The best way to tell for sure that a man loves you is by watching his behavior. If he invests in you, prioritizes you, and takes action in life to demonstrate his affection and desire for you—then his desire is likely real.
It is helpful to remember that neurologically, men and women are roughly the same, studies have shown that men typically take around six months to make the decision that their partner is “the one.” Still, every person is unique, especially when it comes to expressions of love.
Physical attraction, sexual compatibility, empathy, and emotional connection are key to making a man fall in love with a woman.
Manipulative behavior is a major red flag in men because it implies that they are trying to control you. Manipulation typically involves someone exploiting someone else's feelings or insecurities to get what they want. They might do this by making someone feel guilty or ashamed.
Less or no communication for days and weeks is a sign that he does not love you anymore. If he constantly wants you to change yourself, it is a clear sign of losing interest in you. Even after many messes, never being sorry from his side can indicate you are no longer a priority to him.
It all comes down to their love language. And while every guy is different, men, in general, tend to prefer physical affection, quality time, and words of affirmation. Like women, men show affection in the way they most like to receive it.
He suggests his affection through his demeanor
He tends to lean toward you when he is emotionally attached to you. It means that he confides in you whenever he has any trouble and needs to vent. Usually, men open up about what they are going through only to someone they feel attached to.
In many ways, men may fall in love in a way that mimics the female experience. The early stages can involve an infatuation with someone else, which can slowly deepen into trust, compassion and deep attachment. Men may also fall in love quickly and feel a strong need for affection from their partners.
Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse in relationships. It happens when one person convinces their target that they're remembering things wrong or that they're misinterpreting events. The gaslighter is trying to manipulate the other person and presents their own thoughts and feelings as the truth.
You deserve a man who treats you very well, shows you respect and goes out of his way for you at least some of the time. Again, how he treats you is how he feels about you. You deserve to be with a man who thinks your happiness and comfort are extremely important.
Men Seek Commitment And Fidelity
When a man decides to get seriously involved, he can and will stay committed, and he expects the same from his partner. It is not enough to be committed. Let him know through your words and actions that the relationship means a lot to you.
Initiate sex
This can be a touchy subject. There are plenty of women who are married to men with low sex drives who consistently initiate sex only to get shut down by their husbands. However, almost every man we talked to said how much they loved when their wives initiated sex or wished they would.
Love evokes fond feelings and actions toward the other person, particularly. Attachment is driven by how you feel about yourself with the degree of permanence and safety someone gives you, based on your past relationships. In other words, with love, your person is “the one” you have feelings for.
For instance, if a man sees someone who acts as a support system, he could get emotionally attached because the person is there for them through thick and thin. Another factor that makes a man emotionally attached is when you become vulnerable with them.
Guys get emotionally attached to women when they express gratitude and appreciation for them. Everyone likes to feel wanted. So think about small things he does or says that mean a lot to you.
Many men value intimacy in their relationships and marriage as much as they value their lives. Intimacy to a man is fully knowing your partner's likes, dislikes, weaknesses, and strengths and being intentional in considering these as you relate.
