My friend Jamie talked to me the other day and asked me a great question, “What are some signs he is falling for you? Like if I wanted to know if he’s feeling something special, what should I do?” Great question, Jamie!
All of us have had crushes at least once in our lives. So it is easy to understand that talking to your crush is not the easiest thing in the world. You get butterflies in your stomach; you get a little shy and even develop anxiety when they are around.
But once you make the first move and you are at the talking phase or starting to get to know each other, you are finally at a place where you get to uncover many things about the person you have been interested in for the longest time.
However, there have been many instances where the other person had no idea what was happening during that phase because you didn’t directly tell them your feelings. But we all know being upfront about your feelings is difficult, especially for someone you crush.
Sure Signs He is Falling For You
If you ever find yourself stuck in such a dilemma, don’t worry. The good news is a few signs will tell you how the other person might be feeling. These are not sure signs, and these gestures could have different meanings concerning the scenario, but there are a few general signs you can look out for.
He Is Always The First One To Make Contact
The most obvious of all the signs that point towards a man falling for you is someone who always initiates contact. If your man is always the one who texts or calls first or makes plans for you to meet, it’s sure that he is already head over heels for you and will do anything to see you every chance he gets.

If your man starts using such words, just know he has already fallen for you. It shows that the person feels a sense of belongingness with you, and by using such terms, you are showing your sense of togetherness in the relationship.
You Are Always His Priority
When a man starts to fall for you, he will start putting your needs before his own. This means that you are the number one priority in his life. It also shows how much value you hold in his life that he will give up everything if and when you need him.
A man genuinely in love with you wants to be there for you and make you happy in every way he can, so prioritizing you is a way of showing his level of care and love.
He Starts Getting More Affectionate
If your man goes out of his way to make little gestures of affection for you, like brushing your hair out of your face or holding the door open for you, it is sure he has already fallen for you. He might start becoming more touchy and initiating conversations with a flirtatious tone.
Perhaps it is too early to start telling you all his feelings, so he might begin by subtly showing you affection and then slowly ease into telling you about his feelings.

The first few weeks when you start falling for someone are the best. You feel excited to see them and giddy every time you spend time with them. The almost childlike innocence that comes with the early stages of relationships makes them so magical. However, instead of rushing into things, it is always better to take things slow and enjoy the process.
Embrace all the good and the bad that comes with the relationship and take things steady while also enjoying the process with your partner.
