What is Falling in Love?

What is Falling in Love?

“ I found myself falling in love with him all over again. I fell in love with the broken parts and the parts that had healed and changed for the better.” -Meredith Wild

It's hard to say when the first person called it “falling” in love. Do we really fall when we love someone, or do we rise? Falling in love just means that you completely love someone and it defines a large part of your life. If this person who you fell for becomes a part of your life, they change your life forever-even if you don't end up together! That's the scary part about it, and maybe that's why people say when they start loving someone for the first time, they have “fallen” for them.

When you truly fall for someone, you love them so completely, you don't worry that it might make you feel stupid when they're around. You just want to be around them. You don't worry that you have to be selfless, you just want to give to them and make them happy. You might be afraid that things won't work out, but it's hard for you to let that hold you back. Sometimes they're all you can think about, sometimes you want to do everything for them or with them, and sometimes they become the most important person in your life. No matter what, you should always choose love. Find out why here: The Case for Always Choosing Love

How Do We Fall in Love?

“ Love happens when you least expect it. One moment you are washing your car, and the next, the person of your dreams walks into your life.”- Unknown

How we fall in love varies. It's different for different people. Sometimes it just happens on its own. Sometimes it happens instantaneously. You might click or be alike or fit in each other's lives and love is just automatic. Sometimes love develops over time though. You appreciate them for their presence in your life, love itself grows on you, or you move through life together and love happens.

It Just Happens

“ Falling in love is sudden, easy, and fun. It's like a child going down a playground slide.”- Jayden Hunter

You Click

Have you ever just automatically hit it off with someone? Your personalities just naturally meshed and you couldn't get enough of each other? People say that means you click, or you just immediately fit together. Maybe that's what happens when they say it was love at first sight. How do you know if it’s love at first sight though?

You Are Alike

Love can happen easily when you have a lot in common. That’s when you have the same crazy sense of humor, when you have so many shared interests, you love spending time together regularly, or your lifestyles are so similar. You're just a lot alike. Some people say that opposites attract, but you have to share some similarities to reconcile lifestyle together. When you are so alike that you can't imagine being a part, sometimes love happens.

You Fit with Each Other

You Fit with Each Other

Not everybody fits together. If you harmonize and can easily fit into each other’s lives, love will happen. Some people love being with someone who fits into their life, someone who has shared interests, shared goals and life, and personality similarities creates love. Even if you're not identical, but you somehow complete each other, it can make you fall in love. When you seem to complete each other, make each other better, or make your lives whole together, you really fit with each other and you might fall madly in love. If you feel like you are a fit for each other, tell them- you can reach out first. Find out how here: Reaching Out First in Relationships- How to Do It

It Develops

“ I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”- John Green

Sometimes love happens instantaneously, but other times it takes time to develop. Sometimes it develops over time as you realise that you can trust someone and they're there for you no matter what. Sometimes you learn to love someone as you get to know them. Other times, love develops because you build a life with someone and you move in the same directions together.

You Appreciate Them

The people who are there to celebrate your victories and help encourage you as you pick yourself up after you fall down are there for you through thick and thin. Over time, you learn to trust them, and you love them for that. You love the fact that you know that you can count on them no matter what happens. You love the fact that you can call them anytime for anything and they will be there for you. Sometimes love happens because you're attracted to someone the minute you meet them and other times love happens because you love how people treat you long term. This goes beyond having a crush, but what can you say to your crush? Find out here: What to Say When You Have a Crush on Someone

It Grows on You

Not every love relationship starts the minute you meet someone. Sometimes as you take your time to get to know someone, love for them grows. Some people say that first impressions are forever. Sometimes first impressions are wrong. Sometimes you are friends for a long time and then you become lovers and spend the rest of your lives together. Sometimes, someone gets on your nerves the first time you meet them, and then as you get to know them, you realize that you really like them. Love isn't always instant, Sometimes it grows.

You Move Together

When life moves you around with changes happening all around you, who is there with you along the way? Who changes with you as you change? The people who have proven, time and again, over the years, that they are with you no matter how things change are the ones who you build your life with. As you build your lives together, you love them more every day for that. You set goals together, work to meet them together, and celebrate victories together. If you're together for a long time, you age together too.

