SpeakerHey there, Psych2Goers. Would you agree actions speak louder than words?
0:05 → 0:10
SpeakerThis can often be the case for some people, especially when it comes to expressions of love.
0:10 → 0:15
SpeakerSaying the three magic words can be a nice thing to hear from your significant other.
0:15 → 0:19
SpeakerBut there are other ways that people choose to express their love for others.
0:19 → 0:25
SpeakerHere are some signs which may suggest that somebody really loves you, even though they don't say it.
0:25 → 0:29
SpeakerNumber one. You feel safe with them or in their company.
0:29 → 0:33
SpeakerDo you ever have the feeling that you're completely relaxed when in their presence?
0:33 → 0:37
SpeakerSafety is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship.
0:37 → 0:46
SpeakerSo it goes without saying that having a partner who respects you, your feelings and your well being may well have loving feelings for you and care for you deeply.
0:46 → 0:55
SpeakerFurthermore, feeling safe extends to feeling free to make your own decisions and being able to express yourself without fear of criticism or put downs.
0:55 → 0:58
SpeakerNumber two. They'll find ways to stay connected with you.
0:58 → 1:05
SpeakerDo they send good morning or good night texts when you are together? That's so sweet.
1:05 → 1:11
SpeakerIn this modern era of technology, you don't always need to see each other physically in order to show affection.
1:11 → 1:14
SpeakerThe virtual realm can also show that they care about you.
1:14 → 1:19
SpeakerSending something as simple as a text message, can show that someone is thinking about you.
1:19 → 1:23
SpeakerIf they make an effort to stay connected with you when you're absent from one another,
1:23 → 1:26
Speakerthis may be an indicator that the person has strong feelings for you.
1:26 → 1:30
SpeakerNumber three. They actively listen to you and ask about your day.
1:30 → 1:34
SpeakerAre they always making it a point to show an interest in what you do?
1:34 → 1:40
SpeakerA partner who loves, you will take an active interest in even the smallest details of your life.
1:40 → 1:45
SpeakerThis can help couples to build their love for each other and keep communication routes open.
1:45 → 1:48
SpeakerActive listening plays a key role in healthy relationships.
1:48 → 1:55
SpeakerPartners acknowledge things which need to be improved as well as things which are going well, without causing distress.
1:55 → 2:00
SpeakerNumber four. They make an effort to engage in physical touch with you.
2:00 → 2:03
SpeakerDo you often find yourself holding hands with them?
2:03 → 2:09
SpeakerSuch gestures are important for maintaining intimacy and it may be one of the ways that your partner shows that they care.
2:09 → 2:17
SpeakerBethany Riccardi, a relationship educator, advises that it is important to keep an eye out for body language cues in your partner.
2:17 → 2:20
SpeakerIf your partner's love language is physical touch,
2:20 → 2:25
Speakerthen this could be a good indicator that they are showing their love through physical affection rather than through words.
2:25 → 2:29
SpeakerNumber five. They're proud to have you in their life.
2:29 → 2:33
SpeakerEven if your significant other has not dropped the L-bomb yet
2:33 → 2:35
Speakerthat does not mean that they're not feeling it.
2:35 → 2:40
SpeakerIf they've introduced you to their friends and close family and share pictures on social media,
2:40 → 2:46
Speakerthat could demonstrate that they're in inviting you into their world and that they're pleased to share that with the rest of the world.
2:46 → 2:52
SpeakerBut it is also true that not everybody is public when it comes to displays of affection in this way.
2:52 → 2:59
SpeakerBut 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.
2:59 → 3:02
SpeakerAnd number six. They are easy to communicate with.
3:02 → 3:05
SpeakerDoes communication come easy between you and your partner?
3:05 → 3:08
SpeakerThis is often a reassuring sign.
3:08 → 3:11
SpeakerLove requires open and honest communication,
3:11 → 3:16
Speakerbut that does not always mean that you have to share every private thought or feeling with them.
3:16 → 3:19
SpeakerIf they are the right person for you, then they will understand that.
3:19 → 3:25
SpeakerFor a relationship to thrive, good communication might involve things such as discussing emotions,
3:25 → 3:31
Speakerobserving body language, identifying areas of conflict and checking in about boundaries in the relationship.
3:31 → 3:34
SpeakerIf you notice any of these signs in your relationship,
3:34 → 3:37
Speakerthis may show that your partner has loving feelings for you.
3:37 → 3:45
SpeakerIt's important to note that people will 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.
3:45 → 3:51
SpeakerEven if somebody has not said that they love you or you did not observe the signs just mentioned,
3:51 → 3:53
Speakerit doesn't mean that they don't have loving feelings for you.
3:53 → 3:59
SpeakerSo give them the chance and continue to have open conversations about your feelings towards each other.
3:59 → 4:01
