Are You Really In Love? 10 Questions To Ask Yourself

Is it real love, or just infatuation?

We talk a lot about how to recognize the signs of love and affection from someone you’re dating, but none of that really matters if you aren’t sure how you feel about them.

Is this something real? Or are you just infatuated with them? Is it just because you have great sex, or is there something truly special developing?

Giving yourself honest answers to these questions will help you know if your feelings are fleeting, or rooted in real love.

1: Would I change my lifestyle for them?

First thing’s first, I didn’t say change your personality, values, beliefs, or standards for them.

But, the truth is that life while in a relationship is vastly different than being single.

You’re considering two (or more, if kids are involved) lives when making decisions instead of just one. You’re working around more schedules, intertwining more obligations, dedicating your time to more than just your own interests.

This is a big commitment, and the older we get, the larger it seems — since we are bringing along more “past” with us into the relationship.
