Quite often, women in relationships expect initiative from men, especially when they are in love. But the stronger sex cannot always speak openly about their feelings. Therefore, a woman should be able to recognize hidden signs of love. After all, if the initiative is in her hands, then it is unlikely that she will let her happiness go away. Let's list the factors that will help you understand that a man is in love, but hides his feelings.

What drives men who hide their love

At the stage of the inception of a relationship, a man really quite often tries to hide his feelings, but he does it unconsciously. The main reason for this is the inability to decide whether this is the woman he wanted to meet, to start a family.

Among the main reasons that prevent confessing love, the following can be distinguished:

• Many men are convinced that it is necessary to show indifference so that no one thinks that he is weak. This is especially true for adolescents who believe that this behavior makes them more attractive.
• If a man does not marry before the age of 30, then he develops a bachelor complex. Such men are accustomed to independence, and the appearance of a woman is regarded by them as an invasion. Bachelors are afraid to adapt to someone, listening to someone else's opinion, they do not want to change their habits. It is quite difficult for them to admit not only to the woman, but also to themselves that a loved one has appeared.
• If a man's last relationship ended unsuccessfully, he may be afraid of new ones. Such men close in themselves, because they believe that new, not yet begun relationships will end, like the previous ones.
• A man is afraid of being rejected - most often it manifests itself in shy and insecure people, as well as those who once failed in relationships with women and are afraid to "step on the same rake."
• When a man is not sure of a woman's feelings, he cannot confess his love to her, as he is afraid to be disappointed in his partner.
• Older men are afraid of losing their freedom. They are used to changing partners regularly. Most often, this behavior is associated with complexes that have arisen in childhood. If a little boy was deprived of his mother's love, he is unlikely to want to be devoted to a woman. Such men often have a feeling of rejection and it is not easy to cope with it.

Regardless of what is the reason for the fear of recognition of feelings, a man will not be able to hide them for a long time. Therefore, if a woman needs someone who is nearby, she will need to learn to understand whether a man is in love with her or not.

Signs of falling in love

Probably, there is not a single woman in the world who would not expect a declaration of love from the other half. But what about those who cannot hear the cherished three words from their beloved man: “I love you”? In this case, you will have to master the skills of recognizing falling in love.

Here are some signs that will help you understand what feelings connect a woman and her significant other:

1. If a man wants to be close even at a time when a woman does not look very good or is sick, is ready to help at any time of the day or night, then he probably has a feeling of love for her.
2. Even if a woman has many flaws, a man in love will always characterize her only on the positive side. Many people think that this is "blind love" that will not lead to anything good, but nothing can be done about it. If a man loves a woman, then he does not notice her shortcomings.
3. Going on a walk together, it is worth looking at how the other half behaves. If he slows down so that the lady can keep up with him, then, most likely, he has far from friendly feelings for her. Scientists have found that if a man changes his pace at the moment a woman is next to him, then he has fallen in love. The man adjusts to the pace of the woman's walking involuntarily.
4. Scientists from Stanford conducted a study according to which a man in love feels 40% less pain when he looks at a photograph of his beloved woman. Scientists heated the hands of their subjects to different temperatures, they, in turn, looked at photographs of their loved ones, and the pain threshold decreased. Of course, we do not recommend putting such an experience on your man, but if you notice that he has become much more resilient than before, then most likely he is in love and wants to show how he can easily endure pain.
5. A man in love cannot fall asleep, as the energy level jumps at night. Love is a drug, so lovers try to be with each other always close, and if this is not possible, then the brain cannot switch from feeling of love to sleep. Therefore, if a man with whom a woman is dating reports that he could not sleep, most likely, it is all about her.
6. The brain of a man in love releases dopamine, adrenaline. At the time when he sees the woman he is in love with, his cheeks start to redden, pupils enlarge, palms become sweaty. Against this background, "love illness" develops, the result of which may be loss of appetite, the appearance of discomfort.
7. When talking with a partner, his voice becomes softer. In addition, a man in love unconsciously changes his tone, adjusting it to the woman's voice. Such imitation is an expression of interest and affection for a person.
8. A man in love wants to spend as much time as possible with his beloved. A man will be happy if he spends 85% of his day with a woman who interested him not as a sexual object, but as a person with whom he plans to connect his life.

If you notice that a man wants to make you happier, feels in love with you, you should not abandon such a person, especially if you are not indifferent to him.

Outcomes

If a woman realizes that a man is in love with her, she does not need to give up her happiness. After all, this may be exactly what she was looking for. To understand whether a man is in love or just has a feeling of affection, it is enough to observe his actions. Falling in love is the foundation that makes it possible to build strong and healthy relationships.
