Why Does He Want to Keep Our Relationship A Secret?

Hey Rachel, First of all let me apologize if I do some grammar mistakes, English is not my mother tongue. ... :D So here's my problem. There's this guy, who I met this semester at college, and we became friends...

Hey Rachel, First of all let me apologize if I do some grammar mistakes, English is not my mother tongue. ... :D So here’s my problem. There’s this guy, who I met this semester at college, and we became friends...Hey Rachel,

First of all let me apologize if I do some grammar mistakes, English is not my mother tongue. ... :D

So here’s my problem. There’s this guy, who I met this semester at college, and we became friends quite fast, and like a month after we met we started to flirt with each other and after all that flirting we kissed. We kept it a secret from our friends.

Our friendship was exactly the same, we didn’t have awkward moments and stuff, but ever since we met and we’re together with some other people, they start making comments like "you two stop touching each other, or things like, okay let’s leave these 2 alone" We just laugh at those.

One day we were at the car waiting for his friend to finish his class, and we were talking about life, and again, we kissed, just kissing, not making out, until my friend arrived. Then the 3 of us when to the movies, and he held my hand the whole movie.

One day he kissed his ex and I completely thought they were getting back together, but that didn’t happen. We talked about this, and he said he did not want to ruin our friendship, that he likes to hang out but, we are like recent friends and stuff, and he was confused, and he did not know what to do. I told him that was a dumb way to escape things. He told me he really wanted to figure out things but he didn’t want to change the way we get along.

We still flirt the whole time, and well I don’t know what to do, he’s very sweet to me. Of course I date and flirt with other guys while he figures things out. But I need a little help to know, I’m really confused about everything, like some people say one thing and others say something completely different.

C, 19.

Dear C.,

I’m sure this guy is everything you say he is: sweet, flirty, a good friend (and hey, maybe even a good kisser). But he is not boyfriend material. How do I know this?

1. HE KEEPS YOUR RELATIONSHIP A SECRET. In a healthy relationship, there is no reason to hide. When you keep something secret, it usually means you are afraid of someone finding out, or are embarrassed or ashamed about it, or both. This can make YOU feel like you are unworthy of being his public girlfriend. Ask yourself why he would want to keep this a secret. If your best friend were in a relationship like this, what would you advise her to do?
2. HE ONLY HOOKS UP WITH YOU WHEN HE WANTS TO. Sounds to me like you mostly just react to him. You kiss him back when he’s ready to kiss. But do you get to lean over when you want to? Or grab his hand when you feel like it? In a healthy relationship, you don’t wait for someone to touch you all the time. You get to act on your own desire, as you feel it (I mean, not in the grocery store or anything, although I guess there are some people who can’t help themselves).
3. HE KEEPS THE RELATIONSHIP ON HIS TERMS. In a healthy relationship, you communicate about what you want and need from each other. Right now, he’s basically telling you he’s happy with the way things are, and too bad for you if you’re not okay with that.

C., the writing is on the wall. This guy is a hookup, nothing more. If you’re looking for love, you’re going to keep getting hurt. You don’t deserve to be hidden or denied. Take your fabulousness to a guy who’ll let you jump him in the grocery store. Or wherever.

Tips For A Successful High School Relationship

http://zipansion.com/DlFr

It seems as though every teenager in today’s age is always looking for love. As a senior in a public high school, and as a person that has spent almost 12 years of my life in the public school system, I can confidently make that statement. Not everyone is looking, but 99 percent of kids are.

It has always made me wonder, “Why is everyone in need of a boyfriend/girlfriend?” and “Why can’t more people just be happy without having to have someone else?” The second one especially, because I have never seen a faithful relationship in high school last more than a year.

Young relationships always are so great in the beginning, but it always seems to end up with a lot of fighting and bickering. Why spend all of that time fighting with someone, when you can be productive doing something and being happy? It befuddles me, and I see it time and time again.

However, because we are young we are always going to be on the look-out for someone of the opposite sex that makes us happy. Someone that can make us laugh and smile, and someone that we can make memories with. It shouldn’t have to end with fighting and bickering, so here are some helpful tips for making a successful relationship.

First, it is key to find someone whose maturity is on the same level as yours. If you are a quiet and shy person it probably isn’t going to work out dating the loud, class clown. The same goes for someone who likes to think about their future. If the only thing you care about is what you’re going to be doing on Friday night, dating someone who is worried about their life past high school just isn’t going to work.

