relationship comes our way</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, how do we know it’s love?</span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Navigating love and dating is tough. Luckily, your </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">heart</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and soul are always trying to show you what you need. They communicate these messages through your instincts and gut feelings, which at times can be all too easily ignored— both accidentally and by choice. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s time to wake up and listen to what your soul has been trying to tell you. Is what you’re feeling real, or is it something else?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s how to know if it’s </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">love</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></i></p> <h4> 1. You’re infatuated with potential.</h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Love</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> can make humans all sorts of blind. Especially when forcing things to work becomes an unconscious effort, despite the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">relationship</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> never feeling right to begin with. The imagination is a powerful thing, and when we let it run wild with </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">what could be,</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> our </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">heart</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> falls in </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">love</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with potential. Choose to be honest with yourself. Look at the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">relationship</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for exactly what it is.</span></p> <h4>2. The time you spend with them is draining.</h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you leave your partner feeling worse than you did before? Surrounding ourselves with people not meant for us drains our emotional and mental resources. Time spent with your perfect partner should replenish your soul. Being with the right person doesn’t feel like work. It feels like breathing.</span></p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-512 size-full" src="http://jayshettygenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/isnt-love-03.jpg" alt="A couple chats in a corner booth." width="1200" height="626" srcset="https://jayshettygenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/isnt-love-03.jpg 1200w, https://jayshettygenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/isnt-love-03-1024x534.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p> <h4>3. Your brain keeps dodging the red flags.</h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Red flags are warning signs designed to protect us from a broken </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">heart</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. And we can be bad at recognizing them, even when they’re standing right in front of us. When the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">relationship</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> presents itself truthfully— believe it the first time.</span></p> <h4>4. Close friends and family aren’t on board.</h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While it’s not wise to always care about the opinions of onlookers, asking those who </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">love</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> you most for a new perspective can bring you new clarity. It’s noteworthy if everyone in your life disagrees with your </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">relationship</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Their eyes can see things yours can’t. Get a fresh perspective. Ask them why. Listen.</span></p> <h4>5. You like them, but you don’t love them.</h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you’re with the wrong person, things just don’t feel right. There’s no good way to explain this feeling, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">but you just know</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. And what’s more, there doesn’t have to be anything objectively wrong in the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">relationship</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for things to seem disconnected. You can have feelings of </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">love</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for someone without being in </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">love</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with them. There’s a difference. Learning to recognize these things will help protect your </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">heart</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">hearts</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of potential partners.</span></p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-513 size-full lazyload" data-src="http://jayshettygenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/isnt-love-02.jpg" alt="A couple chats over coffee." width="1200" height="626" data-srcset="https://jayshettygenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/isnt-love-02.jpg 1200w, https://jayshettygenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/isnt-love-02-1024x534.jpg 1024w" data-sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" style="--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px;
