Guys have a reputation for being less-than-honest when it comes to their feelings, especially if a "fib" or two will increase their chances of getting lucky.
Just because a guy wants to get busy with you doesn't mean that he doesn't care of course; but watch out for the users who lie about everything to get sex.
Here's some very revealing behaviors to watch for if you want to know whether or not he really cares.
The Hospital Test or the Very Sick Test This one shouldn't be staged; it's very telling if you either end up in the hospital for something semi-serious (a week or so stay).
Similarly, you can stay home when you find yourself very ill.
The silver lining if either should occur is that you now have a chance to see how much he cares.
If he didn't' even stop by the hospital there's your answer right there.
If he was right by your side and brought you your favorite Gatorade and soup, there's a sign as well.
Actions ALWAYS speak louder than words.
He Makes a Big Sacrifice for You This gesture loses its splendor and meaning if he is obsessed with you knowing that he made the sacrifice, or he brags about it.
Your sweetie gets MAJOR points, however, if he makes a major sacrifice for you that you aren't even aware of and keeps it to himself.
This shows that he's putting you first, and he's looking out for you because he genuinely cares and not because he wants sex or applause.
He Calls to Check in If You're Going Through Something Rough A guy who deeply cares for you will not only remember the fact that you're going through a difficult situation, but he will also show his concern and care by calling and/or emailing or texting frequently to make sure you're alright.
He Always Remembers the Little Things In relationships, the small things are often what you will remember should things ever end.
Men aren't naturally gifted with details like woman are, so if he catches details about you, that really says he made an effort (How Cute!) If he's ordering dinner for both of you, will he be able to recall what your favorite dish is? Or if he's calling for a pizza, does he even remember if you're allergic to certain veggies or hate certain ingredients? Don't be Fooled by the Part-Time Boyfriend! If you find yourself with a part-time boyfriend, tell him that's exactly what he is and dump him.
These guys can be tricky and may be able to fool you for a while.
Eventually though, they'll fail to come through and their whole rotten scheme will fall apart.
The Part-Time Boyfriend is a guy who only acts like your guy when it's convenient for him.
Basically, he wants to have this cake and eat it too: the bragging rights of being your man even though he isn't man enough to handle the full job.
He's Pulled off a Perfect, Thoughtful Gift Very few men can pull this off without heavy hints, so if you found a guy who can then just marry the guy ASAP! It could be expensive or not, exotic or ordinary; the point is you love it and he was thinking of YOU and what YOU love when he picked t out.
Remember the Two Magic Words: Respect and Protectiveness If you care for someone, you will want to treat them with respect and will also feel protective towards them and want to keep them out of harms way.
If you're feeling disrespected on a regular basis, or he does not even defend you verbally f you're being insulted or attacked, this guy is a real loser who doesn't deserve you.
