Girls, What are the Ways for Men to Say They Care About You?

[comedy]

Women often show more clearly that they love someone. However, men don't always express it verbally. How do you know if a man cares about you?

[DizzyDesii]

Words of affirmation mean a lot to me. If we’re at a certain stage and he still can't say “I care for you. I love you” then i dont want him

How to Know a Guy Cares About You?

There are a few key things to look for if you want to know if a guy cares about you.

• First, he should make an effort to spend time with you and get to know you. He should also be interested in your life and what you have to say.
• Additionally, he should be supportive and understanding, and he should be there for you when you need him.
• Finally, he should make an effort to make things work between the two of you, even when things are tough. If a guy meets all of these criteria, then it's likely that he cares about you and wants things to work out between the two of you.

Do Guys Like Showing They Care?

It's no secret that guys like to feel needed. It's hardwired into their DNA. They want to be the ones who swoop in and save the damsel in distress. It's what gets their blood pumping and their adrenaline flowing. And it's not just a guy thing. Women like to feel needed too. It's one of the reasons we're drawn to the strong, silent type. But while guys might like to feel needed, they don't always like to show it.

Why is that?
Well, part of it has to do with the way guys are socialized. They're taught from a young age that showing emotions is a sign of weakness. That they should be stoic and strong, never letting anyone see them sweat. It's a tough standard to live up to, and it's one that a lot of guys internalize.

But it's not just about being tough. Guys also like to feel in control. And when they feel like they're needed, it can make them feel a little out of control. They're not used to being on the receiving end of things. It can be a bit of an adjustment.

So, while guys might like to feel needed, they might not always be comfortable showing it. But that doesn't mean they don't care. They just might need a little help expressing it.

I know some males struggle more with finding the words to communicate, but for me it's absolutely essential and there's no leeway on that, honestly. But people can't be all-talk and no-action, so if you spend time in person, they can express they care by just doing thoughtful small things. If there's more physical/geographical distance, checking in with the person to see how they're doing, and offering time and focus sometimes, really shows one cares. Lack of it, however, doesn't necessarily mean the inverse, that one doesn't care. They could be overwhelmed, stressed, caught up, busy, and then it's just a matter of a time or focus issue.

By the way he treats me. How often we communicate with each other, time we spend together, if he sticks to what he said he would do. By being a gentleman and considerate. If he tries to make me feel better if I am down, if he sticks up for me.
Joking and laughing together … being teased.

knowing he is thinking about me and how I feel, but also if he opens up to share how he feels and even shares personal things / problems with me

small gifts (nothing expensive, it’s really more the thought that counts)

I was having a really bad day at work one day (worse than normal and I have since left that position) and when I got home he came over with chocolate, jerky and one of my favorite drinks. He also brought a pineapple which he cut in half and filled with salsa that he made on his own. He was so extra but it made me forget about all the stress I was under

[Screenwriter]

He calls you. Gives you little gifts: flowers, plants, a muffin he cooked. He calls and chats. He comes over and watches a movie/show w you. He cooks a meal for you. ,

The main thing I want from a guy is emotional support and a listening ear, my best friends did that for me when I was younger but we are no longer in the same social circles and they are married now.

[AssholeNumberOne]

Please. "That women showing more clearly they love someone" is a stereotype.

I don't show I love someone around people. I show it when we're alone or not at all.

Why? Who wants to look like a simp? Not me.

[Subarugirl]

They show it, by being respectful, attentive, honest, and empathetic

[AnaMay18]

Soo hard to find true empathy these days but if you find a man that truly loves yo and Sr for you... Keep him! Narcissistic times lead to sad excuses of men these days (not all just way more than in my teens)

[DancingQueen16]

Well my guy best friend told me that if I ever needed anything I could text him

[AnaMay18]

That's basically a boyfriend. I get confused what if you were in the mood... He a friend with benefits too I imagine. Or what if he was on a date and really liked a girl and you needed something. Your going to interrupt his life when he's not ur man. Having friends of the opposite sex usually means the guy likes the girl or it's a conquest he is pretending to just be friends but to say call me for anything is boyfriend behavior. If he's married or in a relationship I would suggest going to a different "friend". And if u like him more than a friend tell him. Most guys only have female friends because they get stuck in friend zone but are dtf or down for relationship and just shy or don't want to mess up friendship. Thats just my opinion. :) Take care. And be grateful for a guy that will do anything for you. ;)

[linka_pat307]

Just comfort me when am down and just treat mi with respect

[AnaMay18]

Agreed

[kevypatyy7]

They always make time for you and be understanding