How to Fall in Love Again

“ This chapter of my life is called ‘Smiling again’. ”- Unknown

After heartbreak, believe it or not, love happens again. How does it happen? We have to allow ourselves to fall in love again. It might feel impossible after a heartbreak or a really bad relationship, but if you let it, it will happen for you. You have got to listen to your heart and then have faith that your heart is leading you in the right direction. Then, let trust build slowly. You're not on any deadlines to finalize the relationship, so take your time.

Listen to Your Heart

After heartbreak, we can panic and close ourselves off. It can feel safer to pull back and hide away from new relationships. There will come a day when something in you changes. When your heart pulls you towards someone, listen. Your heart is letting you know that you're ready to open yourself again, and you should do that. Think of all the people you've met in your whole life. Not all of them will stay with you long term. Some of them will. The ones who do will have a first day coming into your life. When your heart tells you that this is one of your people waiting to love you, listen to your heart and let them in.

Take a Leap of Faith

Take a Leap of Faith

Love is something that makes us human. It's something we all need to feel, it's something that we need to share. If something in you is drawn to someone, give yourself the chance to experience a relationship with them. It's hard having faith in new people, but you can have faith in yourself. You know what draws you to people, you know what your type is, and you know what makes you happy. Before you were broken hearted, you believed in love and you took a chance. Don't let a heartbreaker hold you back from taking that chance again, Take a leap of faith and give love a chance. Will you ever fall in love again?

Let Trust Build

When you've been broken hearted, it can be very difficult to learn to trust someone else with your feelings. It can be difficult to trust someone else with your life, or even have access to a little bit of your time. Don't rush it. Let trust build gradually with new people. You are not on a deadline to be in a long term relationship, so just relax. It takes time to get to know people, and it takes time to decide if you trust them enough to let them into your life.

 Signs It’s a Good Match

“ I am absolutely, definitely, positively, unquestionably, no strings attached, without any doubt, unconditionally, and love with you.”- My Dear Valentine

It's not always easy to tell if you're a match with someone. Just because you have feelings for someone doesn't mean they're falling in love with you, too. Signs you're a good match for love include that they get you and you get them. They will make your life better, and they will bring out the best in you. Best of all, if you both feel it, love has happened.

You “Get” Each Other

When you have found a special person to love, you will understand each other on a soul level. Your vibes will make sense together. They will be easy for you to understand and you will be easy for them to understand. When you are a natural match for love, that understanding just happens on its own. Of course, you will still have to effectively communicate, but it will be a lot easier to communicate with them than someone who you're not in love with. Do you love them more, or do they love you more? Find out here: Do They Love You More? When You Love Them More

They Make Everything Better

A sign that someone is a good match for you is that you make each other's lives better and you bring out the best in each other. If someone stresses you, uses you, and doesn't contribute anything, or just makes the day a drudge, it doesn’t matter if you have feelings for them. They are not a good match. Love is supposed to make our lives better. Love makes you better, because it makes you happy, it makes you want to give of yourself. If you and this person makes each other’s lives better, it's love.

You Both Feel It

One of the most important things that will let you know if you're a good match for each other or not is that you both feel like you are. If they feel like it's a good match but you don't, then it isn't. if you feel like it's a good match and they don't, then it isn't. A love relationship is between two people who want it. You both have to feel like it's a good match, You both have to want to be together, and you both have to be in love for it to be a good match. Even if you are both opposites, love can still happen.

Can You “Make” Love Happen?

Some people think that love can happen when it's not there. They believe that we can find ways to make people fall in love. Some people think they can change what they say or do and they will make somebody fall in love with them who says they don't. True love can't be forced. Sometimes, love develops where it wasn't before, but that will happen on its own. If you have fallen for someone, and they say they've not fallen for you, there's nothing you can do to change their mind. If you truly love someone, give them the opportunity to decide for themselves whether they want to be with you.

Isn't love about making someone else happy? If they say they wouldn't be happy with you, believe them. Maybe in the future they will. Give it a chance. Just don't try to force it. Be yourself, unapologetically. Love the way that you love, genuinely. Just make sure to give the person that you love the right to make their own decision. Isn't that what love Is all about?

So how do we fall in love? It either happens spontaneously, or it happens over time. Love at first sight is a possibility, but it's not the way love happens for everyone. Love grows when you realize that someone has got your back, and at other times it develops after you've been through a lot together. Love happens for all of us, so if you love someone and they don't love you, don't worry, someone else is waiting right around the corner to love you. I promise.
