1. The emergence of feelings! Falling in love occurs at the moment when a person acquires a very special meaning. It doesn't matter if you knew him for many years or met just a few hours ago! All thoughts are now focused on this person.
2. Obsessive thoughts! The first obsessive thoughts about love and being in love creep in... You scroll through the dialogues in your head over and over again, remember how this person was dressed that evening, or admire this smile.
3. Attraction! When a clear idea of the object of love is formed, you begin to pull even more towards it, you feel both hope and uncertainty, hoping to start a relationship with him or her.
4. Jealousy and motivation to take action! The desire to win the favor of this person grows in you….
5. Helplessness? Perhaps at some point these strong feelings will be replaced by a feeling of complete helplessness. At first it may be despair, but gradually the obsessive desires will begin to weaken.
You probably still really want to build a relationship with this person, but you already understand that this is not necessarily destined to happen. Your ability to think logically and act pragmatically returns.
