5 Signs that it’s Time to Say
You've been dating for a while and you're starting to move past "liking" them. So, how do you know when is the best time to say “I love you”?
The words “I love you” should only be used with the purest intentions. Men and women figure out they are in love by different standards. Men usually figure these things out in situations where they are about to lose the person or feel like they can’t live without the person. It’s sometimes a bit drastic. Women figure out they’re in love when a series of little things build up. The sexes may differ in the way they figure out that they are in love, but one thing is for sure, once they know, they know.
Check out these five signs that tell you when it’s time to say I love you.
If you find yourself going completely out of your way to do just the smallest thing for your other half.
Anytime you make a run to the other side of town just to get your partner their favorite donuts when there is a perfectly good donut place down the street. It doesn’t have to be this particular situation but you get what I mean. If you have completely bypassed your comfort zone to make sure they are accommodated then you may just be in love.
When you start referring to your partner as your other half.
Anytime you refer to your partner as your other half it has a sort of significance to it that no other term does when dating. You could say “this is my friend” or “this is my girlfriend or boyfriend.” Saying “this is my other half” implies that this person completes you. And that is huge!
If you want to spend every moment with your partner, even if it means doing nothing at all.
This is more than a “Netflix and chill” kind of thing. Finding yourself just wanting to be in your partner’s company is a telltale sign that you are in love. Think about it. You can do “nothing” alone, in the comfort of your own space but if you want that person near no matter what, you’re in love.
When you can’t possibly see your life without them.
It seems drastic but if you don’t want to be without them even for a second in your life, then you have just entered the love zone. Period.
When your partner makes you feel the best you’ve ever felt.
If you have been in other relationships, you know how it feels to have been treated good, bad, and possibly great. If your partner beats everyone by a mile in the way that they make you feel. And you just feel the love radiating off of your body toward them… you’re in love!
Love is a beautiful thing. When you finally realize that you’re actually in love, it can feel like the most amazing thing in the world. If you are experiencing any of these feelings listed above, it may be time to let your partner that you’ve got it bad for them!
