend and you’d still act the same. Yet, you will still sometimes get nervous when they do things for you or when you go out for a date. You know that they accept you for all that you are, and you accept them as well. You know all of their flaws, and not only do you accept them, but you love them as well. You don’t have doubts, but sometimes you do have fears about the future, which is normal. You don’t expect things, but you hope for the best. You share a lot with this person, the most being your time. And you basically just feel like you are home when you are with them.
