As Love becomes a complex feeling sometimes for an individual when they think he/she is in love, people tend to show their love in different ways. It can be hard at times to know if someone loves you or not, especially when they are quite shy about expressing themselves.

There can be several reasons why a person may hold back to his/her feelings, maybe a traumatic past experience or not being able to open up. Some common signs to know that a person is in love with you:

• The Way They Look at You : Having eye contact is one of the signs that someone is falling in love with you. Psychologists have studies this & they say that this is a nonverbal sign that can mean a lot & reveal deeper feelings from your partner. When one catches their partner glancing at them, it means that their partner likes spending time with them. They are happy around you.
• Taking Care of You : If one’s partner come to take care of them when they get to know that they are ill or are feeling low, is a great sign that shows their love for you. If they ask if you need anything, its a way of showing how much they love you.
• Respecting Personal Space : If you need some space, they ensure that you get it. A partner should be able to listen & understand when you need space. S/he needs to respect that.
