- HE LISTENS TO YOU
The first sign that your man is in love with you is that he listens to you.
He’ll listen when you’re venting about work or when you’re talking about something you’re passionate about. If he truly cares, he’ll make sure you feel heard and validated.
By actively listening, he’s able to understand what makes you tick and help you navigate life’s ups and downs.
Listening is an art, and it’s hard!
It’s rare to find people who really care about you and want to wanna listen to your rants.
So, if a guy patiently listens to you, you are special to him.
- HE MAKES LONG-TERM PLANS
Remember the song, ”Baby I’ve been making plans for you”?
It’s true; if your guy is truly in love with you, he’ll be making big plans and wanting to create a future together.
He might talk about getting married, having children, and where you’d like to live.
He might also include his thoughts on what kind of careers you both can have so that you can achieve your goals together. - HE ENCOURAGES YOU
A man who is in love with you wants to see you succeed.
He’ll be your biggest cheerleader, encourager, and motivator. He’ll push you to be your best self, support your goals and encourage you to pusue your passions. With him by your side, there’s nothing you can’t do.
If you are with a guy who doesn’t support you or believe in you, and you still think he loves you, then you must have a twisted definition of love.
- HE COMPROMISES
In any relationship, compromise is key.
And when a guy loves you, he’ll make compromises to ensure you’re happy.
He’ll be willing to meet you halfway and make sure your needs and wants are being fulfilled. - HE SHARES HIS LIFE WITH YOU
When a man is in love, he’ll want to share every aspect of his life with you.
He’ll introduce you to his friends and family, take you to his favorite places, and show you the things that make him happy.
He’ll want to know what your life is like, too, so he can understand you better and be a part of it.
- HE SHOWS AFFECTION IN THE PUBLIC
Some guys shy away from public displays of affection but when a guy is really in love with you, he won’t be able to keep his hands off you.
He’ll hold your hand, put his arm around you, and, if he’s bold, kiss you in public. He wants the world to know how much he loves you and isn’t afraid to show it. - HE KEEPS HIS WORD
If a man who loves you says that he’s going to do something for you or with you, he will follow through.
He’ll keep his promises and stay true to his word.
It shows his commitment to the relationship and his dedication to you. This doesn’t mean he’ll agree with everything you want or that he won’t make mistakes.
Come on, we are humans, and perfection eludes us.
However if he loves you, he will do his best to uphold his end of the bargain and show how much he cares for you. - HE EXPRESSES HIS LOVE
One of the most recognizable things a man does for the woman he loves is express his love. He wants you to know how he feels and won’t be hesitant to tell you.
Saying ‘I love you’ is a big deal to men, and only a woman who is special to him will hear those three little words.
I know that men are not as expressive, and people have different ways they express love, but if he loves you, he won’t be shy about saying it.
- PROTECTS YOU
Men have an innate need to protect the women they love.
He wants to make sure you’re safe, emotionally and physically.
He might walk you to your car, walk you home at night, stand up for you when someone (including his family and friends) is being rude, and be there for you when you need emotional support. It’s his way of saying “I love you” without actually saying it. - HE PRIORITIZES YOU
People have many priorities in life, and for a guy to make you a priority, he must really care about you.
When a guy really loves you, he won’t make you feel like you don’t matter to him.
He will make time for you, even when he’s busy, and prioritize spending quality time with you.
We all know how selfish men can be with their time, and when he puts you first, it’s a sure sign of his love for you.
