Popis: The neutron star properties are generally determined by the equation of state of β-equilibrated dense matter. In this work, we consider the interaction of fermionic dark matter (DM) particles with nucleons via Higgs exchange and investigate the effect on the neutron star properties with the relativistic mean-field model equation of state coupled with DM. We deduce that DM significantly affects the neutron star properties, such as considerably reducing the maximum mass of the star, which depends on the percentage of the DM considered inside the neutron star. The tidal Love numbers both for electric and magnetic cases and surficial Love numbers are also studied for DM admixed NS. We observed that the magnitude of tidal and surficial Love numbers increases with a greater DM percentage. Further, we present post-Newtonian tidal corrections to gravitational waves decreased by increasing the DM percentage. The DM effect on the GW signal is significant during the late inspiral and merger stages of binary evolution for GW frequencies >500 Hz.
