The heart wants what it wants

        Don’t let your heart drive or you’ll have a love crash. Crushing is a common phase for most people, and some of them don’t know how to act upon it.

        For those who are not familiar with the actual definition of a “crush,” well lucky you because I’m going to tell you. A crush is a person who steals your heart and crushes it. That person crushes your heart because they are too blind to see how interested you are towards them. All of your efforts or signs get ignored and it fruh-strates-you! That’s why I wrote this article to give you a few hints on what to expect while crushing. Even if you are starting to feel love, this article is for you.

I’m no expert on love, but I’m glad to help on the few things I do know; A few things that you physically experience when you are in love or even like someone that are easy to catch. Some physical changes are sleeplessness and loss of appetite (which can also be called “lovesickness”). Lovesickness is the stress hormone contracting the blood vessels in your stomach.

Some other common physical changes are trembling, racing heart, accelerated breathing, anxiety and panic attacks. When going through a hard situation with a loved one, you have feelings of despair. Last but not least, when you’re in love with someone your pupils will dilate when you look at them.

When you really like or love someone you might want to be with them every second of your day. Making time for each other really shows how interested you truly are. Showing you care for each others’ happiness and health is a really huge sign your crush or significant other is loving you back. Standing close to each other is another sign. Most people believe that if your crush touches their elbow when interacting with you, it could mean they like you.  

Smiles! Smiles are always a good thing. When you smile at someone, it’s obvious that you like them. With your crush, it can’t be any different. Speaking of smiles, humor is a very heart warming thing. If your crush laughs at your silly jokes, then it’s most likely that you are the apple of their eye.

Some people like being straightforward and some people like keeping it a secret. Being straight forward can have advantages and disadvantages. Some disadvantages are rejection or getting laughed at. Some advantages are that the person confesses their love for you. Being straightforward can be a pathway to happiness; but, be careful or you’ll experience some heartbreaks.  

Hopefully you take these tips into consideration. Let your heart lead you to love and not irrevocable blunders.
