1. Ten tell-tate things men say when they fall in love

First and foremost, when a man falls in love with you, he’s emotionally investing in you. He’s pouring his time and energy into you and building that connection in your relationship with you because he sees you as truly valuable to him.

You are becoming a priority to him. He will say things throughout this process that he is heading in that direction now.

For each of these statements, I will give you a window into men’s minds and tell you why they’re signs of emotional investment for women. Also, I will provide you with examples so you can identify them in the wild.

Be sure to stay tuned toward the end of this post because I will explain how to respond to these various statements to deepen your connection, encourage, and invite him to open his heart to you more.

1.1 I enjoy spending time with you now

The first thing a man might say when he’s emotionally investing in you is: “I enjoy spending time with you now.”

To a man, his time is a sacred commodity. It’s one of the most valuable gifts he has to give anyone. So if he loves sharing his time with you, that’s a clear sign that you have become a priority to him and that you are unique in his eyes.

He will always say this, not just on date night or in the big moments. He demonstrates and expresses to you that he enjoys spending time with you doing mundane things like doing laundry together, watching TV, or going to the grocery store.

In the early days of my dating my girlfriend, some of my most memorable early experiences with her were going to the grocery store with her and watching her pick up produce and throw it in the cart without putting it in bags because she didn’t want to ruin the environment with plastic bags.

I thought that was so sweet, and I let her know that because it was a sign of her personality that I appreciated.

So if a man is letting that he’s enjoying spending time with you in all sorts of different circumstances, chances are he’s going deep with you now.

1.2 I miss you

The second thing a man might say when opening his heart to you is, “I miss you.”

He’s not saying this because he hasn’t seen you in weeks or months, or you’ve been apart on the other side of the world. It might just be that you’ve been apart a couple of hours, but because you have been on the top of his mind, maybe since the last time he saw you earlier that day or the day before, it feels like it’s been a week for him. So he will say, I miss you, even if that seems a little ridiculous.

So if a guy is saying he misses you, even if it’s only been a day or six hours, that’s a clear sign you have become lodged deep in his brain, and he just wanted to share with you that you are now a big priority to him.

1.3 Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help now

Now the third thing a man can say when he’s falling for you is, “let me know if there’s anything I can do to help now.”

Inherently, when we become activated by a woman, we open ourselves up to her and step into our masculine role as providers and protectors.

Men want to be there to support you, and many times, they express that they are available to be a protector or supporter for you.

So if a man is letting, “hey, let me know if I can help you,” “let me know if there’s anything I can do for you，” and if he’s making himself available to you, that’s a sign you have been put in an elevated state in his eyes. He’s ready and willing to go into action to help you.

When a man is looking to go into action for you, that is a sign that he’s emotionally investing in you.

Action equals investment is a mighty rule to understand and acknowledge when it comes to the masculine. When men go into action about something, they value it. So if he says that, it’s a good sign.

1.4 I love it when you smile

Now the fourth thing a man might say is, “I love it when you blank,” or “I love it when you smile,” “I love it when you laugh,” or “I love it when you touch me in this way.”

When a man lets you know how much he enjoys subtle aspects of your personality and how you express yourself, it’s a sign that he’s fully present with you.

He sees you more profoundly. He wants you to know it, which is powerful. And especially, if he’s acknowledging an action you’re taking towards him, that is a sign he enjoys receiving your energy. He wants to receive more of it.

For example, whenever I’m sitting on the couch with my girlfriend, she’ll massage my hand because she knows I love it. Every time she does it, I tell her why I love it. I tell her that it feels so good. I let her know how much I love that action she’s taking towards me so that she understands how valuable it is to me. Hopefully, she’ll continue to do it.

Pay attention when a man acknowledges you for an action you’re taking towards him because that’s a sign that he wants more of it and is starting to like you a lot.

1.5 I’m always here for you

Now the fifth thing a man might say is, “I’m always here for you.”

A man can often say this if he sees that you’re having a hard day and maybe you haven’t opened up about it. He sees that you’re struggling somehow and wants to step into that role as your protector.

He wants to create a sense of safety for you and that he’s someone you can rely upon.

He wants to remind you of that. He’ll say I’m always here for you to remind you that you can lean on him and feel safe with him.

If he says that, it’s an invitation for you to open up to him.

If you’re having a hard day or have something in your heart, you can share it with them. If he responds that I’m always here for you, you can take him up on that. It’ll help you deepen your relationship together.

1.6 I want to make things work between us now

The sixth thing a man can say if he’s catching feelings for you is, “I want to make things work between us now.”

This is a statement that a man sees long-term potential between you and him. He wants to speak about that, and he’s willing and committed to doing whatever it takes to support that vision.

