How to recognize genuine love from your partner.

(Baonghean.vn) - Love and the way each person expresses their feelings are different. Therefore, there cannot be a "common denominator" when talking about love. However, there are some basic signs, for example, when someone likes someone, they will dedicate a lot of attention and effort to building a good relationship between the two of them. Here are some ways to help you recognize these signs:

1. How does the phrase "I love you" express trustworthiness?

The way someone expresses their love reveals whether they truly care for you. If they truly love you, they will look deeply into your eyes, conveying all their emotions without any ulterior motives. If they genuinely love you, they won't demand anything from you; they will simply express their feelings.

2. Did that person discuss the future with you?

When someone truly likes you, they will always talk about the future you two can share. If they constantly talk about the future 10 or 20 years from now, then they are definitely serious about you.

Because they want to be with the person they love forever, their minds are always filled with images of their life together under one roof.

3. Is that person willing to open up to you?

When someone truly loves you, they will trust you enough to share everything with you—joys, sorrows, fears, etc. Especially if they are willing to share their childhood stories or dreams of a bright future with you, then they love you very much.

Once they start by saying, "I've never told anyone about this before...", it's a sign that their feelings for you are quite strong.

4. Did that person listen to what you said?

In love, knowing how to listen is incredibly important. If someone can sit still for a long time, focusing on listening to everything you say, then that person loves you very much.

Love requires a balance between sharing and listening.

5. When you have to be away from your friendsDoes that person think about you?

When you're in a long-distance relationship and your partner frequently contacts you to check in and talk about how difficult their life is without you, it means they love you very much. On the other hand, if you're only away on a three-day business trip and don't receive a single call from them, perhaps your feelings for each other aren't that strong yet. But don't expect them to call you constantly either!

6. Is that person always there for you in any situation?

You will naturally always need someone who is there for you not only in good times but also in bad. They are willing to be there for you no matter how inconvenient it is, like picking you up at the airport, playing with your nieces and nephews, etc.

Someone who is only there for you when you're happy isn't love, but someone who is willing to be there for you when you're sad is true love. Love is about accepting both the good and the bad in others.

7. Pay attention to how they point out your mistakes.

When someone loves you, they often idealize your image, and when you make a mistake, they're willing to point it out to you in a relaxed manner. Of course, these criticisms must be constructive and helpful to you.

Be wary if they never criticize you; it's possible they don't love you for who you are, but rather for an idealized version of you they've imagined.

8. See if they are genuinely happy being around you.

If they truly love you, they will always be happy to see you. Even if it's a bad day for them, just hearing your voice and seeing your smile will make everything alright. It doesn't matter how much things improve, just seeing you is enough.

Next time that person is upset, pay attention to their reaction to your presence!

9. See if they share your sadness.

If you're feeling sad or depressed because of the flu... then your loved one will probably feel the same way. They feel the pain just like you do, and all they want is for you to get over this quickly.

Although they may not be as upset as you, they will clearly be affected by your mood because all they want is for you to always be happy.

10. Do they appreciate your opinion?

If someone truly loves you, they will consult you on many things, whether it's something big or small like what to wear or what shoes to choose. They won't just ask for your opinion out of obligation, but will consider it very carefully.

11. See if they know how to give you some private time.

Love isn't just about always being together; it's also about giving each other personal space. A person who constantly clings to you, making it hard to breathe, isn't love; it's just a desire for possession. A mature relationship is one where both partners know how to give each other space.

If someone wants to be with you from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep, that's not necessarily love; it's simply that they're feeling insecure.

12. Does that person truly understand you?

When two people are in love, it requires them to truly understand each other. It sounds funny, but it's true. If someone understands your feelings, they'll know when you're sad and can then cheer you up.

It's not necessary to understand each other 100%; you can still keep some things to yourself. But it's important that the other person understands most of who you are.
