Girls and women, regardless of age or marital status, always want to know the signs of a man in love. Some, attributing non-existent signs to them, make the mistake of expecting an adult to behave in the same way as a young man.
Others, not paying attention to the development of reciprocity, miss the clear symptoms of increased attention and ardent interest.
How to understand that a man is in love
Surely, there is not a single woman who at least once did not feel interest from the opposite sex and did not realize that this was the reason for the birth of fire and deep sympathy. Changes are detected in the behavior of a man in love.
They can be significant and conspicuous. In other cases, they are marked by hints and new shades. They are noticeable in behavior, facial expressions, body position, speech, and attitude. Someone is waiting for loud words and does not notice the gentle care, special attention, tenderness that shines through in every action.
The main signs of a man in love
It is enough to be attentive, and the signs that someone is in love with you will become obvious. Try paying attention to the following:
Sincere interest
- Ready to listen to everything you say. He hears and remembers the thoughts and events described, at a time when anyone else would have already switched off and assented only for appearances. He is not indifferent to your fate and interests.
- He likes to be with you, visit boring institutions, go shopping, stand in lines. Doesn't see anything strange in interests. He will pursue you as you are.
- He is ready to ask your opinion about the clothes he buys. I would like you to appreciate its taste and be able to admire it.
Compliance, showing concern
- The interested person is ready to give in, admit that he is wrong, step on the throat of stubbornness, and allow his partner to make a choice.
- The desire to communicate with the relatives of the beloved, regardless of their character and preferences, even if they always ask when the wedding will take place.
- Ready to help, look for a solution to the problem yourself, or using someone else's help. Takes responsibility and demonstrates that you can rely on him.
- Even on those days when the beloved does not look her best, she discovers swelling, bags, pimples on her face, the lover accepts her. He realizes that this is a temporary phenomenon, and is able to discern the beauty and depth of the personality of a dear person behind external problems.
Plans for spending time together
- Despite the fact that he is used to planning only at work, and at home he gives in to spontaneous desires and listens only to the voice of reason, when a man is in love, he begins to plan trips and dates. Showing initiative creates a feeling of care and comfort.
- The desire to truly make a sacrifice. He can cancel his usual evening with colleagues, a game of tennis, or rush from another city when his beloved is not feeling well.
- Any victory of a girl does not give rise to jealousy in a guy, but a desire to be proud of her and admire her.
- The lover accepts his beloved and himself as he is. Feel free to cry, show pity, be sad, be sad.
- He tends to fight for love. A quarrel does not cause an intention to leave, does not hide in a computer or phone, but tries to calm the partner down, figure out why the conflict occurred, convince her to make peace, and help her calm down. I am inclined to look for a way to approach her tenderly and softly.
- When a man is in love, he is ready to protect his beloved from any pain.
- Tries to be reliable. He may not have the intention of getting married right away, but this does not deprive him of the ability to be faithful, even if the couple faces separation.
There is not a word in what is described that the bouquet period may be interesting. Any woman wants to be carried in her arms and given flowers. But this characterizes more youthful love than a real, deep feeling.
A warm scarf, hot tea in bad weather, an unusual surprise could mean more than a bouquet of roses or an invitation to the cinema to see the latest release. You can call and ask how you are doing, wish you a good day, be interested in work, answer a million calls - this will be the attention you need sometimes.
Behavior of a man in love
A girl in love is unlikely to be able to analyze the actions of a man. She often perceives him as a holistic image. There are features that cannot go unnoticed.