Often, a guy will say this if you have a conflict or things have gotten rough. He wants to let you know that he’s not going anywhere. He wants to let that he wants to make it work even though things are challenging right now. He’s not just going to run away. He wants you to feel safe that he’s not going anywhere precisely.

So if he says that, it means he’s invested and committed to your emotional safety and wants to figure things out.

It’s a great sign that he’s emotionally invested in you if he says that.

1.7 I’m sorry

Now the seventh thing is a doozy, and it might surprise you. It’s “I’m sorry.”

This is a big one because it recognizes a man taking responsibility for his emotions and being willing to own them when he knows he’s in the wrong. And it can be challenging for men even when they know what they are doing or what they’re saying is wrong.

If a man’s willing to do that, he’s ready to place you and your emotional well-being in your relationship above his own needs and desire. To be correct, it means he’s putting his ego on the shelf.

So if you’re fighting and a man says I’m sorry, do your best to receive that apology with an open heart even if you’re mad at him. It’ll take your relationship to a whole new level.

1.8 I trust you

Now the eighth thing a man might say or express to you if he’s opening his heart to you is, “I trust you.”

This can be done verbally or through his actions. If he says I trust you, that’s a massive sign that he’s starting to feel safe with you. He might do this non-verbally by handing his phone to you and asking, ” Can you call this person for me, or can you text this person for me? “

If a man is willing to give his phone to you, it means he trusts you. If a man is willing to introduce you to his family and the people in his life, it means he trusts you.

Look for verbal and non-verbal indicators that a man trusts you because if he is saying that through his words or actions, he’s emotionally investing in you and sees you as someone he can truly open his heart and life to.

1.9 I’m proud of you

The ninth thing a man says when he’s fallen for you is profound. It’s “I’m proud of you.”

Man’s pride is a very sacred thing. If a man is willing to share and pour that emotion into you, it’s a sign that he has created much value for you. That can have a couple of different meanings.

The first meaning of I’m proud of you can be that he’s proud of who you are in the world.

He sees you and what you’re creating in your life. He sees your vision. He sees and celebrates your goals. He sees the woman you are and what you’re striving to achieve. He’s proud of that.

It’s a sign that he profoundly sees you. It’s beautiful.

The second meaning of I’m proud of you is that I’m pleased to be with you. I’m proud to be your partner. I’m proud to have you as my partner. I’m proud to share my world with you and show you off to the people in my life.

Either way, no matter what he means by that, it’s a sign that you have elevated your importance to him, and he sees you as highly valued. It’s a beautiful thing.

1.10 I am so excited to experience something with you

The last thing a man might say when he’s fallen head over heels for you is, “I’m so excited to blank with you, I’m so excited to go on an adventure with you, I’m so excited to travel with you, I’m so excited to build a family with you, I’m excited to go to the mall with you,” etc.

It means that on the micro or the macro level, he’s looking into the future with you.

He wants to build a future with you, and he’s speaking about how much he’s looking forward to the things he wants to do with you.

Now the rule to remember here is that all men are builders.

We want to build our Legacy. We’re looking towards the future in our life, and if we’re talking about how excited we are to go on a trip with you three or six months from now, or to build a family with you down the road potentially, or we’re just speaking into the future with you, it means we see that future with you.

That is a beautiful thing and something to celebrate and participate in. That’s called future building.

Suppose he’s talking about the excellent trip he wants to go on with you three or six months from now. In that case, it’s a compelling invitation for you to be like, it’d be so much fun if we were to go cage diving with great white sharks and go on an adventure together, like play in that imaginary space and go there with him.

He will love it, he’ll eat it up, and it’ll help you build that future together.

2. How to respond if he says to you the lines above

Now let’s talk about how to respond when a man expresses one of these beautiful statements towards you.

Remember that one of the most profound things a man craves from you is emotional safety. He wants to feel like you are his vibrant sanctuary where he can put down his walls and open himself up.

When a man says one of these statements to you, it is an act of vulnerability, and it is an act of him opening his heart. The most incredible way for you to let him know he’s safe is to respond in a way that creates a sense of love and safety for him.

For example, if he says I miss you and it’s authentic, you can say I miss you, too. You can mirror it back to him, or potentially you can say, wow, it really makes me smile, and it makes my heart smile to hear you say that.

Mirror it back to him if that’s authentic. I love you, and I love you, too. Say something back to him in kind or let him know with a positive feeling. Tell him how happy it makes you to hear that from him.

That’s going to be an indirect invitation for him to continue to lean in and open himself up to you even more because it’s safe for him to do so.
