Some women think men are always so “macho,” clueless about love, but it’s just because they don’t understand men enough.
Maybe, before falling in love with a woman, a man may seem ignorant of romance, but once he falls completely in love, he naturally knows how to show his love through actions.
However, these men’s intense feelings of love often don’t directly show on their faces. They prefer using actions to convey: “I’ve fallen completely in love with you.”
So, women, you need to feel, observe the little things between you, judge his emotional direction through his actions, rather than naively listen to love.
You should know, many of a man’s behaviors already have clear subtext; it’s just a matter of whether you can catch it.
If a man in front of you lacks restraint, even treats you excessively, his subtext is actually saying: “I’ve fallen in love with you.”
You can observe those “domineering CEO” dramas to see how the male lead shows signs of liking the female lead, often by overstepping boundaries or intentionally getting involved in her life.
When a man truly starts to care about you or has undisclosed thoughts about you, he can’t help but show it.
Men want everyone around you to know you’re taken and that your boyfriend is outstanding.
This oddity is just men’s possessiveness at work.
Love has strong exclusivity; men can’t tolerate any other man coming near the woman they like.
The so-called lack of restraint means men may unreasonably get angry with you sometimes, even if you feel you did nothing wrong, but he looks very angry.
You’re puzzled, then he looks at you with a pitiful look and murmurs that you took five minutes to reply to his message today.
While you’re still trying to remember the exact time, he starts complaining about your indifference and bad habit of ignoring people.
But you’re puzzled because you’re not at all the person he describes.
In fact, women don’t need to be puzzled because when a man starts “educating” you or complaining about you without manners, it actually means he’s starting to care about you. Every word and action of yours is crucial to him.
While men enjoy flirting with women, they don’t want it to go overboard and turn into a clichéd drama of testing and tormenting each other.
So, when necessary, they will choose to define the relationship with the woman. Their common method to cut the ambiguity is to overstep boundaries.
For example, a man may have acted gentlemanly before, maintaining a proper distance, but once he decides to get an answer from you, he will suddenly appear very friendly with you.
Unaware bystanders see you both getting along, may tease you. If you stay silent or even play along, he understands your intentions and solidifies the relationship.
Sometimes a man’s overstepping is to challenge other men around you and, at the same time, convey his love for you, so you can quickly understand his intentions and decide whether to be with him.
You see, men can be so contradictory sometimes. Despite falling in love with you, they hesitate to confess. Instead, they repeatedly test before deciding on the next move.
But with a little sensitivity, you can understand the subtext behind their actions.
A writer once said: “If a girl is very generous, then it means she doesn’t like you enough.”
In fact, the same goes when speaking of men.
Because a man won’t be flawlessly polite in front of a woman he likes or loves. He will inevitably slip up a bit, letting the woman notice.
When a man doesn’t care about you, he treats you like a guest, overly gentle and considerate. He just needs to please you temporarily, so he can be polite and flawless.
But when a man truly cares about you, he will reveal his true self.
For example, he may be rude and impatient with you, but it’s not because he dislikes you. On the contrary, he wants you to understand him more, to get closer to his life and love him.
Women should understand that if a man lacks a sense of boundaries and limits when interacting with you, there’s no need to doubt; his subtext is: “I’ve fallen in love with you.”
Love is like poverty and coughing, it’s hard to hide. So even if men try to conceal it, some subconscious behaviors will reveal their true feelings.
For instance, he may say he doesn’t care about you interacting with someone of the opposite gender, but he keeps mentioning that person, testing you intentionally.
Or when you’re worried about trivial matters at home, he starts telling extremely cold jokes, awkward but very sincere.
No one’s love is groundless, so men are no exception; if a man genuinely loves someone, he will always want to reveal it.
So, women, if you have a male friend who lacks boundaries and limits in your interaction, be very cautious because his implication is not anything else but that he’s interested in you, wants to be with you.
Even if he doesn’t say it, his actions have already proven everything.
When a man frequently involves himself in your life, it means he wants to be part of your future. In simpler terms, he’s in love with you and wants a long-lasting relationship.
If you have feelings for him, give him some hints to confess and start a sweet romance with him.
If you don’t feel the same way, just tell him directly, don’t waste each other’s time and end up with no friendship either.
