A big way to tell if you're in love is that you are willing to tell people why you don't want to date around.
Basically you want to be exclusive, and you'll want to actually bring up the conversation.
You won't just assume that you are you both exclusive, you will bring it up and have a willingness to talk about it.
By admitting that you want to be exclusive, you will show a bit of vulnerability.
This vulnerability lets you know that your in love because you're giving up some of their power in the relationship and hoping the other person will say the same thing.
Another big sign is that you give up your so-called Little Black Book.
In today's world that just means that you will delete all the numbers in your phone from all the past hookups.
That shows maturity also.
It shows maturity by saying that you are not willing to go back to your old exes or relationships.
It should be noted, that this does not mean that you can save all the numbers on your computer either, so that just in case, you can call them again.
It means getting rid of them for good.
There's no room in healthy relationships for silly games like that.
It shows that you're willing only to go forward not back.
Another big example of how you can tell you're in love is what you do together, in this example, what you don't do together.
If you were a hard partier or liked to go out all the time and all the sudden you want to stay in with your love, you know something might be up.
If the idea of staying in and doing nothing excites you then consider yourself in love.
When you are in this stage, you know it's just about the two of you and no one else.
When being together and not doing anything is the most amazing thing you can think about then be prepared to admit to yourself that you're in love.
One last thing to note is if you change your spending habits.
Relationships tend to have a changing effect on us.
If we show a willingness and openness to look at ourselves and want to change, you know something is in effect.
This means that you want to change for yourself not the other person.
You will chance because of the openness you show to their way of thinking, not because they are trying to control you.
Spending habits happen to be one of these examples, but, it can be about anything such as; religion, gun-control, abortion, or having children.
