1. You don’t check other people out the way you used to. The hot guys or girls you cross paths with aren’t potential mates so much as temporary eye candy.

2. You don’t even notice fifty percent of the attractive people you pass on the street because you’re so distracted thinking about your life as it is, with the person you love. That, or you’re busy envisioning your blissful future together.

3. Your default expression is a wide smile and sparkling eyes because you’re actually that content.

4. You find yourself thinking “glass half full” thoughts way more often than usual.

5. Some of your friends have noted your change in demeanor with a mix of confusion and envy.

6. But you’re so far removed from what other people think about your relationship that you just shrug and smile in response to other’s observations, even when they seem like little digs.

7. You smile at the barista who prepares your morning coffee, too. And say “thank you” with such enthusiasm, it inspires them to smile right back at you. It’s official: you’ve become one of those infectiously happy people.
