This piece explains how to know a man who truly loves a woman. It reveals the unmistakable signs to watch out for in a man who truly loves a woman. These signs are sure and secure; learn more.

This is not meant to be an exhaustive list. Love is broad, and everyone shows love in different ways. But, one thing is sure: if your significant other is putting in effort, you will know and that is a good sign. Effort is necessary to give love, to become a better person, and to have a successful relationship. Ultimately, effort is also a sign of emotional maturity. So the signs below may indicate not just love but an ability and a willingness to build a successful relationship

1. He shows you genuine respect.

Respect and love go hand in hand. On its own, respect may not be a clear-cut sign of romantic love, but it should always be present in a loving relationship. If your partner demonstrates respect for you: your choices, your time, your body, your thoughts, this may be a sign that he values you as more than just a friend.

A man can show respect in a variety of ways. For example, one of the ways I feel most respected is when I am listened to. When my partner listens to the things I have to say, is willing to be attentive to my problems or even just my general musings, this makes me feel extremely respected. It makes me feel like I am important to him and that there is value in my thoughts and feelings.

2. He puts you first.

One of the signs a man loves you is when he frequently puts you first. In fact, this may be one of the deepest signs he really loves you. It is truly an act of love and unselfishness to put the needs and happiness of another person first. This is something we should be doing in our relationships all the time, and truth be told, it can be very difficult. If your significant other does this for you, whether it be taking care of you when you’re sick, going above and beyond to help you out in some way, or setting aside his own needs to do something for you, this is a strong sign that love is present.

3. He makes time for you.

This means he makes you a priority.
By the same token, a good sign of love is when your partner consistently makes time for you. You should feel confident that you are a priority in his life and in his schedule–not an afterthought.
A loving partner will work hard to incorporate you in his daily/weekly life, even if it’s inconvenient or challenging. He might shuffle his schedule around in order to have a date night with you, stop over to see you on his way to work or class, or even just consistently call you in the evening. These signs of effort are important, and they demonstrate that he cares about you and that you’re an important part of his life.

4. He makes efforts to fix relationship problems or to change his behaviour for the better.

Every relationship will encounter its share of challenges and problems. Conflict is a normal part of life and a very common element in human relationships. What is important is how the two of you deal with that conflict. How does your partner handle relationship issues? Does he constantly push them aside and avoid dealing with them? Maybe he won’t admit it when there are issues? Or perhaps he is unwilling to change any of his behaviours. This could be a sign of emotional immaturity, certainly, but it also may indicate that this is not a relationship built on love. A loving partner will put effort into strengthening and improving a relationship. He’s willing to discuss these issues with you. He will be willing to make changes in his behaviour for the good of the relationship.

5. He shows you his vulnerable side.

One of the signs a man loves you is that he occasionally lets you see his vulnerability. He lets you in beyond the external barrier.

This is definitely difficult for a lot of men. Typically, men are not nearly as in touch with their emotions as women are, and they are definitely not usually as comfortable sharing them. But a man who loves you becomes more and more likely to give you glimpses into this vulnerable core. This is likely to be a slow process, but when you see signs of him letting you in, it can be a great indication that love is blooming.

6. His interest in you is not solely sexual.

This is a big one. Does your significant other demonstrate to you that they are interested in what you offer beyond the bedroom? Virtually all relationships often begin with tons of passion and excitement, but this should not be confused with real, genuine love. While that can certainly be part of it, love is usually what grows later, as the initial high starts to fade. That early, passionate physical relationship many couples experience cannot yet be called love, but can be called lust. Do the feelings and loving actions continue beyond that initial glow? Is there more to your relationship than the physical? Is your partner doing more than the minimum, or is he doing just enough to get you into bed?

These are questions worth examining. When love is truly present, the relationship is more than just a physical one.

7. He shows interest in the future with you.

Ah, the future. This can be a scary subject for many couples, and my experience in my 20s showed me that the topic especially scared a lot of twenty-something guys!

But one of the signs he’s in love with you is that these conversations are able to happen, even subtly.

Now, your boyfriend of a few months probably isn’t ready to talk marriage and kids yet. But someone who loves you (or is on their way to loving you) will include you in their future plans.

This could be subtle mentions. Maybe he talks about vacations you might take someday, or he speaks about an event a few months in the future and includes you in the plan. These are signs that he’s picturing you as part of his future, or actively incorporating you into future plans. On the other hand, if your boyfriend doesn’t even want to nail down plans for next weekend… he might not be ready for a loving relationship with you.

8. He wants you to feel cared for.

One thing my husband always says to me is how important it is to him that I am happy. This means the world to me. I got this sense from him even when we were first dating, even when he didn’t say it in so many words. I could tell that my feelings mattered deeply to him, and to me, that was one of the most clear-cut signs that he loved me.

What does your partner show you in this area? Does he clearly prioritize your needs, wants, and desires? Does he go out of his way to do things that will make you happy or make you feel safe? Does he try to make you laugh, to brighten your mood when you’re feeling down? Again, these can be subtle signs, but they often show a deeper love brewing within.

9. He introduces you to important people in his life.

Have you met your partner’s parents? What about your boyfriend’s friends? One of the strongest signs your boyfriend loves you can often be this one: does he introduce you to the people he loves?

There may not be an opportunity to meet the parents if they live far away, but your man can also demonstrate this love by telling them about you. It’s no guarantee of love, but knowing that you’re important enough to be introduced to/mentioned to these people is a telling sign for sure.

10. He makes you feel good about yourself.

How can you tell if he loves you? One way is to notice how he makes you feel. I’m not talking about flattery and feeling like a pampered princess. Does your partner make you feel like you are a person of value? Do you feel treasured? Do you feel respected?

Do you feel like this person brings out better qualities in you? Makes you want to be a better person? Does he highlight your best aspects? A loving partner will not make us feel worse about ourselves. He will not make us feel disrespected or unimportant. He may not always make us feel amazing, or constantly feel our best, but overall, someone who loves us should make us feel worthy of love.
