16 Secret & Surprising Signs That Someone Is In Love With You

9-signs-someone-love

Would you recognize the signs that someone is in love with you? Or would they go straight over your head?

Maybe you are with someone who you think is in love with you, except they haven't yet said the big three words? Some people can find it very hard to say ‘I love you’.

However, that doesn’t always mean that they don’t, people tend to show their love in different ways. They may just show it in different ways. It can be really hard to know for sure if someone loves you, especially when they don’t make it very obvious.

Sometimes, actions can speak louder than words and you may be able, to tell the truth just by finding any nonverbal signs that your partner may be giving you.

There could be many reasons as to why your partner is holding back on saying the actual words, such as past relationships, not being able to open up very well, and more, but they could be showing you in different ways.

16 Signs That Someone Is In Love With You

So, how do you know if someone's in love with you? Here are some significant signs that you will hopefully recognize within your own relationship.

1. The Way That They Look At You

A sign that someone is falling in love with you is through their eye contact. This has also been something that has been studied by psychologists. This is a nonverbal sign that can mean a lot, and reveal deeper feelings from your partner.

When you catch your partner glancing over at you, or looking at you while you are talking, this can mean that they love spending time with you and are happy to be with you. Even when you are busy chatting with someone, you may still catch your partner looking at you and this can be a big sign that they are in love with you and are very happy to be around you.

2. They Want To Take Care Of You

If your partner rushes to take care of you, whether you are ill or have heard some bad news, this is a great sign that they love you.

If they ask you questions to see how you feel and if you need anything, this can be a way of saying that they love you, they want you to be OK, and will make sure of it.

Someone who loves another person will often want to care for them, make sure they are happy and be there when they need to be, so look for this sign in your partner, as it is a great indicator that they could be in love with you.

3. They Respect Your Personal Space

If you need personal space, they will be sure to give you some.

Your partner should listen to you and understand that you need some space, which should be respected. If your partner leaves you while you have some time to yourself, including not bombarding you with messages or just showing up uninvited, then this can really mean that they love you.

When someone knows that you need some time apart, even if it’s a couple of hours or a couple of days, they will understand and respect your decision, which can be a sign that someone is in love with you.

4. They Ask For Your Advice

If someone is in love, they will often hold their partner's views very highly and always want their opinion on important decisions.

Your partner will ask for advice on certain things and they know that you will most likely give them great advice that will help them, and that shows a great deal of trust.

No matter the situation; maybe something to do with their job, or if they need help with a problem they have, they will want your advice as they will most likely think highly of you and your opinions.

5. They Will Drop Everything For You

When someone puts their own needs and wants aside for yours, this can be a great sign that someone is in love with you.

If you really care about someone, you will most likely be there when they need you, even if this involves dropping everything you are doing at the time.

If someone does this for you, it shows that they want to support and comfort you when you need it, which is a sign that they really care for you and your needs.

6. They Make You Feel Good About Who You Are

It is always nice to have someone that makes you feel good about yourself, even on your worst days.

When your significant other can not only make you happy generally but also make you feel good about yourself and who you are, it shows affection and love towards you.

Your partner may not even know that they are doing it, but the way that they behave and act around you can have a great impact on your relationship, for all the right reasons.

When someone wants you to be happy with who you are and finds a way to do so, they may be in love with you.

7. They Introduce You To Their Family

This is a big step that will enhance a relationship. Your family can be some of the closest people to you, who want to look out for you and care for you. When you are introduced to someone’s family, it can be a great sign of commitment and a healthy relationship.

When someone is showing this sign of commitment, they are normally in the relationship for the long run and are looking forward to the future.

This is a great indicator that they could be in love with you.

8. They Ask About Your Day

Usually, in relationships, you ask your partner how their day has been and want to know what they have been up to.

This shows that you care about your partner and what has either upset them or made them happy during their day.

If your partner is showing interest in your day and what is happening when they are not with you, this is a sign of a loving relationship. It could be high or low points of your day, but whatever it is, they want to know and are eager to listen; this could be a sign that someone is in love with you.

