Dating: these actions show that someone really cares about you

The most exciting thing about dating is perhaps that you have no idea how the other person thinks about you. You are not yet at the stage where you discuss whether your feelings are mutual, but still, you secretly want to know if you are special to him or her before you completely lose your heart.

The saying ‘actions speak louder than words’ exists for a reason.
You can tell he really cares about you by these actions:

1. Bringing you home after a date. You would think it is obvious that someone cares about your safe return home, but there are indeed people who skip this step when they realize that sex is not on the agenda that evening.
2. Regularly sending a message. Before you reach the stage where you text each other ‘good morning’ every morning and ‘sleep well’ every evening, you are still in the phase where your heart skips a beat when you see that one name appear on your screen. It is very nice to notice that the other person enjoys letting you know that he or she is thinking of you.
3. Showing interest in your daily life. Just asking how your workday was, or if you did something fun or are going to do something fun, it is nice to notice that your lover cares about what you are experiencing. Unfortunately, there are still quite a few men who cling to the traditional image of a man with a successful job and automatically think that a woman's career is less interesting. Personally, I find that a huge turn-off. It is nice when someone asks about your ambitions and is simply curious about how your day was.
4. Asking about your family. If your date thinks that he or she could ever sit at the table with your family, that person will quickly ask about your family and want to know how important the relationship with your parents/siblings is to you. How you grew up and how that bond with your family is, says something about how you approach life. Whether it was a nice childhood or not, the story that comes with it is important for someone else to get a good picture of your life.
5. Not afraid to give compliments. Someone who really cares about you finds it important that you feel good and is happy to contribute to that. Of course, your mood is not dependent on the compliments he or she gives or does not give, but the fact that your date enjoys giving you a compliment shows that he or she hopes it has at least a positive effect on you.

And ultimately, the best moment is of course when you can express to each other that you like each other more than just a little!
