Being in love can soften anybody’s heart, no matter how much of a ‘hard’ guy/ babe you think you are. You find yourself crying while watching romantic movies and you start listening to John Legend and Celine Dion, even though you used to listen to gangster rap and hard rock before.
Which of these things have you ever done while in love?
Planning your life with your partner, together
You often find yourself dreaming and fantasizing about spending the rest of your life with this person. You plan your wedding location, the names of your children, the number of rooms in your apartment and everything in your head. Even when you’re planning and making certain decisions about your life, you find a way to work them into each situation.
Making huge sacrifices to be with them
You don’t mind getting an Uber, riding in two danfo buses and jumping on three bikes to visit this person on the outskirts of Lagos. It doesn’t even matter that there’s Coronavirus in town. You’re willing to defy social distancing guidelines to be with this person.
Can you see yourself?

Here’s A List Of Questions To Spice Up Your First Date
Making up strange pet names for each other
You and your partner have created cute and awkward names for each other. No one else knows the backstories behind these pet names but both of you.
Insulting and trolling each other
At the early stage of the relationship, while both of you are still ‘forming’, you start to insult each other, even though it’s just a cover-up for how much you love yourselves. From saying things like ‘see your big head’ to ‘you’re so annoying’, you start trolling them, knowing deep down that you’ve started falling in love. It’s a Nigerian thing.
Spending money you never thought you’d spend
You find yourself making ridiculous expenses to make your partner happy. You’re continually looking for new things to buy for them, even when you don’t have enough money. Also when you buy something for yourself, you make sure you add an extra purchase for them. How cute.
Taking risks for them
Being in love while in school is a different ball game. Some people sneak out of their halls during curfew and even skip lectures, to be with their partners. However, that doesn’t also compare to those who give their partners their entire monthly allowance or even part of their school fees to their baes.
P.S: If this is you, you might be entrapped. Release yourself, dear.
Talking about them often
Whether it’s a work discussion or a casual talk with your friends, you always find a way to bring their names into the conversation, because they’re always on your mind.
Ignoring all the red flags
This is where it could get even weirder. You see that your partner doesn’t call you as often as you do, they’re beginning to show interest or might even be cheating on you, yet you’re willing to stick with them because you’ve been blinded by love.
Getting their names inked on your skin
It’s one thing to consider getting your partner’s name permanently tatted on your skin and it’s another thing to go through with it. If you’re going to do this, at least have a backup plan in case the relationship doesn’t work out.
