5. The sex is fantastic. But what happens after you get busy...that’s
what blows your mind!
So he knocks on your front door and you don’t even make it to the bedroom
before you’re both stripped down and ready to do things that would make
Anastasia and Christian blush...holy hormones on fire!! When it’s just lust,
the toe-curling physical is all you need, and after the deed is done, you’re
already hunting down your lacy naughty things so you can make a quick exit...
But then you decide to catch your breath in his arms. And since the bed is so
damn comfortable, why not chill out and watch that episode of The Walking
Dead you both wanted to see? And all that cardio can really work up an
appetite. He just happens to know where to get the most delicious carne asada…
When you’re coming up with a million excuses to spend another hour or two
together, it’s love, not lust!
4. You find yourself thinking about him when you’re not together.
The sexting is about to make your phone combust at work, and it’s good. But
once the hot stuff cools down, discussion about things that are big and hot and
wet and ready right now gives way to a little joke about the last annoying
customer who came in at work...and then he fills you in about his day off
surfing...and you ask about the fishing trip he was planning to take with his
grandfather…
What started out as delicious fun turns into something a little sweeter and
just as sexy, because, besides the way he drives you wild with passion, you
care about the day-to-day things he’s going through.
When your thoughts move from purely scandalous to comfortably everyday--and
it’s still a turn on--it’s love!
3. You want him to meet your friends and family.
Your mom is prim and proper Ms. Manners type, his is a total throwback to the
60s, complete with her flowy skirts and penchant for essential oils--and you
keep thinking you’d be totally okay with a regular turkey and a tofurkey at
Thanksgiving if it meant you’d be able to watch the big game with your guy
while you eat his famous pumpkin pie...and maybe steal a can of whipped cream
for later...
If you’d love to meet his family and friends and introduce him the most
important people in your life--and sneak off to have sex in your old room--it’s
love!
2. You have fun doing literally anything with him.
Sex is so much fun--sex in cars, sex on the stairs, sex in a big, comfy bed.
But when the guy who rocks your world between the sheets makes normal things
fun--like cooking dinner, studying, or grocery shopping--you know he’s a
keeper. So if you want to tag along when he gets a new tattoo or if he’s up for
the ride when you’re driving across town to register for spring semester,
things have reached a new level.
If having him around can make anything from a trip to the dentist to a lazy day
at the beach the most fun you’ve ever had, open your eyes! This is love!
1. You let go of all your safety nets...and he did too.
Lust is about fun, zero commitment, variety! Once upon a time the thought of
having to face your booty call in the harsh light of morning made a walk of
shame sound like loads of fun!
But you’re not freaked out when you realize his toothbrush and deodorant have
found a permanent home in your bathroom and a few of his shirts are mixed in
with your clothes. Those other numbers in your phone--the ones you always kept
on hand as convenient back-ups in case your plans fell through last minute?
You’ve deleted them. He turned down his former friend-with-benefits when she
invited him on an impromptu weekend getaway, and he let you know he told the
cute assistant at work he’s not interested in grabbing drinks.
What’s brought on this change?
Are you two complete and total idiots? You belong together!
When you’re willing to be vulnerable for the other person, and you trust them
to do the same for you, you’re absolutely, no question, butt-crazy in love!

being a beach bum. Now he's falling for Whit...hard.

her past...