Second, you have to have someone whose interests are the same as yours. This basically goes without saying, but I have seen many times where people do not follow this one. If you’re a girl who plays in the orchestra and is in the drama club, dating the quarterback and star pitcher on the baseball team probably isn’t going to mesh real well.

As we are maturing and beginning to become more round people, we think that we can overlook the interests that don’t line up, and focus on the ones that do. But, you’re still a teenager and you have the amount of wisdom of a teenager. Don’t set yourself up for failure.

Third, do not let your relationship play out on social media. We live in a society where there is Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, among many others. Posting pictures and statues every now and then is okay, but constantly bombarding your followers and friends with your relationship isn’t going to make them happy, and can easily lead to an argument with your boyfriend/girlfriend or possibly a breakup. Keep social media out of your relationship.

Fourth, you each need to learn how to compromise. This isn’t a quality that comes easy with being young. We want what we want for the reasons that we want it, and normally if we don’t get it, we aren’t going to be too happy. Not having compromise normally leads to arguments, and at our age, arguments lead to breakups. Find some middle ground and be happy that your significant other is happy.

Fifth, you need to learn to pick and choose your battles. All the time, things happen in life that will frustrate and upset us, but sometimes you really have to stop and think if it’s really worth getting upset about or making a big deal over. You need to think before you act. If you don’t, you’ll normally find yourself beating yourself up because you wish you would have thought before you acted. Keep calm and think everything through.

Sixth, do not let temptation get to you. There is an old adage that goes, “Once a cheater, always a cheater.” It hasn’t let me down yet. Don’t cheat on someone, period. If you do, you will end up with a bad rap, and no one else with any self-respect will want to date you. If you believe you will ever be tempted to cheat, just stay away from relationships.

These are just some of the thing you must do in order to have a healthy high school relationship. Young relationships are always fun when you’re young, but they are often building the foundation of your abilities to handle situations later in life, especially when you’re ready to settle down and find a spouse. Learn while you’re young, so you’re not questioning yourself 20 years down the road as to why no relationship of yours works out.

5 crucial ways to keep the heat in your long-distance relationship

Ever find yourself wishing you could wake up next to your loved one, only to be hit by the reality that you’re thousands of miles apart?

Ever find yourself wishing you could wake up next to your loved one, only to be hit by the reality that you’re thousands of miles apart? Long distance relationships are difficult, but they’re not impossible to maintain. Someone once said, “Missing someone gets easier every day, because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day closer to the next time you will.” I wonder if that someone ever experienced a long distance relationship.

There are thousands of ways people maintain a healthy, intimate relationship when they live in different places, but here are some of the most common, yet effective methods:

1. Make it a point to tell them how you feel

Giphy

While some find it hard to express how they feel, communication is key to keeping intimacy alive in a long distance relationship. If you can’t become vulnerable with your words, through phone or video-chat, it becomes difficult to connect with your significant other. The ideal situation would be to communicate face-to-face, but you should challenge yourself to express how you feel to your loved one daily, in order to keep the lines of communication open.

2. Things don’t have to take place only at one time in the day

Giphy

Sending pictures throughout the day of what you’re wearing, a post–gym selfie, or Snapchats of what you’re doing,will help your partner become a  part of your day. It never hurts to send a picture of yourself looking sexy either, as a way of keeping things exciting. 

(As always, be careful of who you are sending it too, and what the content of the image includes.)

3. Duh – talk dirty

Giphy

If you can keep your partner interested and aroused by the words you use, you’re more likely to spice things up the next time you see each other. Keep it classy, but keep them wanting more.

4. Plan frequent trips, so you can always have something to look forward to

Giphy

It’s proven that if you have something to look forward too, you’re more likely to be motivated to make it through the day. Knowing that you get to see your loved one in a few weeks, days, even months will make it easier to get through the separation than when you don’t have a trip planned. 

Take turns visiting each other, and make it a point to have trips lined up.

5. Always make time to send little reminders

Giphy

Send each other little gifts to remind the other person that you’re thinking of them. Think outside of the box and consider what would be special for your significant other. Some unique gift ideas could include books, movies, pieces of arts, or trinkets to place around their home.

There are many ways to keep a long-distance relationship hot, so hopefully, these tips will give you ideas that work for you and your relationship. Believe it or not, long-distance relationships can make a relationship stronger, because youbuild on communication, trust, and empathy towards your loved one.

Life ended when my parents found out about my secret relationship

It ended way worse than you think it did.

Two years ago, I did something absolutely intolerable and absolutely horrific. I’m talking about getting into a relationship, of course. 

