Sadly, some people have never found true love. They are forced to see love through vicarious means: music, films, and romance novels. — With the dawn of online dating muddying the dating waters, finding that special one appears more elusive than ever. A recent online discussion reveals how some women describe being in love; here are some romantic insights.
1. It Cures Insomnia
One observer claims she has insomnia until her boyfriend comes to stay over. “There’s an unmatched level of comfort and warmth with him where I can just completely relax and fall asleep, even when I don’t want to,” explains the woman. “I’ve never had this happen before with any other person.”
2. It Makes You Feel Safe
“Being apart from a person you feel safe with,” asserts another dating observer. “It’s a feeling like no other.” There is nothing wrong with admitting your man makes you feel secure, though one must be careful not to rely on the feeling too much. “And when it ends — ugh — it’s absolute torture for me,” adds the thread member.
3. It Lowers Your Guard
“Lowering all my walls,” says the next poster. “I become a ‘Goofy-Goof.'” I understand what a ‘Goofy-Goof’ is, though I prefer ‘Love Muppet.’ “Why is this so cute and true?” adds another romantic. “I am positively slap happy. He matches my energy every time.” There is hope for all men, hearing this kind of rhetoric.
4. It Suddenly Creeps Up on You
Countless stories of best friends falling in love bring wholesome tears to romance fans everywhere. It takes a real cynic not to find joy in seeing friends become lovers, and this friendship radiates through their family, too.
“When I realized I was in love with my now husband, it was (a) panic because he was one of my closest friends, and I didn’t want to ruin a friendship,” recalls one lady who married her best friend. “When he told me he had a crush on me, that love turned to euphoria and joy.”
5. It Affects Your Musical Taste
“I half-joke that my Spotify knows when I’m falling in love with someone because I play Kacey Musgraves’ “Golden Hour” album on a loop,” reflects another commenter. There is something magical about music radiating your current mood. Musgraves’ popular piano-based hit song makes for a perfect romantic soundtrack.
6. Random Smiles
When you know you have found your soulmate, it has a profound energizing effect. One female poster reveals that it makes her feel “Very silly for smiling out of nowhere and wanting to jump up and down because my partner just makes me so very warm inside that I can’t contain myself.”
This statement must be advertised on billboards, subways, and worldwide. Young girls need to know they can all find this feeling one day, and the right partner is waiting for them somewhere.
7. Colors Become Stronger
One poetic commenter likens finding love to a painting of the brightest colors. “But then love is the frame that brings out the details and the brushstrokes and the play of light, and then the picture is a masterpiece.”
8. True Feminism
Some groups rage against heteronormative roles in a relationship but fail to realize that most women — and nearly all men — value femininity. One woman loves her husband for letting her express it. “I love being able to indulge in my femininity without being made to feel stupid, infantilized, or lesser than,” one commenter declares. “He doesn’t see his contribution as being greater than mine.”
9. It Brings Youthful Feelings
“His hugs will make you feel like you’re a kid, and you just walked in your parent’s house, and you smell your mom’s cooking in the kitchen,” claims someone with a vivid sense of description. “Warmth, safety, and assurance all radiate from him when he looks at you.” We all love that feeling of childhood safety. Maybe those who never had that sense of safety as a kid can experience it this way one day.
10. It Makes You More Caring
Several women explain how having a husband or long-term partner elicits motherly instincts, but not in a weird way. “Like I want to help him make all of his dreams come true and meet all his needs,” says an honest spouse. “And when I’m lying in bed beside him, life just makes sense.”
