1. He Goes out of His Way for You
Does he go out of his way for you? Sure, he could always take a shortcut, but does he go that extra mile just because it is something that will make you happy? If so, then this is a sure sign that you have a guy who is falling for you!
***
When a man truly cares, your needs become his priority. If he's making detours just to fetch your favorite coffee or driving extra miles to see you, even when it's out of his way, these actions say a lot. It's not about grand gestures all the time; it’s the thoughtfulness in his steps that counts. Whether it’s listening patiently to your day or staying up late to help you with a project, his efforts are a testament to his growing affection. These little sacrifices are his way of showing you're important to him.
2. He Loves Spending Time with You
It just goes without saying that when you’re in love, you enjoy spending time with the person you are in love with. Instead of going out with his buddies, does he decide to spend time with you? Instead of doing one of his favorite hobbies, would he prefer spending time with you doing one of your favorite hobbies? If so, then watch out...he may just be falling for you!
Frequently asked questions
Oh, you'll know! He'll start showing interest in your life, making more time for you, and genuinely caring about you. Those little gestures and changes in his behavior are tell-tale signs.
Stay calm and think about your feelings too. If you feel the same way, let him know. If not, it's important to be honest and gentle with your response.
Absolutely! When a guy is into you, his body language changes. He'll maintain eye contact, face you directly, and might even mirror your actions.
Guarded guys are a bit tougher to read, but they'll slowly let their walls down and share more about themselves, trusting you with their thoughts and feelings.
Work romances can be tricky, but if the signs are there, like special attention or wanting to spend time outside work, you might have a lovestruck colleague. Consider your feelings and workplace dynamics before moving forward.
3. He Smiles at You
Sure, guys smile...especially when they are trying to get some and I put that one lightly. However, you can tell a caring smile from a flirty smile. Does he smile at you with that twinkle in his eye? That smile is definitely something to look into.
***
One way to tell if a guy is falling in love with you is by paying attention to his smile. A genuine smile can reveal a lot about someone's feelings. If he smiles at you with a twinkle in his eye, it could be a sign that he truly cares about you. Additionally, research shows that when people are in love, they tend to smile more often and their smiles are more intense and genuine. So if you notice that he can't stop smiling when he's around you, it could be a strong indication that he's falling in love with you.
4. He Can Talk with You for a Long Time
Guys do not like to "talk things through" when they're upset. Many guys don’t like to talk at all. However, when they find a girl that they enjoy spending time with, they feel as if they could talk for a very long time. What is the longest you and your boyfriend have ever spent talking?
5. He Doesn’t Act as if He Controls You
When a guy acts as if he controls you, it is not love. That my friend is obsession. Trust me, I have been there and done that. If on the other hand, the guy acts as if he does not control you and tells you that you are free to do what you want (just don’t date other guys), then this is a sign that he wants you to himself and is in love with you.
6. He Gets You Gifts
Sure, every guy can get a girl a gift. However, if he gets you gifts AND matches some of my signs, then you may have yourself a keeper. What gifts has your boyfriend gotten you? The more special the gifts, the more you mean to him. Maybe a diamond ring is in the future!
7. He Offers to Take You out to Dinner and a Movie
If the guy would rather take you out to dinner and a movie every Friday than spend time with his friends clubbing, he may be in love with you. It's even better if he lets you pick the movie and is more than happy to watch whatever you pick even if it is a chick flick. Needless to say, this is a two way street and sometimes you should go watch his kind of movies as well. It'll make him happier and make him fall in love with you even more.
8. He Passionately Makes Love to You
Okay girls, I do not know if you have noticed, but there is a difference between having sex and making love. When someone makes love to you, when they are in love with you, you can practically feel their soul. How has the sex been? Intimate or do you just cut to the chase?
***
Making love is an art form, a dance where every touch and kiss is infused with emotion, telling a story far deeper than words ever could. If he's deeply connected during your intimate moments, cherishing your responses, and taking the time to discover what brings you pleasure, it's a telltale sign. It's about quality over quantity, the slow buildup of passion, where every gesture is drenched in love and desire, and you are the absolute center of his universe. In these moments, love is not just an act, but a shared, soulful experience.
9. He Loves “Cuddle Time”
Okay, okay, when a guy is not in love with a girl, they generally do not like cuddle time. Cuddle time is the time where the two of you hold one another and talk. You know, share the fondest memories together, talk about your lives, your past, even silly stuff that you can't share with everyone. Is that something that the guy in your life enjoys doing or can he not wait to get his clothes on and flee?
