How do I know if she loves me?

‘What signs should I look for to find out if a girl really loves me?’

It’s all about the way she behaves! You can’t ever really be sure about what people say, but their behaviour always tells you the truth.

Maybe you’re wondering whether a girl in your group is falling for you?

You’ll notice that she remembers what you say. And looks for excuses to talk to you, or text you. Often she’s the one who starts the conversation, perhaps for no apparent reason. And if you text, she replies quickly. She’s probably also stalking you on Facebook.

You keep ‘accidentally’ bumping into her, because she’s started hanging out wherever you usually go. Maybe she’s happy to leave her friends to be alone with you? When you’re together, she doesn’t mess with her phone. Her eyes are always on you, and she’s considerate towards you. Maybe giving you small gifts if you happened to mention you need something. She cancels plans to fit in with yours, is nicer to your friends, and tries her best to sit near you. Then you’re sort of dating already, without admitting it!

She probably seems a little nervous when she’s around you, and might seem a little jealous when you talk with your friends.

When you’re nearby, she probably starts playing with her clothes or hair. Sitting next to you, she moves closer to you and maybe lightly touch your hand or arm. She mirrors your movements, and use gestures or words you’ve used.

She smiles when there’s no good reason, and even laughs at your worst jokes.

All those behaviours will continue once you start dating. But pretty soon, she’ll also start wanting to talk about your relationship. She’ll want to be sure that your dating really means something, as opposed to just hanging out. She’ll want to know that you two are an item – and will make it clear she doesn’t want to see you with anyone else.

She’ll soon want to be spending a lot of time with you, doing ordinary everyday things. She wants to feel how life will be once you’re married. You’ll notice that she now cares a lot about you. Worrying if you’re ill, and wanting you to be comfortable and well fed.

Soon she’ll start talking about the future. Your plans. Hers. Money. Jobs. Your families. Children. Through that, she’s telling you she’s expecting a proposal! So don’t mess about. Make your mind up. And get down on your knees!

    1. Hi,

      Hi,

      Sex is an important part of a relationship but its not the measure of love. If you think he’s not genuine you need to start thinking if that.s the kind of relationship you want to be in.

    1. Hi,

      Hi,

      You just need to take time and think about the situation.If you know your partner well and have had a close, long-term relationship, you can often tell when something’s not right. You might notice that they’ve begun spending a lot more time at work, they have less time for you and your family, start taking calls in private, and seem less committed to doing things with you. Maybe they’re paying attention to their looks, and they appear confused and detached. When you ask them if anything’s wrong, they shrug off your question.
      Whether you want to stay with your partner depends on a number of things. Is your partner willing to go on? If they are, what will it take for them to regain your trust? Will your trust in them ever be restored? How can you start rebuilding your relationship? The answers may not be simple, but give these questions some thought and it might help you decide on the right path to take.

      Hi Mark,

      She could in love with you. If you are not interested you will nee to let he know clearly but firmly. Try not to send mixed messages for instance when you accept gifts from her that have attachments. You also need to expect a negative reaction reaction but this should not make you waver or change your mind.

      Hi David, Communication is an essential part of any relationship, communication has to be too way. If there is inadequate communication between partners they may begin to grow apart. Perhaps you need to find if she is still interested in the relationship, then together you can agree how to make the communication work which may include agreeing on specific times to communicate among others.
