How Do I Know He Loves Me?

Men can be pretty closed off when it comes to feelings. Ever since women were little girls they've dreamed of a fairy tale romance where their knight in shining armor carries them away. How can you know he loves you? Here are a few major clues he may not even realize you're observing.

If your man seems closed off, take a moment to observe him and see just how much he really loves you. Most men are few with words so you have to rely on his behavior and actions to detect true love.

Reaching Out

A quick phone call or text, a message or comment on your social network wall. Chances are, he's leaving subtle clues to his true feelings about you. They may not seem like the most romantic but then, he may not be good at sharing his true feelings. It's an art that's learned through experience, not one that most men are born with.

Telling You

Many men can't seem to bring themselves to say the words "I Love You". It's not that they don't love you, it's that the words seem almost foreign to them. Perhaps they were raised that love is a very private thing. Perhaps their parents never said those words in front of them. Whatever the cause, some men simply don't make that declaration out loud. But, they do show their love in their actions. Maybe he opens the car doors for you. Maybe he insists on pushing the grocery cart. Perhaps he admires you in his eyes and they sparkle when he looks at you. Often, he thinks if you're seeing these things, you know he loves you.

Family and Friends

Men hate to be scrutinized. If he is uncomfortable with your friends and family it's because he doesn't know them. Try introducing them only a few at a time and letting him get to know them more subtly. If he continues to want to meet more of your family great, if not, leave it as is and introduce others as required at family events.

If you feel loved by him, in spite of his lack of words, then it doesn't really matter if he says it or not. Sure, the words are nice to hear, but you can ask him to tell you "I Love You" at bedtime and in the morning and call it good the rest of the time. You can think back to all of the nice and special things he does for you and count yourself among the very loved indeed and call it good. Not all men will share out loud, some of them are simply much more private
