You may be dating a guy, or a guy may be ‘toasting’ you, but does that mean he loves you?
It can be a hassle if you’re unsure of where you both stand in the love atmosphere because your mind keeps wondering if his interest in you has graduated into love, and you start asking yourself “does he love me?”.
Well, to ease your wondering and wandering thoughts, here are subtle ways to know the honest truth.
HE COMMUNICATES
In a relationship, the more the couple talks, the better they understand each other. And if your guy really loves you, he can’t help but talk about his feelings, his desires, his plans and he’ll want to know everything about your life too.
HE PLANS A FUTURE WITH YOU
If a guy loves you, he’ll easily change his habits and lifestyle just to suit yours if it means he could spend more time with you. He includes you in his future plans and talks about a shared future together. He discusses long-term goals, dreams, and aspirations, which proves that he sees you as a part of his life for the long term.
HE PAYS ATTENTION AND IS PROTECTIVE
This can be confused with being controlling, Does he reassure you when you’re nervous?, A man that can see your needs or inconveniences from the other side of the room. He runs to your need at any slight disruption. That’s a sign that your happiness and safety are above everything else in his mind.
HE IS NEVER ‘TOO BUSY’
He prioritizes you and your relationship, makes every effort to include you in his life and make you feel important. He makes efforts to spend time with you, actively listens to what you have to say. Even on busy days, he’s sure to fill you in on details before it gets too overwhelming.
Men are generally known to be ‘tough’ even when things don’t require them to be, they are used to bottling up things because of the narrative ‘Men shouldn’t cry’ but when a man is willing to be vulnerable and open up to you emotionally, it means he feels comfortable sharing their fears, insecurities, and dreams with you, indicating a deep level of trust and emotional connection.
AFFECTION AND INTIMACY
A guy that doesn’t feel it’s corny, doesn’t feel ashamed or shy to show his raw, undiluted affection towards you, both physically and emotionally from his acts of kindness, hugs, kisses, and other expressions of love. Nothing says ‘I love you’ more than a forehead kiss and teddybear hugs.
TRUST AND SUPPORTS YOU
He trusts you and is open and honest with you about his feelings, thoughts, and experiences. He doesn’t keep secrets from you and encourages an environment of trust.
And then he takes every action to support and care for you, actively getting invested in your happiness and well-being
