Love is a wonderful topic, and one we like to talk about often. In this article, Beauty and Tips takes a look at the ten\u00a0stages of falling in love\u00a0you need to know about.<\/p>\n

How amazing is love? When you feel your heart beat a little faster each time you think of him, you know you\u2019re in love. When you get a tingle running down your spine when he smiles at you, you know you\u2019re in love.<\/p>\n

There are many signs, and being in love is the best feeling ever. There is nothing else quite like it.<\/p>\n

But what do the\u00a0stages of love\u00a0look like?<\/p>\n

Love isn\u2019t something that just happen. You don\u2019t wake up one morning with a melted heart after going to bed with a heart of stone. It happens in stages. It\u2019s a process \u2013 an amazing process that the two of you go through together.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling all fuzzy and loved-up at the moment, let\u2019s take a look at the\u00a010 stages of falling in love you need to know about.<\/p>\n

Physical Attraction<\/b><\/p>\n

Before anything else, there has to be physical attraction. If you don\u2019t fancy the other person, love can never blossom. The way they flash their smile at you, the way their eyes twinkle at night, and the way they carry themselves as they walk must all make you gooey at the knees. Being physically attracted to someone doesn\u2019t make anyone superficial. It\u2019s the first stage of love. We must like the way someone looks before we pursue them, getting to know them and truly falling for them.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the way someone looks is the first thing we notice. They might not have even opened their mouths, and already we\u2019re hooked.<\/p>\n

Friendship<\/b><\/p>\n

A lot of people make the mistake of rushing into the first date, before wondering why the date didn\u2019t work out. It didn\u2019t work out because there was probably no spark. And there was no spark because you weren\u2019t yet friends who were on the level.<\/p>\n

One of\u00a0stages of falling in love\u00a0is friendship. This is the part where you break the ice, get to know each other, and start properly bantering. The teasing begins, the fun starts \u2013 and so do the more serious questions. You get to understand how one another works, what makes you both tick, and what your goals are.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only after you\u2019ve been friends for a while and feel comfortable with each other that you can truly take things forward.<\/p>\n

The Connect<\/b><\/p>\n

Ever been on a date with someone and not felt any connection? It happens. You can hang out as friends just fine, but there\u2019s no romantic synergy. You just can\u2019t see you getting to know this person intimately. You can\u2019t see you holding them at night, sleeping with them, and living with them.<\/p>\n

There are many ways we connect with our lover. We connect with shared values, beliefs, ideas and mindsets. We also connect spiritually, philosophically, and in terms of our sense of humour.<\/p>\n

Finding a connection with your potential partner is the third stage of\u00a0falling in love.<\/p>\n

The First Date<\/b><\/p>\n

After the two of you have realise there is a connection, the next step is to head out onto that nerve-wracking first date.<\/p>\n

Sure, you\u2019ll both be nervous as heck. You might even be feeling some pressure to impress the other person (you\u00a0will\u00a0be feeling the pressure). But the first date is officially the first time you guys lock eyes and realise there is possibly more than just a spark \u2013 there is true love.<\/p>\n

\n

Spending Time With Them<\/b><\/p>\n

Once the nervy first date is out of the way, it\u2019s time to start spending some quality time with them. Perhaps you\u2019ll take trips together, go on weekend outings together, and most likely get intimate.<\/p>\n

This is one of those\u00a0stages of falling in love, when you\u2019ll certainly be seeing a lot of each other, as you get to know one another like the back of your hands. It\u2019s during this time where you\u2019ll likely have deeper conversations, uncovering each other\u2019s thoughts on parenthood, marriage and careers.<\/p>\n

Literally Doing Everything Together<\/b><\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t anything you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0do together at this point. You spend every spare moment you can with them, hanging out at their place, sleeping over, even heading to work from there. You can\u2019t get enough of them, and they\u2019ve become your number one priority. Your friends ask if you have any plans for the weekend, and the first thing you do is ask your partner \u201cDo we?\u201d<\/p>\n

Everything revolves around them now. Not only do you not have any alone time, but you don\u2019t really\u00a0want\u00a0any.<\/p>\n

Spending Time With Their Family<\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve possibly already met their family before now. But as the relationship progresses and you fall ever more in love, you find yourself hanging out with each others\u2019 family more often. You eat dinner with them on Sundays, spend evenings playing games, and bond with their mom or dad.<\/p>\n

Maybe you even get to know their extended family, and find yourself offering to help uncle\u2019s and aunty\u2019s who could do with your advice. And you love it all!<\/p>\n

And before you know it, their mom and dad are coming on holiday with you!<\/p>\n

You Become More Open<\/b><\/p>\n

As you feel yourself\u00a0falling in love\u00a0with this person, you become more open. You say things that you\u2019d normally keep to yourself, revealing your emotions, feelings and vulnerabilities. You trust this person and have no problem being honest with them. You want to tell them everything, keeping nothing hidden from them.<\/p>\n

They reciprocate, too, trusting you with their soul. This is another one of important\u00a0stages of falling in love.<\/p>\n

You Feel It From Them<\/b><\/p>\n

You know when you just\u00a0feel\u00a0the love from another person? It\u2019s an amazing feeling, and it confirms that you were right to pursue them. The two of you were made for each other. They\u2019re your soul mate and they feel exactly the same as you do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI Love You\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

This is one of the most beautiful\u00a0stages of falling in love. Finally, one of you says those three magic words. It doesn\u2019t matter where they\u2019re said, or even if they\u2019re said via text messages. All that matters is that they\u2019re said, and that you\u2019re both madly in love with one another.<\/p>\n

Do you know other\u00a0stages of falling in love?<\/p>\n

Stay happy!<\/p>\n
