The way he looks at you There may be an air of awe, serenity, and inner calm when he looks at you (and only you). His gaze will always be oriented toward you from across the room. Your happiness is just as important as his A man who loves you will find out what makes you happy and do those things regularly. If you’re happy, he’s happy.

He will also be eager to meet (and grow to love and respect) your friends and family.

Examples: “I still have a ton of work to do but you’re far more important than silly tax documents.” “I’m more than happy to skip running errands to be with you.” He's there for you even when it's inconvenient If you're having a hard time, he will be there to support you even if he'd rather be somewhere else.

Examples: “I want to understand why we have so much trouble communicating when these issues come up so we can move forward.” “I want to understand what led to your frustration so I can avoid it from here on out.” He expresses his love verbally and nonverbally A man who loves you will express verbal appreciation and show physical affection regularly (not just when he wants something). He wants to make you feel loved. Examples: “I love every inch of you, babe.” “I love holding your hand and feeling your heartbeat through your palm.”
