1. You constantly think of them when you're not together.

Are they drinking coffee right now? Are they having a good day? You sure hope that cold of theirs is getting better. You miss them like crazy even though you just saw them, like, 12 hours ago.

2. Every little thing reminds you of them.

Yep, the fact that you saw a billboard for a movie they like and were cut off in traffic by a car that looks a lot like theirs are totally signs you're destined for each other.

3. They make you feel like you can do anything.

They challenge you, but in the best of ways. They make you feel empowered to be the best version of yourself, because they see everything about you that's awesome and totally believe in you.

4. Not to get all corny or anything, but life is sort of in technicolor now.

Have you ever felt this alive before? Has food always tasted this good and the sun always been so bright? Did you really actually date other people once? Everything feels like it's happening for the first time.

5. And thanks to them, you're discovering parts of yourself you never knew existed.

As it turns out, getting to know someone new shines a pretty bright light on your own character, and you're that much better for it.

6. You want your friends to adore them.

And you just know they will.

7. But not just yet, because you want to keep this magic to yourself for as long as possible.

You want to selfishly savor your new love and let it grow on its own terms for as long as you can before sharing it with everyone else in your life. Maybe you're even content to keep the romance off social media right now, because for the moment, it's only for you two, like a special little secret club.

8. You hang out with them during prime weekend time.

If you're giving up your Saturday nights to cuddle on the couch with them or venturing out for day dates on chilly winter Sundays, you know you're hooked.

9. All other romantic prospects sort of lose their luster.

Hmm, what was it that made your unrequited love for that dude Brad at the office so enticing for all those years?

10. And Tinder seems kind of boring now.

Who could possibly be more more amazing than your new bae?

11. The sex is the best you've ever had...

In fact, it pops into your head every few seconds, and you maybe can't stop thinking about it when you're supposed to be focusing on an exam or standing in line at the DMV.

12. ...but it's only one piece of the puzzle.

Your physical connection is amazing, but the emotional bond you're building is part of what makes the sex so out of this world.

13. When you're with them, you have boundless energy.

Instead of draining you, spending time with them makes you feel more vibrant than you have in years.

14. You're suddenly ~totally into~ that hobby of theirs you've always hated.

Now, spending your weekends deep-diving into curling or WWE wrestling matches doesn't seem so bad.

15. You discover something new about them every day.

And each new revelation feels like Christmas morning.

16. You're obsessed with the tiniest things about them, like the way they roll up their sleeves when they're feeling relaxed or the focused look on their face when they're washing dishes.

To you, it's all magical.

17. You make mental lists of everything you want to catch them up on once you see them again.

You might take notes, just in case you forget. (I won't tell, I swear.)

18. You maybe even have a file on your computer of links and random internet stuff you can't wait to email them.

Hey, you can't just send them all at once! That would be overwhelming!

19. You pore over their favorite books and movies.

Mostly, you're looking for more keys to how their mind works and what they're all about, but you're also super obsessed with everything they love.

20. Getting to know them is like unwrapping a present.

You want to know everything about them: what their childhood was like, the scariest thing that ever happened to them, their most vulnerable moment, their favorite meal...

21. And you love them for who they are, not who they might be.

Nobody's perfect, but their imperfections and baggage are just the right fit for your own. Instead of deciding they'd be a great match for you if they just chucked a few nasty habits here and there, you already appreciate them as they are.

22. Your eyes light up when they walk into a room.

You couldn't hide your adoration if you tried.

23. You're living on a steady stream of adrenaline.

You know you're falling in love, because you're riding on a roller coaster of emotional highs.

24. You're kind of scared of what all this means, but you're too excited to let it hold you back.

Taking the leap of falling for someone is terrifying! In the past, you might have even let that stop you from going for someone you liked, but this time, it's all too amazing to let your fears get in the way.

25. Because something about them feels like coming home.

And oh, how cozy that is.

26. And if life is really great, they're just as obsessed with you as you are with them, which is what makes it really magical.
