Theres a difference between whipped and love. The first two guys are describing the progression of being whipped. Love is a feeling and as Rafael says, you don't want to put him on the spot by asking a guy about his feelings. When it comes to love, you have to go with your gut.
If his feelings are strong enough, then his actions will show it. Some guys rely on that. And there is some merit to the idea. Is it better to have a guy who often says how he feels, but whose actions make you wonder? Or would you prefer someone who may not be very vocal, but based on how he treats you, there is little question who is foremost in his thoughts? Ideally you want both proper treatment and the words to go with it. But I wonder how often that balance really exists outside of movies. It's not fair to expect women to read minds - and it can backfire. If you don't know where you stand, then we may miss out. You don't want to put him on the spot by asking about love. But if you need to hear him say it, maybe ask him something like "why do you do nice things for me? ". That might draw out some of his feelings without putting him in a pass or fail situation. Some are better at expressing themselves in writing. It gives them time to compose what they intend to say. So while you wouldn't want to limit your romantic conversations to text, when he does have occasion to write, look for signs there. Cards, notes and voice messages may be places where certain thoughts are first revealed.
Hanging out less and less with my own friends. Calling my girl just to see how she is doing. Actually wanting to hang out with her and her family get togethers instead of coming up with excuses as to why I can't make it. Making her feel special each and every day.
A lot of eye gazing, spending more time with her than usual, blowing off other people more often than usual just to be with her. Showing more affection.
Actually, I agree with the first two guys. I think guys who are truly in love remain "whipped" for a period of time in the beginning of the relationship. I see this as somewhat normal - as long as the girl feels the same way about him. When a person is in love, no matter who they are, all they can do is think about you - what you are doing, where you are, when will they talk to you or see you again. When you are in love, all you want to do is spend every waking moment with the person you love. Of course, you learn to have your own life in the midst of it or else you would never get anything done! If he is romantic with you, if he likes to be close to you and touch you, if he likes to do even the silliest stuff together with you, he is in love. If he wants to please you and tells you things that he sees about you that are good, if he talks about you to all his friends and asks about you. He may be shy. He may avoid eye contact but look at you while you aren't looking. He may make excuses to see you or call you. He may do things for you that will show he cares or he may want to impress you. He will want to show you in some way that he is the man for you. He may drop hints, hoping that you will catch them. He may brag about himself in some way - kind of like the Alpha male in a pack - trying to win the attention of his female attractee. The best thing you can do, if you are interested, is to let him know. You can either be direct or try to give him major clues that you like him too.

First, a little spontaneity I would ask my date to meet me somewhere -- A museum, or park, some place in which casual conversation could be backed by something visual stimulating.

Afterwards..what will your date know about you?
That there is more to find out... no, lol --> An introduction to my lifestyle, what I am currently doing and how I spend my free time. Maybe introduce something that I've been thinking about, so that next time, there can be a follow-up to it. Of course I would make sure she knows about my hobbies, and maybe one fun fact, like my celebrity relative or my 5-minutes of fame.
