Are you falling in love? Have you ever wondered why it’s called falling in love?

If you like to take risks and enjoy skydiving, the thrill of falling for as long as possible may give you a huge rush.

On the other hand, the idea of falling through the sky might be terrifying. You can open your parachute when you get close to the ground, but there’s still a fear of the unknown. What if you fall to your death?

Now compare this to falling in love. You don’t have to take that leap of faith and jump, but then you’ll never experience the excitement of love. If you do decide to jump, it’ll be scary, and you’ll feel completely out of control. But the end result will be worth the risk.

Five Signs You are Falling in Love

1. Fear

You’re afraid of what will happen. The future is unknown. Falling in love is scary, sudden, and uncontrollable. You’re in a vulnerable state as you fall. A healthier way to deal with this is to embrace it and allow yourself to enjoy having no control over your feelings.

2. Nervousness

You can’t sleep. You can’t eat. There’s this constant nervous energy that’s emanating from your pores. You want to be the best version of yourself, but you also don’t want to come across as fake. Should you be mysterious or reveal your true nature right away? You’re anxious about everything.

3. Curiosity

You want to know every detail about this amazing person. You won’t allow yourself to fall in love with someone unworthy, so you study them and ask questions and pay close attention to what they say and do. If this is a potential life partner, you want to do all the detective work before giving your heart away.

4. Sense of Adventure

Falling in love makes you more open to new experiences. Your wild side will pop up because you want to appear to be an adventurous, daring individual. You may suggest creative date ideas that even surprise you, and your hope is that this sense of adventure will be an attractive trait.

5. Horniness

Sex is always on your mind as you fall in love. You crave intimacy and affection, and your five senses buzz with electricity every time you fantasize about this person. Testosterone, dopamine, and oxytocin levels go up, creating lust and attraction and a constant state of horniness.

Everyone goes through different emotions when they fall in love. You could experience all of the above and more, or you might have put up an emotional wall to avoid feeling anything.

Love is risky. As long as you take that step and allow yourself to tumble and fall, you’ll experience the magic of being in love.
