Have you been seeing that one man whom you're not even sure loves you back. Find out with these tips if he truly does.
He loves you, he loves you not. If you suspect your new boyfriend
has fallen head-over-heels for you, look for the hard-to-miss signs that
he’s in love with you.
1. He treats you with respect
When a man is in love with a woman, he respects her. He cares about
the details of her life. He treats her well. If your guy values your
opinions, compliments your character, celebrates your accomplishments,
pays attention to details, and even accommodates your quirky habits — He
stocks the fridge with Diet Coke even though he can’t stand the stuff,
for example — you’ve got a keeper who’s falling fast and hard for you.
2. You’re always on his mind
Does he send you funny texts during the day? Do songs, signs and
hilarious headlines remind him of you? Does he Google last night’s
unresolved debate — “Which is healthier: ice cream or gelato?” — when
he’s at work? When you become a very present part of his day even when
you’re apart, he’s invested in the relationship.
3. He compromises
Love can soften the heart. Being right isn’t as important as doing
right by the other person. When your beau starts to meet you in the
middle on topics he’s typically stubborn about — Maybe he’s a movie snob
suddenly willing to let you pick a flick he’d otherwise never watch —
he’s leading with his heart instead of his head. Signs of selflessness
are huge indicators that he’s in love.
4. He touches you in public
Most guys have no qualms about touching their girlfriends in
private. With public displays of affection, however, they can be a
little more hesitant. When your man puts his arm around you in public,
he’s both proudly announcing to the world that you’re together and
making a protective gesture. Another love gesture: when he starts
offering the hugs and cuddles you crave, with no expectation of s*x. He
wants to serve you with physical touch, not use it just to get what he
wants.
5. He wants to take care of you
Women often roll their eyes at men’s “fix it” instincts; and while
he may not be able to fix every bad day, the fact that he tries only
points to the fact that he deeply cares about you. He wants to make
things better. He wants to provide for you, practically and emotionally.
He wants to make you smile. When he puts in the effort to comfort and
reassure you, he’s saying “I love you” in both word and deed.
6. He wants you to love his family
Does he want you to meet everyone who’s important to him? When he’s
ready to introduce you to people who matter most — and is equally eager
to meet your friends and family — he has no intentions of going
anywhere. He’s proud to be with you and wants his family to fall in love
with you, too.
7. He’s not afraid to fight — or apologize
Sometimes it takes a fight or two to understand just how strong a
relationship is. A man in love is one who isn’t afraid of conflict — or
apologies. Instead, he fights fair, respects you when things get rocky,
listens to your perspective, hates to see you upset, and wants to
resolve things well. “Love means never having to say you’re sorry” is
the most inaccurate movie tagline ever. (Sorry, “Love Story.”) Love
means dropping the pride, admitting when you’re wrong and never being
afraid to say you’re sorry.
8. “We” has replaced “I”
Listen to his word choices. When he starts using words like “we,”
“us,” and “Team Awesome” — Each guy will have his own way to describe
the unit you’ve become — he’s not thinking of himself as a single man
anymore. You’re now part of his life. And he loves that.
9. When he talks about the future, you’re in it
Does he make plans for the future that include you? Did he invite
you to his buddy’s wedding next fall? Does he joke about your future
children together? When he’s got a future with you on his mind, he’s
already decided that he has no intentions of letting you go.
10. He says so
If he says he loves you, believe him. A man in love can’t keep it to himself for long.
