Some men aren't exactly in touch with their feelings. That's why they won't utter those three little words as much as we'd like them to. They show their emotions in a different way. Don't assume that your boyfriend isn't attached to you, just because he has a hard time expressing his emotions. Here are a few different ways that some men show affection:

1. Introduces You to His Friends
He wouldn't introduce you to his friends and family members, unless he was serious about you. So if you've become a part of his friend group, it's a good sign. It's an even better sign if he does little things, like calls you by pet names and gives you pecks on the cheek, while he's with his friends. Some boys make fun of each other for those types of gestures, so if he's willing to engage in a tiny bit of PDA in front of them, it's a big deal.
OMG, it's like the ultimate sign he really likes you! If he's not afraid to show his feelings around his buddies, you're definitely special to him.
Yes girl, it totally does! If he's willing to hold your hand or steal a kiss in public, it's a strong sign he's into you and proud to be with you.
They can be a bit mysterious, right? Men show love in many ways: being protective, doing little things for you, and yes, even through PDA like hugs or kisses.
Don't freak out just yet! Some guys are just shy or reserved about PDA. It doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't care about you. Talk to him and see how he feels about it.
Well, in most places, there's no actual law that bans PDA. That said, just be mindful of your surroundings and keep it tasteful. Lovebirds should spread love, not make people uncomfortable!
2. Holds Your Hand
If he holds your hand while you walk around the mall together, it proves that he's proud of you. He wants everyone to see that he's with the sexiest girl in the store. That's his own way of showing affection. If he loves to show you off, then it means that he cares about you and wants every other boy to keep their distance.

Men show their affection in different ways, and one of the most common is by holding your hand. This is a sign of public display of affection, as it shows that he is proud to be with you and wants the world to know. It also implies that he wants to protect you from other men.
Holding hands is a sign of trust and security, as it creates a physical connection between the two of you. It can be a comforting gesture, as it can make you feel safe and loved. It also implies that he wants to be close to you and that he wants to share his life with you.
Men also show their affection through small gestures, such as opening the door for you, offering you his jacket when you're cold, or carrying your bags. These gestures show that he is willing to make you happy and take care of you.
Another way men show their affection is by being attentive to your needs and desires. This could include taking the time to listen to your problems, offering advice, or simply being there for you when you need it.
