Here are ten indicators (in no particular order) that you might have caught the love fever:
1. You can talk to the person from sunset to sunrise. Whether you are just staring at each other or discussing the Arab Spring or the West Philippine Sea issue or complaining about how your day went, if you can converse with a person without a single moment of boredom, you might be in love.
2. You can kiss the person. A friend of mine dated his bestfriend for a couple of months but they did not end up together. In fact, they did not even kiss. It is simply because there are people that you will never kiss (romantically) . The operative term is "can" and not "may."

3. You want to hug the person. Hugs are free but not all hugs give the same effect. There will always be that person whose hugs can wipe away your weariness and crush all your fears. If you feel that with someone, you might be in love.
4. You can sit beside the person, and feel happy. You might be sitting in front of the TV, under a tree, in front of your Skype screen, or anywhere. Just the same, there is a feeling of contentment and of being home. You are not talking, just sitting there, doing nothing at all.
5. You think the person is funny, no matter how corny he or she really is. You just laugh at every joke he or she cracks. You laugh not necessarily on the outside but also in the inside. You are laughing because of the effort the person places in trying to make you laugh or smile.
6. You are fond of just staring at person. You just stare at him or her and see the whole world.
7. You think of the person and then you start to smile. The thought of him or her makes you smile just like that. You might be taking a serious exam or coming to work or to school and the thought of the person just flashes to you. Then you begin to smile and sometimes, even giggle.
8. You see the person as the most beautiful creation in the world. The person might be dark or fair; tall or short. His or her tooth might be chipped. In short, the person might not be physically perfect but you have looked beyond the imperfections and you have seen in him or her, the most beautiful soul ever.
9. You want to introduce the person to everyone important to you. You cannot stop talking about him or her. You are proud of the person. You are proud of your togetherness; of the partnership you two have created.
10. You are accidentally talking about something which is in the near future. Anything which places your future selves together be it the school you want to go to, the place you want to settle in, the number of kids, etc. indicates the desire for a long term relationship. Then it might be true love.
When you fall in love, it
is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And
when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether
your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you
should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it
is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is
not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body.
No... don't blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in
love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is
left over, when being in love has burned away... -Iannis, Captain Corelli's Mandolin
