The Feeling of Truly Liking Someone
In a lifetime, everyone experiences many heart-pounding moments.
It could be seeing something that perfectly suits your taste and feeling ecstatic, or tasting a delicious meal that makes you want to sing its praises, or meeting someone you really like, making your heart uncontrollable.
Admit it, whether it’s a man or a woman, when we see something that fits our aesthetic or seems to be our type, we can’t help but want to take a closer look, and unconsciously, our hearts start racing.
Beautiful things and people who are appealing are liked by everyone, but too many heart-pounding moments are just fleeting. They pass and we don’t dwell on them for too long, nor do we constantly miss them.
That kind of liking counts as liking, but mostly, it’s just a passing fancy, a chance encounter, and nothing real.
Perhaps in life, we will have many such heart-pounding moments, but truly liking someone is not that simple.
Curiosity, Always Wanting to Know Everything About the Other Person
If we don’t have an ounce of curiosity about someone, not wanting to know about their past or what they’re going through every day, then that person is just a passerby in our lives.
We have limited energy, and for someone who isn’t relevant to us, we just can’t be bothered. The more we care about someone, the more we will be concerned about them.
When we truly like someone, we don’t have to remind ourselves. Naturally, we will keep paying attention to everything about them.
We’ll go through all their social media posts, repeatedly search for information about them online, ask people around them about them, and when chatting with them, we’ll casually ask about many things. Anything related to them, even what they had for lunch or what time they went to bed, we don’t want to miss it.
We feel uneasy when we don’t know their news. We always need to hear from them to feel at ease. And whenever we hear from them, inexplicably, we feel very satisfied.
Love Leads to Overthinking and Being Easily Influenced by the Other Person
Even the most rational person, once they have genuine feelings, will completely change their demeanor.
Even though we know we’re pretty good, we still worry about what’s not good enough and whether the other person will like us. Even after carefully considering every message we send, we still fear saying something wrong.
In their presence, we no longer exude the extreme confidence we usually have, and we become unsure, like a helpless child.
A single sentence from them, even if it doesn’t mean anything, can make us ponder for a long time. If something happens to them, even if it’s something minor, we can get stuck in it for a long time.
Because of them, we sometimes feel happy and sometimes feel extremely distressed.
No one else has had such an impact on our emotions. Since liking that person, we are still ourselves, but we have also started to care more about the other person than ourselves.
Often Longing, Desiring to Be Together
If one day, when we meet someone, we feel quite fond of them at first, but later that liking fades, and we don’t think about them and don’t feel the urge to be with them, then it’s okay. That kind of liking isn’t important.
But if after meeting someone, every day, we think of them countless times and constantly want to see them, then it’s not so easy.
When we truly like someone, when that liking is so deep and genuine, we just can’t ignore the other person’s existence, and we don’t want to give them up for anyone else.
Our thoughts of them will always be with us. Even if nothing has happened between us, in our minds, we have already imagined our future together, what our marriage will be like, what our children’s names will be, and growing old together.
They might be very ordinary, and that’s how others see them, but in our eyes, they are special.
In a crowd of many people, we only want to look at them and can only see them. No one else matters.
The feeling of truly liking someone is having a strong curiosity about them, having our emotions fluctuate with them, having uncontrollable longings, and always wanting to be by their side.
Since we started liking them, our hearts have become very content. At the same time, our hearts have become very greedy. No matter how many times we look at them and how long we spend with them, we still feel it’s not enough.
Every day with them seems so bright, and every moment spent with them feels so vibrant.
Despite having a hundred reasons not to continue, our hearts still race towards them.
We want to have a sweet romance with them and carry this liking to the end.