Speech | Facial expressions | Body |
He begins to get nervous, and at the same time he stutters and loses the fluency of his speech, as if a boy were speaking. | His eyes are directed at the woman who arouses his interest. This feature is characteristic at the moment when he managed to interest the surrounding circle of people, to interest them. Even a stranger looks at her furtively, catches her movements, tends to constantly glance in her direction, peer intently. | In the presence of the object of passion, a man in love usually does not know where to put his hands. A commonly used way to cope with anxiety is to put your hands in your pockets, but keep your thumb out. The second way is to hide your fingers behind the belt or touch it. Sometimes he touches his neck. |
The voice becomes quieter. | When meeting, a soft smile appears on your face. | The toes are usually turned towards the female half of interest to him. |
Some words are not pronounced clearly. | In the gaze of a man in love there is confusion, joy, tenderness, perhaps embarrassment. | The desire to physiologically shorten the distance. |
The speech is emotionally charged. | The emotion in the eyes and at the moment when he smiles is the same. | The desire to touch your beloved at every opportunity - to straighten a coat, remove a speck, straighten your hair. First of all, he strives to touch his face. Touching feels spontaneous. |
Changing the timbre of your voice. | For one moment at the first visual contact, the eyebrows rise and the eyes widen. | Young men may experience fussiness and a clammy hand. The face becomes red or, conversely, pale. |
Use of poems and words from songs. | Increase in size of nostrils. | The desire to stand taller, to turn your shoulder, to take a deep breath. |
Tries to make everyone laugh, and, most importantly, the object of passion. | Trembling lips, slightly open mouth, licking lips. | Unconscious repetition of the movements of the object of passion. |
You can feel the energy coming through from every word and phrase. | Open pose. | |
Slight body swaying. | ||
Hands on your sides demonstrate a desire to stand out. |
The degree of expression of these traits depends on the type, temperament, character. Secretive people usually have good control over speech and emotions. Falling in love can be indicated by a change in the topic of conversation or some habits.
Signs of a man in love do not include aggression or the desire to subjugate. The discovery of these properties speaks more about a tendency to dominate than about the depth of feeling.
Sight
A lover always looks at his object of adoration in a special way, with a certain admiration, no matter how many strangers are nearby - most often the gaze is directed specifically at a specific person. If you respond in kind (“shoot your eyes” in response), the secret prince usually looks away. You can clearly see that at this moment his eyes seem to “shine” ; you can see those very sparks that are often written about in women’s magazines.
Innate female intuition will not lose sight of such signs of attention and is unlikely to confuse them with something else. Such a sign of passion is sometimes not just directed in your direction, but according to a similar principle, it switches its attention to the same place where you are looking with interest.
In psychology, this phenomenon is often called “eating with the eyes,” since such a detailed examination of your entire figure and movements is done in order to preserve the image of your beloved lady in your memory.
How to understand that a man wants a woman?
The desire to go to bed and experience sexual pleasure is often disguised as a deep relationship. Psychologists identify signs of falling in love that make it possible to distinguish between real intimacy and the desire for intimacy:
- Tendency to compare a friend with others;
- “Undressing”, appraising, greedy gaze, devoid of tenderness;
- Cheeky manner of speaking;
- Constant desire to give advice on how to lose weight, grow hair, dye it;
- Inability to discuss anything for a long time and purposefully, or to enjoy communication;
- Having satisfied sexual desire, a man falls asleep or begins to move away;
- Tendency to ignore the girl’s interests and desires;
- Reluctance to make efforts to satisfy her interests;
- Indifference, tendency to part easily;
- The stage of interest quickly passes.
Another sign that a man just wants a woman is the inevitable feeling of emptiness in his soul after physical intimacy.
And yet, if a man is in love, if he is a normal man, he will experience sexual desire for the object of passion. This will be expressed in the desire to hug, take a woman’s hand, or put her hands on the woman’s shoulders. Check - take his hand, if he holds your hand in his, if, as if unconsciously, you feel a squeeze or stroking - this man wants you.
Trespassing
The man seems to be invading your personal space. The well-known “arm's length distance”, to which we usually allow only close relatives and well-known people, is the main goal for your admirer. This is how he tries to demonstrate his desire to get closer and start a more intimate relationship.
An attempt to create tactile contact is manifested in seemingly random touches, light hugs, a hand on the waist and similar manifestations of tenderness.
If a man hides his feelings, check if he is in love
Sometimes men tend to hide how they feel about a lady. They do this for various reasons:
- Afraid to open up;
- They see competition from competitors that are stronger, from their point of view;
- Confused;
- They are disappointed with themselves, since falling in love, in their opinion, is the opposite of masculinity.
To determine and feel if he is in love, you can do the following:
- Ask him to tell him about what is happening to him if the girl has known him for a long time.
- Observe nonverbal characteristics.
- Wait, don’t try to find out the reason for the changes with the help of other people, don’t challenge him for a frank conversation with jokes.
- Support rapprochement with a smile and goodwill. Perhaps he was afraid of his attitude towards you.