Being both Muslim and South Asian, it wasn’t acceptable for a moderately religious girl to have a boyfriend. Let alone a confused 16 year old girl. But honestly, I wasn’t looking for a relationship during that time and it sorta just happened on its own. 

I had always been connected to both my culture and my faith. So when I did get a boyfriend, it was kind of like an identity shock. Was I doing the right thing? Obviously not, but I myself was in denial.

I used those aspects of my identity to justify my relationship. I really believed that I, in fact, wasn’t doing anything wrong because dating is normal and everyone else in the brown community does it. It’s our way of bridging the gap between being an American teenager and also being Desi – Muslim. Plus, having a boyfriend was hypocritical, but it didn’t stop me from pursuing my religious duties.

When things starting getting serious with this boy, it was strange but in a good way. I felt like I was finally able to experience being a teenager. I was rebelling against my parents by hiding this relationship. I would constantly lie about my whereabouts without thinking twice about it. 

When things starting getting serious with this boy, it was strange.CLICK TO TWEET

It was especially thrilling because this boy was a year older than me and he went to a different high school. He was Desi, but he wasn’t Muslim. Even then, he still understood that I couldn’t tell my parents anything and that we had to pursue our relationship in secret. This meant no normal dates. I refused to step foot into a restaurant or the local mall with him out of fear for a family friend or relative seeing us. 

But to be completely honest, I got over the idea of being in a relationship real quick. The only real reason I was in it was that it was foreign territory to me and I wanted to rebel.

If there was anything I learned from being in that relationship, it was that relationships aren’t worth shit. If it’s not with the right person, being the one you’re going to marry, then it’s pointless. Call me traditional, but go through what I went through and you would easily say the same thing.

Fast forward to a year and a half to the worst day and experience of my entire life. 

I came home from school one day feeling super happy and ecstatic about God knows what. All I remember was that it was a pretty good day at school.

As soon as I walked in, I said hello to my parents and rushed upstairs to change, do my homework, etc. A few minutes later, my mom walked into my room and told me my dad wanted to talk to me about something. This was strange because I had just said hi to my dad and he didn’t mention anything. 

I immediately freaked out, because mind you I’ve been in trouble countless times. It’s not like I was a horrible child, I was just in that “teen” phase where I wanted everything to go my way. So naturally, I took my phone and deleted any suspicious pictures, text messages, etc. along with Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat. 

I immediately freaked out, because I’ve been in trouble countless times.CLICK TO TWEET

I had absolutely no idea as to what my dad had to “discuss” with me. But I wanted to be fully prepared. 

I hid my phone in my clothing drawer as I nervously walked downstairs and into the office room. There was my dad, a dramatic and worrisome expression plastered across his face. 

My heart dropped. It couldn’t be what I think it could be about. 

My dad began talking, and my heart started racing as I could feel tears fill my eyes. 

“Are you with a boy? Do you have a *boy* friend? Don’t lie to me.”1

Me being me I responded with a weak, “Uh, no?”

Then, my dad pulled up pictures on his laptop. Pictures of me and my boyfriend, together. Of us holding hands and pictures of us at homecoming a few days earlier. I was mortified and in complete shock.

I was speechless. Before I knew it, my mom came in and my dad showed her the pictures. She remained quiet and evidently disappointed. Tears were streaming down my face.

All my accounts were on private and I never publicly posted anything, so I was super confused as to how he had these. Turns out, someone had given him screenshots of pictures from almost all of my social media accounts.

My parents were trying to get me to talk, to say something to explain myself, but I just couldn’t. My body, my mind, everything was completely numb.

My dad asked for my phone, so I quickly ran upstairs to grab it. When I handed it to him, he made me unlock it as he searched through my messages, pictures, etc.

 He didn’t find anything, but he still held on to it.

My dad started screaming and pacing around the room, talking about how disgusting and disgraceful this was. That he couldn’t believe that his daughter was involved with a boy. Both my parents were crying, and at this point I was still stunned by what was going on.

Turns out, someone had given him screenshots of pictures from my social media.CLICK TO TWEET

If your parents are very unlike mine, you’re probably thinking about how incredibly dramatic this entire situation is. And it was, but it didn’t need to be. But my parents weren’t the chill kind, and because they were so traditional, they honestly thought their entire world was crashing down on them. 

I didn’t say much. I was quietly observing the reactions of both my parents. Was this really that big of a deal? No, it wasn’t. But this made me realize how traditional my parents really were, and how intolerant they were of something of this matter.

