A new relationship is a time for getting to know someone knew, experiencing those butterflies and being absolutely crazy when it comes to obsessing over them and every detail of your new relationship. We're all guilty of becoming detectives and experts in strategy when we're on our own and with friends. Chances are, they're doing the same thing too.
1. You'll obsess over texts
You'll analyze every text they send, combing through every word and emoji to find some secret meaning. And you'll spend ages perfectly formulating a response back, trying to leave just enough time to be just mysterious enough.
2. You'll talk to everyone about them
Whether you're analyzing texts with your friend, going into detail about your date last night with a co-worker or finding a way to bring them up in a random conversation with an almost stranger, you just can't stop talking about them.
3. You overthink every outfit
Is this too slutty?
4. You stalk them
You'll find yourself scrolling through their Instagram and Facebook, reading their tweets from 2012 and learning random details about them, like how they hurt their leg in California on vacation with their family or their distant cousin's name.
5. You stalk their friends - especially girls - in their pictures
Are they dating? Does it look like they've dated? Are they just friends? Is it his sister? Oh, it's his sister.
