When it comes to love, you might have heard: “True love should be between two people who understand each other, respect each other, not entangle, not hold back, not possess, and then accompany each other through a long journey.”
The words “I love you” are the most straightforward and simplest way to express love, but for men who are not good at expressing themselves, even these three words are hard to say directly.
In the face of emotions, men are shy, unlike women who are bold in expressing their love directly. Men’s way of expression is more subtle, so subtle that women often do not perceive it.
Women cannot feel the love that men convey at first, that’s when doubts about men’s sincerity start to arise. One not speaking, the other overthinking, ultimately leading to misunderstandings that affect the development of the relationship.
In reality, it’s not that men don’t express love, it’s just that men rarely say “I love you”, their love is hidden in other expressions, seemingly plain but full of affection.
You should know that when a man truly cares for you, he often doesn’t say it directly but hints at it with these 4 “hidden messages”!
01
“What do you feel about me?”
A man who cares for you will be sensitive to how he appears in your heart.
For a man who truly cares for you, he is concerned about this and wants to know how you feel about him. Because he likes you, loves you, he hopes you reciprocate his feelings.
You’ll notice that this man acts differently with you than with others. He cares for you, looks after you, wants to leave a good impression on you. He always wants to make you happy because he wants you to enjoy being together and share laughter.
He often uses sweet words with you, not just to please you but because those thoughts are true to him. In his heart, you are always wonderful, and that’s because he has developed feelings for you.
02
“Time spent with you is never enough.”
Women can be clingy in love, and men can be equally so. When a man genuinely cares for you, he wants to be with you all the time and treasures every moment spent together.
If a man sincerely tells you he wants to be with you always, there should be no doubt about the depth of his love for you.
He wants to integrate you into his life; you’re like a captivating star guiding him nearer. Because he likes you, he wants to understand you deeply and be by your side always.
Being together is a warm confession. Women who lack a sense of security often need the company of a man. When a man is willing to be by your side, it shows his sincerity.
03
“Are we just friends now?”
When a man develops feelings for you, he wants a more substantial relationship and not just the current friendship. He wants to be with you openly, excluding any other man and being the one who protects you.
If a man’s feelings for you aren’t that serious, he won’t be so concerned about the nature of your relationship. Because in his mind, you aren’t that important.
Hence, when a man says this sentence, it means he doesn’t just want to be ordinary friends but wishes to progress further with you. He wants to declare to everyone that you are his girlfriend, deterring others from approaching you romantically.
He hopes to be your protector from now on. By saying this, he is testing you to see your feelings towards him.
04
“I like a girl, can you help me?”
When a male friend you get along well with suddenly says, “I like a girl, can you help me?” It’s a joke and a form of confession in a different way.
You can jokingly ask him, “Tell me about the type of girl you like, what she likes, so I know how to help you.”
If what he describes matches you, it’s another way of expressing his feelings for you. He may not have the courage to confess face-to-face, maybe due to saving face, fear of rejection, risking losing the friendship.
This playful exchange lets him test your reaction. If you’re not interested, you can remain friends.
If you have feelings for him, perhaps it’s time to give him a hint and start a beautiful relationship.

Words of love
Some say: Love is like a blooming flower, it needs sunshine and rain to thrive.
The happiest thing in the world is when the person you like silently likes you back.
When a man gives you these hints, it means he truly likes you, and there’s a reason he doesn’t speak directly.
If you find you like him too, don’t hesitate, seize the opportunity for love is always within your grasp.
