Are you falling in love? Or already in love? Or rather, are you experiencing the feeling of loooovvveee? You don't know? Here's how you know:

1. The heart of yours beats so quickly and hands feel so clammy just thinking about the person. Just thinking. Upon seeing the person, the degree of your heartbeats and clammy hands go up one notch higher. You feel as though your blood might just rush through your veins and shoot out of some spouts on your body.

2. Smiling to yourself while thinking about the person, or even not thinking about the other person is normal. You find yourself on cloud nine practically most of the time. Even in frazzled situations, you find yourself cooling down much quicker than usual. The feelings of "it's easy to conquer the world!" are so familiar when you're in love.

3. You're on the telephone most of the time with your new found sweetheart, or if that has not materialized yet, you find yourself checking the phone or mobile about a hundred-and-one times a day to see if s/he has called, or text messaged you. Or if you have missed a call from him or her. If not, you're wondering, "Should I call, should I not? Should, or shouldn't?"

4. Everywhere you go and everything you do, you're thinking of the person - what you could do for him or her, where to bring him or her, and of course, the third point above is relevant too, whether or not to text or call him or her! Your head just swoons with thoughts of your sweetheart!

5. You're consulting other people on what you should or shouldn't do for your new found love. You hesitate before doing anything to think twice, thrice or even more, about whether s/he would like and appreciate what you're doing. It's the MANY first-impressions that count right? Unless it's a love that's real, there's going to be MANY first-impressions that is going to have to count!

6. Blindness of the heart and occassionally, confusion of the mind, invades your life. You become blind to many other things surrounding you, except for the beauty and wonder of your new love. When you realize or someone else makes you realize the realities of life, you become confused as to how you're functioning with this new found love.

These sound familiar? I think you're in seventh heaven from the feelings of falling in love.
