Various scientists and philosophers have tried a lot to define love, but there is no formula to define the meaning of it.
Below we have listed five characteristics of love. If you have all five feelings about someone, it means you love him and your love is real. These five things must be fulfilled to conclude that the feeling you are experiencing is love.
1. The feeling of happiness and you also want to make him happy
The feeling of happiness to be near or to interact with someone is one sign that there is a feeling of love in you. Especially when you see your partner happy, you feel happy too. Therefore, you also feel that you always want to make him happy.
2. A sense of interest/admiration
This does not only relate to physical but also non-verbal. Physical attraction describes an interest or impressions you have towards someone and his achievements. Meanwhile, admiration is more to non-verbal things that make you impress, such as his sense of humor or his helpful nature.
3. A sense to care and giving attention
Do you always want to be notified immediately as he arrives at his destination? Or, you often ask what food he wants? Those attentions, which generally continue because you have a desire to try to fulfill or to just make him feel comfortable, are signs that you are in love.
4. Making sacrifices
Sacrifice between parents and children is a common thing. Likewise, couples, who love each other, are willing to sacrifice for their partner, simple or major.
5. Bringing up the goodness
Loving someone positively means you feel good things in yourself too. It is shown by better words and deeds you express, as well as more self-confidence. In addition to the five features above, an important point to remember is that love must be both ways. Both of you and he must feel the same way to be able to become a couple who are mentally and physically attached.