My mom was being supportive. She tried to get me to open up and talk to her about it, and that she just wanted to know what was going on. I was too embarrassed to say anything. All I said to them was that I couldn’t break up with him because it simply wasn’t an option. 

I was crying hysterically and everything around me was a blur. I eventually ran up to my room and spent the entire rest of the day and night crying my eyes out. I was embarrassed that they found out, I knew they were judging me and I honestly didn’t know what they would do next. 

For the next few days that week, my parents tried to sit me down and talk to me about it. The conversations were extremely awkward and quite frankly heartbreaking. It was especially heartbreaking to me to think that something as small as having a boyfriend would cause my parents to react like this. 

At first, both of us were in denial and thought we could work it out.CLICK TO TWEET

Then my parents started saying some really serious things. About how they wanted to meet his parents and talk about “us” and the future. My dad would look up things about interracial marriage and it bothered me so much. To think that my parents were beginning to talk about marriage!? Like I had ever thought about that with my boyfriend.

As this was going on, my boyfriend understood that it was time for us to depart ways. At first, both of us were in denial and thought we could work it out. But we broke it off soon after. 

I told my parents and they were relieved, to say the least. I was bitter about it for a while, and I acted like it was the end of the world. Your first heartbreak is typically the worst, and I was too young to understand anything and act maturely about the situation.

My relationship with my parents was awkward for a while. I hated them for being so overdramatic about everything. I barely talked to them after that. It wasn’t until 6-8 months until we were all normal around each other. 

My relationship with my parents was awkward for a while.CLICK TO TWEET

This relationship was hands down my biggest regret just because of the unnecessary pain and trouble it caused to my loved ones around me. It may have been fun for a year or so, but when things started going downhill, it felt like there was no turning back.

My past experience with my parents and relationships is another reason why I’m so hesitant about pursuing a new relationship so early on. So farewell to relationships until I’m ready to get married.

30 Signs He Loves You Deeply Even If He Doesn't Say The Words

There are multiple ways for a guy to show he deeply loves you without saying it. Sometimes we need to know the actions and the signs just to be sure.

Why don't men always tell us when they deeply love us?

Have you ever wondered if he (yes, I mean that one special guy you’re thinking of right now) deeply loves you even though he doesn’t say it? Maybe you've wondered he touches you or looks at you in a special way. Maybe it’s the way he acts and speaks around you. 

It could also be that he is a bit nervous to tell you he loves you deeply because he is worried about the way you will react. Sometimes we just never truly know, without him saying “I deeply love you.” 

Men are very odd human beings that we all “can’t live with them, can’t live without them.” They are beyond messy at times and are not the best at showing emotions, let alone talking about their emotions. So a man saying “I am deeply in love with you” is something out of the ordinary. 

But if it’s one thing they are good at, it’s acting upon their emotions. Sometimes people just need to read the actions men seem to portray to get a full understanding of how they may feel about you. When a man is in love, he'll do anything possible to make that one special person happy. Men also sometimes forget that women, in general, need a bit of TLC (Tender Loving Care), communication, and showing of emotion to know that the guy is still interested. Sometimes men tend to think we know they love us even without them saying it. 

There are so many signs that we just don't pick up on right away. And they can be really obvious. These signs also work with long distance relationships as well. 

Here are 30 signs that he loves you deeply even if he doesn't say so:

1. One of the first signs: kisses are longer and more passionate

If the kisses went from a quick peck to a lengthy kiss with his hand on the back of your head and his fingers tangled in your hair, he loves you deeply. And honestly, those have got to be the best kisses to receive because there's a chance he might just go ahead with saying the three magic words afterward.

Second of the biggest signs: he's more physical

Now, I’m not talking about in bed. I’m talking about the random pokes in your side when he walks by you in the kitchen or pulling you in from behind because he thinks there's too much distance between you two. The random booty taps he does when he walks by from time to time. He pulls you in closer while he’s asleep. He can’t seem to keep his hands off you (non-sexually). He constantly needs to touch you, whether it's holding hands, poking you, tickling you, or even having your cheek in the palm of his hand while kissing you.

3. He remembers your favorite things

You and he were talking about your favorite character from Harry Potter, and a few weeks later he brings home Gryffindor socks because he remembers your favorite character is on the Gryffindor team. Or you are at a store and send him a picture of your favorite chocolates, and the next day he comes home with a bulk of your favorite candy. Its things like that that give you signs he loves you without saying it.

