These signs of falling in love are fairly universal for men and easy to spot. Before you declare your feelings for him or make plans for the future, you'll want to assess the situation and make sure you're both on the same page. No one wants to seem needy or desperate, especially if you haven't been in a relationship for a long time. Looking for signs that your love interest is falling in love with you can help you determine where your relationship is headed.
How he makes a man feel love?
Love goes beyond superficial attraction to a deeper level. Love can make anyone feel vulnerable, especially if the person isn't used to being in touch with their emotions. Many men have been taught to toughen up and ignore their emotions, which can cause them to suppress their feelings of love. As such, falling in love can sometimes make them uncomfortable. Even if a man is comfortable with his emotions, the intensity of love can catch him off guard.
Interestingly, research has suggested that men actually fall in love faster and express that love sooner than women do. This is despite the myth that women are quicker to fall in love.
When a man experiences love, it can affect him deeply. He wants to care for and protect the person he loves and make them happy, and these goals tend to trump many of the other priorities in his life. Love can hijack a man's mind and lead him with his heart instead of his head. True, reciprocated love drives a man to become the best version of himself.
Things girls do that guys love
Many things that girls do that make the guys in their lives adore them are unintentional, and you may not even realize you're doing them until you really think about it. Making you laugh sincerely can feel like an accomplishment for a guy who cares about you. Little habits, like playing with your hair or biting his lip, can be not only endearing and sexy. Certain quirks about you that are unique to you can also warm his heart.
How does a man express his love? Signs that a man is falling in love
It may sound stereotypical or old-fashioned, but some men tend to show their love differently than some women do. Men show how they feel by the actions they take. Of course, some men still put their feelings into words. But this is usually harder for them than it is for women, because of the way men are raised. When you're not in touch with your emotions, expressing them through words can be difficult. Actions feel more confident and concrete.

How the signs of an insecure man in love differ?
Men, just like women, can feel insecure and vulnerable in a relationship when feelings are involved. This is usually due to past experiences of rejection or betrayal, for example, if your ex was cheated on. Whether or not you know your man's dating history, these events can shape his view of love and his willingness to show those feelings.
This insecurity can manifest itself in different ways. He may write to you more often than you are used to. Or maybe he gets jealous easily. Insecurity can rarely be a dealbreaker if it leads to negative patterns. If the man you're interested in becomes highly critical of you and your behavior, this is a big red flag that he's not ready for a relationship.
Signs that a man is falling for you
"He's falling in love with me?" If you're asking yourself this question, there are key behaviors that are common when guys fall in love. The signs of a guy who has intense feelings are easy to spot when you know what to look for. Of course, eventually you have to have the courage to have a real discussion with him. For now, these signs can help you answer the question, "Is he falling in love with me??"
Maintains eye contact
The eye contact of a man in love is different from that of a man who is simply interested. If a man is in love with you, he tends to maintain eye contact longer. Because eye contact between two people who are in love can be intense, some men may feel vulnerable when they're caught in this gaze. You might catch him looking at you longingly out of the corner of his eye and momentarily look away when you catch him.
He tries to make you happy
One of the most common signs that a man is falling in love with a woman is if he makes an effort to bring her as much happiness as possible. If he goes out of his way to make you smile or laugh, that's a clear sign that he's falling in love with you. As mentioned above, a man will show the way he feels through what he does. For example, he might go out of his way to find the perfect gift ideas to give you a present for no reason. If he cares about making you happy, then you can be sure you mean a lot to him.
He wants to spend time with you
If a guy gets to the point where he starts spending more time together, this is a clear sign that he has feelings for you. Although he might just feel a strong attraction and interest in you, if this persists over time, you can be sure he really cares. Of course, it's not good for either of you to drop everything else just to spend time together. It's much healthier to maintain your own social circles and hobbies. However, if he makes time for you in his life, even while working a conflicting schedule, it means you are important to him.
He's thinking about you
Even if your man doesn't have a window in the side of his head to let you see what he's thinking (even if you wish he would), there are ways to know he's thinking about you often. When a man is in love with you, you'll be constantly on his mind. He may send you random messages throughout the day to see what you're up to or he may surprise you with a visit.
He is physically affectionate in public

