There are small signs of protectiveness he demonstrates that are so subtle, you miss them.

However, whenever it is done, it’s yet again one of the small signs that someone is genuinely interested in you.

He walks on the side of the pavement that is immediately adjacent to the road to keep you from getting hit by a careless driver.

He sits on a seat that faces the front door of a restaurant he has taken you to, ensuring that he keeps a lookout for anyone entering the restaurant who poses a potential threat to your safety.

Furthermore, he always walks you to your car in the parking lot after a date or walks you to the front door of your apartment to ensure that you leave the parking lot or reach your home safely.

A man that shows these subtle signs in demonstrating his concern for your physical well-being is someone who is genuinely interested in you.

Also, he remembers minor information given to him by you in previous conversations and acts on it.

This is minor information that you didn’t expect him to remember.

Briefly mentioning your favorite flavor of ice cream in a past conversation isn’t information you think he would remember, and yet he does.

In fact, he acts on that information by purchasing that exact flavor and brand the next time he goes to the grocery store.

The next time he talks to you, he tells you that he tried that flavor and brand of ice cream and loved it.

This is one of those small signs that proves he is someone who is genuinely interested in you.

It’s evidence that not only was he paying attention to everything you said in a previous conversation, but he also took action in applying what he learned in his everyday life.

Additionally, he takes moments out of his day, regardless of how busy or preoccupied he is, to communicate with you in some fashion.

A quick text telling you to have a great day or that he was thinking about you becomes the norm.

In other words, he isn’t in the habit of disappearing on you for hours without you hearing a word from him.

He is constantly checking in with you.

His intention is to reassure you that he thinks about you.

This proves that he is so genuinely interested in you that he doesn’t want you to go for any significant length of time without hearing from him, no matter how brief.

Moreover, this is a guy who leaves you small thoughtful gifts every so often.

These can be as varied as a handmade bracelet with thoughtful images or words he knows have significant relevance to you, an impromptu card that teases or compliments you, or a virtual gift bearing a heartwarming digital image of significant relevance to you.

These small gestures require effort, time, and thoughtfulness.

All of which points to someone who is genuinely interested in you.

He derives just as much happiness in doing these small gestures for you as you do in receiving them.
