When He/She Understands

No matter what, does your partner always try to see your side of things? When he/she sees you upset and crying about something, do they try to understand and calm you down to make you feel better. This is a sign that they love you.

They Show You

Some people, especially men have trouble expressing their feelings with words. So, sometimes, you just have to watch the way they act around you. Understanding you and taking you to dinner because you have had a long day is a sure sign.

They Listen

When you talk, do they listen to you? Do they always look interested in what you have to say? Or do they have the television going while you are trying to listen? If they listen to what you have to say and always look interested in you, then it may be good timing.

They’re Always Happy around You

Do they smile? Laugh? Do they get excited when you are around and would rather spend time with you over their friends? Then this is a good sign that they love you too.

Compliments

Whenever you change something about your appearance, do they notice and compliment you? Do they tell you how good you look, even when they catch you at 4am after waking up?

Famous Quotes

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.

Niccolò Machiavelli

Baby You when You’re Sick

Do they care that you are ill and goes out of their way to baby you? If the answer is yes, then we’re pretty sure you have something good going for you.

The Family and Friends like You

If the circle of friends like you, then this is a good sign. You can usually tell how a person feels from the way the circle of friends and family treat you.

They Appreciate You

If they tell you how proud they are of the achievements you have made and brags about you to the friends and family, then this is a lovely signal. It is a sign of deep appreciation of you.

Your Opinion Counts

Asking your opinion and advice is wonderful news. This means he or she cares about what you think and obviously plans on having you around for awhile.

They Are Interested in What You Want Too

You both are sitting down watching television and you would like to watch House while he wants to Watch the gaming channel. If they let you watch your show without grudging over it, then it is because they want you to be happy. If they sit through that show with you, then they deserve to have some extra points!

They Make You Feel Special

Do they bring you flowers and show that they really care about you? If so, then this one sounds like a keeper.

When He/She Says I Love You

The right time to say I love you is definitely when they speak those three words before you!

Finding the right time to say I love you can be tough, but sometimes, you can’t fight back your feelings and it just pops out of your mouth. If this happens, then it is your heart telling you that it is time to say it and you should listen to that heart. Have you ever been let down after you spoke those three words?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I agree with both of you. I don't know if I deliberately wait for them to say it first or if they like Amy says just beat me to it. The worst part is when you're not sure if you do or not and then you're like...umm...thank you. :D

I was contacted by a woman that I dated before. We have been intimate since that contact. The reason why we lost contact was because I told her I loved her. Now I am scared to tell her because I am afraid she might leave again. We were never intimate before and she tells me she will call me before or after work and sometime she does and sometime she doesn't I know she has a lot on her plate so I don't push the issue. Sometimes I feel like I am being ignored or that I am way down the priority list. This is making it more difficult to utter the I Love You words. I think she feels the same way but I cannot bear to lose her again. So do I wait and see or am I destined to pins and needles and possibly lose her If I wait too long?

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 6 months now. Strong friendship before hand and everything and my absolutely in love with him. He hints at saying the L word but i dont know if its really the right time to fully come out and say it. What do i do?

What happens when they have all of this and do it all but your still unsure?

I know this girl for over three months. We ve been speakin to eachother almost every day since then trying to understand . I am so sure that i am in love with this girl. We understand eachother and believe to be and act mature and sensible too. We ve both been victims of breakups on a previous relationship . So we both are also equally afraid to get into one soon after it.But still I recently let her know that i love her for which she responded saying that she feels it may just be some sort of attraction or fondness i have got towards her. And also stated that she may not be in a position to focus on any serious relationship right now and asked me not to expect the same from her. I am uncertain about this whole situation please advise .. I need your help for some clarity over this matter !

i really want to hear him say he loves me we have been dating for almost 5 months i had a problem that i need to go to the hospital and called him i ended up being ok but he was really worried i could tell he cares but its been hard because i have been hurt a lot of times and i found a good guy i don't want to loose him if i said it but he said it in a way and i pretended that i didn't hear it and then 2 hours later i asked him did he say he loved me he said yes and then said not like that but my feelings are strong and growing i don't know what to do

hi everyone, I feel like this is the first time that I am really coming out with my feelings about my boyfriend so bear with me. ive been in relationships in the past but the only one ive ever fallen for was my first boyfriend and I thought maybe that was just because he was my first boyfriend... until now. now I am dating this guy for 4 1/2 months and I told him during an argument that this is all stressful because I am falling for him or maybe already fell for him, im not sure, and he admitted that I liked him more than he liked me. that was about a month and a half ago, but within the past week and a half he has been telling me that he likes me more than I like him. does this mean he loves me? im so confused... I thought girls were supposed to be the confusing ones.
