I try to physicalize it in feelings of the body. I've been in love, too. Butterflies in the stomach is a cliche that doesn't apply, so I try to really pay attention.
Apart from that, I try to show it in the actions of the characters. If there's anything that I've learned from being in fan communities, it's that Shippers (readers who see a romantic connection between characters who aren't necessarily written that way) are going to project romance into anything and everything, so I don't even need to spell it out. They could hate each other and people will go, "Ooh, chemistry!" They could bump into each other and not even spill any drinks in sexy places, and somebody will go, "I ship it!"
