Moments that make you realise that you're in love

List yours here.
These are to do with my current boyfriend of 8 months.
The first one was after he'd come to a concert of mine and stayed overnight at my house. Normally, when people stay overnight I am ready to throw them out of the house by the next morning because I am sick of the sight of them and just want to be alone. (If any of my friends ever read this, it's not because I don't like you. I just need a lot of time alone. I can't breathe properly or think straight when I have people around constantly. (Yes, once every few weeks DOES count as 'constantly'.)) However, when he left, I was sad that he couldn't stay longer and I missed him when he was gone.

The second one was recently. I called him and it turned out that he and one of his friends were not far from my house. This was a surprise, as he lives quite far from me. Normally, if a friend told me that they were in the area, I'd say something like
"I'm...uhh... really busy with uni work, " while thinking 'F*** OFF, leave me ALONE, social contact gives me enough of a headache, let alone when it's unexpected.'
In this case, I was delighted and insisted that he come to see me. It was great to see him, and I ended up going back to his place with him.

The third time was the other night. I was overloaded at a concert (see post here http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules.php? ... ic&t=20656) and pretended to be fine for my friend's sake. I was thinking that if it had been him there with me, I could have jsut walked out for some fresh air and space and he would have understood that things had become too much for me and that I needed to recharge. I would even have been able to lean against him and shut everything out.
I realised then that a big reason I love him is because I can be completely myself around him. There are no demands to "be normal" or "talk to me". No "You're so intelligent, why can't you...".
