If you’re wondering whether your significant other loves you, a quiz may help. You may ask yourself whether your partner cares about your goals and plans, values your opinion, prioritizes quality time with you, and treats you with respect, for example. Perhaps you know your partner loves you, but there are areas of your relationship that could use some help and professional guidance. In this case, you may find couples therapy helpful in improving your relationship health, whether you attend sessions in person or online. 

Please keep in mind that the quiz questions below can also be applicable to anyone who is curious about whether their partner loves them.

Understand her true feelings with an assessment

If you’re taking this quiz, you might be trying to decide whether your love interest is as invested in this relationship as you are. 

The following questions can help you reflect on your goals and needs for this relationship. Alongside these quiz questions, we’ll also discuss key signs that your partner or love interest may be falling for you, too. 

1. Do they care about your goals and future plans? 

Perhaps you’ve started to discuss your dreams and personal goals with your girlfriend or partner. If she’s interested in discussing the possibility of a future together, it may be a sign that she’s falling for you and factoring you into her long-term plan.

Of course, each partner should generally have a say in the direction of the relationship – and ideally, you’ll support each other’s individual ambitions as well as common plans. 

If she’s eager to discuss these future plans, it may be a sign that she loves you, cares about your success, and wants this relationship to be a part of her future. 

2. Do they value your opinion?

From time to time, your friends, family, and acquaintances may ask for your thoughts and opinions. This can be a sign of trust and emotional intimacy. By opening up about our problems, we can invite someone else into our personal worlds, which can be a meaningful bonding experience. 

If your girlfriend or partner asks for and appreciates your opinion, it can be a sign that they feel emotionally connected to you. While this may not automatically mean that they’ve fallen in love with you, emotional intimacy is often a positive sign in developing relationships. 

3. Do you both feel more relaxed around each other?

At the very beginning of the relationship, you may feel butterflies in your stomach, which can make it hard to relax and find the words you’re looking for. But as you spend more time with your love interest and learn more about each other, you may begin to feel more relaxed, comfortable, and safe in their company.

This gradual feeling of relaxation and safety can be a powerful one, and it often indicates that your relationship is heading in a healthy direction. You may feel physically relaxed around your partner, as well as feel a sense of ease when talking to them. 

4. Do they initiate physical touch? 

While physical intimacy is not always an expression of love, it can be a powerful way to communicate our feelings. 

Depending on your girlfriend’s love language and needs for intimacy, physical touch can be a key indicator of love and care. Touch can include sex, kissing, hugging, holding hands, and cuddling, among other examples. Any of these gestures may indicate that she’s falling for you, trusts you, and wants to communicate her love for you in a physical way. 

These experiences are subjective because some people have different needs for physical touch. Even staring at each other from across the room can be an intimate experience for some partners.

5. Do they prioritize and spend time with you?

Quality time can be another love language. For some people, spending time with their loved ones is their primary method of showing love, care, and appreciation for them.

It’s often important to maintain friendships and other connections while in a relationship, but it can be equally important to prioritize time with your partner. If your girlfriend actively tries to spend her free time with you, it can be a good sign, as well as an opportunity to plan fun, meaningful activities together. 

Some couples commit to a weekly date night, while others might block off a chunk of time every evening for an emotional check-in. Ultimately, if spending time with each other is consistently fun and life-giving, it’s generally an indicator of a healthy and loving relationship.

6. Do they respect you and your personal space?

Treating each other with respect might seem like a basic pillar of any relationship, but it’s still worth highlighting. All too often, romantic partners can take each other for granted, particularly as they become more comfortable and “settled” in the relationship. 

Regardless of the length of your relationship, it can be helpful to reflect on the basic meaning of respect and personal space. People tend to have many ideas about the definition of respect, but it generally means that every person has the right to make their own choices and feel safe. 

Ideally, romantic partners should be equals, so no one may have “authority” over the other. In a healthy relationship, all partners are normally responsible for treating each other with respect. In a healthy and loving relationship, respect can be a recurring topic of conversation. 

Your girlfriend may not agree with all your choices or opinions, but if she respects and loves you, she’ll typically trust your judgment and ability to navigate your daily life. In a mutually respectful relationship, you’ll generally show the same level of care, respect, and belief in her abilities.

7. Are they willing to work on your relationship?

If she loves you, your girlfriend or partner will likely be willing to work through the natural challenges of a relationship. Most romantic partners encounter these obstacles, but if you both believe in the strength of the relationship, it’s often possible to overcome them.

Some romantic partners work through the smaller issues on their own, while others seek professional counseling or therapy to resolve bigger concerns. Whichever route you take, the willingness to “do the work” is often a sign of mutual love and belief in the relationship. 

8. Have they said, “I love you”? 

This phrase might be the most obvious and direct sign of love. Still, these words often follow a period of getting to know each other, developing intimacy, and discussing future plans. When you start communicating your love with words as well as actions, it can mean that the relationship is moving in a more serious direction.

If you’re still waiting to say “I love you” to your girlfriend, you might be trying to find the “right” time to impart your feelings. This can be a highly personal decision, and there’s generally no hard-and-fast rule for when and how to express your love. 

Take the time you need to get to know your partner (as well as yourself!) before verbalizing your love. There’s no rush, and the extra time can help you decide if you’re ready to pursue the next step in your relationship.

What you can learn from this and related quizzes

This quiz does not provide a sure answer about whether your partner loves you. The same is true for related quizzes online. Quizzes rarely provide concrete insights because they’re generalized. 

However, if you spend time on a quiz like this, you might be able to learn about topics related to love. Once you’ve learned more about these topics, you can talk to your partner about them the next time you hang out or talk on the phone. 

Another option might be taking a quiz together or watching cute movies about love together to spark these conversations. For example, "She Loves Me" is a musical starring Laura Benanti, Zachary Levi, and Jane Krakowski. It follows two feuding perfume shop girls who are caught in a romantic entanglement and unaware that they are each other's secret pen pals. The story unfolds with humor and charm, showcasing the complexities of love and relationships through the eyes of each woman.

This can spark deep conversations about love, especially if you relate to one character and your partner relates to the other girl in the story.

Online therapy can strengthen your relationship

If you’re curious about love, intimacy, and other relational concerns, a therapist can help you develop a healthy, mutually loving relationship. 

Some people prefer in-person therapy to discuss these concerns, but a growing number of people use online therapy to work toward their relationship and mental health goals. Through a digital therapy platform, you can connect with a board-certified therapist within 48 hours and begin scheduling sessions that align with your schedule. 

Several studies show that online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face options. For example, this study looked at the efficacy of online couples therapy in relation to in-person couples therapy and found that their rates of effectiveness were largely the same.

In general, online therapies often make it easier for people to get mental health care, regardless of their location, age, or relationship status.
