What is True Love

Summary
True love can not be described in words, it is a feeling of passion, warmth, care, and desire. There are no conditions involved and this feeling is always constant in every up and down of life. 

With true love, you can handle any hardship easily. When someone loves you, they can look through your soul and admire everything about you. 

Seeing your partner can give you butterflies in the stomach and the spark is always intense between you two. 

True love can be limitless and last longer. It will not allow you to see each other in pain and can make you do anything to bring a smile to your partner’s face. 

The journey of a relationship is not always easy, people in love may have to experience different complicated scenarios. 

But, their faith and confidence in each other can eliminate all the barriers they face. 


Signs of True Love from a Man

When you are dating someone for a long time, you may wonder if that person truly loves you or not. 

To understand the true intention of your partner, it is necessary to pay attention to the details. 

1. You feel safe with them

It is really important that you feel safe and secure when around him. Someone who is in love with you will never cause any harm physically or mentally.

You should not feel threatened when you are around him.

He can never force you to do something you are clearly not interested in. Feeling safe also involves making your own decisions without any pressure from someone. 

There should be no fear involved to express yourself and your needs. Negative criticism or negative judgments should not be a part of a healthy loving relationship

Misunderstandings or disagreements are always a part of a relationship.

But, someone who loves you, will try to control his anger or irritation and initiate a healthy discussion to resolve those issues. 

Even if any negative outburst happens, as soon as he realizes that it is making you uncomfortable, he will rectify the process. 

2. They listen to you

Someone who loves you will be interested in your life all the time. Whenever there is a need to talk he is ready to listen. 

Long and healthy talks without any interruption is a part of this kind of relationship. 

He will pay attention to every detail and try to remember all of it. You can sense the care and concerns in his words. 

Someone who loves you will never get irritated or lose patience when you are talking about something. 

Whenever you bring up any conflicts, concerns, or problems in your relationship, your partner will never ignore them. 

He will always listen to your problems and try to understand your feelings in every step of your relationship. 

A healthy discussion with you is a must before making a huge decision about different things.

Your opinions and thoughts are precious to him and he will never leave a chance to express that. 

3. They do not try to change you

Your bond with your partner may be strong enough but at the end of the day, you two are very different people. 

It is normal to have different hobbies, different likes and dislikes. Something that you do not want in your life can be very dearest to your partner. 

You may have a different approach or a different perspective about certain things but it is important for your partner to accept those differences. 

He must show some interest in your perspective and try to understand where you are coming from. 

He should not try to force his ideas on you and accept you for who you are. You both should try harder and find mutual ground.

No one in this world is perfect. A man who loves you will accept all your flaws along with your positives. He will never try to change who you are and force you to be something else. 

4. Communication is not one-sided 

Communication is very easy with someone who is in love. There are no insecurities or fear involved in these communications.

You do not have to think twice before sharing your thoughts and needs with your partner. 

Every time you speak he will always actively participate in the discussion. You will always receive good feedback every time you need it.

In such a relationship, communication is never one-sided with your partner. 

He will show interest in your thoughts and views even if he does not agree with them. You will never feel left out or ignored when you are sharing something with your man. 


Signs of True Love from a Woman 

5. She always wants the best for you

She never settles for something average, she believes that you always deserve the best.

Loving someone does not mean holding them back or forcing them to do something they do not like. 

Someone who truly loves you will never keep you away from your dreams, even if it means letting you go. 

For example, you get a chance to achieve your dreams but for it, you have to go away to some different country. 

If a woman is in love with you will encourage you and help you to move forward no matter how insecure and sad he/ she is. 

One more example can be given from this perspective. Let us say, one of your old friends has been in love with you for some time now.

But, you on the other hand love someone else. He/ she will never come in between you and your love even if it breaks their heart in pieces. 

6. Trust is important

Trust is one of the most important factors in any relationship or love. Your partner should trust you with all their heart. 

Love always comes within the trust. If she is not ready to put her trust in you that means her love is not yet complete. 

Before searching for this sign you must be certain that your partner has no reason to distrust you. 

You should be honest and loyal to your partner and she will never have a reason to accuse you of hiding something or cheating. 

She will not try to enter your personal space or ask too many questions about the things you are not comfortable sharing yet. 

A woman who loves you must have faith that you will share everything whenever you are ready and there is nothing to worry about. 

7. They make efforts

Women love to express that they are putting so much effort into making your relationship grow and get stronger.

A good woman who loves you will do anything to make you smile and to make you feel special. 

Someone who really cares will always give you priority in their life. Planning small surprises, and special events always reflects efforts and love. 

Trying something new together is another important sign that can spice up the romance. 

