There is a huge difference between Love and Infatuation, however, most people end up being caught in that huge line difference.
Most times, we tend to attach love to funny feelings, such as butterflies in the tummy, or worst still, thinking about the person all day. No, that is not love, that is you obsessing about someone, who you might most likely not end up with eventually.
Forget those funny and unrealistic feelings, that don’t last more than a minute, here are concrete ways to know you are in love with someone.
Sharing Moments: As humans, we are wired to feel certain emotions according to situation and circumstances around us. Depending on a variety of factors, we choose whether or not to react or respond to such emotions per time.
When you notice that you are drawn to share the same emotions with someone you care about, then that is a sign that you are in love with them. Whether happy moments or sad moments, you just find yourself being on the emotional radar as that special person. 
Thoughtful Thoughts: No, it wasn’t a mistake. Sometimes, when you are infatuated, you can seem to get the person off your mind. Love doesn’t upset the natural balance of things, instead, it promotes the neutrality of situations. Once you find yourself having progressive thoughts about someone you truly care about, then love is at work. Most times, these thoughts are what inspire some random acts, that would eventually suggest that you are both thinking in the same direction.
If you find yourself being disturbed by the thought of this person all through the day non-stop, then it’s best you quench that obsession fire and go back to your normal life.
Loving Yourself: True love might come at the cost of sacrifice, but it should never involve you sacrificing who you truly are to please that person. when you find yourself doing irrational things that might later be harmful to yourself, or the intending relationship, then that is a sign that it is not meant to be.
Love is a choice, and that choice is the head of other major choices in your life. From the moment you decide to love someone, a lot of changes would begin, however, the one to fear, is when you begin to lose yourself, and gradually slip out of the place of happiness. If you find yourself in such a place, get out before it gets too late.
You should never have to doubt when you are in love with someone, however, the human mind can act funny at times. sending different unwanted signals, that might turn out to be false at the end of the day. Help yourself and figure out where you stand by checking with these three mentioned above. If they all match your actions, then congratulations, another level unlocked!
…If they don’t, then best believe it is not too late to start all over again. Love will still find you regardless. Trust the process!
