Analysis: Is the feeling between you romantic love or friendship?

What’s the difference between love and friendship? What’s the difference between love and infatuation? What’s the difference between love and liking? The answer lies in the nine unique feelings associated with love.

The first kind of beautiful feeling

As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So when you are in love, you will definitely think that your partner is the most beautiful. Even if there are other people of the opposite sex who are more beautiful than your partner, he or she is the most beautiful one in your heart, and no one else can compare to him or her.

The second kind of affection

When you fall in love with someone, you feel a deep sense of intimacy. Being with them makes you feel comfortable and at ease. You can trust and rely on them. They are like a close family member, perhaps even closer than family, and within this intimacy, you experience a warm and comforting feeling—that’s the feeling of being loved. In this realm of love, they are willing to accept all your flaws.

The third feeling of admiration and respect

A healthy romantic relationship should involve feeling proud of your partner. You should appreciate everything about them, including their inner and outer qualities and strengths, and they should make you feel that they are proud of you in every way. If this feeling exists, you will appreciate their talents regardless of whether they succeed or fail, rather than focusing solely on the outcome.

The fourth feeling of approval

When you’re in love, do you enjoy praising your partner, and not just with admiration or perfunctory praise, but also with telling others about all the good things they do for you when they’re not around, even something as simple as making you a bowl of instant noodles? The important thing is that you derive immense joy from the sincerity of your praise.

The fifth type of respected self-esteem

Romantic relationships can boost a person’s self-esteem and make life feel more meaningful because love allows you to discover that you have unique qualities that no one else can match. Although you have strengths and weaknesses, your uniqueness earns you unparalleled respect, and life becomes more valuable as a result.

The sixth type of possessiveness

Love is absolutely exclusive; it’s an intimate relationship between a man and a woman that cannot be shared with others. Therefore, when love transitions from uncertainty to stability, marriage is needed to sustain it for the rest of our lives. This is why we make vows to each other when we get married. In a real life of love, mutual promises of fidelity are essential.

The seventh freedom of action

If someone has a legitimate reason, their freedom of action must be respected to avoid damaging the romantic relationship. While someone who follows their feelings can be worrying or infuriating, restrictions or constraints are useless for those who love a spontaneous life. It’s better to give them freedom and space. They will always come back.

The eighth feeling of pity

People often feel pity for those they deeply love and frequently consider their feelings for them. If their loved one suffers setbacks, we are very willing to share their pain and frustrations, treating their suffering as our own, or even more so, because in love, we are willing to sacrifice our own interests for the other person.

The ninth physiological sexual impulse

When we develop an interest in or fall in love with someone of the opposite sex, we desire physical contact. In real romantic relationships, this desire is ever-present. Sexual attraction is not merely an act; it also encompasses many other intimate physical contacts, such as holding hands and hugging. This feeling will forever reside in the hearts of lovers.

If you find yourself doing the following recently, then you are currently in a romantic relationship:

1. You enjoy taking a walk with your friend at a party, away from the noise.

2. When you are together, you will pretend to ignore the other person, but when the other person is not around, you will look around anxiously looking for them.

3. Although other people always make you laugh, your eyes and attention are only on one person.

4. Although the other party should have called to tell you that he/she has arrived home safely, your phone remains silent, and then you realize that you are in a state of panic while waiting.

5. You have to hang up the phone because you’re busy at work, but you can’t because you’re talking to him/her.

6. If someone comes to mind when you read this article, then you have definitely fallen in love with him/her.

There’s a saying that goes like this: When a woman is on her deathbed, she will only think of her first man.
