Step 1
Realize that being in love creates chemicals in your body
that make you feel high. Because of this, you may not care about what’s going on in the world around you. To others, you may appear absent-minded.
Know that the world may seem brighter and more beautiful when you’re in love. Don’t be surprised if almost nothing can upset you.
Recognize you want to know everything there is to know about your lover–their likes, dislikes, what makes them laugh and what they want to do with their life.
Notice you may try to cheer up your lover when he’s sad. When he’s sad, it makes you feel sad.
Note that you can’t remember what you ever saw in your ex-lover and you can’t stand being near him. If you are near him, you feel like you’re betraying your new love.
Be aware you may be unable to perform even the simplest of tasks when you’re in love. Because of this, the physical safety of you and those around you may be at risk.
Acknowledge you can’t concentrate on anything for any length of time when you’re in love. Whenever you’re away from your lover, you can’t stop thinking about him.
Admit you’re able to ignore the negative things you see in your lover. No one’s perfect, and sometimes imperfections make your lover more endearing.
Answer “yes” to the following questions to know if your love will last. Can you be yourself with him? Does he still love you when you’re at your worst? Does he make you feel good about yourself? Would you feel the same way if he got fat or was broke?
