Hello girls. Does anyone know how to understand that a man is in love with you if he hides his feelings? And I’ll tell you all this now, stop hiding for them already.
Unlike women, men are straightforward. They are rarely tactful until they are in love. Men are hidden in their feelings and do not like to talk about them.
Psychology of a man in love
Manifestation of love in men can be of 3 types:
- During the period of falling in love, a person makes every effort to win the girl he likes. He compliments her, surprises her, asks her out on dates, and tries to impress her in any other way.
- A man gets lost in the presence of the woman he likes. His thoughts are confused, he is nervous, and feels insecure. Such a person may remain silent because of his shyness or say something different from what he thinks.
- Young people who do not talk about their feelings and try not to show their emotions in any way, they hide all their experiences behind a mask of calm. You can often find out about their feelings only from the man himself.
If the guy is much younger or older
Such relationships have their pros and cons. Let's look at them in more detail.
Pros and cons if the guy is older
Both boys and girls see benefits in such relationships. Many men like to feel like they are leading in a relationship, to be a mentor and patron for their chosen one, and it is easier to achieve this in a relationship with a partner who is much younger. Young girls also often strive for relationships with older guys - as a rule, such chosen ones are much more successful than the girl’s peers, can share life experience, stand confidently on their feet and are able to provide financial support.
The disadvantages of such relationships often stem from their advantages. As she grows older, the girl no longer needs the advice and support of a man, and she begins to be annoyed by his guardianship and authoritarianism.
Pros and cons if the guy is younger
Recently, more and more often there are couples in which the girl is much older than her partner. Disillusioned with their peers, tired of their busy careers and pragmatism, girls begin to look for romance, and often lovers who turn out to be younger than them can provide them with such feelings. Guys see their advantages in such a relationship - they like that their partner is more experienced and in many ways seems more interesting to them than their peers - while the chosen one, most often, looks no worse than them, and in some ways is superior.
The disadvantage for a woman can be a feeling of self-doubt. It begins to seem to her that the guy will soon get tired of such a romance, and he will turn his attention to younger girls.
How to distinguish love from sympathy?
A man’s behavior when showing sympathy and falling in love is often similar. Both feelings cause pleasant experiences, positive emotions. But there are also some differences in them. When a man likes him, it will be pleasant to spend time with a woman and communicate with her, however, if she is not around, the lover’s thoughts will not constantly return to the object of sympathy.
If a man is in love, he will constantly want to see the woman, be near her all the time, and have physical contact with her. Thoughts will be limited only to the girl. When communicating with her, his mood improves.
It is important to remember that both friendship and male love develop on the basis of sympathy. It is important not to confuse these 2 feelings, since a mistake can lead to disappointment.
Words and actions
Thinking about how a man understands that he is in love, girls subconsciously expect compliments, beautiful words and gentle chirps. When expectations are not met, doubts and worries become a woman’s constant companions. But men claim that such experiences are completely in vain, since they prefer to express their love through actions. Showing emotions and putting feelings on display is a serious challenge for many men. Therefore, you should not torture either yourself or your loved one, you just need to enjoy communication and appreciate the actions of a man, not his words.

- By placing his hands in the genital area, for example, in his trouser pockets or behind his belt, a man makes it clear to a woman that he is interested in her as more than a friend.
Brings more romance into communication5
His character changes in a positive direction in the presence of someone he likes. He becomes softer, sweeter, more tolerant and more attentive. Even if it seemed that a person was rude and ill-mannered, then love turns everything upside down and he becomes his absolute opposite.
In the presence of a girl, he tries to use less foul language, does not raise his voice, and generally tries to be the best version of himself. And the most interesting thing is that with everyone except her, he will behave as he is used to. And only with a girl will his romantic nature be revealed. He will literally melt from the warm feelings overwhelming him.
Only those who are truly in love can allow such “licentiousness” in character. This feeling allows you to be more attentive to your beloved’s requests, memory works better, and intuition too. Due to this, he can pleasantly surprise, remembering everything that the girl says and at a moment when she is sad, spontaneously come and give her favorite flowers and sweets. Just to make her feel a lot better.
He will also be the most caring. He will always be interested in whether everything is fine, whether it is comfortable and ask about many other little things, as long as his passion is happy with everything. If there is such a gentleman next to you, then keep in mind that all this is not in vain.
Manifestations of love depending on age
A person in love behaves differently at different ages.
Young people are more emotional in expressing their feelings. They strive to show the girl their strength, courage, and dexterity. This can lead to rash actions. Men over 35 years old try to demonstrate to a woman their care and attentiveness, they try to support her or help her in a difficult situation, to make her life easier.
The signs of a man in love after 45 years are restraint. Often this is due to his negative experience in the field of love relationships. They approach the object of their affection with caution and spend a long time testing their feelings. In such cases, the development of relationships largely depends on the woman’s initiative.
A young person's behavior can be influenced by many aspects, incl. the zodiac sign under which he was born.
Trivia and hobbies
When assessing the signs of falling in love, do not forget that men rarely pay attention to the little things. They are more interested in the image as a whole. They may not notice the woman's earrings or new hairstyle, but the feeling that their beloved is beautiful and well-groomed will certainly remain. But the husband will certainly appreciate it if delicious food is prepared and the house is sparkling clean. Many men understand love at the everyday level as caring.
You should not be offended by a man if he devotes more attention and free time to his hobby than to a woman. This doesn't mean he doesn't have feelings. He’s just a fan of football or his “swallow”, but he loves a woman. For men these are completely different concepts.

How to understand that a woman is in love with a man?
A woman's love is different from the manifestations of a man's love. You can understand that a girl is not indifferent to a young man by the following signs:
- A woman in love has a special look. She can look tenderly at the person she likes, but when she tries to catch her gaze, she will try to look away, downcast. Passionate natures, without looking away, look at the object of sympathy. Sometimes a demonstrative aversion of eyes can indicate love.
- An embarrassed smile is also often an indicator of a girl’s concern. If a woman laughs wildly at a man's jokes, this indicates her deep sympathy for him.
- By the girl's voice you can determine what emotions she experiences in relation to the object of sympathy. If during a conversation the timbre of the voice becomes lower, the words sound gentle, then this indicates falling in love. An indication of it may be a woman’s desire to talk about topics that may be of interest to the object of her attention.
If a girl, in the absence of a man, constantly mentions his name in conversations and tries to start a conversation about him, this indicates that she is not indifferent to this man.
