Love is not as complicated as we tend to make it out to be. When someone loves you, you feel it and while we might want it more than anything in the world sometimes it just isn’t present.

In this day and age, a lot of people will want to waste your time and play with your heart. You should not let that happen. If you’re with someone that doesn’t have good intentions you should cut ties. If the person you are giving your all to isn’t really in love with you, why should you waste your time being with them?

Below I am going to go over some of the signs that will be present when someone loves you. If the person you’re with isn’t able to offer you these things then they are not as into you as they say they are. Words are nothing when actions do not match. Don’t let anyone take advantage of your heart.
