How do you know you are in love? 10 telltale signs that he's head over heels for you
You know
when you’re in love, right?
It’s
something so tangible and real, there’s no way it could be anything else. But
how do you know for sure if the guy you’re dating feels the same way about you?
While it can be difficult to tell exactly what he’s thinking or feeling when he
tells you that he loves you back, there are telltale signs that your guy isn’t
just going through the motions with you but truly loves and adores everything
about you—even your flaws!
10 telltale signs that he's head over heels for you
#1
He doesn't like anyone else
It is not
just time and a lot of chit-chat. If he is romantically interested in you, it
means more than him just telling you about his ex-girlfriends or how other
girls ask him out on dates. He likes to talk about your future together with
YOU. It’s all about YOU! This does not mean that your relationship has to be
exclusive already, but if he tells stories about other girls, it will probably
always be kind of awkward and uncomfortable. Chances are: he would never be
able to get rid of his old flame.
#2
He does things for you
You might
notice little things, like him going out of his way to bring your favorite
beverage from Starbucks or making plans to spend time with you. But, it could
also be a larger gesture, like booking a weekend getaway together. If your guy
does something nice for you, there’s a pretty good chance he is falling for you
hard! He wants to make sure you’re happy and if that means spending more money
on dates, then so be it. It’s easy to say I love spending time with my
partner—just as long as it doesn’t cost me anything!
#3
He'd wait forever for you
When someone
is interested, they want to see you as soon as possible. They'll check their
schedule constantly because they're counting down until they can spend time
with you. Love is patient. If your guy wants to be with you, but just doesn't
have it in his schedule, then it isn't love...yet. Be patient and don't take
any lack of time together personally—if he cares about you, he'll find a way to
make it work.
#4
You can talk about anything together
Love is a
conversation, says life coach and relationship expert, Samantha Burns. We get
so focused on the heat of 'falling' and our heart beating fast that we forget
about making room to have conversations about what matters most. The way to
know whether or not your love is real, she adds, is through communication. If
there's no meaningful dialogue between you two now—and you're not having these
deep talks—then it might be a sign of love at first sight (also known as lust).
#5
He wants to spend time with your friends
Love at
first sight may be an illusion, but if your love interest is starting to show a
genuine interest in spending time with your friends and family, it’s one of
those subtle signs of love that should grab your attention. Sure, not everyone
will want to spend their Valentine’s Day alongside people they can barely
tolerate. If someone wants to get to know more about your circle—and asks how
else they can participate—take notice! That said, if all other factors fail...
just use some of these romantic texts on him tonight! :) (Note: Just click each

#6
He’d rather be with you than anyone else
If your man
would rather watch a movie with you than hang out with his buddies, it’s a sign
of love. He puts his time and energy into making sure that your relationship is
strong, even if it means sacrificing some free time or hanging out with his
friends. If he’d rather be with you than anyone else—and shows it—then there’s
a pretty good chance that he’s head over heels for you.
#7
He sacrifices his own happiness to make yours happen
When you’re
around, he feels more alive than ever before. He wants to be with you more than
anything and will sometimes forego his own happiness if it means making yours
possible. In fact, an act of sacrifice is often how a man shows love at first
sight. The realization may come slowly but eventually sinks in that someone has
stolen your heart – but only because they gave their own away first. This type
of connection is priceless and one worth holding onto no matter what obstacles
come your way.
#8
It's all about you, baby
When your
significant other is just as focused on making you happy as they are on
themselves, it’s usually a sign of true love. That’s because people who are
truly and madly in love with someone put their romantic partner first – not out
of guilt or social obligation, but because it makes them happy to see their
lover pleased. This can manifest itself in a number of ways, such as listening
to your date rant about work all night or driving to another city for a concert
together. Love works like fertilizer: It helps people grow, blossom and thrive.
So if your boo is gung-ho about helping make you feel special every day, then
guess what: You're likely really crazy about him too!
#9
He likes taking care of your needs (even though he won't admit it)
If a guy is
smitten with you, he'll often want to make sure you're happy and well-taken
care of. After all, if there's someone out there who needs him—and only him—to
be happy and comfortable, then that person must be pretty special. If your
boyfriend cooks dinner, hangs out with your friends without complaining (unless
his humor is like totally off), picks up after himself around your place (even
though it drives him crazy), holds open doors for you and generally takes care
of whatever makes you feel good, then all of those things are subtle ways of
letting you know how much he cares about making sure that your life is better
because of him. The best part? He doesn't have to say anything at all!
#10
The smile on his face says it all.
Yes, it’s a
cheesy gesture, but when a guy smiles at you all pearly-white and then talks to
you with such earnestness (and happiness) that others can’t help but notice. It
doesn’t matter if he was previously frowning or smiling or looking blank. When
a man loves you, his face lights up every time he sees you. It doesn’t really
matter what expression is on his face beforehand as long as it is replaced by
joy when he sees yours.
