- [Narrator] Hey there Psych To Goers.
Would you agree, actions speak louder than words?
This can often be the case for some people
especially when it comes to expressions of love.
Saying the three magic words can be a nice thing to hear
from your significant other,
but there are other ways that people choose
to express their love for others.
Here are some signs which may that somebody really
loves you even though they don't say it.
Number one, you feel safe with them or in their company.
Do you ever have the feeling
that you're completely relaxed when in their presence?
Safety is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship
so it goes without saying
that having a partner who respects you, your feelings,
and your wellbeing may well have loving feelings
for you and care for you deeply.
Furthermore, feeling safe extends to feeling free
to make your own decisions
and being able to express yourself without fear of criticism
or put downs.
Number two, they'll find ways to stay connected with you.
Do they send good morning
or goodnight texts when you aren't together?
Aw, that's so sweet.
In this modern era of technology
you don't always need to see each other physically
in order to show affection.
The virtual realm can also show that they care about you.
Sending something as simple as a text message can show
that someone is thinking about you.
If they make an effort to stay connected with you
when you're absent from one another,
this may be an indicator
that the person has strong feelings for you.
Number three, they actively listen to you
and ask about your day.
Are they always making it a point to show an interest
in what you do?
A partner who loves you will take an active interest
in even the smallest details of your life.
This can help couples to build their love for each other
and keep communication routes open.
Active listening plays a key role in healthy relationships.
Partners acknowledge things which need to be improved
as well as things which are going well
without causing distress.
Number four, they make an effort to engage
in physical touch with you.
Do you often find yourself holding hands with them?
Such gestures are important for maintaining intimacy
and it may be one of the ways that your partner shows
that they care.
Bethany Riccardi, a relationship educator,
advises that it is important to keep an eye out
for body language cues in your partner.
If your partner's love language is physical touch,
then this could be a good indicator
that they are showing their love through physical affection
rather than through words.
Number five, they're proud to have you in their life.
Even if your significant other has not dropped
that L bomb yet
that does not mean that they're not feeling it.
If they've introduced you to their friends and close family
and share pictures on social media,
that could demonstrate that they're inviting you
into their world and that they're pleased to share that
with the rest of the world.
But it is also true that not everybody is public
when it comes to displays of affection in this way.
But as long as they're not keeping you a secret
then it's usually a clear sign
that they may have deep feelings for you.
And number six, they are easy to communicate with.
Does communication come easy between you and your partner?
This is often a reassuring sign.
Love requires open and honest communication
but that does not always mean that you have to
share every private thought or feeling with them.
If they are the right person for you
then they understand that.
For a relationship to thrive,
good communication might involve things such as
discussing emotions, observing body language,
identifying areas of conflict,
and checking in about boundaries in the relationship.
If you notice any of these signs in your relationship
this may show that your partner has loving feelings for you.
It's important to note that people choose to
say those three words in their own time
and it's not something which should be rushed
or said for the sake of it.
Even if somebody has not said that they love you
or you did not observe the signs just mentioned,
it does mean that they don't have loving feelings for you.
So give them the chance
and continue to have open conversations
about your feelings towards each other.
