You’re not interested in dating other people
Being in love is like being blind or having eyes only for your partner. According to Allison, when you’re freshly in love, you no longer feel the need to have other backup crushes, because you’re so confident that this one will be enough.
Especially if you were used to going on a lot of dates, and meeting new people before meeting your partner, noticing that you no longer feel the need to date other people is a good indicator that love is in your air.
