Have you been waiting to hear those three magical words that seem to break through barriers, open futures, and explode hearts? Do you wonder if there are deeper feelings at play in your relationship or if you are just reading into things too much. Here are few signs that there might be more to your relationship. Deeper feelings sometimes bloom long before those three magic words, I love you, appear in a conversation. 1. They take every chance they can get to touch you or make contact. A small brush of fingers against your back or pushing your hair away from your face are sure signs that they want to touch you. This non-sexual touching could be signs of deeper feelings stirring up. 2. Another sign of deeper feelings is having a base friendship. You are always the first person they tell all their "T" or gossip (good and bad). Being the person they run to no matter what is a heady experience. A decent relationship could easily bloom out of the roots of a deep friendship. Do they stay curious and in the know about your changing feelings and likes? Keeping current with what is on your mind, asking questions, engaging in conversation are all ways he/she is trying to show you that they care. That you are important. 3. They are never far from you. Have you noticed that they always seem to be within contact range? Whether cell phone or in person, being easily accessible could be a sign of something more. Relationship that thrive on connection, will easily bloom and thrive when you are close at hand. 4. What's next? Do they always seem to remember all the important dates and details? If you are important enough for them to remember birthdays or family events, there might be more on their mind than friendship. This might also include important information about you that you mentioned randomly in that one conversation. Do they remember what you like in musically choice, drinks, or even what your favorite color is? 5. If they take the time to listen, they might also be a shoulder to cry on or a sounding board that will listen. Actively listening to what you have to say, especially during the rough patches, shows they will be supportive. Having a strong, supportive platform at the start of a relationship could create a foundation for a strong, supportive relationship that will last. Does he/she empathize with your problems or moods? Again, if they are taking the time to communicate and listen, there might be deeper feelings at play. 6. Although with listen, they should be supportive of your successes! Are they one of your biggest cheerleaders? Do they lift you up when you're successful as much as when you are failing? Building a deeper relationship should include times when you are successful and are celebrated for that success. Life needs a balance between lows and highs. A fundamental building block of a relationship should be this support at all levels of emotions. 7. Wait, they didn't run away in terror when you brought up the idea of a future? Some deeper feelings may scare him/her away, where as in other people they will jump to show you they are committed to a future with you in it (whatever relationship capacity that may be). Fear of the future shows a lack of commitment. 8. Do you ever get random notes that seem to have no relevance to holidays or special occasions? Even a sweet text message wishing you a great day or dropping a note to say something like "you were on my mind"... these may be signs that he/she wants to tell you there is something deeper. Somethings the first signs of a relationship growing emotionally deeper are sweet notes. 9. There are other ways to say "I love you" without using words. Remember that a lot of the time, actions really do speak louder than words. He/she may show you how they feel, but not, for one reason or another, be able to speak those three tiny words that most people crave to hear. Does he do things around the house? 10. Does he/she give in to your opinions or ideas, even when they want to do the opposite? Compromising is key to finding a balanced relationship. Be on the look out for ways he/she puts you first. Do they offer to do things they know you will like? Maybe it was that movie that just came out, even though they wanted to see the one that was just next door. Little gestures, such as letting you pick the restaurant, might be signs that he/she cares. This list is definitely not the only ways that someone in your life may shows you they love you without saying "I love you" out loud.
