He loves me, he loves me not

How can you tell? Sometimes it is really difficult, as many men have difficulty expressing their feelings about someone. If you are waiting for the three magic words “I love you”, you could wait for a long, long time.

Sometimes the man in your life tells you that he loves you by means of the things he does. Right, so what are these?


Telephoning you when he is going to be late.
Doing the dishes when you are really tired.
Making you a present if Christmas comes up and your joint finances are low.
Tolerating your difficult family members on social occasions.
Worrying about you when you don’t turn up on time.
Listening to you when you need to talk, without feeling the need to fix things immediately.
Planning to spend holiday and weekend time with you – lots of it.
Saying nice things about you to other people.
Saying nice things about you to you.
Tolerating your cat even if it makes him sneeze.
Fetching and carrying you for a week without complaining, while your car is at the panelbeaters.
Cooking for you when you are working late.
Never backseat-driving.
Taking your side in disputes with other people.
Not letting your children be rude to you.