***
If he's making the extra effort to snuggle up and cherishes those intimate moments, it's a big sign he’s falling for you. Real connection isn't just about the physical; it’s about opening up emotionally. During cuddle time, if he listens attentively and values every word you say, you can bet he’s really into you. It’s in these quiet, personal moments that feelings deepen and bonds strengthen. So if he is initiating and sustaining these cozy sessions, he’s definitely smitten.
10. He Tells You He Loves You
Okay, why not cut to the chase and just say “I love you?” Many guys will not tell a girl that they love them if they do not really mean it. If they tell you that they love you and want to be with you for a long time and they match the signs of some of my other tips, then you may have a guy who is actually in love with you!
11. You Know You Can Trust Him and He Trusts You
I have this gut instinct of who I can trust and who I cannot trust. If you are the same way and you feel as if you can trust him, then that is perfect. If he trusts you in return, even better. Trust is a must have in every loving relationship.
***
This deep-seated confidence in one another creates a rock-solid foundation for your bond. It's that unspoken security that allows both of you to be your authentic selves, without fear of judgment or betrayal. When promises are held sacred and secrets are safe between you, it’s a surefire sign that love is blossoming. You’ll find comfort in the reliability and consistency of your partner, and this mutual trust will only propel your relationship to greater heights. Isn’t it just wonderful to have that peace of mind?
12. You Can Just Tell
When a guy is in love with you and is falling head over heels for you, you can just tell! Face it, he has that smile and all of the other signs of being in love. He has that look in his eyes when he looks at you. He sighs a happy sigh when he sees you. And when he hugs you it seems like he never wants to let go and you believe it when he says "I can't believe how lucky I am to have you in my arms". That my friend is definitely a sign that he is in love with you and that is why I put it at number one.
13. He Really Opens up to You
A classic sign of love from a guy’s perspective is that he feels completely comfortable opening up to you and sharing his deepest feelings. Naturally, a lot of men are very guarded when it comes to sharing their emotions, so if he has chosen you as a person that he can really talk to, you can be pretty sure that he is planning to have you in his life for a long, long time!
14. He Has an Original, Personal Nickname for You
Besides from the traditional ‘babe’, ‘sweetie’, ‘honey’, another tell tale sign of true love is that he has made up a more personal, specific nickname that only he uses for you. Having a really personal nickname indicates a much deeper connection that just plain old dating, it’s a sign that things have progressed to the next level!
***
This custom term of endearment is like a secret password to his heart – a verbal hug that envelops you in warmth every time he says it. When he calls you by that unique nickname, think of it as a soft whisper that separates you from the world, signifying a bond woven with threads of intimacy and mutual affection. It's his way of saying you're one-of-a-kind, and in his universe, you shine brightest. Isn't it just the sweetest when your special name rolls off his lips? It's as if every letter was crafted with love.
15. Random Things Start to Remind Him of You
If he starts telling you that random songs, sights, smells etc. remind him of you then it means that you are permeating every part of his being, even when you are not together. The fact that he cannot go a single morning or afternoon without being reminded of you by something seemingly innocuous is a pretty strong indicator that true love is in the air!
If he matches all or some of these signs, Congratulations! you have a keeper! He IS falling in love with you! So, how do you feel about him? Can you see yourself with him years from now?

Sammiflyer29: Well my best friend made love to me
Katiana: Wow, I think that he is on his way. I have a dog, a maltese. He hates the dog, told me to sell it because of all the annoying barking. And yes, he was dead serious. But I love my dog more than any man. Told him so. Since then, he is been making every effort to tolerate the dog. He even played with her. He is laughing more now, texting more, *gigling* He has not said the L word yet, I am just patiently waiting with that smile on my face. Well as for me? I like him.
Anonymous: guys, helpme with this. first of all, I met this guy 3 years ago, i had a crush on him but it stopped. but then on this 4th yr., he asked me out on a movie, we had fun, and texts each other, but he stopped texting me, and so do i. and now, i miss him.. after that, my best friend had broke up with his boy friend.. his boy friend and the guy i like our friends.. and so my best friend. and now, the guy i like texts my best friend..im lost. and im sad, i always think of him at night and it hurts me. what am i suppose to do and what do uthink of this situation im in.
Lorena: It's so annoying
Abisha: @Doublem yeah same here
Doublem: Guys I'm so conflicted. there is this guy thats 2 years younger than me who i have known for about 2 years now. Every time we meet i am torn because i love him but i cannot tell him because it might ruin our friendship. He is my basketball bud and we play 1 on 1. We used to be closer. We would try to steal the ball away from each other, then fall over. We would have the best time, but since we had such a close bond full of touching and fun i kind of started to feel differently about him. I am confused. What can i do to prevent making things awkward between us. This question has been hurting me for months.
