So here are all the true signs that I am in love!

Whether you’re goofing around or talking about your biggest fears, you feel this sense of calm. You don’t feel judged or like you have to put on a front. Instead, you can just be.
2. You Feel Protective of Them
You’d probably laugh if someone called you “protective,” but with them, it just happens. You worry about their well-being, defend them when others are unfair, and genuinely care that they’re okay.
3. Their Quirks Don’t Annoy You (They’re Actually Kinda Cute!)
The little things that might bother anyone else are charming to you. They mess up words sometimes? Adorable. They can’t cook to save their life? You don’t care; it just makes them more endearing.
4. You’re Not as Interested in Flirting With Anyone Else Anymore
Suddenly, all those dating app notifications and flirty texts feel meh. Even if you used to be a total flirt, now it feels different. Other people aren’t even on your radar because, honestly, they just don’t compare.
5. You Care What Their Friends Think About You
Meeting their friends isn’t just “meeting the friends” anymore—it matters to you. You want their squad to see you as someone who brings out the best in them. And if you care this much about what they think, that’s love creeping in.
6. You’re Curious About Their Past, Their Dreams, and Even Their Fears
