A sure sign that a relationship is succeeding is that both parties feel happy and loved. But just because your partner tells you they are happy doesn’t always mean it is true. Sometimes they fake their contentment because although they might no longer have feelings for you, they have this big fear of being alone. Here are 8 warning signs that she is ready to dump you. When you meet up or do reach her on the phone, there are long awkward periods of silence. Not only is this an indicator that she is losing interest in you, she’s hoping the feeling becomes mutual. If she is sneaking around and sleeping with other guys, this is the clearest sign that the relationship is over.

A pity date is when you agree to get together with somebody you aren’t interested in. These dates are bad for both parties because it only delays the inevitable: you’ll end up rejecting them at some point anyway. If you get the sense that they’re a boring person or quickly realize you have nothing in common, but stick with it, you're definitely on a pity date. When you’re on a date with somebody you really like, your attention remains fully on them. When the opposite is true, the date seems to drag on forever and you find yourself looking around at the other patrons. You don’t want alone time with them. You insist on inviting a friend and his/her partner to make it a double date.

There are lots of subtle, science-based changes to your body that you might not even notice. A study conducted at Stanford University found that falling in love releases chemicals that can actually reduce pain. You might begin to notice that you’re having a difficult time getting words out. Love increases blood flow to the skin, and as a result you look years younger. The exciting experience of love releases brain chemicals called monoamines, which when set into overdrive leave your body in the form of perspiration. Any girl who digs your sweat is a keeper.

Looking for ways to take your relationship to the next level?

Falling in love is an incredible feeling. But it also has a tendency to make us act like big weirdos.
