Does chemistry really exist? Is this just a Hollywood concoction? Are they potential soul mates? Are there signs of emotional attraction or is it nothing more than physical chemistry?
Chemistry between two people can be defined as a combination of physical attraction, desire, emotional connection, passion and longing that you cannot control.
You feel excited and calm at the same time. You just know that this person is the one you want, and you may never be able to put that feeling into words.
Let's see what are the undeniable signs of chemistry between two people.
1. Surrender and falling in love
You feel as if an invisible force is pulling you towards each other. You may have only exchanged a few words, but the whole time you feel like you've known each other for a long time. Sometimes you wonder if you've ever met this person before because it seems impossible to be so connected to someone you're just getting to know.
2. Eyes never lie
You just can't take your eyes off each other no matter how hard you try. They watch each other from top to bottom and sometimes even share prolonged eye contact. A feeling of shyness sets in, and when you realize you've been caught staring at them, you look away and pretend nothing happened.

When you meet him, you can't help but smile. You could be having a very bad day, but the moment I walked into the room it would be like the sun had come out and chased away all the clouds. It is impossible to feel bad whenever he is around you. He doesn't have to do anything to make you feel better - his presence is more than enough. He doesn't have to say a single word - just their energy lifts you up in seconds.
4. Speak the same language
They speak the same language of love. It's like you found a part of yourself in someone else. The best friend. This is someone you can trust, someone you share interests with, someone you can develop mutual trust with. Sometimes you feel like he understands you even better than you do. You can't be surprised that he knows the core of your personality so well. You have similar tastes and share the same favorite things including music, movies, books. You finish each other's thoughts and all communication is effortless, which shows that you share an incredibly strong intellectual chemistry.
5. There are pleasant sounds of silence
Remember the moments when you are on a first date and there is a moment of awkward silence. That's when you get the urge to escape from this unpleasant situation. But the biggest sign that you have found your soulmate is the fact that you can spend time with them in silence.
6. Butterflies in the stomach
Every time you meet this person, you feel like you're getting ready for a first date. No matter how long you've been seeing each other, these butterflies have the same intensity as they did in the beginning. When you meet, your hearts start beating like crazy that you can almost hear him. It has nothing to do with your age. It doesn't matter how old you are - when this kind of chemistry hits you, you'll feel like a teenager in love.

Do you remember how this person captured your attention from the first moment your paths crossed? This never changes, because this feeling is not a short-term attraction - it is much more than that. You could be together for years, but she will always be the center of your attention. This is probably the only person in the world who will never bore you.
8. Non-verbal cues
Sometimes non-verbal signals speak louder than words. Let's remember that you can choose what you say, but most of the time you can't control your body movements.
This is exactly what happens when there is chemistry between two people. No need to declare your love – your actions will speak for you.
The bottom line is that body language can't hide real chemistry, it only enhances it.
And let's not forget all those random touches you share all the time. Most of the time you do this unconsciously - as if your bodies have this uncontrollable desire to be as close to each other as possible.
9. Anticipation of the next meeting
It doesn't matter if you just broke up, you're already planning your next date. It's quite obvious that you can't wait to meet again. You count the days, hours and minutes until you can share the same air because it doesn't matter what you do or where you go - being with him makes you happy. Whenever you are with this person, you lose track of time.
Have you noticed that you always find time for him, no matter how tired you are. If it were up to you, we would spend every second of free time together.
10. They are sweetly annoying to each other
They fight for no reason. It's a play on words that you use to keep things interesting and steer the conversation in a kind of weird yet funny way. They tease each other and behave like children.
11. They are flirtatious
You don't want anyone around you to notice that something more is going on between you, so you flirt subtly. Innocent kisses on the face, hugs that last longer than they should, and you're always running your hand up and down my back. Every physical contact is polite and friendly, but at the same time so tense that it cuts through the air.
12. Time is a relative thing
Every time they are next to each other, you lose track of time. They say - time flies when you're happy, when you're enjoying yourself. But the truth is, time flies when you're with the right person.
When you are with the right person, you can talk about many topics and you could not get bored if you wanted to. Even if they sat in complete silence, they would still enjoy each other's company.

13. It's all in the little things
Notice the new shirt. He remembered that you said you like strawberry chocolate, so next time he will surprise you with it. The signs of chemistry are most noticeable when you pay attention to these little things.
14. Mystery and anticipation
Mystery and anticipation go hand in hand with good chemistry. The secret and the way of flirting is what got you hooked. You want to know more and more about the other person.
In a way, chemistry can be seen as a puzzle that both people want to solve. You have some facts and knowledge about each other, but it's all mostly just assumptions.
Getting to know each other better and solving mysteries will also show if this chemistry between you is really sustainable and if there are grounds on which to start building a relationship. It's never good to reveal too much too soon, so take your time solving the puzzle. Get to know each other step by step.
15. Inescapable sexual attraction
The sexual chemistry you share makes any situation you're in incredibly tense. They are attracted in every way. Physical attraction and tension are certainly not the most important signs of chemistry, but they are just as important as the others.
The best kind of chemistry is one that includes all components of body, soul, and mind.
