When we fall in love, we go through all sorts of changes, mental as well as physical. Our gut becomes populated with butterflies, our pupils dilate and all we want is that person. The one who turned our world upside down. In the best possible way.
But are you actually falling in love or is it just a crush? There are a few clear signs that what you feel is really love.
1. You feel high
