7 ways to know that your love is real, according to psychologists

You’ve been dating for a while now, and things are going very well between you and your partner: the two of you communicate and enjoy each other’s company, and you definitely have feelings for each other.

But if you’re wondering if your love is real or maybe it’s just chemistry, read on for 7 tips to help you decide:

1. You feel at home

True love does not make you feel anxious, doubt your worth, or doubt the nature of your relationship with your partner.

Instead, you feel secure in your feelings and respect for each other.

When you are together, you feel this cozy, warm blanket of security that will be with you anytime, anywhere.

Communication with your partner doesn’t feel forced or something you need to mentally prepare for.

On the contrary, it seems like the only thing you want to do after a long day at work or stressful time with your family.

2. You are comfortable being yourself.

Feeling at home with your partner means being able to relax and be yourself, no masks required.

You don’t filter your thoughts and feelings out of fear of being judged. You know that you are accepted for who you are. And vice versa.

One sure way to know that this is true is if you both feel completely okay with showing each other your true, vulnerable selves.

When you’re caught up in the excitement of falling in love, it’s all too easy to put on your best, most flawless self, hiding any flaws.

But if it’s true love, you don’t mind being seen when you’re not at your best—whether you’re low on energy, having one of those tough days, or just need to let off some steam.

In a real relationship, both partners accept each other, on good days and bad.

3. You are not interested in other people

Another clear hint that you’ve hit the real love jackpot? You are simply not interested in looking for someone else.

Why worry? You have everything you need: emotional connection, deep conversations and a physical spark. No wandering eyes because you are completely satisfied.

4. You’re willing to put in the extra effort.

Going the extra mile really means true love in a relationship.

Commitment to a relationship requires both effort and time, and manifests itself in different ways.

Whether it’s spending time with each other, being there for each other during difficult times, or even changing personal habits that aren’t conducive to a healthy relationship, it all makes a difference.

5. You feel inspired

When your partner continues to inspire you—perhaps pushing you to try a new hobby or encouraging you to take a language course—it’s a sure sign of genuine love.

Couples who truly love naturally bring out the best in each other.

But wait, there’s more.

You will also notice that you show a genuine interest in your partner, eager to hear his views on things and absorb a fresh perspective. When you are in a true love relationship, you feel like you are living in a world of endless fascination and excitement where you are both constantly intrigued and inspired by each other.

6. You think long term.

When you’re truly in love, it’s natural to start thinking about the long-term path.

I’m not talking about obsessing over your future with someone you just met – that’s definitely not what I mean. What I mean is, when you spend a lot of time together, you communicate and meet each other’s needs. In such cases, chances are you both share a similar vision for the future and see yourself in it together.

Making important decisions together, such as moving, planning a vacation, or even getting a pet, is a clear sign of long-term commitment. This shows that you are both interested in building a future together and a life that includes each other.

7. You are grateful to have this person in your life.

When you’re in a relationship, it’s not just about being head over heels in love with your partner; it’s much deeper. You are truly grateful to have this person around and are constantly amazed at how wonderful they are.

Do you take them for granted? No! You want to show them your love and appreciation.

Whether you leave sweet love notes, plan surprise dates, or just straight up tell them how awesome they are, you always find ways to make your partner feel special.

***

Remember: recognizing the signs of true love is not just about recognizing grand gestures. It’s about feeling that deep connection, seeing things that matter, and being each other’s biggest fans.

Love manifests itself in different ways. Trust these signs, follow your intuition and know that true love is not just a fairy tale, it is waiting for you to find it.
