Many women sometimes find it difficult to understand what feelings a man has for her. Even if the signs of attention are quite obvious, they can be both signs of sympathy and excessive gallantry. And after a few dates, the girls begin to exaggerate the significance of the events. Therefore, in order to correctly assess the situation, it is worth learning to recognize the true signs of love...

So, love and sympathy: what is the difference?

Even more experienced women often make the mistake of perceiving a light love or a man's sympathy as a manifestation of a serious feeling. The thing is that these emotions are very similar. Therefore, sometimes it may take quite a long time to recognize the true feelings of another person and their attitude towards him.

This can be done much faster if you first understand what it is that binds you together.

Sympathy occurs when you have a positive attitude towards a person, and they arouse your interest. Its signs are benevolence, location to the object of interest, the desire to spend time with him.

Love is one of the strongest experiences in a person's life. It is based on deeper feelings and a strong attachment.

Simple sympathy develops into a more serious and deeper feeling, but it is not known when exactly this will happen - and whether it will happen at all. The line that separates our feelings is very thin. However, we can distinguish them from each other if we understand the characteristic signs of such feelings.

The first sign of love in men is their willingness to make sacrifices for the sake of their chosen one. This is because the feeling of love is selfless and attuned to giving, not receiving. It is much stronger than sympathy. Of course, we will not refuse to help a person we like, but at the same time we will not give him the best to the detriment of our interests.

It seems to lovers that they can not live without each other and one day. And we take temporary separation from people we like much more calmly. Therefore, the next sign of love is continuous thoughts about the chosen one in moments of absence. Just a good-looking man, who disappeared for a while from the field of view, will be forgotten quite quickly.

Sympathy is, rather, a friendly feeling that encourages us to become friends, friends, colleagues. If a person we like does not have the same strong, mutual feelings, then we react to it calmly. And in turn, it is not mutual love that causes suffering. And only for the sake of our loved ones, we try to surpass ourselves, to become better.

Sympathy, on the other hand, is almost incapable of arousing anyone to commit a heroic act. A loving person is ready to overcome any obstacles in order to be with his partner.....

This serious feeling is inseparable from the concept of "we". Therefore, one of the most important signs of a man's love is the use of the words "us", "us". At the same time, no one should be burdened by the time spent together. On the contrary, a loving couple gets great pleasure from cooking dinner together, walking or talking on the phone.
