When a guy truly loves someone how do they act?

This is really a sweet question and I think this is one thing that is so often misunderstood. When a guy truly loves a girl she becomes his first priority over everything and anything else. He respects her, trusts her, treats her kindly and is always happy and proud when he has her by his side because whenever possible he wants to do everything together. He'll always respect her decisions yet help her to make the right ones and she'll listen to his advice. He'll look past little faults she might have as well as imperfections because he realizes he has some of those too. She's the most beautiful girl in the word to him. Last and not least, he will not be after her for sex and stuff like that all the time because he and his girl has a complete understanding on that. Does this sound like the perfect relationship? If it does it is, but if you have a boyfriend that lacks only one of these, he doesn't truly love you. The same can be said of the girl.

she didn;t know why and that her feelings just changed... she started noticing the other guys. so we broke up the night before our one year. I miss her a lot trying to give her her space just hoping that maybe we'll get another chance but only time will tell...

This was a continuation to the comment I hope your able to tell the difference in your situation in mine I'm convinced what we shared while together was love

when I had my girl it was just that I'd do anything for her from small things to big things. if she needed something I was there

I know what you mean its kinda hard to tell the difference. I believe if they can count on you trust you and if you feel the same way and that you both equally would do anything for each other even jump off a bridge like the saying goes then that's love.

I'm pretty sure this can go both ways for men and women: obsession. There's a fine line between missing another and becoming totally obsessed.

You're infatuated when: you positively cannot live a single moment without them by your side, and when they're not there, your heart hurts and you're worried about them leaving you; you make that person the center of everything you do (even your personal life!); you think you've fallen head-over-heels the second you met them (I guess this could be argued with since some people do believe 'love at first sight.'); you become incredibly possessive and jealous.

One could say that people in love behave this way, but it's only because of TRUST, COMMITMENT, HONESTY, and BALANCE.

For example, you can miss your significant other, but still go on your day without them. You both have your own separate lives but still share common goals (meaning you're not depending on them only). All their little quirks and annoying habits? You can learn to tolerate it because you love them. You both sacrifice important things for each other - not just one person giving and giving while the other is taking and taking!

I believe that you must learn to love a person because falling in love is a one-way street only. But this is from a girl's POV and I don't know if guys feel the same way.

I wish I could anser this for you. I am in the same boat unfortunately. trying to figure it out, although every male is different, some more affectionate than others, or more emotional or less. what about asking?
