Believe it or not (and some of you won’t), love at first sight is real. When you think you’ve fallen in love with someone at first sight, that’s amazing, but it’s also not the only thing you should trust.

Falling in love is a serious decision that requires a lot of internal analysis. This moment of infatuation makes you feel like the other person was made just for you, but that doesn’t stop you from sitting down and having some serious conversations with yourself about whether or not what you’re feeling is right.

Here are five questions to ask if you think you’re in love at first sight:

1- Is this passion just a physical attraction?

This might be the easiest question to answer, but it’s still extremely important. Physical attraction is normal, especially between strangers and new partners, so it’s best to sit down and understand if all this passion is just a momentary physical attraction.

If you think you’re in love at first sight, make sure it’s not just the other person’s body you want. Love and physical attraction are two completely opposite things!

2. Has this happened before?

Are you the type of person who always falls in love? If so, it may be that this feeling you are feeling right now is just a passing thing. So if you’ve been in this exact situation before, think twice if you’re really in love and maybe give it a little more time before you jump right into this relationship!

3. Am I willing to accept that I can’t see the other person’s faults yet?

While I believe it’s entirely possible to fall in love at first sight, I don’t believe it’s possible to see a partner’s flaws in such a short amount of time. Getting to know your partner and all the things he does, as well as the things he doesn’t, can only be done with time.

This doesn’t mean you should give up on that love, but it does mean you should go in with both eyes open, ready to find out things about them that maybe you weren’t expecting to find out.

4. Do our values match?

A relationship is not built alone. It’s built on trust, communication and respect from both parties. One of the most important building blocks for a relationship is the values our partner has. Do theirs line up with ours?

Make sure you and your loved one have similar values. This will help you ensure a strong and healthy relationship in the future.

5. How does he/she feel about me?

So, you are in love. Nice! But how does he/she feel about you? While you may not think this is important at first (as you can own up to their feelings if it’s not the same as yours), it will be very necessary for both parties to be on the same page if they want a healthy relationship.

If you are wild, madly, deeply in love with him/her and he/she is lukewarm towards you, not only will your resentment grow, but so will the distance between you. Ideally, both partners should be on the same page for the relationship to naturally flourish.
