1. Making Plans
If he's making numerous plans with you, both for the present and the future, he's serious about you. Remember, it's about plans, not just promises. Saying, “I promise to come back to you” is a promise. If he says, “For your birthday next year, I plan to travel with you and your family,” that's a pre-determined plan, and he'll follow through if you agree.
Many people prioritize the initial excitement of a relationship over potential tension and routine. In reality, planning intimate moments helps increase intimacy and responsibility for both parties. After years of dating, couples often neglect private time for each other. Regardless of the reason, it can create distance, causing both to forget the initial passion. Now is the time to schedule intimate moments. Thanks to mutual agreement on scheduling, couples can maintain regularity, scientificity, and reasonable frequency in their intimate life. Moreover, you don't forget the emotions and each other's needs.


2. Selflessness
If he truly loves you, he will not be overly selfish. Your personal life will remain untouched, and he won't interfere too much. When you have plans or gatherings with your friends, he won't be overly concerned but will subtly remind you to be careful and not return too late. It can be challenging because men in love tend to be selfish, but he wants you to feel comfortable when you're out by not constantly calling when you haven't replied to a message, only calling when it's late and you haven't returned. It shows that he genuinely cares about you.
Some people, when in love, don't want their partner to socialize with others, even though they know it's just a friendship. Others, when in love, want to control schedules, even relationships in their partner's life. Borrowing a phone is essentially to control calls and messages. In love, there is no room for the term 'selfish,' and certainly not in life. So, stay vigilant about the issue and always keep yourself free.


3. Show Genuine Concern
He won't always hover around you, worrying about every little thing. But when you need him the most, he'll encourage and be by your side, never leaving you alone. Every morning, you receive a short message wishing you a good day, proving that you are the first person he thinks of. Or those goodnight messages when you've fallen asleep during a conversation, showing thoughtfulness.
Caring for your loved one is an entire joy, like lovers caring for each other in every detail of life, from basic needs like eating and sleeping to emotional and spiritual needs. It involves attentiveness to the intricacies of your partner's desires and finding solutions to meet those needs. True happiness in love comes from taking care of and building a future for the one you love. Therefore, there can never be happiness in the heart of a lover who doesn't care for their partner.


4. Share Similar Hobbies
Perhaps you were meant for each other due to similar hobbies, but if he seeks out similar hobbies to share with you, enjoying activities and indulging in the foods you love, it shows he loves your true self. If you love 'Bún đậu mắm tôm,' even if he doesn't like its smell, he will take you to eat and order 'Bún đậu nước mắm' because, after all, he'll have to smell it in the restaurant. So, with frequent visits, he'll eventually develop a liking for it just because you do. Ultimately, as long as you like it, he's happy.
Furthermore, it's commonly explained that we tend to be attracted to people with similar attitudes and viewpoints. Research also indicates that similarity is more appealing than difference. For example, in a debate with someone, if they share your perspective, you'll naturally like them more, despite your attempts to remain objective. Therefore, in a relationship, if your partner seeks similar hobbies, striving to find common ground, cherish and focus on that to foster the relationship.


5. Invest Time in You
This simple thing speaks volumes: 'If he invests time in you, it shows that he loves you now.' Saying now because, in reality, when you start dating, everything is genuinely sweet, isn't it? As time goes by, it depends on both of you, not just him. But now, if he invests time in you, it proves that you are the one he cares about.
A genuine lover, even if not rich in time, will spare a minute just to think about you. They will take the time to chat, comfort, even when they are far away and never claim to be busy. Always seize the moment to be with you, whether it's grocery shopping, cooking, or sharing a meal without saying, 'Hey, I'm waiting for you, my love.' A genuine lover, after a busy week, will spend time with you instead of thinking that you limit his time. Or be ready to spend his time with you just to stroll down every path, admire a few pretty dresses.


6. No Demands
Many people believe that true love is when every action, every deed is reciprocated. But you find it strange that he has never demanded anything from you. He doesn't expect you to respond to everything he does for you. For him, what's more important is that you are happy and content. He willingly does everything for you with the sincerest affection from his heart, not expecting anything in return.
Above all, you need to maintain a certain level of awareness because in love, people always respect that love and preserve it for each other without physical demands. Only such love can be long-lasting happiness. If there are demands, it is not true love, just desire. If your partner demands, understand that they don't truly love you; they are infatuated momentarily. Eventually, they will get bored and leave you for various reasons, as I mentioned earlier. If he comes to you for needs, perhaps it's not genuine love.


