Love is truly magical, especially when it comes to men who know how to express their affection in wonderfully unexpected ways. If you've ever wondered if your man really loves you, look no further - here's a list of small but important actions that will help clear up your doubts. And no, we are not talking about the classic "I love you" declarations or flowers every Friday - love is in the actions he does only for the woman he truly loves.
A real man knows that love is not just words, but actions that speak louder than a thousand "I love you". Your prince on a white horse may not always be perfect, but when he does these things, you can safely say that he truly loves you. Ready? Let's see what those priceless gestures are that you will definitely notice in your chosen one.
1. He really listens to you
When a man loves, your voice sounds like a symphony to him. Not only will he nod and say “uh-huh” when you speak, but he will really listen to you – with his eyes, heart and ears. He'll take your advice, value your opinions, and remember little things like your favorite flavor of ice cream or which series made you laugh last. In a world where we are all in a hurry, attention is worth its weight in gold.
2. He argues with you
Love fights are not always bad. When a man argues with you, it shows that he cares and wants to improve the relationship. A real man takes the time to resolve disagreements because your happiness is his first priority. So the next time you're having a heated argument about who left the toilet lid up, remember - this is love in action!
3. You are his priority
If your man changes his plans just to be with you, you know he really loves you. This is one of the greatest signs of true love. Was he planning a night out with friends? He will trade them for a romantic candlelit evening with you. He'll come get you in the middle of the night if need be. It's that real, committed act of love that lets you know where his priorities lie.
4. Fight for your love
The love of a real man is not stopped by rain or snow. When he loves you, he will do anything to keep you by his side. Even if that means going through a snowstorm or swimming the ocean (or at least the local pool) to be there for you when you need him. Regardless of the challenges, he will stand by you like a real hero, fighting for your love.
5. He proudly celebrates your successes
When a man loves, he is proud of your achievements as if they were his own. There is no competition, only joy and support. Your promotions, your small and big successes - they are all an opportunity for him to show off his super woman. He won't miss an opportunity to cheer you on and support you like your biggest fan.
6. You are always beautiful to him
A real man sees you beautiful even on your worst days. When he loves, your appearance doesn't matter - you are always beautiful to him. When he looks at you without make-up, in old pajamas with a piece of pizza in his hand and says you are the most beautiful in the world, he means it. In his eyes, you are a star that shines every moment, no matter what.
7. He accepts your family and friends
A man who loves you will respect and appreciate the people who are close to you, because he knows that they are part of your life. He'll sit at dinner with your parents, listen to your brother explain his latest hobby, and try to catch up with your best friend even though he doesn't understand her sense of humor. He does all this because he knows how important these people are to you.
8. He's not afraid to be vulnerable
Men usually don't show vulnerability, but when he loves you, he's not afraid to show his feelings and his fear of losing you. When he confesses his fears, problems and dreams to you, he opens his heart wide to you. That's true love when he dares to be vulnerable because he knows you'll be there to support him and stand by him.
Love is in the little things and these signs reveal how much you mean to him. If you notice them, then you know you've found the right one.
