ONLINE DATING
Signs You’re Falling in Love with Someone You Met Online
You’re humming love songs, smiling by yourself, and daydreaming in the middle of a busy day.
You had no expectations at the outset. But ever since you’ve been chatting with a woman you met online, your days seem brighter; you feel like you’re on cloud nine.
Catching yourself, you wonder, “Is this love, or is something seriously wrong with me?”
Sometimes, we don’t want to admit we’ve caught the love bug. So, we ask the universe for all sorts of confirmation.
In this case, instead of looking into your feelings, which you may deny repeatedly, take note of your behavior, which shows more objective signs you’re falling in love.
1. You often want to share something about yourself
Do you share every little thing about yourself or your day with her?
Weeks of chatting have transformed her from being a name on the screen to someone who has become a part of your life.
You update her with what you’re up to and your whereabouts. She’s the first person you want to inform when something surprising or sad happens. Above all, your day isn’t complete without a message from her.
2. You respond right away
Do you get excited when her message pops up on your phone?
You often wait for her message. And once you receive it, you’re quick to respond, even though you’re in the middle of your work or a meal. You can’t help it; she has you smitten and enjoying the conversation.
And when you fail to respond immediately, you always try to make it up.
3. You apologize when you can’t respond
Do you feel the need to apologize and inform her when you can’t communicate, whether because you’re busy or in a weak-signal area?
One of the signs you’re falling in love is when, even though you’re not committed to each other, you’re afraid she might misunderstand your silence.
You want to reassure her that you’re very much interested in continuing your communications, lest she gets hurt or disappointed.
4. You’re willing to hear her out
Do you reach out to her after an argument?
Your conversations are becoming deeper and richer. You have even gotten to the point where you sometimes argue. But while you might sulk at her, you can’t stop yourself from reaching out.
You want to patch things up and are willing to hear her side of the story. Fights are too much trouble, but you’d rather humble yourself than risk losing her.
5. You make plans to meet in person
Do you want to meet her in person?
If you don’t want your interactions to stay online, it’s obvious she’s captured your heart. You want to see her in the flesh and enjoy her company.
You often suggest going to the beach or trying out a new restaurant together. You can even imagine yourself hopping on a plane and surprising her with a visit.
Accept Your Feelings
Asking whether you’re in love is already one of the signs you’re falling in love. You wouldn’t be wondering if you hadn’t felt it in your gut in the first place.
Nevertheless, admitting your feelings can be difficult. However, if you’re genuine in your search for love, being vulnerable is a risk worth taking.
