Ways To Test a Man's Love - Find Out How to Know If He Truly Loves You or If He's Playing You

Sometimes, even if he tells you the magic words, you just don't know if he's here to stay or if this great relationship is actually, in his mind, just temporary for him. So, you may want to know what to do to see through the confusion:

The Sign in His Eyes

Do you see how some people's eyes light up when they see the person they love? It could be a child, a spouse, a lover, but their eyes suddenly emanate warmth and happiness the moment the object of their love enters a room.

Are you allowed 'in his circle'?

If you have been dating for a while he'll want you to meet the significant people in his life; mother, father, close relatives or his best friend, whomever he feels closest to. No matter how embarrassing it may be for him, he'll want to share this with you.

He makes little sacrifices for you

His favourite TV shows, his favourite friends-get-together, his favourite sports event, none of that really matters to him anymore. He finds it all insignificant if he faces the choice of doing something that he knows makes you happy or opting out to do undertake his 'old' activities.

He shares his deepest feelings and secrets

Intimacy is not only physical. In fact, real intimacy comes from the mind. If he shares his innermost secrets, his experiences, his childhood memories (good or bad), he is stretching out to truly connecting with you, which is something we do only with those we truly cherish.

Do you feature in his future?

Does he say 'we' (meaning he and you) when he talks about the future? Does he feature you in his future plans? Does he mention a future holiday for the two of you? A time when you 2 may move in together? If so, you're on the right track to real love.

Loyalty

Loyalty is very important if a relationship is made of true love and is going to last. As a very last resort, you could get someone really attractive (whom he does not know) to hit on him to check his reaction (as a very last resort, and he must never find out). Alternatively, attentively see how he reacts to others' flirting towards him.

I Am Ready to Love: How to Love Again After a Failed Relationship

Do you want to give love another try but are afraid to get hurt again? Do you want to get into a relationship but don't know how to start again? Are you already hesitant of entrusting your heart to a man again? Then trying to let go of these negative thoughts and feelings for love is a never ending journey of learning and understanding that you should not be afraid of taking a chance.

So you have bravely told yourself "I am ready to love again" but there is still that place in your heart where you fear of getting hurt and fear of going through the painful process of breaking up. It is normal to feel this way, but you should not let these things hinder you from being happy again. Loving someone and being loved in return is one of the most beautiful things that could ever happen in your life. If you have already said the phrase "I am ready to love" then it means that you are in the process of total healing already and you just need something that will boost your confidence.

Here are helpful tips in getting into a relationship again after a painful break-up.

1. Learn and Let Go of your Mistakes: Learning from your wrong decisions in your past relationship will make you become wiser this time, but you should also learn to let go of painful and negative emotions and start anew. You can never have a happy relationship if you are still too attached with the pain and hatred that you feel for your ex. When you say, "I am ready to love", you should be willing to enter into a relationship and give love to someone without thinking of the negative things that might occur and just let your feelings flow.

2. Be Confident: A good way to start a new relationship with someone is by telling yourself "I am ready to love". This way you will have the confidence that you can give your best this time and provide your partner the love and attention needed. You can help boost your confidence by reading encouraging books regarding relationships or by surrounding yourself with people who will support your new journey in love. Believing in your capabilities will enable you to bring out the best in yourself.

3. Keep a Positive Attitude: Tell yourself "I am ready to love" and be optimistic that it will work out this time. When you get into a new relationship with a positive outlook, you can find ways of expressing your real feelings that will assure your partner that you are really into the relationship and willing to give your partner a chance to show you what love is.

4. Do not Rush: When you come to the day when you can finally tell yourself "I am ready to love", then you can start sending the message to the man you like. However you must be careful not to rush things as well. Give yourself time to sort things out and find out if the person is the right one to receive your love and start a relationship with.
