2. His kiss
There’s no doubt that the beginning of relationships are always hot, steamy and passionate. But I’m not talking about those kinds of kisses now.
Have you read: Things to do with the person you love when you feel bored – It’s way more than SEX!
I’m referring to those light, gentle kisses on the forehead and those sweet ones on the hand — just because.
The kisses he gives you at a red light when you’re driving home together.
These little caring, protective gestures tell you that a man more than “likes” you.
A guy who’s only in ‘lust’ will kiss you with the intention of getting physical, but a guy who’s falling in love will kiss you because he can’t not.
3. His protective instincts
A man will instinctively protect the woman he loves. Whether it’s walking her across the road or making sure she gets home safely after a night out, he’ll do everything he can to keep you safe from harm.
He might put his arm around you if you’re walking in a dodgy part of town.
He might move closer to you and casually touch your hair when he sees another guy checking you out.
Of course, sometimes a man might do these things out of good old fashion chivalry, and not because he’s in love.
To find out if he’s in love or just old-fashioned, ask him.
The next time he shows his protective instincts, tell him how much you appreciate it. Then, ask him if that’s how he typically handles himself with women.
A man who’s old-fashioned and not necessarily in love is likely to say something along the lines of, “It’s just who I am,” or, “I was brought up this way.”
A man who’s falling in love, on other hand, may say something like, “I like taking care of you,” or, “I just want to make sure you’re safe.”
His actions will be motivated by feelings of love, not habit or tradition.
Keep in mind that knowing how a man feels about you (or anything else) never relies on one factor alone.
You can’t tell a man is in love with you based only on his eye contact. You need to look at all these factors in context.
As with verbal communication, it takes conscious effort to nonverbally communicate in order to create a deep connection with someone.
Everyone has their own ideal timeline for relationships. Some men take a little longer to decide whether they think a relationship can go the distance, while others like diving in first and working out how they feel later.
Either way, falling in love is a great feeling. Don’t forget to take your time and enjoy it.