We are not talking about moves that have a sexual connotation. It's when he reaches out his hand to shake yours or puts his arm around you. These are protective gestures that declare that you two are together. If you notice that he starts kissing your head or cheek, hugging you or snuggling closer, these are all clear signs that he has feelings for you that go beyond desire. And when he's not in public, he's not afraid to make it obvious on social media that he's with you. He will include you in his posts or interact with yours.
He does things for you
A guy who goes out of his way to do things for you – like picking up your favorite snacks at the store without you asking or replacing your hard drive when it fails – is definitely showing that he cares. Even if he just has a naturally generous personality, these actions show that you are important to him and that he wants to please you. This can be especially noticeable if he starts doing things for you more often – these are non-verbal signs of falling in love. Many men have an instinctive need to do what they can to make things better for those they care about, just as women do.
He listens to you
Most of us have had the experience of talking to someone who only pretends to listen. Unfortunately, this is common if a guy is only interested in getting physical with you. On the other hand, if your boyfriend actually takes the time to listen to what you have to say, it means you are important to him. In combination with other signs listed here, his willingness to listen could be a strong indicator that he has feelings for you that go deeper than attraction.

How therapy can help
A licensed therapist can help you understand if he is showing signs of falling in love; more importantly, a therapist can help you build a strong and healthy relationship. Dating can also bring up a lot of feelings of insecurity and anxiety from our past. While we may have a tendency to try to avoid these feelings, ignoring them almost never works. In fact, it only makes these negative thoughts grow more powerful. These feelings can undermine our ability to have a healthy, mutually supportive relationship, especially if we're seeking validation from our partner.
A therapist can help us work through emotional issues from our past to develop healthy coping and communication skills. These skills allow us to have more successful relationships. Turn to Serenis for access to online therapy from a licensed therapist that fits your schedule.

What a man wants in a woman?
Not all men want the same thing in a woman. Every person is unique, which means not all men are looking for the same thing when they fall in love. However, most men want to find a woman they have things in common with. Physical attraction also plays an important role in love for many men. This doesn't mean that all men want their partner to look a specific way, just someone they find attractive.
Most men are looking for the same kinds of things that women are looking for. They probably want to find someone who makes them feel good and who they enjoy spending time with. And, finding someone they can trust with the deepest parts of their heart is also important for most people when looking for a long-term relationship.
What part of the female body is most attractive?
While attraction tends to be very important to a man falling in love, not all men are attracted to the same thing. You can find statistics that say a woman's face, smile, teeth or eyes are the things a man looks at first. But then you can also find a lot of men who will say that it's their build, curves or even shoulder blades that they notice first. And even though men agree that they are attracted to the same body part first, it doesn't mean that everyone wants it to look the same.
How can you tell if a guy is messing with you?

How do you know when you love someone?
It's a great sign that you love someone when you can't wait to see them and spend time with them. They consume most of your attention and even when you can see their imperfections, you're willing to stick it out with them. When you believe that your life is better because the other person is a part of it and you can't imagine living without them, it can be a great sign that you are in love.
How you feel when you're in love?
There is no right or wrong way to feel when you are in love. Many people feel that love makes life easier. Some people feel they become a better person when they have someone they love. Some feel more complete when they are in a relationship. Love can have a way of making ugly things seem not so ugly and beautiful things seem even better.
However, it's important to pay attention as the love grows and deepens. Some of those initial feelings of "love" like butterflies in your stomach and the struggle to think about anything but that person won't last forever. This doesn't mean that you're no longer in love with them. It could just be that your relationship is moving to a different level.
How do you differentiate between love and infatuation?
Love and infatuation can be similar in the beginning of a relationship. As healthy relationships develop and grow, infatuation turns into love.

A lot of people think they have fallen out of love when in reality the relationship is just progressing to another level. If you're wondering if you're falling out of love or struggling to see the difference between infatuation and love in your life, you might benefit from talking to a dating relationship coach for guidance.
Why do guys find it difficult to express their feelings?
Men don't always know how to express their feelings. It could be because they have been taught to see sharing feelings as weak and don't want to let others see their emotional fragility. Some men feel they always have to appear strong and tough and showing feelings, even positive ones, can make them feel weak. He may have had people in his life who made it difficult for him to share his feelings in the past.
There are also some mental health challenges that can make it hard for people to share their emotions.
If you are struggling with sharing your feelings or feel this is missing in your relationship, talking to a relationship coach can be helpful.
