Men aren’t raised to be in tune with their emotions.

To this effect, he isn’t predisposed to verbally expressing he is truly in love with you in no uncertain terms.

After all, this feeling is something that he doesn’t generally think about that often.

A woman fantasizes about the possibility of falling in love with a man she is dating, and this alone can make her excited about that outcome.

Whereas a man doesn’t generally get too caught up in the prospect of falling in love with a girl he is dating.

He is primarily focused on what happens on a day-to-day basis with the girl, rather than thinking about the prospect of falling in love with her in the foreseeable future.

To this end, when you are desperately in need of knowing whether he is truly in love with you, you are better off observing his actions rather than waiting for his words to confirm it.

It’s feasible you are already at a juncture where you are in love with him or know it’s forthcoming.

This is a viable reason why it’s helpful to know where he stands emotionally.

No woman in a relationship wants to be the only one in love.

In general, men fall in love within 3 months of a relationship, and women within 4 to 5 months of a relationship.

This time frame gives you a general barometer.

That said, it isn’t the end-all be-all.

Some men take a shorter time to fall in love, and others take longer.

To determine whether he is truly in love, look for clues in his actions.

If he consistently includes you in his future plans, he sees you in his future.

Whether it be a leisure activity, such as traveling, or a serious one, such as buying or renting a future home or apartment together, you are in his plans.

Additionally, he wants to spend almost all of his free time with you.

In the past, he was all about hanging out and having fun with his buddies.

That has changed.

His buddies are having a hard time getting him to come out to hang out with them as he once did.

Being with you is far more important to him.

Basically, he is addicted to being around your physical presence.

It doesn’t matter that his friends have grandiose and exciting plans for the weekend.

As much as he loves live sports, he is passing on going to watch his favorite hockey team play a home game on any given weekend, as he would much rather spend that time with you.

His new world is consumed by his overwhelming desire to be with you.

A man who is truly in love is attracted to his girl like a magnet.

His free time is fully booked with you at the center of it.

Whether he is spending several hours talking to you on the phone or hanging out with you in person, all that matters to him is that he is interacting with you.
