사랑이 무엇인가요?
나는 사랑에 빠졌나요?
Love doesn't come with a clear definition or a checklist, and honestly, that's part of what makes it confusing.
Only you can know if you are truly in love, but one thing is non-negotiable: there is no love if the feelings aren't mutual.
That said, there are some common signs: you think about them more than you'd like to admit, you feel genuinely happy when they're around, and you feel safe being yourself with them.
If you're not sure, that's normal. Sometimes talking it through with a friend you trust can help you figure out what you're actually feeling.
사랑의 감정과 감동을 탐구하기
When you're falling for someone, you might notice some of these feelings:
- 행복과 만족 ko: 행복과 만족 It's not just grinning like an idiot. It's a quiet calm. You wake up and reality finally feels better than dreaming.
- 설렘과 나비들 This is the classic sign. You see their name pop up on your phone and your stomach does a flip before you even read the text.
- 그리움과 욕구 When they leave, the room feels emptier. You find yourself saving up stupid little stories to tell them later just to keep the connection going.
- 보안 및 안전: This is the big one. The nervous butterflies eventually settle down, and you're left with a feeling of safety. Like you can finally exhale.
- 보호심 You want them to be okay. If they've had a bad day, you instinctively want to fix it or fight whoever made them upset.
- 연민과 관용 You actually listen. You care about their weird hobbies or their work drama just because it matters to them.
- 질투와 소유욕 Let's be real. Sometimes a little jealousy pops up. It's not great, but it happens. It usually just means you're afraid of losing something good, though you need to keep an eye on this one.
Everyone experiences love a little differently. What matters most is that the feelings are mutual and that you're both communicating openly about what you need.
그는 나를 사랑하는가? 사랑은 상호적인가?
Real love goes both ways. The best way to find out if someone feels the same is simple but scary: talk to them about it. And watch what they do, not just what they say. If they're making effort and showing up consistently, that usually tells you more than words.
Don't panic if they aren't writing you sonnets every day. Everyone shows up differently. Some people say "I love you" with big speeches, while others say it by filling up your gas tank or remembering exactly how you take your coffee. Just because someone is reserved doesn't mean they aren't all in. You have to look at what they do, not just what they say.
Stop guessing. Seriously. If you are obsessing over a vague text or wondering where you stand, just ask them. It is scary, but it is better than driving yourself crazy with assumptions. Real relationships survive awkward conversations. If you have doubts, put them on the table so you can actually deal with them instead of letting the anxiety rot the connection.
