His mom is someone who showed him a lot of unconditional love and acceptance.

There are certain things you say or do that remind him of his mom because it harkens back to what he experienced growing up.

It is natural for a child to grow up into an adult and seek out a partner who has similar qualities to that of a parent.

You have probably already done this with this guy and didn’t even realize it.

Women also have a tendency to look for men as potential partners who have qualities similar to their fathers.

Think about some of the qualities that led you to become attracted to this guy and choose to date him.

Do any of those qualities bear any resemblance to the qualities of your dad?

Is this guy protective, affectionate, empathetic, and a good provider?

Did your dad have any of these qualities?

There is a good chance he did.

Growing up, your dad exhibited several of these positive qualities too.

On a subconscious level, you were drawn to these qualities when you first met this guy because they felt familiar.

Even though you never quite stopped for a moment to acknowledge that these qualities were similar to those of your dad, there was a feeling of safety.

The safety that comes with familiarity.

In the same vein, this guy chose to date you because there were qualities you had that were similar to those of his mom.

When you do or say something that reminds him of his mom, it is further reassurance that he picked the right girl to date.

And it isn’t always just about how his mom treated him.

Yes, she was loving and kind to him, which are qualities he sees in you.

But she was also respectful, giving, and loyal to his father, which are qualities he probably sees in you too.

Growing up, he observed his mom’s behavior towards him and his father, and on a subconscious level, saw that as a template for how a future girlfriend or spouse should treat him.

Therefore, when you show him a particular behavior such as kindness, consideration, affection, or empathy, it all triggers his subconscious, reminding him that he witnessed this kind of behavior from his mom directed at him or his father as he was growing up.

It’s a compliment.

Actually, it’s more than a compliment.

It’s a sign that you embody the qualities that make for the right partner for him.

How he saw his mother behave towards him or his father provided a blueprint and set the expectation.

As you progressively hear him say that you remind him of his mom whenever you say or do something that does, you are becoming someone he envisions a potential long-term future with.

Basically, you are on the right path.

A path that leads to him feeling completely safe with you, where he is capable of being vulnerable.

Once a man is on this path, he is bound to fall head over heels in love with the girl he is dating.
