Unless you’re afraid you might be in love with the wrong person.

Unless you don’t know how he feels about you.

Unless he’s in a relationship or terrified of commitment and loving him would be a waste of time.

Unless you’re sure you’re NOT in love with him…

Unless you do NOT want to be in love right now and love is NOT in the cards for you at this moment and you have NO intention of being in love because you’re just NOT …

When you take the time to think about it, are you SURE?

Even if you’ve never said the “l-word” to him, even if you’re not even together, even if you’ve SWORNyou would never fall in love with him… there’s a chance you might have gone and fallen in love anyway.

Sign #10: You lose track of time and no amount of time spent with him is ever enough

As you go through your day, you feel more alive and energetic, as if you have a constant adrenaline rush going through you.

Sign #14: You have fun talking with him no matter what you’re talking about

It doesn’t matter what the topic is, you’re just delighted to be having a conversation with him about anything.

Even the most random, uneventful stuff (like the weather or the news) becomes exciting, engaging and fun. You can even talk about stuff you don’t care about at ALL (like his fantasy football league that you’re not even in) and it still feels like you’re having the most interesting conversation in the world.

(Seriously, dudes, unless we’re in love with you, or IN it, we don’t care about your fantasy football league.)

Sign #15: You totally stop thinking about your ex

So you might have had an obsession with your ex-boyfriend who broke your heart and cheated on you with his ex-girlfriend (or whatever he did).

You might have missed him or completely hated his guts with a burning passion that could light a thousand suns. You might have gone weeks where every morning you wake up and your first thought is wondering whether you could fit him inside a blender.

And now? You actually pretty much don’t care anymore. You don’t fixate on your anger for the guy who screwed you over. You almost feel a sense of indifference.

It’s a crazy experience. You never thought you’d see the day where he’s truly gone from your thoughts, but now he is… because someone else has taken over your thoughts.

Sign #16: You do boring stuff with him just to have the chance to spend more time with him

Does he have to go to the super market because he’s out of eggs? Sounds like fun! He needs to stop at CVS to pick up razors? Sign me up!

No matter how boring it is or how much you’d normally hate it (errands, ugh), you’d never turn down the chance to do it with him.

Sign #17: You can talk to him about ANYTHING

And I do mean anything. You’re totally comfortable around him.

You can pee with the door open without feeling weird. You tell him about a gross zit you popped the other day, he laughs and pretends to be grossed out.

And when you have something serious to talk about with him, you know he would give you his full undivided attention about anything… just like you would for him.
 

Sign #18: You can’t concentrate at work and suddenly have ADD

So you’re at work and supposed to be doing some kind of spreadsheet or paperwork or training the new killer whale at the park to jump through a hoop, and what are you doing instead? You’re daydreaming about him.

Or if you’re around family and friends, your mind is elsewhere. You’re just not present in the moment with them, because you’re thinking of him.

You can’t even help it, it’s like you’re in this beautiful daydream where it’s just you and him in the world. You feel like you’re in a small world built for two, a world only you and him could ever possibly understand.

You might even be dodging your responsibilities in lieu of an all-day text or email chain with him. And when you’re not writing, you’re sitting there obsessively checking your phone or refreshing your email waiting for the second he writes back.

Sign #19: You can’t explain why you’re always happy

All of a sudden you feel giddy and lighthearted for no apparent reason at all. Things that might have annoyed you or brought your mood down before don’t seem to bother you at all now.

It’s like you’re a different person. It’s as if there’s a ray of sunshine splashing across your face. And the best part is the smile on your face comes from a place within. It’s a specific kind of happiness you’ve never experienced before. And it’s beautiful. You can’t even help it.

Sign #20: You’re less attracted to other guys

Ryan Gossling? George Clooney? Brad Pitt?

Eh, whatever.

He is enough. You can see your favorite actor and not even have the same heart-stopping reaction you would have before.

And if you even think of being with another guy, it doesn’t really appeal to you the same way it used to. You don’t feel any kind of intense attraction to them anymore.

All you want is him.

Sign # 21: You mentally make note of the things he likes

Quick: What’s his favorite song? Or his favorite movie? Or his favorite color?

Did you just rattle off the answer?

If he mentions specific, random things he likes you can’t help but take notice. Subconsciously or not, you want to know how to make him happy.

Sign #22: You save and remember all the firsts you have with him

You remember the first time you met him. The first time you kissed. Or you might even have the ticket stub from your first date.

Whatever it is, little moments with him become special, cherished memories. And you remember every detail.

Sign #23: He scares the hell out of you

Deep down, you know in your heart that if he wanted to hurt you, he’d be able to completely destroy you. You might not want to admit it, but he could break your heart so badly it’d bring you to your knees in pain and send tears streaming down your red blotchy face.

If he tries to show you his emotional side, you might try to act like it’s too much too soon but secretly, deep down, you love every second of it.

If you’re really honest with yourself, you’re terrified of where this could possibly lead with him, and yet you can’t help but want to take things further.

And you know that if tomorrow you woke up and weren’t afraid of what the future with him could
