"Find someone who will love you for your differences, not in spite of them, and you will find the love of your life." - Leo Buscaglia
Men and women think differently. Love and affection are shown in different ways. In general, women are more sensitive and flexible. On the other hand, men have certain behaviors that they show towards a woman they truly love.
A man who loves…
... listens
Women are much more patient when it comes to listening than men. Some men act as if everything they hear goes in one ear and out the other. Men will always focus only on things that interest them. So, when a man not only hears you, but pays attention to what you say and responds to what he hears (active listening), you can be sure that he respects and loves you.
... he will sacrifice himself
A man who loves also feels a lot of discomfort at the thought that his woman is unhappy, especially if there is something he can do. For this reason, making sacrifices for his partner's happiness is one of the ways he shows his love to her. This means that for a woman, he will leave his comfort zone whenever necessary.
... will show his vulnerability
Men are very wary of expressing behavior that others may perceive as weakness. But when a man loves, he doesn't care when he's with the woman he loves.
... is proud of you
When he truly loves, it is not difficult to tell him how proud he is of his woman. Anything you're great at doesn't go unnoticed. In fact, all the wonderful things you do fill him with pride and joy.
… fights for you
He will never miss an opportunity to defend you and stand by you when you are right. In fact, he will never let anyone hurt you. He will do everything in his power to ensure that you never find yourself in such a situation.
... behaves respectfully
Whether it's family members or friends (of whom he doesn't have the best opinion), he will still treat them with respect. Because he knows how important these people are to you. Of course, it will alert you if it notices that one of them has "bad influence" on you. But he will only do this because he loves you and doesn't want you to get hurt.
