15 crazy things you can only do if you’re in love

Nope, not crazy at all to marry someone you can’t actually have a conversation with in the same language. And when your friends are trashing it, you find yourself saying, “Well, anything’s possible when it comes to love!” Oh yeah, you went there.

 

Some of these you swore you’d never do, and some you didn’t even know you could do, and now you’re doing all of ’em. Congrats, you’re in love.

You fly across the country despite your raging fear of flying.

Whether you’re in a long distance relationship or you’re visiting his far-away relatives, no one in the world has been able to convince you to get on a flying coffin before, until him…

You miss a new episode of The Bachelor for date night.

Alone time with your boo is worth the sacrifice…and come on, you did DVR it…you’re not an animal.

Suddenly you’ve become a sports fan even though you never liked sports in your life.

One day you find yourself in the living room, alone, willingly watching some sort of athletic game…you’ve never done this before. But his love of soccer is apparently rubbing off on you.

You agree to take care of his cat while he’s away, even though you can’t stand cats.

No one’s perfect, so you’ve learned to accept his love of creepy felines. Besides the side-eyes, clothes covered in fur, and scratches up and down your arms, Fluffy isn’t so bad.

You refer to him as “babe” or “honey bun” without gagging.

Admit it, though, you know anyone who hears you is totally gagging.

You hear yourself saying things like “I mean, Ryan Gosling isn’t THAT perfect,” because you are just so happy with your match.

Seriously, we’d like to meet this man who’s so amazing he’s convinced you Ryan Gosling isn’t a God.

You relocate to a new city just to be with them.

You’ve lived in this city for years, but when they get a job offer somewhere…else…you willingly (albeit through tears) pack up your stuff and go with them. Now that’s what we call love and devotion.

The plotlines in Love, Actually now seem incredibly romantic and normal—not wildly unrealistic.

Nope, not crazy at all to marry someone you can’t actually have a conversation with in the same language. And when your friends are trashing it, you find yourself saying, “Well, anything’s possible when it comes to love!” Oh yeah, you went there.

You ditch your bachelorette pad to move in with…a BOY!!

It’s probably the scariest decision you’ve ever made, but you do these kinds of things for love. We wouldn’t judge you if you only moved like two blocks away though.

You find yourself listening to really corny love songs…and loving them.

It’s like Taylor Swift knows you.

You entertain his mother for an extra hour when he is stuck at work.

Of course you know she means well, but that’s a full hour of trying to impress her and wondering how long it’ll take her to bring up the possibility of grandkids. You probably wouldn’t do that if you didn’t really want to spend the rest of your life with this man.

You take those really cheesy kissing selfies you swore you’d never take.

Remember when you used to block anyone who posted those on Facebook? Apparently, they aren’t that gross to you anymore. Crazy, right?

You go on an extreme search for that one weird kind of beer he likes (which may or may not take you across state lines).

It is a really great gift idea, but seriously, you have a job, what are you doing?

You willingly set up GPS apps on your phones.

Well, duh! Installing “Find My Friends” allows you to know where the other person is all the time! If you weren’t desperately in love with each other, this would be referred to as stalking.

You stay up nights thinking about them/talking to them/having sex with them.

Sleep is important people! The fact that we occasionally throw it out the window when we’re in love is borderline crazy…and yes, a little romantic.
