So, if you’re a woman out there dating a new guy, you’re probably hoping there are some undeniable signs that a man is falling in love with you so you can stop feeling impatient and relax.
First things first: if you’re actively searching for signs he loves you, you’re probably coming from a place of anxiety. You know how you feel, and you want to know how he feels, too. You don’t want to invest your time or risk your heart if the two of you aren’t on the same page about where things are going between you.
So, you look for signs, and some are indeed obvious. He’s affectionate with you. He maintains eye contact. He spends time with you. Maybe he even flat-out says it.

15 Hidden Signs a Man Is Falling in Love With You

When a man is falling in love with you, he accepts your flaws unconditionally. Even the things you may be insecure about? Yep, he finds those fascinating. He encourages you to accept yourself and actively tries to merge himself with you.
