7 Signs He Really Loves You, Even When He Doesn't Say The Words

Jan 10, 2018 by apost team

Women love to talk about love, expecting their guy to say "I love you" as often as they do. But they are often disappointed. The average guy would rather roll around in poison ivy than talk about his feelings. Men don't want to talk about their relationships with anyone, even the women they love. This doesn't mean he doesn't love you, deeply and completely. It's possible he has never said "I love you" to anyone in his entire life. If he loves you, he'll eventually say the words.

Until then, look at his actions. To a guy, actions are what matter, not words. We did a little research and uncovered seven common behaviors that show he's in love, even without the words.

A man in love wants to do all he can to make his lady happy and is willing to make great sacrifices for her. In a fulfilling and lasting relationship, each gladly sacrifices for the other. When your man does something for you, whether it's something grand or doing the dishes, he's telling you he loves you. Sacrificing for the one you love is selfless and takes maturity. It shouldn't be a one-way street.

Women are typically better listeners than men. If your guy really listens to you, he's a keeper. This is particularly true if he doesn't give his full attention to many people. This can be demonstrated in countless small ways. If you've said you love lilies but aren't fond of roses and he gives you lilies for Valentine's Day, he heard what you said. If he remembers you talking about something you've always wanted to do and makes it happen, he's deeply in love.

Men don't like to expose their vulnerabilities. Perhaps it's genetic, but men normally want to appear strong at all times. Perhaps this is why so many guys put off going to the doctor as long as possible and make terrible patients. One of the truest signs of love from a man is when he begins to expose his inner feelings and what he considers weaknesses. This shows that he really trusts you above all others. It can take quite a while before this happens, but letting his guard down is a true sign of love. (Don't ever betray this trust - it could destroy the relationship.)

You probably tried on sixteen outfits before your first date and continued to always look your best as time went on. Eventually, when you begin spending more and more time together, the day comes when you just look awful. Perhaps you're sick or simply tired and sweaty. It doesn't matter to a guy in love. He accepts you and loves you however you look. Men celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary have often said, "She looks as beautiful to me now as on the day we met." Men appreciate the effort their woman makes to look her best, but love the real woman underneath the pretty clothes and makeup.

If you've ever heard a man brag about his lady, you can be sure he really loves her. He's proud of the woman he loves. When he tells a friend about how smart you are, how great you cook or what a wonderful mom you are, he's saying "I love you and I'm proud of you." Treasure these words. Be proud of him also.

If your guy doesn't stick up for you, this doesn't always mean he doesn't love you. Sometimes a guy thinks it's family or friend drama and you don't need his help. However, when it's important, a man who loves you will stick up for you and always have your back.

When a man loves you, he'll respect the other relationships that are important to you. This doesn't mean he'll like all of those people, but he'll be civil and show respect. He doesn't want unnecessary conflict with others to damage his relationship with you. It could happen that someone you care about doesn't really care about you. If he sees someone hurting you, even if it's someone you care about, he'll be conflicted between protecting you and respecting that person. In all likelihood, he'll choose to protect you out of love.

Does you guy display any of these seven signs? These are acts of love. He may never say "I love you" as often as you'd like, but he will let his actions speak for him. If the man you love shows all seven, he could be "the one."
