How do you know if you’ve met the other pea to your pod? The yin to your yang? The bee to your honey? Wouldn’t it be nice to just be in love? The signs you both have great chemistry together vary greatly depending on the couple, and there are telltale signs to see if you both have great chemistry together. So let’s take a look at these 10 signs to see if that person you’re with is doing any of these things at all.
1. You have a ton of inside jokes.
Half the time you’re with this person, you’re both making side-eye contact with each other and holding in laughter about something no one else notices. Your inside jokes span almost every topic of conversation. Someone could literally say the word “noodles” and you two would burst out laughing about something dumb and completely unrelated to the moment. These jokes are little bonding moments that no one shares but you two, and they sure are cute isn’t it.

2. You can both be silent without it being awkward.
It takes a lot to be able to sit in silence comfortably. In fact, modern studies have shown that we have so much background noise now with the technology available, that it has created new generations that fear silence. If you and this other person have overcome a generational fear and can enjoy each other’s company while sipping a drink in silence or enjoying a landscape with peace and quiet, you’ve reached a new level of connection.
3. Time flies when you’re together.
You swore you just met up and somehow, it’s three hours later and you feel like only a few minutes have passed. The old saying rings true, time flies when you’re having fun. If you’re having that much fun together, it’s only natural that you both have great chemistry together.
4. You can both act like yourselves.
Most people put on some sort of front when they’re in front of others – especially if they’re around people they aren’t comfortable with. These fronts might be trying to be more interesting than we actually are, pretending to be interested in things that might not really catch our eyes, and even hiding the parts of ourselves we are embarrassed about. If you and this other person can be genuine with each other, this shows some serious chemistry. This means you can both show each other your flaws, strengths, weaknesses, and be blunt about how you feel. Because you both accepted each other which helps strengthens your relationship even more. This is one of the strong signs you both have great chemistry together.

5. You’re on the same page about major topics.
While opposites may attract, similarities have been shown to keep couples together longer. That’s why it’s so important to be on the same page with your partner about big issues. This includes agreeing on things like future plans, morals, personal goals, and family dynamics. If you and this person see eye-to-eye on most of the big things, you’re already in a better spot than most couples!
6. You can trust each other.
A relationship without trust is like an airplane without wings – pointless. Most people can count the people they trust on one hand, so if you found trust with this person, you definitely found some sort of chemistry. While trust is a part of chemistry, it could also be found with a close friend, so be sure you tick off a few more signs before thinking you two share anything romantic.
7. You feel a spark of attraction when you’re together.
You’ve probably heard people talking about feeling a “spark” with someone. What does that refer to exactly? So, let me give you an example, you’ve been talking to this person and it seems like it’s going nowhere, but this person all of a sudden mentions that they like to play board games, and that catches your attention because you too are in love with board games. It’s that spark or connection you both have for something that keeps you wanting more because you both love board games. You both then geek out on some board games and now they’re like a 10/10 in your eyes. Maybe I’m exaggerating this a little, but the idea is still here. It’s what keeps you both wanting more of each other all the time because it’s fun to be around you.
8. You speak often and easily.
When you have chemistry with someone, you both flow together. Things are easy and happen naturally. This means you’ll find yourselves speaking often – probably every day or almost every day – and the conversation moves without interruption or awkward pauses. This could be in person, on the phone, or while messaging one another. It seems like it’s just easy to be together.

9. You both connect on every level.
From sharing interests to fears, you both seem to connect on every level. Even if you don’t see something the same way, you still connect through empathizing with the other’s perspective. You may not agree with everything they think, but you understand how they might feel and respond accordingly to give them a safe space to be real with you. If there was this same level of connection between countries, we would never have another war on planet earth. If only.
10. Being together just feels right.
Whether you’re walking down the street together, hanging with your friends, or just sitting on a sofa with each other, things feel right. This sign is a gut feeling that you can’t shake or explain. The best thing to compare it to would be a sense of peace you feel when you’re with this person. You know things will be alright when you’re together and you feel comfortable at their side. This feeling is the biggest sign of chemistry yet – plus a big sign that you’re likely falling for this person.
