You’ve been in your romantic relationship for sometime now and have begun to wonder if your boyfriend could potentially be “The One.” Swept up in the romance of it all, fantasies about long-term love or marriage can be difficult to deal with. The following are twelve signs that will help you to sort through your reflections and exciting thoughts about the man who just may be the love your life.
- He understands. He always tries to see your side of things. This means that even if he’s seen you get upset or cry about something a hundred times before, he still tries to calm you down and makes you feel better.
- He tells you. Oh those three special words, the words some men have major trouble saying. Well, if he says them often, count yourself lucky. Hearing him say “I love you,” and knowing he means every word, is proof that he’s one of a kind.
- He shows you. We all know most men have trouble expressing their feelings with words. So, sometimes they use other forms of expression. Forms of expression include taking you out for dinner when he thinks you need a break from cooking or understanding that you might need some time to yourself. While you may like to hear those sweet whispers of affection from him, it’s a fact that actions speak louder than words.
- He listens to you. Is he genuinely interested in what you’re saying when you talk to him? Does he give you his undivided attention during your conversations instead of having the television blaring in the background? It’s an important sign if he shows he’s really concerned about your feelings and especially what you have to say.
- He’s happy around you. Are there smiles? Is there laughter? Excited to spend time with you and not his guy friends? Glad just to be with you? If he can’t get enough of you, it’s a sure sign that he’s really attracted and in love.
- He compliments you. He notices when you change something about your appearance. He appreciates when you take the time to look great. When he looks you up and down admiringly with a little smile and tells you how beautiful you are, you know you matter.
