10 Signs Your Guy Means It When He Says “I Love You”

If you’re in a new relationship and your boyfriend tells you that he loves you, keep an eye on these 10 signs here. In all probability, these signs will help you find out if he really means it, or is just saying it because that’s what you want you hear from him.

#1 He says it first. There’s no pressure or need to say that he loves you, but he still says it when you least expect it. He’s not forced into it and you haven’t asked him a question like “do you love me?” He says it because he means it. 

#2 He looks into your eyes. His eyes reveal his feelings for you. He stares into your eyes tenderly and lovingly when he says that he loves you.

#3 He squeezes you. Does your boyfriend squeeze your fingers or your arm when he says he loves you? When you really care about someone and love them, you can’t help but want to wrap them really tightly in your arms.

#4 The long kiss. He says he loves you after kissing you passionately, and then he comes closer again and continues to kiss you for several more seconds. 

#5 He holds your hands. When you’re sitting next to him, has he held your hands gently and played with your fingers or stroked them while saying “I love you”? He may be feeling awkward or shy to say it, but his overwhelming emotions may force him to pour his heart out to you.

#6 When you least expect it. A guy who’s trying to sleep with you would say that he loves you when he thinks you’re expecting to hear it. But if a guy truly loves you, he’d say it not just when he thinks you want to hear it, but even in moments when you least expect him to say it. 

#7 He sounds serious. The tone of his voice would reveal just how serious he is. He looks you into your eyes, and tells you matter-of-factly that he loves you. He’s not saying it to get something back in return, he’s saying it with the sole intention of letting you know that he really loves you.

#8 When he does something special. When a guy who loves you gifts you something special to show his feelings for you, his gift will almost always be accompanied with an “I love you”. It’s his way of showing his appreciation for you *by giving the gift* and revealing his feelings at the same time.

#9 Jealous love. Has this guy ever told you how much he loves you when you’re having a petty fight, or when he feels insecure because you’re flirting with some other guy? When a guy tries to express just how much he loves you when he’s angry, it’s a sure sign he really loves you.

After all, in that heated moment, all he wants to do is reinforce just how much you mean to him and how much it hurts him to see you with someone else. 

#10 He talks about the future. If he says something serious about your relationship or talks about the future together, and says that he loves you in the same sentence, that’s a good sign that he means it. He sees you in his future and that thought makes him realize just how special you are to him.

Use these 10 signs to find out if your guy really means it when he says “I love you”. Even if you can’t see all these signs when he says he loves you, you’d surely see more than a handful. And that’s a great start to know if you mean something special to him, don’t you think?