9. They Actively Express Their Emotions

It can be hard for some people to express how they really feel and can be especially hard to try and do that in relationships too. If your partner is trying their hardest to express their emotions, even if it takes a while, it could be love.

This is because when you try and tell each other your true emotions and how you feel in that moment, you are caring for each other.

Improving your listening skills for better communication will help you. Expressing your emotions is a great way to discuss things that may be bothering you or even things that are making you happy. Either way, it’s a good sign that someone is in love with you.

10. You Feel Safe With Them

Love is often exciting, especially in the early stages. However, a sense of safety is just as important, and a partner who loves you will consistently strive to make you feel comfortable and secure.

They won't be physically violent or threatening, either towards you or your property.

And they won't try to control your decisions, your social circle or your sexual boundaries. In addition, your partner will build you up rather than tearing you down – they'll support you and validate you, rather than making fun of you or fostering insecurities.

If you can relax around your partner and feel free to make autonomous choices, there's a good chance you're with someone who loves you enough to prioritize your safety.

11. They Listen To You

It might sound obvious that a loving partner should listen, but notice that listening can be more or less sincere.

For example, someone who is impatient to claim as much conversational space for themselves as possible will often give you one-word answers or will brush off the importance of what you're saying.

In contrast, someone who loves you will practice active listening. They will focus on your words, regularly checking out whether they're understanding what you're saying, and their genuine curiosity will radiate from them.

Of course, your partner won't remember every single fact you ever tell them, and they won't necessarily always like what you say or suggest! However, by listening carefully and closely, they communicate love and respect.

12. They Don’t Try To Change You

When you love someone, you support their personal growth. Sometimes, this involves cheering them on as they drop habits or take on new ones. In addition, there are times when partners seek each other's advice.

However, these scenarios are quite different from trying to change someone to fit with your own preferences. As painful as it is, sometimes you may end up with someone who loves the idea of a relationship with you more than they love the “real you.”

In such cases, you're not being loved, but are having a fantasy projected onto you.

When you're loved, you'll get a consistent message that it's fine to be yourself – in fact, you're loved for being precisely who you are.

13. They Have Good Communication With You

If someone loves you then you'll see them consistently trying to communicate with you in an honest, respectful way.

For example, when you are in conflict they will try to figure out what you're both contributing, rather than simply blaming you for the situation.

Similarly, they'll be forthright about what they need from a relationship, and be open to hearing the same from you.

Many of us find it hard to communicate well if we grew up in families where feelings weren't discussed or where it was safest to try and keep the peace. This doesn't mean such people can't be in loving relationships. The real sign of love here is a desire to communicate well, and a commitment to trying to improve.

14. They Want To Help You

A loving partner will want to help you whenever and however they can. They won't compete with you, for example, or need to be the most impressive person in the relationship.

They'll be excited by your goals and dreams, and be willing to make some sacrifices to help you get where you want to be in life. And no matter what's happening in your life, they should be on hand with a sympathetic ear.

However, they'll also have a sense of when you need extra assistance elsewhere.

They'll know that partners don't need to be absolutely everything to each other and that sometimes you need a friend, family member or even a professional to give you support.

15. They Respect You

Respect is one of the vital ingredients of a long-term relationship, and your bond won't survive for long without it.

If your partner loves you, then they will show this in how they speak to you, how they value your time, and how they trust your decisions. Respect also comes with a commitment to honesty, to clear communication (as discussed above), and to being “on the same team” even when you don't always see eye to eye.

Indeed, one of the most important times to assess respect is when you're struggling to agree.

Does your partner still listen to you, treat you like an adult, and use appropriate language? If not, they can't respect you when it really counts.

16. They Can Put Up With Your Bad Moods

Finally, it's easy to love someone when they're presenting their best self – when they're looking beautiful, paying you attention, and making you laugh.

Your partner was probably first attracted to your best traits, and it's likely that you can count on their affection when you're functioning at high capacity.

However, the greater test of love is whether it is present when someone is at their worst – when they are tired, stressed, or downright grumpy.

Life isn't always easy, and you need to know that your partner will stick with you even if you go through a rough patch. If you feel like you can let your partner see you on your worst day and still feel loved, then you undoubtedly have something solid.
