7 Subtle Signs He’s Serious About You

The small things say the most.

I just need him to tell me how much he likes me,” recently said a female coaching client of mine.

“Well, what are some of the things he does for you?” I asked, questioning whether he’s the type to show his affection through actions, more than words.

We got into a conversation about The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. If you’re not familiar with them, it goes something like this:

The five languages are:

• Physical touch
• Acts of service (Doing something for another person)
• Gift giving
• Quality time
• Words of Affirmation (compliments, saying nice things)

These are, primarily, the ways that most of us show and receive love. Odds are, you have one or two that are the strongest.
