This tingle is more than just a fleeting sensation—it's your body's way of telling you that your attraction is more than skin deep. When he's near, you might find your heart rate quickening, a warmth flooding your cheeks, and a desire that's hard to ignore. It's nature's way to ensure the two of you create a deeper bond—and, well, potentially more than that. This physical craving can be intense, but it's just one of the many thrilling side effects of having truly fallen for someone.

You might be so preoccupied with your man that you'll forget to eat certain meals and lose weight. However, you might feel content in your current situation and stop watching what you eat, which will make you gain weight, instead.

When smitten, your eating habits can swing either way. It's like your appetite syncs with your heart's erratic rhythms, sometimes bottoming out when you're lost in love's rapture. On flip side, romantic dinners and cozy takeout on the couch can lead to that comfortable cuddly physique. Your jeans might start to feel snug as love's indulgent side manifests right around your waistline. Embrace the change; after all, it's another quirky testament to the power of love!
