Love or lust. We both know that these are emotions we all experience from time to time with people we are dating. But have you ever had those dates where you are unsure if there is the potential for a long lasting, healthy relationship in the future? Or could it just be many moments of lust with no real potential for love further down the track? Well, let’s have a look and talk about some of the signs that will help you work out whether or not you and your current partner could be headed for love. Many couples claim the whole love at first sight thing. Well, that is pretty much a myth and doesn’t exist. What they really mean when they say love at first site, is that they were overcome with lust for that person.If you’ve been dating someone for a while now then you need to know if it’s going to end up turning into love or if will just stay at lust. Here are a few signs that it could only be a lustful relationship:

• Plenty of flirting but not much deep and meaningful conversation
• You don’t know much about your dates friends or family and it doesn’t seem like you’ll meet any of them soon
• You don’t refer to each other as “boyfriend” and “girlfriend”
• You only see each other when it feels convenient rather than out of a genuine desire to see each other
• Conversely, here are a few signs that your date may be destined for a healthy, long lasting relationship:
• You talk to each other besides when you’re only out on dates
• You have conversations that create deep and meaningful connections, therefore you genuinely feel a sense of shared connectivity with that person
• You actively make time to see each other
• You refer to each other as “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”

Love and lust is a tricky thing but looking at these signs for both may help you to work out where you’re heading with your current dating partner. It could either just be lust or it could have the potential for a long lasting, healthy relationship.