8. You both collaborate pretty well

The way someone handles conflicts or disagreements is really important in a relationship. It always defines the ability to work together and achieve success. 

Love can make you a great team and you can win anything when working together. 

If you like someone you may try to adjust or compromise in different areas of life. But when the person in front of you feels the same about you, things will not be one-sided. 

She will move forward the same way and never let you feel uncomfortable or unhappy. 

Finding a solution together will be easy every time there is a conflict. Thus, the collaboration between you two will be satisfying all the time.

No matter what you are struggling with or stressing about, your boyfriend is there to reduce your pain and bring a smile to your face.

A person in love will never outlook anything positive that you have. It can be the simplest thing but it will be cherished.

Signs That You Are Truly in Love with Someone

There are certain signs that you can search for in yourself to understand your feelings about someone you are crushing on. 

16. You can not stay angry for too long

Every relationship has its fair share of fights. Even if you are not happy with something that your partner has done, it is not easy to be angry with someone you love. 

Everything they do to impress you seems so cute and innocent that you can not help but smile no matter how much anger you have.

Even if they do not agree with you on certain things, you can not stay away from them for too long. Sometimes you prefer to lose the argument than lose the person you love. 

This situation that you are into may be your partner’s fault. But when you see them full of guilt, sadness, and regrets all your anger will melt away.

They will move closer when they are talking about their feelings or asking you something about your personal life.

If you do the same while talking to someone to express your interest and they also lean forward that means they are definitely interested. 

Moving their body away from you symbolizes that they do not feel the same about you and they are currently not interested. 

Sometimes, things can be really confusing and it is possible that they are experiencing different conflicts with you and unable to reach a conclusion. 

In this case, they may just sit in the same posture without moving their body forward or pulling away. 

36. Mirroring

Mirroring is very common in the case of any romantic relationship. When someone is too attached to you and influenced by you, he/ she will try to copy you at every step without realizing it.

Sometimes a person can start mimicking you just to catch your attention or to build a rapport.  

37. Eye contact

Eyes can reflect all your emotions without any verbal communication. When you like someone you will always lose yourself in their eyes. 

The frequency and the amount of eye contact are also really important. 

Cold and long stares do not count as a sign of love. This is kind of creepy and uncomfortable.

Long glances can signify that someone is trying to figure something out about you or observing you for some reason. 

Romantic eye contact has to be subtle and a smile comes along with it. A calm and soothing vibe can come from their eyes. There will be nothing weird or negative about it. 

38. Sweaty palms

Talking to the person you love can make you nervous and excited at the same time. It creates a rush of adrenaline in your body which can result in sweaty palms. 

Though your palms can sweat due to some other emotions like stress or anxiety when you combine this with other signs you can get the actual reason. 

39. Blushing

Blushing is inevitable when you see the person you love even if that person is not looking at you. 

Whenever you look at him/ her or think about that person, your cheeks may turn red and you can not help but blush. 

It is a sign that you are attracted to that person and you want him/ her to make a big part of your life. 


Things That You Should Be Careful about to Maintain The Spark

When you are in a relationship with someone you love for a long time, you may have to face several complications or challenges together. With time the number of responsibilities increases too. 

This can lighten the spark or the excitement in a relationship.

There are several things that you must be careful about if you do not want to lose the spark and make everything monotonous. 

  • Do not take each other for granted
  • Always make time for each other
  • Never let the anger come in the way
  • Divide your responsibilities and fulfill them together as a team
  • Try something new and exciting now and then
  • Never let a routine bore you
  • More talking, less fighting
  • Spice up the intimacy
  • Surprise each other
  • Take a short vacation after a hectic week

Difference Between True Love, Lust, and Infatuation 

People often get confused between love, lust, and infatuation. There is a fine line between all these three to keep them separate from each other. 

Infatuation is an overwhelming feeling of attachment for someone. It does not allow you to see the reality of the person in front.

You often build a fantasy of that person and portray him/ her exactly the way you want. 

Infatuation can create several negative emotions like nervousness, anxiety, or insecurities. It is a temporary condition and with time it starts to fade. 

Lust, on the other hand, is entirely based upon physical attraction. There is not much emotional connection involved in this phase.

You do not believe in spending quality time and just want to take him/ her to bed. 

Love is something entirely different and positive. It is something that dies to fade away easily.

When you are in love with someone, you will try to know everything about him/ her and develop a never-ending bond. 

It is hard to ignore the connection or the attraction one feels when in love. 


Conclusion 

To understand true love you have to keep patient and pay attention to every detail. Think about how the person in front makes you feel.

Focus on their behavior when they are around you. 

Once you understand their feelings for you and if you feel the same, do not wait around.

True love is not that easy to get in life. Go and confront your feelings and enjoy every precious moment together.