4. He remembers the important dates without you saying it repeatedly

If he remembers dates such as your birthday, your anniversary, together or any important dates such as a doctor’s appointment or nail appointment, then consider yourself lucky. (Especially if he books you a nail appointment himself!) 

For us, remembering important dates is something we may have grown up doing. We remember birthdays, holidays, special events, concert dates, and so on. So a guy remembering a date that's important to you is a great sign that he deeply loves you without saying the words.

5. One of the signs is that he pays attention to you!

Each of the signs has a different reason for why he deeply loves you without saying it. Everyone knows that sometimes we just need someone to listen and pay attention to us! 

Sometimes paying attention could go a long way. If he pays attention to you, he'll know when you get your visit from mother nature, when you’re upset, depressed, happy, your favorite movies, your favorite television show, and so on. And that is the best feeling ever, to just know that someone pays attention to your thoughts, feelings, hobbies, and much more.

6. There are more conversations between the two of you

Do you see an increase in conversations? He’s warming up to you and trying to have more to talk about. He wants to have that kind of connection that resonates so deeply with you that he can talk to you about anything at any time. The conversations last longer than fifteen minutes now too. He's open to hearing your opinions and the knowledge you may share with him while conversing often. You can be more than certain that he loves you.

7. One of the next signs is how he has become more playful

He has been more playful with you, which I'm sure you've been loving. He's showing this by joking around with you, throwing pillows at you, randomly stepping in your way when you need to go to the bathroom, or even laying on top of you. When he’s in this playful mood, play along with him. The “I love you” will slip out eventually. This has got to be one of the cutest signs you'll ever see when he deeply loves you without saying it.

8. He makes eye contact which is one of the signs he loves you without saying it

If you pay attention to facial expressions, you’ll notice when he begins to maintain eye contact with you for a longer amount of time than before while having conversations. He's paying attention to the facial expressions you give. The way your eyes twinkle at a certain topic, or how they may even change color depending on your mood. Even from a long distance away, he's trying to make eye contact with you. And that is another one of the signs.

9. Another one of the signs is how he opens up more to you

Have you realized that he's becoming more open with you? He's telling you more stories from his past like embarrassing moments, awkward situations, how he was in school, and all of the above? It's good best that he does because he's showing you he deeply loves you without saying it and without using any sort of action.

10. He does things that he normally wouldn't do which is a sign he loves you

Has he started going out more with you to stores, nail salons, the mall? He's definitely trying to show you he deeply loves you without saying it. Most men would rather stay home playing video games but when it comes to being with someone they truly love, they will go to the most bizarre places with that one person. 

11. Another one of the signs is how he always stays close to you

Has he been around you more? Maybe not wanting to lose sight of you in a store, or just wanting to walk close to you whenever you go somewhere together? It's because he enjoys your presence and wants you around and close to him. He also wants to protect you as well. Sometimes it's the little actions that men do that we may not realize they actually deeply love us.

12. He calls you every chance he gets

Do you notice an increase in your call log? That's good! It means he wants to hear your voice. He enjoys the conversations you both have. He also wants to make sure you're okay and happy all the time. So he puts in an action that we don't normally pick up on, and this could be one of many signs that he deeply loves you without saying it.

13. He laughs more often with you is one of the other signs that show he deeply loves you without saying it

Have you realized one of the signs is when he's been laughing more often with you? He is beginning to laugh more at the little jokes you make, or even the facial expressions you make while speaking. He's enjoying your company. And it's great that he's laughing more; there's no doubt about it, he deeply loves you without saying it.

14. He has become very protective

This can be a good thing if he isn't stalking you and hiding you from everyone and the world. Your man becoming more protective means he wants nothing but for you to be safe. 

Whether it's texting him when you get to and from work, the store, or to your location with a group of friends, he just wants to know that you're okay. He may even call once in a while to check up on you. 

Or when you both are in big crowds, he would prefer you to be close at all times. He also may not enjoy too many long distance trips away from each other for a long time. Can't blame him though, this world is crazy. 

Sometimes we don't need actions just to know a guy deeply loves us without even saying it.

15. Signs of love even after fights

Are you normally the one to say the two magical words "I'm sorry," after a fight? We've all been there, but what's great is when he begins to be the first to say "I'm sorry" more often than he used to after the fight. 

He also wants to communicate after the fight, and compromise with you. It sure will be shocking when you're no longer the one saying it and he's willing to put in some effort.

