Most people listen to reply. But he listens to understand. He wants to know your point of view. What you feel, and how he could make things right.

2. Your family and friends love him

The biggest sign that you’re with the right guy is when your loved ones love him. They know what’s right for you. They want what’s good for you. Listen to them.

3. He talks about your future together

He isn’t afraid to commit to you. He wants to talk about the future and envisions you in it.

Small gestures like knowing whether you’ve eaten your meals on time, or asking whether you’ve had a good day are important. It’s how you know he’s paying attention and that he cares.

5. He accepts when he’s wrong and apologises

It’s tough for a lot of people to accept their mistakes. Most people try to shift the blame instead. But not him. He will own up and apologise, if he’s made a mistake.

6. He believes in you

Even when you don’t believe in yourself. He encourages you to make things happen for yourself and supports you like a pillar of strength.

7. He values you

He’s so proud to have you in his life. He loves to talk about you, and show you off every opportunity he gets. This shows he values you. He knows what he’s got and he cherishes it.

Whether he’s tired or far away from you won’t matter. He’ll want to meet you irrespective. He won’t make silly excuses to get out of it. He’ll make an effort.

9. He accepts your flaws

Everyone’s got them. No one is perfect. And he knows that. It doesn’t matter how you are. What your negatives are. He wants to be with you because he loves every bit of you.

10. He takes your advice
