Someone who has never been in a relationship before can't possibly have experienced the feeling of love. Unless they are confident that they love themselves. Even so, that's still not quite the same as that gushy, butterflies in your stomach kind of love you feel when you've met your soulmate.

They are lone wolfing life

Someone who is enjoying living life by themselves will most likely struggle to experience love, if they have experienced it at all. Often these people are so busy doing their own thing that they forget or neglect their own needs. They might even struggle to find the time to meet someone and get close enough to them to chance falling in love.

They have never heard 'I love you'

Someone can be in a relationship with another person but that doesn't mean they're in love with each other. It may be that they think they love the other person but they never hear those magical words said to them in return - not only is this awkward but it can leave them wondering whether they're in love or what love may feel like.

They have never had someone focus on the little things

Waking up in the morning to see their significant other has brought them a morning coffee to bed is definitely a sign of love! Who doesn't love a coffee in bed?! If their significant other does not focus on the small things in life that make them smile, it might just be the sign they need to tell them love is not there.

Relationships have focused on intimacy only

If you're finding yourself in relationships that are solely focused on intimacy and not a deeper connection, you can guarantee that you're not in a loving relationship. A partner who loves you should want to spend time with you, talk to you and get to know you, not simply just fool around under the sheets!

They've never had anyone pay them attention

To have someone genuinely pay attention to you and your life goals, is love. A significant other should want to see you succeed and they should admire your passions. If they don't and you find yourself fighting for their attention, you are probably not their priority. When in love, you will never be second best!

They aren't bothered if relationships work out or not
