What are the signs of someone falling in love with you? In movies true love is easy to identify, because the lovers inevitably kiss in the rain, serenade each other, or proclaim their true feelings in fits of uncontrollable passion. In the real world even though the signs of falling in love are subtler, they are just as easy to identify. If you know them, finding love becomes easier, because you can recognize more quickly that someone has fallen for you..

You know someone is in love with you when they do not want to go out with anyone but you. To them there are two kinds of members of the opposite sex:: you and all the rest. If they cannot stand the thought of being with anyone else, even their ex, that is a good sign they are in love with you.

Another telltale sign is when they want to know everything about you. They are genuinely interested in your job, your family, and your goals in life. They may call you all the time just to talk or just because they miss you.

The next sign is that they care about your well-being and they want you to be happy, successful, and financially secure. They hate to hear anyone say bad things about you and they worry if you put yourself in danger.

They smile all the time when they are with you. A good sign love has taken hold is when even your quirks and bad habits are endearing to them.

One of the biggest clues they have fallen for you is when they are willing to sacrifice for you. This may mean little sacrifices such as going to your favorite restaurant even when they do not like it. They may be willing to move away from friends and family to be with you. More important than the size of the sacrifice is the willingness, at least sometimes, to put your needs before their own.

The biggest sign that someone is in love with you is when their future plans include you. If they think in terms of forever, they are in love with you. If they do not, they are only infatuated, but they may fall in love with you later. However, if they want to be with you for the rest of their lives, there is a good chance that you have found the one.
