When it’s true love, you’ll know, you’ll just know.
It is easy to develop feelings for the guy you are dating but takes a while to understand if he is on the same page as you. Because of the initial confusion, shyness and fear of giving you a lot to expect, he might not say it out loud but there are some things that he might do to make it clear to you. Here are ten signs that the guy you have developed feelings for (or not) is seriously in love with you.
1. There’s Only You:
Whatever little contact he had with his ex-girlfriends and crushes, he ends it naturally because for him, it is all about you now. It is a different matter if his ex happens to be his co-worker but otherwise, he would indulge himself in only one serious relationship that is with you and put off all the old flames. When we genuinely like someone, all our confusions and old, unstable connections seem to not matter anymore. That is how you will know that he has, somewhat, started seeing you the way you see him.
2. He Cares About His Impression On Your Family:
When you tell him about your upcoming family dinner, he seems ready more than hesitant. It is him saying that ‘I think it’s high time I meet them’. He dresses up formally unlike some guy who does not give a damn about what your family thinks about him. He stays his true self around your family and refrains from foul play because that is what a good boyfriend would do. His love for you keeps him disciplined and interested in your family and the stories they have to tell about you.
3. You Have Met People Close To Him:
You have met his best friend and the whole group, his favorite cousin and all his family. That is one way to know that you have made your way into his heart. If you were just a fling, he would not bother introducing you to the people he is close to. It seems like he is almost certain that you will stay a part of his family now and that it is like an inevitable reality now. He takes you as his plus one to family weddings and is proud to be seen holding hands with you.
4. He Does Not Mind Waiting:
If you have not been physically intimate with him a lot of times, he does not mind for you to be comfortable. Guys who are time-wasters usually get cranky when denied sex; it won’t be the case with the guy who loves you. Your comfort and consent mean everything to him therefore he does not rush you in the bedroom until you are ready. It shows that he likes you and not just your body.
5. He Maintains Contact:
He is one of those guys who you do not have to worry about going astray because he initiates contact and gives you the satisfaction of being his top priority. He makes you feel content and you know he must really be busy when he is not texting or calling. Maintaining contact shows that he has literally got nobody so close to him, except you, with whom he can talk about anything and everything. Only love can be the reason behind wanting to talk someone 24/7.
6. You Are On His Mind:
Even when you are not with him or around him, he thinks about you and talks about you. If his friends or family members tell you that he is always talking about you, it is justified that you get flattered. A person only talks about someone when he is obsessed about them and if that obsession stays, it won’t be wrong to call it love.
7. Your Opinions Matter To Him:
Some men tend to keep their women out of their outdoor businesses and completely separate them from the things that worry them all day. If your guy shares everything that he can’t find a solution of by himself and asks for your opinion, you really matter to him. He loves you if he thinks it appropriate to tell you everything about his outdoor businesses and takes your opinion into consideration because that does not only show how high he holds you but also makes it clear that you are his go-to person.
8. Truth and Nothing But The Truth:
Closed affairs and dark secrets will all be made open to you when he realizes that he loves you. He will feel no need to hide anything from you because he thinks you are constant. You will notice his phone won’t be password protected and even if it is, he will casually tell you the code. Complete trust in someone shows that they have made a place for themselves in our lives and that is exactly what you have done if he always tells you the truth and nothing but the truth.
9. He Has Talked About Making It Exclusive:
Dating you without being exclusive means that you can meet anybody while you date him; the thought of sharing you with someone makes him jealous. If he really has fallen for you, he will try or has tried having the talk. He has already asked you or will ask you if you want to call it exclusive. He might not say exactly how much he has become interested in you; the request for exclusiveness is enough to understand that.
10. He Makes Everything Easy for You:
If your workload is more than you can handle, he will be there for you to reduce/share it. If something is bothering you, he will make sure that he is of some help in making things right because seeing you upset upsets him. He will generally make everything easy for you like an honest lover would. Love is easy to sense. The little things we do make it clear how much we care for the other person and he will do just that to make it clear to you.
