When you’re in love, you feel a range of sensations. Just on the physical side of things, you’ll feel butterflies and sparks, and maybe even a shakiness in your hands from all the nerves. It’s such a ride! No wonder they call it falling “head over heels” — it’s like being thrown upside-down, physically and emotionally. If you’ve met someone new, here are 11 signs you’ve fallen head over heels for them.
1. You Have A Strong Connection.
You feel drawn to the person you’re dating, as though they’re a magnet. No one else in the room makes you feel such a powerful connection. You might want to be affectionate or kiss them, or perhaps you want to be around them 24-7 because you enjoy their company so much. It’s like they’re a drug and you just can’t get enough of them.
2. You Feel What They Feel.
When you love someone, you have great empathy for them. When they’re happy after getting a new job, you’ll feel excited for them. Similarly, when they’re depressed, you’ll feel under the weather as though someone’s turned the dial on your mood. You feel so connected to them emotionally, as though you share the same moods and feelings.
3. You Feel Like Your Best Self.
The great thing about love is that it rubs off on you, leaving behind its glitter and gold. You feel like you’re more confident and happy. You’ve uncensored yourself so you can be your best self. The feeling is addictive! But luckily, you can snag it by falling in love with yourself, no one else required.

4. You Feel At Home With Them.
Falling in love can be an intense rush of excitement, but it also gives you a feeling of comfort. Some people describe it as coming home. Since home is a place where you feel comfortable, happy, and safe, that’s pretty cool. When you’re around this person, you feel like you can kick your shoes off and relax.
5. You Can’t Stop Thinking About Them.
When you’re not around the person, your mind goes to them all the time. You see a cute cat and it reminds you of their cat, or you hear a love song and it makes you think of them. You also miss them and can’t wait to be with them again. It’s sometimes all-consuming. These thoughts and feelings might make you feel anxious to get into a relationship with them because you don’t want to waste any time.
6. You See Things Differently.
Falling in love can make you stop and take stock of your life. It can wake you up to the way you’re living, such as by making you change your priorities and reframe your future plans. So, if you’ve met someone who makes you question your choices, you could be dealing with a love situation.
7. You’re Euphoric.
Have you ever been so happy that it feels like you’re floating through the world? You’re in love, babe! Your body’s dopamine neurotransmitter is making you feel euphoria by reinforcing pleasure, such as by flooding you with fuzzy feelings when you see the person you love. People can see you’re glowing and radiating happiness, which is why they tend to hit on you more when you’re in a new relationship.
8. You’re Drawing Up A Future With Them.
You might be daydreaming about your future with this person and you can’t help but imagine them in your plans. Soon, you’ll want to talk to them about this to ensure you’re on the same page and because you don’t want to miss a moment with them. You’re ready to commit to them and include them in your life and dreams.
9. You Reach For Them First.
When you fall in love with someone, they become the first person you think of when you have good news to share and the first person you reach for when something goes wrong and you need help. This is a good sign that you’re putting your trust in them and you want them to play a major role in your life.
10. You Shut Down Other Romantic Opportunities.

When you fall for someone new in your life, you’ll only have eyes for them. You’ll realize that all your previous relationships had to fail so you could reach this moment. You won’t hesitate to block your exes on social media, delete your dating app profile, and shut down people who flirt with you. All you want is to be with your person.
11. You Want To Know Everything About Them.
You’re so hungry for knowledge about this person that you could talk to them for hours straight on the phone, not even just via text. You want to know what they like and dislike, what their dreams are, and everything about their upbringing. You’re so interested in them and wish you could step inside their head for the day. It’s like you’ve found a new Netflix series you’re addicted to and want to binge-watch it all weekend.
