Even if you don't admit it and suppress your emotions, the heart cannot hide it.
What are the most obvious signs that you are falling in love with someone you only see for sexual pleasure?
People often enter into casual relationships, in which there is an agreement between two people that they only see each other for sexual pleasure, but not that they have any obligations to each other.
However, these types of relationships often result in situations where one party falls in love while the other may remain reticent. But some casual relationships can even turn into serious love stories.
We reveal which 5 psychological signs indicate that you have fallen in love with a person you only see occasionally:
1. You give up your usual activities
When you are in love with someone, you have an increasing need to spend time with that person. But when the relationship is non-committal, people only see each other for moments of sex and not for the rest of their free time.
However, when a person is in love, they begin to crave their presence, think about their proximity, and often postpone other activities, tasks, obligations or meetings in order to see that person.
2. You idealize the person
Being in love can distort your sense of reality a bit. Chances are, if you're deeply in love with someone, you'll have a somewhat unrealistic idea of who they are and what they're like, and why they're really together.
Even when a person does something you find unattractive or dislike, don't notice it. Idealizing a partner is negative and can lead to disappointment. Try to see the good and bad sides in the other person.
3. Always think of that person
Falling in love means completely surrendering your feelings to another person. It occupies all your thoughts. This is partly due to oxytocin – a hormone that can affect emotions, cognition and can help you feel more connected to someone.
5. Say "we"
People who are in casual relationships say "I", while those in love use "we" in communication. Also, "we" is used when planning a joint future, when we begin to perceive someone as our "other half". When you say "we", it means that you are already a couple.
If you're in an on-again, off-again relationship and you feel these signs and realize you're falling in love, it's time to talk to the other party. Talk openly about your feelings and how you want your relationship to develop.
If the other party has the same intentions, you can start a beautiful love story. But if he rejects you, then it might be better to get out of the relationship. You deserve someone who returns your feelings and love.
