Falling in love - how it feels and how to know if it's reciprocated<\/h1><\/div>

Falling in love is a big word - and a feeling that can trigger so much at once. For some, it feels like floating on a pink cloud. For others, it feels confusing, vulnerable or even painful. Maybe you can't quite figure out what you're feeling or how to put it into words. And that's perfectly normal. You don't have to be on top of everything to take your feelings seriously.<\/p>\n

I headspace er vi altid klar til at tale med dig om det, der er sv\u00e6rt \u2013 ogs\u00e5 n\u00e5r det handler om forelskelse. M\u00e5ske er du i tvivl, om du overhovedet er forelsket, for hvad er forelskelse egentlig? Eller m\u00e5ske har du k\u00e6restesorger,<\/a><\/strong> er blevet afvist, har givet en afvisning \u2013 eller st\u00e5r et helt andet sted. I denne artikel f\u00e5r du r\u00e5d til at forst\u00e5 f\u00f8lelsen og blive klogere p\u00e5, hvad du m\u00e6rker.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What does it mean to be in love<\/h2><\/div>

Falling in love can feel like a euphoria of emotions. When the feeling is reciprocated, you can experience joy,
\nLightness and a feeling that everything is getting a little more exciting. But falling in love can also hurt, especially if you don't know if the other person feels the same way - or if you get rejected.<\/p>\n

A classic sign is that the other person is very much on your mind. Falling in love can be understood both
\nf\u00f8lelsesm\u00e6ssigt og biologisk. F\u00f8lelsesm\u00e6ssigt kan du opleve en st\u00e6rk gl\u00e6de, n\u00e5r personen dukker op i dit hoved, og m\u00e5ske bliver du mere distr\u00e6t, f\u00e5r sv\u00e6rt ved at koncentrere dig eller ligger v\u00e5gen, fordi tankerne k\u00f8rer. Biologisk set handler forelskelse om hjernens kemi, og hvordan kroppen reagerer i form af bl.a. r\u00f8dmen, svedige h\u00e6nder, hjertebanken og de s\u00e5kaldte \u201csommerfugle i maven\u201d. Det er ikke noget, du bare kan styre \u2013 det er nervesystemet, der reagerer, n\u00e5r f\u00f8lelserne er intense. Og det er der ikke noget forkert i.<\/p>\n

Falling in love is a combination of thoughts, feelings and bodily reactions that occur simultaneously. And sometimes it can be hard to figure out what you're really feeling, why you're feeling it and to whom.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Typical signs that you are in love<\/h2><\/div>

Forelskelse er ikke en test, du kan best\u00e5 eller dumpe. Nogle m\u00e6rker det som et brag, andre som en langsom varme. Du kan v\u00e6re forelsket uden at opleve alle \u201cklassiske tegn\u201d, og du kan opleve mange tegn uden at det n\u00f8dvendigvis er forelskelse. F\u00f8lelser f\u00f8lger ikke regler \u2013 de opst\u00e5r i det, du er i, og det du har med dig.<\/p>\n

When you're in love, the relationship can bring a certain anticipation and excitement. You may crave contact and closeness, and you notice little signs of romantic chemistry. A message can feel like a little kick. You may also find that you become more concerned about when you'll see each other again, what the other person is thinking and how he\/she is feeling.<\/p>\n

The other person can come to occupy a lot of your thoughts - almost as if your world takes on a new center. It can feel wonderful and intense, but also overwhelming. Many people also feel infatuation in their body before their mind: nervousness, anxiety, high energy or racing thoughts. Sleep and appetite may change because the body is \u201con overtime\u201d. Nervousness can be a mixture of joy, excitement and uncertainty - and this is completely normal.<\/p>\n<\/div>

When you are secretly in love<\/h2><\/div>

Being in love can be vulnerable, especially if you don't know if the feelings are reciprocated. You may feel insecure, shy or afraid of rejection. You may also be nervous about the other person's reaction and therefore hide your feelings. These can be signs that you are Secretly in love<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You don't always decide who you fall in love with. A crush can happen without you planning it. If you carry the feeling alone for a long time, it can grow bigger in your head, making it even harder to figure out what to do.<\/p>\n

There's no one right way to go about it, but putting your feelings into words when you feel ready can help. You can start small by showing interest, seeking more contact or saying something simple and honest. Sometimes it's also helpful to say it out loud to a friend first. Sharing it can give you peace of mind - and you can get support on how to handle the situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Signs that you are not in love<\/h2><\/div>

It's perfectly normal to have doubts about whether what you're feeling is love. If you don't feel the desire for physical or emotional closeness, it can mean several things. Sometimes you're fascinated by a person without your body and emotions following. Other times, the feeling is more of interest, admiration or curiosity - and that's not wrong. It could also be that you're really looking for a close friendship and not a romantic relationship.<\/p>\n

Maybe you think more about the idea of being in love than the person themselves. For example:<\/p>\n
