From childhood games with folded paper fortuneteller to Whitney Houston blaring from your ear buds, girls have been asking the same question for eons. Just as long as love has been a concept in the hearts and minds of humanity, this question has been asked by women.
Men aren’t known for leveling about their feelings. Some men are more open than others and sometimes it seems like he’s telling you what he thinks you wish to hear instead of how he really feels. So, how can you really know if he loves you? These are a few hard to mistake signs.
He Connects to You
We live in a day and age where communication is nearly constant. And, yet, for many women it feels like you’re always the one reaching out. If he is the first one to
– Call.
– Text message.
– Instant message.
– Instagram.
– Send messages on Facebook.
– Email.
the odds are great that he really has feelings for you he wants to explore. Men who are ambivalent rarely make the first move. They certainly don’t go out of their way to send you messages in the morning or call you up unexpectedly just to see how your day is going.
He Tells You He Loves You.
The “L” word is difficult for many men to utter. Just attempting to say it, for some men, makes them seem like their tongues have suddenly become glued to the tops of their mouths. You know, the peanut butter dry mouth syndrome. Even when they feel genuine love for you, it’s nearly impossible for men to be the first to make that declaration. If he says he loves you, chances are, he really does. Don’t expect him to make Herculean efforts, in your eyes, to prove it. From his perspective, just saying it was Herculean enough.
He Deals with Your Friends and Family.
Men don’t often tolerate uncomfortable scrutiny. Because he’s willing to become applied the chopping block of public opinion with your friends and family says a lot about where his heart is. If he keeps going back for more punishment, you’ve got a real keeper on your hands.
By the end of the day, though, it matters not how often he tells you, what he puts up with to show you, or whether or not he makes the first move. What matters most is whether or not he makes you feel loved BY HIM. No amount of sweat talk or sincere gestures on his part are mosting likely to convince you if you don’t feel the love he professes.
