Since the dawn of time, millions of us have asked the question: what is true love? It’s a complex question that draws up a lot of different thoughts and feelings.
What is true love? For some, true love may be when he offers to buy you a bag of chips after a night out. For others, it may be snuggling up with him after a hard day at the office.
We thought it’d be funny to take a look at some of the more tongue-in-cheek ways to tell that you’re head-over-heels for your other half…
_____________________
You know it’s true love when…
You willingly kiss him before he’s brushed his teeth in the morning
You kiss him first thing in the morning: After he’s been out the night before and has morning breath that could actually knock out an elephant. You just lunge yourself at his mouth, have a kiss and don’t worry about the stink. You trooper.
You actually miss the dirty GAA kit thrown in the hall when he’s not around: If he’s gone away for a few days, you genuinely miss the stink and the sight of his filthy sports kit. Sure, you bitch at him to clean it and move it when he is around but when he’s gone? That’s when you miss it most.
You laugh when he farts: You didn’t think it was funny when you first started going out (actually you thought it was gross and disgusting to be perfectly honest) but now his weird bodily noises entertain you. You know you’re completely done for when you start to find his guilty ‘I-just-let-a-massive-fart’ face cute.
You let him watch football instead of Girls: You don’t necessarily like football but he was so upset when you informed him that the season finale of Girls was on at the same time that you gave in and recorded it so he could watch the match. You officially have Saint status waiting for you on the other side.
You have inside jokes. Lots of inside jokes: You have so many inside jokes together that your friends have no idea what the two of you are talking about half the time. You get upset when you make a reference to an inside joke when he’s not around and no one gets it. Sigh.
You just get that warm, fuzzy feeling deep down every time you’re with him
He makes you smile, even when he’s being an idiot: Even though he’s actually annoying the crap out of you right now, you can’t help but smile at him (despite the fact that you’re getting angrier and angrier the more he pesters you).
You willingly sit through a hurling match in the middle of winter: For whatever reason he wanted you to be there and, because it was important to him, you agreed. Again, Saint status!
You look after him when he’s sick: Before the thoughts of having to mop up someone else’s snot and/or vomit used to make you physically ill however when he’s in a poor state, you happily provide him with tissues and hold the basin for him when he starts getting nauseous.
You’re still attracted to him: Even though he’s gotten older, has put on a few pounds and isn’t exactly ageing well, you still think he’s the hottest thing on two legs. Your friends would probably disagree with you but you can’t help it, in your eyes he’s a hottie.
You get that feeling: You know the one we’re talking about – that warm little fuzzy feeling in the pit of your tummy every time he hugs you, smooches you or refers to you as his other half. D’aww!
