Ah love! The phase where the world looks different, you feel different and everything looks colorful. When it's spring and the flowers are in full bloom, you can't help but feel romantic. Soon, you will find that one special person who becomes the focus of your romantic energy. She/he becomes the one person who makes your world go round. Is it love?

There are simple signs that will help you judge whether you're in love or simply fantasizing, starting with eating habits. When you can barely contain your excitement so much that you cannot eat a morsel of food, it is a sure shot sign that something is fishy. That special person is suddenly more important than food.

If your forget to take your meals and appear distracted at all times, it may be a sign of a developing crush, though not full fledged love. However, loss of appetite is something to take notice of.

The next sign that you may have fallen for the person is a feverish focus on your looks. You were concerned about that blemish earlier, but now it becomes a national problem. It just has to go. You wake up in the morning and realize you want to wear what impresses your crush and not what your were always comfortable in. That is something to think about as a possible sign of love.

If you're blumbering and messing up your grammar in the person's presence, it's a crush. But if you catch yourself smiling a lot for no apparent reason, she/he obviously makes you happy and those around you are bound to notice a smile on your face even after the person has left. There is love in the air for sure.

Ok, so you cannot concentrate on your work. You want to obsess over what your crush is doing right that minute, what they like and what they think about you. You even get jealous for seemingly silly reasons and feel tremendously protective of the person. It may be a crush, but if you catch yourself missing the person when she/he is not around and feel the day is incomplete, then cupid's arrow has struck.

One very sure shot sign that you have fallen in love is your sudden focus on your living space, anticipating the person's visit. Dreaming about making a life together and picturing your future kids is a definite sign that you've fallen, and how.
