When does a man want a real woman? (although I don’t say it)

Is there a guy you’ve been dating, but hasn’t said the magic two words “I love you” to you yet?

You haven’t given up yet, because something tells you that he has fallen in love with you, but he just doesn’t want to admit it.

Fortunately, as much as you keep it quiet, your actions will reveal how you really feel.

So, to reassure you, we are going to discover 28 signs that will assure you that he loves you.

Even if he hasn’t told you out loud.

28 Signs He Loves You, Even If It’s Hard To Say It

1) Pay attention to everything you say

It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about your cat’s birthday or the music you liked 10 years ago. A sign that he loves you is when he listens carefully to every word you say.

He’s probably struggling right now to tell you how he feels.

To release, even a little bit of all those emotions, giving you his full attention is one of the ways he finds to express it.

2) He looks deep into your eyes

He may not verbally tell you what he’s feeling, but his eyes will.

Studies have shown that there is a link between the dilation of our pupils and what we feel. Especially when we love or are attracted to a person.

No wonder I can’t stop looking into your eyes. Both are transmitting silent messages of love just by looking at each other.

3) You catch him looking at you

And continuing with the theme of eye contact, you may find that he stares at you when he thinks you’re not looking.

This is undoubtedly a great sign of love.

Particularly when you catch him looking at you, while you’re doing your own thing, like reading a book or cooking.

4) Wants to be physically intimate

Intimacy is another way of showing that he loves you, without saying a word.

You may find that your sex life has improved. It can also happen that you have taken a new direction, how to become much more sensual, intense and intimate.

When a guy starts to feel an emotional connection to you, like love, it will be reflected in how he makes love to you.

5) He wants to know everything about you

Sure, he was interested in you before, but now he wants to know every little detail.

From your childhood memories, to what you think about climate change.

Learning about you is another indication that he wants to be closer to you and that he is deeply in love.

6) Opens up with you

Unfortunately, vulnerability is synonymous with weakness for some. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

According to psychologist Karen Young, showing someone your vulnerabilities and opening up to them can strengthen your relationship.

This is a sign that he loves you and is comfortable with you.

So instead of being obsessed with him not saying those two special words to you, think about how much of himself he’s willing to show you.

7) Your opinion is important to him

Does he come to you for advice?

Are you always interested in what you have to say? So this is a sign that he loves you.

Additionally, taking your opinions seriously shows that he not only loves you, but also highly respects you and values your intelligence.

8) Says “we” more than “me”

That glorious moment when he blurted out “we” probably made your heart stop, just for a second.

Once he begins to see them as “us”, instead of only thinking about him, he shows that he takes you seriously and sees you as a team.

9) He makes an effort

Does everything possible to make you smile?

Does he plan dates around things he knows you’ll love and enjoy?

It doesn’t matter how big or small the effort. This shows that he thinks of you and he wants to make you as happy as possible. He shows it with actions, rather than words.

10) He communicates with you often

When a guy really loves you, there’s no need to play games or wait around.

He communicates with you fluently. From a phone call at lunch to a goodnight text message before bed.

And if he’s going to have a busy day, he’ll let you know in the morning so you don’t worry when you don’t hear from him.

11) It is more protective

A guy who likes you will be protective of you, but a guy who loves you will show it much more.

There are many ways to protect yourself.

Shield yourself as you walk through a crowded bar or put her arm around you to keep you warm.

It can also defend you when they want to charge you more in the supermarket or in a restaurant.

If you have experienced something similar to these situations, it is a definite sign that he loves you and wants to keep you safe.

12) He likes to joke with you

A few light banter and flirtations here or there will be another way for him to show his love for you.

Whether it’s calling you by a funny but cute nickname; or affectionately mocking how you laugh.

These acts of caring show that he feels a deep connection to you.

13) He tells his friends about you

If a guy tells his friends and family about you, it’s because he’s become romantically involved with you.

Once he falls in love, he will want to tell everyone about his new girl.

That’s not to say that he might still have a hard time telling you directly.

Many times it happens that it is easier to tell your loved ones than you. You may be waiting for the right moment or you are feeling nervous and worried about how you might react.

14) He always wants to help you

Respect can be expressed in many ways. How to trust you, listen to you and be considerate of your needs.

He also shows respect, when he respects your physical and emotional boundaries, without challenging you or making you feel bad about having them.

If you do this, consider yourself lucky.

It’s one thing to be loved, but to be loved and truly respected takes things to a much deeper level.

16) Talk about the future

Talks about the future are another promising sign that he loves you.

Without love, he wouldn’t be picturing you at his family’s barbecue next week or on vacation with him at the end of the year.

It shows that he sees a future with you, revealing that he wants you by his side.

It’s not something he would do, unless he feels in love with you.

17) He likes to show you off

And I’m speaking in a good way.

Show off when you go out and hold your hand to let everyone know you’re with him. Or when he mentions and highlights your qualities with others.

It could also be that he uploads photos of himself with you on social media or invites you to his workplace, so he can introduce you to his colleagues.

After all, we enjoy showing off the things we love, right?

18) Leave small details around you

Depending on how romantic it is, you may be surprised to find a note wishing you a great day.

Perhaps you discover your favorite chocolates on the table, waiting for you when you return from work.

It could be as small as bringing you a cup of tea without your asking or buying your favorite magazine every time you go to the store.

When a man really loves a woman, it is the day-to-day details that show it, without having to use words.

19) He listens to you, even if it is not exactly in his interest

It’s normal for people to tune out after a while if someone is talking about something uninteresting.

This does not happen with a man in love.

Even when it gets really hard to concentrate, you’ll notice him nodding enthusiastically and laughing at your jokes, even though he has no idea what you’re talking about.

20) He can’t be mad at you for long

Even if you cross the line and say something that hurts him by accident, if he loves you, he won’t be able to get mad at you.

It all has to do with how he sees you now.

You are no longer just a girl he likes, but someone he loves and wants to be with.

So when there is a misunderstanding, instead of taking it personally, you will try to get over it as quickly as possible. He only cares about being in harmony with you.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean that he needs to shower you with gifts to show his love.

He invites you to your favorite restaurant every time you go out or lets you choose the movie on dates three nights in a row.

What he cannot express to you in words, he will show by making you happy.

22) He worries about seeing you upset

When you’ve had a bad day, he feels your pain and is understanding.

23) Seek to reconcile immediately

Even the happiest relationships are faced with problems and arguments. And even if you don’t believe it, this has its benefits.

The truth is that it cannot be avoided.

The best they can do is try to handle them maturely and get back together after a disagreement.

If he’s quick to seek reconciliation and move on, it’s a sure sign that he cares deeply about you and doesn’t want silly arguments to drive you away.

It is there to stand up for you and help you, when times get tough.

Although he may not tell you that he loves you, he is certainly showing it by always being there for you.

Even if you’re at the beginning of your relationship, small sacrifices like letting you have the last slice of his pizza or giving you his jacket when you’re cold show that he loves you.

After all, why would he bother if he wasn’t falling for you?

Especially if it’s something important to him. If he is willing to share, you must be very special to him.

26) He is willing to try new things

This is a really wonderful thing about love, it gives us the confidence to do things we normally would never do.

Love gives courage, so if you notice that he is making an effort to get out of his comfort zone, to try something new or something that you like, it shows that he loves you very much.
