About This Quiz

Love. None of us can truly define it, but all of us know when we actually are in the midst of it. Even someone who has never truly been in love gets the fact that it hasn't happened for them yet. You can be with someone that you are totally attracted to, that is compatible in bed, that is funny, smart, kind, financially successful, all of that, but none of that is going to make you love them.

Love is something that just happens, usually when you least expect it, but when it does happen, life is totally amazing.

A big part of how you can tell you are in love is the things that you end up doing. All of a sudden you just want to be with the person all the time, you can never stop talking, you can never stop kissing, you miss them when they're not around, and you dream about them. Even the air feels different when they are around because the sparks are always flying.

What follows is a list of 30 things that sum up what most people that are truly in love do. Do enough of them apply to you to put you in the "truly in love" category? Take this quiz to find out!
