Love is strange. It’s wild, uncontrollable, and can happen totally by accident when you least expect it. How to know if you’re actually in love with someone? If you’re acting in any of the points mentioned here, then girl, you’ve been attacked by the love bug.   1. Pag nagtext sya sayo. Hala! Sige. Takbo agad sa tindahan para magpaload. If there is someone your life, whose call, message or simply a text lightens up your day and thus making your phone your constant companion in every situation, then this is a clear sign that you are falling for this someone special.   2. Hindi mo na naaalala ang manloloko mong EX. If you’ve been through a nasty breakup, you have probably learned that jumping from one relationship straight into another (i.e. “the rebound”) is one of the worst ideas ever. “Love hurts” is a global phenomenon but it’s a matter of fact that it also heals all wounds. The sweet old memories of your honey bunny always torture you but ever since you met the ‘new’ boy, your ex goes furthest from your mind. If you’re feeling felicitous in the new company and barely recalls the old one, then…..Bingo!   3. Napapangiti ka mag-isa kapag naiisip mo sya. A little love in your system can surprise you so much, you can’t help but smile. It’s half because you feel so good, and half because you’re laughing at yourself.   4. Makita mo palang sya. Kilig to the max ka na. If you are asking yourself, ‘Do I love him?’ That’s easy. Think about what you are feeling the moment you are about to see him. Are you excited and happy? Maybe your heart is beating as it’s about to jump right out of your chest and into his arms? Or are you indifferent and you only seeing him just because he is your boyfriend? Once you sort this issue out in your mind, you will have a clear picture in your mind. Love is all about the flutters in your stomach and happiness when you see his face. If you don’t feel that, than you are far away from love.   5. Pag tumingin sya sayo. Feeling mo matutunaw ka na. If just the sight of them brings a smile to your face and makes you excited, then you probably love them. Especially if just thinking of them makes you happier. Suddenly, it’s impossible to hold a decent conversation with the object of your affection, because you’re afraid if you look them in the eye, they’ll be able to tell you’re melting for them inside. A good trick: talk to their forehead.   6. Nagiging futuristic ka na. Iniisip mo na agad ang future nyo. Whenever you think about what may come, they are always right beside you. A real sign of falling in love with someone is when you change the course of your future to entwine with someone else’s. If you’re making plans to move in them, marry them, or have children with them, you’re well on your way.   7. Hindi ka makatulog kase iniisip mo pa sya.  No matter what you do, they’re on your mind. They’re the last thing you think about before going to bed at night and the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning. When you’re in love you can’t help but let your mind stray and more often than not it’s to thoughts about your significant other.
