So you're catching feelings, and you're wondering where they're at. We've all been there — playing the "they love me, they love me not" game. In an ideal world, they'll just come out with it. But we all know how risky it feels to put yourself out there. So, if you're a smitten kitten but aren't quite ready to offer your own ILY until you have a better handle on your partner's feelings, look for some of these signs that they could be falling in love, too.
They Hang on to Your Every Word
Check out their body language. If they can't take their eyes off of you and pay attention to your every word and action, it's a good sign they can't get enough of you and want to know everything about you.
They Want to Spend ALL the Time With You
Do they seem sad when you have to spend time apart? Are they looking for more ways to spend ALL the time with you, not just sometimes? Is saying goodbye in the morning before work more like they're leaving for an extended around-the-world trip without you? Yep. These are all signs that love is in the air.

They Tell Everyone About You
At the start of your relationship, they may not have mentioned you to the important people in their lives quite as much. But now? They've told everyone about you. In fact, every time you meet one of their friends or family, they tell you, "Oh! I've heard so much about you!" When you start hearing this from people more and more, it's a great sign.
They Get in Touch Often
If they are away from you, do they touch base — like all the time? If they send sweet texts or private messages multiple times a day, actually dial their phone for a voice convo, FaceTime you whenever they have a minute (and sometimes even when they don't), share every moment of their day in their snaps to you, and bring you little gifts just because they thought of you while you were apart, they're letting you know how important you are in their life.
They're the First to Show Up for the Hard Stuff
When something goes wrong — such as you're feeling sick or you had a bad day at work, do they drop everything and rush to your side? When they are the first person to show up for you when something difficult happens, it's because they care about you and want to make things better.
Is It Love or Something Else?
There's nothing more exciting than the heady feeling of falling in love and knowing they're right in it with you. And even before they utter those three big words, there are lots of signs that you are their person. So if you haven't heard "I love you" yet but you're noticing these signs, don't be surprised if their expressions of love follow shortly.