7. Always Smiles with You
He always smiles with you, whether you're far or near. If you're far, he frequently initiates FaceTime calls, chats, tells stories, or sings lullabies with you until you fall asleep. When you meet, the first thing he does is smile at you and say cheesy things throughout the journey, making you unable to stay mad or upset.
A man in love with you genuinely wants to see you smile and will spare no effort to make you laugh. He consistently does small things for you, like giving little gifts, sharing funny stories, or teasing you. The ideal man knows how to bring a genuine smile to your face. It's not just a faint smile; it has to be a true, radiant smile on your lips. If he truly loves you, he won't shy away from difficulties to make you happy. If there's a guy who always tries to create joy and brings many fun actions to you, always cherish him. This is a clear sign that he loves you deeply.


8. Teasing with Love
If you don't respond to his messages, stay online without noticing his texts, you will soon receive noisy phone calls. If you are still okay, just forgot to reply to messages or chatting with friends, he will scold for the 'careless' or 'heart of stone' offense. Instead, you'll get loving scolding, demonstrating his care.
In love or marriage, arguments are not frightening; what's truly frightening is hurting each other for the conflicts. A heated argument brings a little hurt, but accumulating over the years, the affection diminishes, making it harder to return to the initial feelings of mutual respect. A man who loves you will control his emotions no matter how angry he is, avoiding words that could hurt you. If he truly loves you, even in his anger, he will restrain himself for your sake, refraining from saying words that would cause you pain.


9. Embrace all aspects of your personality
If he always professes unconditional love for you, regardless of who you are, your job, or family circumstances... because he loves your personality and who you are, he will show you that love is large enough to overlook any differences.
Because genuine love truly comes from what you have – what lies within your soul directed towards others. Don't try to change yourself to please someone so that they will love you. Create joy in your own life, be yourself, and someone will love you for what you have. Just open the door of your heart and accept it naturally; you will know true love. Love is felt with the heart, not by appearances. “Your face will change. Your body will change. The only lasting form of beauty is the beauty that exists in your heart” – Lori Deschene once affirmed.


10. Nodding, but not too much
You'll be happy to love a man who always agrees with your decisions or opinions, but remember not too much because if he always agrees, he may not be truly sincere. He will agree to let you choose places to go, eat, pick clothes… your job is just to sit behind, hugging him.
He won't hesitate to sacrifice or spend for you. In a relationship, a man who doesn't cling to money but is willing to nod and spend for you, even handing it over to you, truly values you, treating you as a future wife. A man's attitude when giving money to you hides his sincerity towards you. Perhaps when love is strong enough, all limits with him will be blurred, willing to do everything for you, even things he has never done before.


11. Thinks of you as a perpetual child
If he truly loves you, he'll call you kiddo, little one, or any nickname that sounds childish. He'll be the one to protect and care for you in any situation. But every time a decision needs to be made, he wants to discuss and consider your opinion!
He protects you in various ways, including providing safety, financial security, and emotional comfort, making you feel everything will be okay. He's ready to punch a thug to protect you. However, he thinks before acting. He never does anything without being sure about it all. Every action of a true man is calculated, thoughtful, and assured. He cares and treats everyone well.
True love comes from the heart, dedicated to each other, wanting his protection and care for you, giving you all the happiness. A perfect marriage is both sharing love and holding hands to overcome life's storms together.


12. Modesty Matters
If he never boasts or repeats the good things he has done for you, no comparisons, no calculations, even though you haven't done much for him. Instead, he's willing to do everything for you. He speaks and shows through actions without complaining because now he's sure he has only you, sacrificing and cherishing for you.
Also, pay attention to whether he's a 'social media liver' as publicly sharing too much personal information on social media can inadvertently 'damage' your relationship, especially when it comes to complaints. Make sure your partner is aware of this before making any statements on social media. Because love is the affair of two people, if you show off too much, it becomes the affair of too many people. And that's definitely not good, it wasn't good, and it will surely have many repercussions.