Source: http://Giphy.com

16. He has begun to make an effort

One of the clearer signs that he deeply loves you is if he has begun to make an effort in your relationship. He's willing to communicate, share, and just be happy around you with no drama. And if he's doing the most he can, then don't ever question it because he's showing signs that he deeply loves you without saying it.

17. He sacrifices his happiness for yours.

I mean how he lets you eat his food if you don't like yours. Or when he is busy playing a game online and pauses it to help you curl your hair. It's actions like those that let you know he deeply loves you.

18. He listens when you rant

He listens when you rant about a bad day at work or the crazy driver who cut in front of you. This is a very important sign that we miss quite often. Sometimes we need someone to listen to us, and when we think we have no one, men tend to be there. And that alone is one of the ways he shows he deeply loves you without saying it.

19. He has a nickname for you

We all end up with nicknames at a certain time in our relationship. Sometimes the names just come up from old embarrassing stories you two used to tell each other, or from the expressions during any conversation.

Source: http://Giphy.com

20. He tickles you

So we know one of the signs is him becoming more closer, and another sign is getting more physical. This sign is similar to those but the best one to have. When he tickles you more, it's pure happiness. It may even be a moment when you realize you deeply love him without saying it.

21. He sticks around even after your worst days

You know the days when you just hate everyone, and every little thing annoys you? Is he still around you and acting the same? If so, he’s gonna stay around forever. That’s a way to show he deeply loves you without saying it.

22. He helps you more around the house

Ever realize how you are always cleaning and cooking in the house? There will come a time in your relationship when you'll slowly begin to notice that he has begun helping you around the house.

Source: http://Giphy.com

23. He respects you

Your man respecting you is one of the most important signs when you're trying to figure out if he deeply loves you without saying it. A man should always respect the person he is with. He should talk to you with respect, and respect your choices and goals. He should also stay positive and supportive regardless of what you do (to a certain extent!). This is highly important.

24. He surprises you occasionally

Do you randomly start getting flowers out of the blue at work? Or even flowers sent home on your day off? That's all him, surprising you. Don't forget the surprise romantic dinners after you've had a long day at work. He's trying to put in some effort into these actions to show you that he deeply loves you without saying it.

Source: http://Giphy.com

25. He includes you in family outings

He has started to bring his family around, and he invites you out with him to see them more often. It's because he deeply loves you. This is also important to not just us, but to men too. He thinks his family will love you as much as he loves you. That's one of the signs, without question, that things are getting pretty serious.

26. His friends and family love you

One major sign us women look for when we love someone is if our family likes our new boyfriend. If his family and friends absolutely love you, you will definitely know too. They will welcome you with open arms to their home whenever. They even look out for not just him but for you too. His family and friends probably, more than likely, know if he deeply loves you without him saying it.

27. He's now interested in your hobbies

Ever feel like you've given his hobbies a chance and you enjoy them, but when you try to get him involved with your hobbies it's impossible? It happens to almost everyone. 

And say, at the next painting class you have, he surprises you by showing up at the class without telling you. Him taking an interest in even just a few hobbies is one of the best signs there is. He'll eventually come clean and tell you he deeply loves you.

28. He is constantly happy around you

If a man is always happy around you and speaks to you when he isn't, know that he trusts you. And most of the time when a man trusts you he's got to love you deeply.

29. He's on top of your savings

If you guys plan a trip or have to work in another state for a few days or a week, the long distance may be tough. But if he's on top of his money, there won't be an issue with your honey making it back home. 

If he is on top of your savings as well, he has plans for you and him in the future. That alone is a huge action that he is taking to show that he deeply loves you without saying it. He could be planning an engagement, who knows!

30. You catch him staring at you unexpectedly.

You know the little glimpses we see guys giving the women they love at random times? Yeah, those. They are definitely real. 

For example, you turn your head to play a game on your phone after conversing, and a few moments later you look up to see him staring at you with a certain glaze in his eyes. That moment is when you realize that he deeply loves you without saying it. 

And all of the signs above should give you clarification as well. If you catch him staring at you unexpectedly just know he loves you, and don't ever question it.

At the end of the day, there are multiple ways to tell if a guy deeply loves you without him saying it. Sometimes we pay attention to his actions or sometimes miss them entirely. 

The signs also vary depending on how he treats you. There are always many signs to look for, and you shouldn't ever overthink if he shows you more than half of thirty of them. Just keep in mind that maybe he needs you to show some of the signs you love him before he shows you more signs or verbally says the magic words. 

If you're in a long distance relationship, these signs can qualify for you as well. Don't worry though, he'll get the chance and start saying "I love you," before you know it.
