1. He Buys You Little Gifts
If your man constantly brings you little tokens of affection when he sees you, it shows you're on his mind - whether it's your favourite chocolate bar, a book he thought you'd like or just groceries he thought you might need. This is one of the sweetest ways he shows he loves you, so don't take it for granted!
2. He Lets You Choose
You might think he's showing he doesn't care when he says you can choose the film or which restaurant you eat at for dinner, but actually, he's showing his love for you. By letting you make decisions, he's focused on your happiness - he wants to do what YOU want to do!
Frequently asked questions
You know, sometimes actions speak louder than words. If he goes out of his way to make you happy, listens to you deeply, and remembers the little things about you, those are pretty strong signs he's head over heels for you!
It's tough, but sometimes love isn't enough to keep a relationship going. There could be other factors like personal growth, timing, or even external pressures. It doesn't mean he didn't care for you.
Oh, there are many! Look for the way he prioritizes you, how he supports your ambitions, and if he makes you feel secure. Little gestures like surprising you with your favorite snack or taking an interest in your hobbies are big clues, too.
There's no one-size-fits-all answer to this. Follow your heart and comfort level. If you feel strongly and think you're ready, go ahead. It's a leap of faith but sometimes worth taking!
He might just need time to feel certain or comfortable. Creating a safe, positive environment where he feels appreciated and understood can gently encourage him to open up about his feelings.
3. He Lets You Win a Game
So, you're gaming together on his PS4 (or yours) and you're really losing badly. Suddenly, everything turns around and you're making him look like a total loser! When he lets you win deliberately so you won't feel bad, he's putting his pride (and gaming skills) to one side so that you'll be happy. Of course, if you're that good a gamer you might be the one who needs to let him win - another sure sign of love!
4. He Calls Last Thing at Night
If your guy calls or texts last thing at night and first thing in the morning, you can bet you're on his mind. This is really sweet and shows he's thinking about you and that he loves you. Think about it; you don't text just anyone when you wake up - those first few moments of sleepiness are reserved for the people closest to you!
5. He Takes an Interest in Your Hobbies
If he comes to the theatre with you even though he hates it, sits through a photography convention or even wanders around the shops when you're hunting for a new outfit, it's love! The chances are, he's hating every second of it, but he's still having a good time as he's with you. These little sacrifices go both ways though, girls, so next time he asks you to sit through his favourite fight on BoxNation or go to the game with him, reciprocate!
6. He Plants Little Kisses on You
Not all kissing has to be sloppy and romantic, sometimes it's the littlest kisses that mean the most! Even if your man isn't known for his displays of affection, if he plants the odd kiss on your forehead or lips now and again, it's super-sweet and shows he loves you. Make sure you return the favour and he will feel loved too!
7. He Worries about You
If you're having a bad day, he comes to cheer you up, or at least calls to see if there's anything he can do. If you're struggling with money, he tries to help you out, and if you need some company because you're feeling down, he's there. If your man is always there for you when you need him, this is him showing his love!
Men aren't always as vocal as women - when have you ever known a man to jump at the chance to sit down and discuss your relationship?! But this doesn't mean they don't care, just that they don't always verbalise their feelings. Quite often, your boyfriend's little gestures are the ones he uses to express how he feels about you, so be aware of them! Does your guy have any little ways that he shows you he loves you?
