Have you ever thought you were in love with someone . . . then realized you'd only known them a week, so maybe it WASN'T love? Someone talked to a relationship therapist, who came up with nine signs it's LUST, not love.Â
Â
Here's the list . . .
Â
1. You're obsessed. You're constantly thinking about them, replaying moments, and imagining different scenarios.
Â
2. You want to be around them all the time. No matter how much you're with them, it's not enough.
Â
3. You think they're perfect. You can't think of any flaws they have.
Â
4. You don't really know them that well. If you just met, it's not love. It's lust.
Â
5. The sexual attraction is super strong. That alone doesn't necessarily mean it's just lust. But there's a pretty good chance, especially if you haven't been together very long.
Â
6. Your outlook is clouded. You like them a lot, but you're not sure why exactly.
Â
7. You feel like you're trying to "catch" them. Or like it's a game you're trying to win. That one can apply whether you're dating someone, or just WANT to date them.
Â
8. You don't feel accepted, or you aren't really being yourself around them. If you're afraid to let them see the true you, it's not love yet.
Â
9. It's all about you. Meaning you're still not willing to sacrifice, or put their needs ahead of yours sometimes. Until then, it's lust, not love.
