“You know them deeply, experience their challenging sides, and fully embrace them.” While moments of feeling “in love” can certainly be a part of loving someone, the latter includes a strong sense of intimacy and closeness that's underlined by commitment, says Dr. DiDonato.

There's a typical progression of declarations that contestants on the show tend to make: Up first is falling for someone ("I'm falling for you!"), and then, falling in love with them ("I'm falling in love with you!"), followed by being in love ("I'm in love with you!"), and finally, loving them through and through ("I love you!"). In the context of the show, these admissions may come across as predictable, arbitrary, and sometimes even compulsory for advancing in the competition—but according to psychologists, they actually do hold water in real-life relationships. As it turns out, identifying the differences between falling in love, being in love, and loving someone can be particularly helpful for sorting your feelings. Below, psychologists walk through the distinct stages and offer some advice for pinpointing where you might, well, fall in any romantic situation. The differences between falling in love, being in love, and loving someone, according to psychologists:

In other words, you feel like you can be fully vulnerable with the other person, and that they can be fully vulnerable with you—and the feeling of love and emotional attachment between you will only grow stronger with time because of that continued vulnerability. By reaching this stage in the love process, you’re more likely to be involved in a relationship that will last. But that very distinction involves another key difference between being in love and loving someone: While the former is a place you might arrive, the latter is an action you’ll continue to take. “It is a conscious choice to make a permanent commitment to being there for each other through good and bad times, and not just when it’s fun,” says Dr. Sherman. “It’s in those tougher moments, when you get tested and triggered, that you’ll find the opportunity to work on yourselves and the relationship so that you can both become more loving—as a verb.” When you’re acting with this kind of love, it often shows up as a version of interdependence. “Each partner influences the other, and each partner's outcomes depend on the other,” says Dr. DiDonato. In that way, to love someone is to take their happiness as your happiness and their sadness as (yep) your sadness—an act that surely involves effort, and yet, also feels like a decision you simply can’t help but make.
