If a guy sends you flowers, you know he’s into you. If he calls you daily, it’s pretty clear he cares.
Those are the basics of romantic gestures.
Yet, understanding love isn’t always a walk in the park.
Men can be complex creatures, and sometimes it takes a bit more insight to really understand their feelings.
But, fear not, my friend!
I’ve listed 8 specific things a man does when he’s completely head-over-heels over everything about you:
1) He pays attention to the details
Let’s face it, not all guys are great with details.
They might forget your birthday, your coffee order, or even what you wore yesterday. But when a man is head over heels for you, that forgetfulness evaporates.
Suddenly, he’s noticing the little things about you. The way your eyes light up when you talk about your passion, the dimples that appear when you laugh, and even the unique way you tie your shoelaces.
You see, when a man is smitten, you become his focus. He starts appreciating the tiny details that make you who you are.
And honestly, isn’t that just sweet?
2) He makes time for you
We all lead busy lives, right? Between work, social commitments, and everything in between, it can feel like there’s hardly time to breathe.
I remember when I first started dating my now-husband. He had a demanding job and was always on the move.
But regardless of his packed schedule, he always made time for me. Whether it was a quick call during his break or arranging a late-night date after work, he was there.
This can be referred to as spending “quality time” with you. An article from Verywell Mind suggests that, for a relationship to grow and develop, every couple needs to spend quality time together.
Why? Because when a man is really into you, he’ll move mountains to spend time with you. No matter how busy he is, you’ll never be an afterthought. You’ll be his priority.
3) He introduces you to his inner circle
Did you know that men tend to keep their romantic interests separate from their friends and family until they’re certain about their feelings?
So, when a man introduces you to his friends, and especially his family, it’s a big deal. It means he sees a future with you and wants to blend his world with yours.
He’s not just smitten, he’s inviting you to become a part of his life. This is more than just a casual fling for him; it’s the real deal.
4) He listens and remembers
Ever told someone something important only to have them forget it later? Frustrating, right?
Well, when a man is smitten with you, he not only listens to what you say, but he remembers it too.
This goes beyond remembering your favorite color or food. It’s about remembering your aspirations, your fears, and your stories.
It’s about him showing interest in your world and making an effort to understand you better. If he’s doing that, chances are, he’s completely smitten.
5) He’s protective of you
Look, not all men are vocal about how they feel. In that case, you’d do better to look at what he actually does instead of what he says (or doesn’t say).
When I think about my own relationship, I recall how my partner would always make sure I got home safe after a night out.
He would check in on me when I was feeling under the weather, and would always be there to offer support when I was going through a tough time.
Similarly, if a man is smitten with you, he will naturally feel protective towards you.
Not in an overbearing or controlling way, but in a manner that shows he genuinely cares about your well-being. He’s there for you, looking out for you!
6) He’s not afraid to show vulnerability
Often, men are painted as stoic figures, always strong and never showing any signs of vulnerability. But when a man is truly smitten with you, he lets his guard down.
He’s not afraid to show emotions, to talk about his fears or share his dreams with you. He trusts you enough to peel back his layers and let you in.
In a society where men are often expected to suppress their feelings, this kind of openness is a clear sign that he’s willing to give and show his all to you.
7) He values your opinion
Everyone has their own thoughts and ideas. But when a man is smitten with you, your opinion matters to him, maybe more than you realize.
Whether it’s about his outfit, a decision at work, or a significant life change, he wants to know what you think.
If he seeks your guidance and cherishes your point of view, he values your perspective and considers it while making decisions.
8) He shows you his love consistently
Love isn’t about grand gestures or dramatic declarations. It’s in the everyday, the consistent, and the reliable.
When a man is smitten with you, he won’t just tell you he loves you on special occasions. He’ll show it to you each day, in his actions, his words, and his commitment to you.
According to Better Help, a man who’s falling in love might experience increased happiness, energy, and confidence.
The boost in confidence and joy from a thriving romance can make him more willing to explore new activities and interests.
So he’ll be there for you, treat you with respect, and cherish your relationship. His love for you will be steady and undeniable.
That’s the ultimate sign that he’s completely smitten with you.
Reflecting on love’s subtleties
By now, you’ve probably realized that understanding a man’s feelings goes beyond his words. It’s about noticing those little signals, those behaviors that speak volumes about his feelings.
Because love isn’t always proclaimed from rooftops. More often than not, it’s whispered in the quiet moments, demonstrated through thoughtful gestures, and echoed in consistent actions.
When a man is truly smitten with you, he won’t just tell you. He’ll show you in countless ways.