- Don't try to make someone jealous. This may have the opposite effect.
When he continues to shy away, is not inclined to show open interest, does not take a step forward, it is worth thinking about the fact that this may be a sign indicating the presence of psychological deviations, a desire for deification, and a lack of interest in developing real deep relationships.
Maybe he is afraid of making a mistake if he has already experienced deception when the girl, showing signs of love, felt nothing.
Drastic changes
You can always tell when a man is in love. A strong release of hormones leads to a sharp change in behavior. For example, a well-groomed, very sociable and self-confident handsome man suddenly becomes timid and unsure of himself. And most often, a sharp change occurs precisely at the sight of the object of love. Or, on the contrary, a quiet, calm and reasonable guy suddenly begins to do unpredictable things and becomes just a tomboy. All this can be explained quite simply. When a man sees his beloved, a huge set of chemicals enters the body from the brain: adrenaline, pheromones, dopamine, etc. They radically change a person’s behavior.
How to please a man - advice from M. Labkovsky
A specialist in the field of psychology, Mikhail Labkovsky, who uses the method of practical consultation, has identified several principles on how to please a man. He bases them on practical experience.
Among these principles:
- A woman should be herself. There is no point in pretending to be someone else. The truth will always be discovered, and lying will never lead to anything good.
- The male libido is formed on the basis of the image of the mother, he will be attracted to women who resemble maternal characteristics. Which? It's hard to say. Try to carefully ask him why he loves his mother most. However, you should not imitate her if you are completely different. See point 1.
- Most men love self-sufficiency and individuality. They are ready to try for the sake of their loved ones, but there is one condition - the latter must be sufficiently independent, capable of appreciating their partner, his character, and worldview.
- A woman should like herself. Lack of self-respect and self-acceptance leads to the fact that a man sees this and begins to treat her the same way she treats herself.
As you can easily see, neither appearance, nor age, nor character are mentioned. The author considers these characteristics not very important.
Change of worldview
This point is sometimes difficult to notice right away, however, it also takes place in the life of a passionate man if he has always been considered an emotional person. A guy in love radically changes his habits, becomes more cheerful, easy-going, takes initiative more often and generally tries to become No. 1 in your general environment from now on. Such a cheerful mood indicates that in such a state the admirer is capable of the most daring act.
During a period of such admiration, men often commit adventurous and unexpected actions that were previously completely atypical for them. When a young man tries to show his high intelligence or excellent sense of humor in the presence of his chosen one, he probably likes you a lot.
This signal must be assessed as a whole, since it is difficult for a company to immediately understand who such a show performed by a man is intended for. It is possible that such enthusiasm may be directed towards a completely different lady.
At the same time, he distinguishes you from all other people quite openly: he praises you for the work you have done, often sets you as an example, and admires your skills and knowledge. Similar interest extends to other areas. The admirer tries to actively participate in conversations that interest you, and “accidentally” appears in places where the object of affection is often located, even if his usual location there is completely inappropriate.
Falling in love and temperament
Temperament influences how affection is expressed.
An introvert will experience feelings within himself. External signs will be stingy and limited. They are very embarrassed by those around them. The main meaning, in an attempt to recognize an attitude, must be given to facial expressions and care.
In some cases, introverts will feel bad about themselves for not being able to express hidden feelings. Others may reveal them rarely, but in an original way. They can talk about them in words from their favorite song or poem. Sometimes correspondence helps.
Shyness will not allow you to talk about your relationship sincerely and openly. This does not mean that everything is calm inside them; sometimes the internal fire is very strong.
Extroverts behave differently when they fall in love. They tend to:
- Draw attention to yourself;
- Boast, embellish actions;
- Frankly enjoy communication.
Comments from sexologists and psychologists
Most experts are sure that the beginning of relationships between the sexes is trust and care for each other. Without this, any relationship may turn out to be a hobby that hurts both partners.
Many factors influence how a relationship will continue. Among them:
- Age;
- Stage;
- Experience in love relationships, disappointment in a previous partner, past marriage, divorce, separation, what kind of husband he was, experienced betrayal;
- Fear of falling in love again;
- Temperament;
- Fear of being rejected;
- What he gives preference to - passion, recklessness or inner peace;
- Is he amorous by nature?
