Relationship Advice: 10 unromantic signs he’s madly in love with you
Who asserted that champagne and roses represent the pinnacle of romance? I don’t know about you, but this seems a bit too cliché to me. Usually what makes your heart melt isn’t actually “romantic” at all. That’s because true love doesn’t consist of such polished moments. Love is much simpler.
Here are 10 unromantic signs that indicate he loves you deeply.
1. He enjoys routine tasks.
Everyone can make it romantic with a helicopter ride to the top of a mountain, where a candlelit dinner awaits. But true love makes going to the store or cooking dinner special and romantic.
2. You don’t have awkward silences.
Having someone to talk to all night and lose yourself in your conversations is truly romantic. But sometimes we forget that real pleasure is being with someone you don’t feel the need to constantly talk to. When there is love, there is silence, but it is never awkward.
3. He sees your weaknesses.
Wearing rose-colored glasses that conceal all your imperfections can be romantic. The true sign of love is when he chooses you despite your flaws because he knows you deserve it.
4. He loves you in any way.
Then, when you do not stand on ceremony with him, you can be angry—but for him, this is another reason to show love to you. He will simply hug you to support you physically and emotionally. He loves you when you need it, not when it’s easy.
5. He catches you popping pimples.
Dressing up for him is romantic, but nothing says love like being yourself and not worrying about him seeing you without makeup.
6. He tells you why he’s angry.
We like to imagine love as a world full of sunshine and flowers. But this is an impractical definition of love. In love, there is no need to hide negative emotions. The epitome of love is the freedom to tell someone how you feel because you trust the person.
7. He is cleaning the toilet.
This is not a bouquet of flowers or a chocolate bar for you to buy. How lovely to know that someone will do your worst chores for you. Love is real.
8. He tells it like it is.
Instead of saying that you are always beautiful if a man loves you, he will not be afraid to give honest but tactful criticism.
9. He lets you do what you want.
The constant need to be close to each other is a distorted version of romance. A loving man will encourage you to follow your dreams and realize yourself.
10. He values your opinion.
Even if you have different tastes and views, he considers your feelings and respects them.
