In your relationships, it helps to know whether you’re in lust or in love and to make your relationship decisions accordingly. For instance, it might not be ideal to move in with someone when you’re still in lust and pretty much all you’re doing is sleeping together!
In the interest of safety, look out for these warning signs when you’re attracted to someone. Relationships should be comfortable, invigorating and fun. When they’re not, it’s a sign that maybe you should move on.
