How can you tell he loves you?

Because men are not known for being overly showy of their emotions, it can be difficult to know what their emotions are, even love. So, how can you tell he loves you? Consider the following:

1. Does he spend time with you? A man is not going to spend time doing something he doesn't like, this is why it is so hard to convince him to go to the ballet with you, or shop, or whatever it is that he doesn't like and you do. A man who spends time with a woman does it for a reason, and chances are that affection, which leads to love, is one of them. When he gets off work, who does he spend his time with? If it is you, then he probably loves you, or is at least heading in that direction.
2. Does he listen to you? A man who spends time with someone just to get action is not going to put in the time to listen to them. Especially not when they are griping or complaining. If he is someone who listens to you, and that you can talk to, he probably loves you. People, especially men, do not listen to, spend time on, or talk with people they do not like. Men, are not always known for being conversationalists, so if he listens and talks with you, then there is a good chance he loves you.
3. Does he show concern or want to help you solve your problems? Men feel protective of the people they love. If he can't listen to a problem you are having without jumping in with a potential solution, then there is a good chance he loves you. If he is concerned about you, and asks you how you feel, if there is anything you need, and hovers when you are sick, then he loves you.
4. Does he call you? Would a man call you, waste his minutes, and time, on someone he does not care for? It may not be love yet, but it is certainly taking steps in the right direction. This is not a matter of whether or not he takes your calls, but whether or not he actively seeks you out, phoning you, taking the initiative to be able to talk to you, set plans with you, etc. Men do not seek people out unless they like them.
5. Do you tell him you love him? You may not know he loves you because he is uncertain of your feelings for him. It is hard for people to risk their hearts. It is difficult to tell someone you love them and be rejected if they do not say it in return. If you haven't expressed to him your love, then it is a reason for him not to express his, even if he feels it. Additionally, if you have, and he doesn't say it back, well then that is something to think about.
Chances are if you say yes to the first four questions listed above, then he loves you. If you say yes to the last one, then he may just not be ready to tell you. If you said no, well then it is time to ask, tell him how you feel, and ask him how he feels in return. You won't know unless you ask.
