Psychologist Yulia Vatutina told how to understand that a man has feelings

Understanding that a man has feelings may not be so easy, because each person has his own individual patterns of expressing emotions.

Psychologist-psychotherapist, coach Yulia Vatutina gives a detailed answer to the question about men's feelings.

There are a few signs you can focus on.

1. He shows attention. If a man shows interest in your life, asks questions, and listens when you talk, this may be a sign that he cares about you and is interested in your feelings.
2. He makes small signs of attention. This can be expressed in anything from banal flowers to cooking dinner.
3. He shows emotions. Not being shy when expressing emotions can be a sign that he trusts you and feels emotionally close to you. For example, he may not be afraid to cry in front of you or simply openly express his sympathy.
4. He tries to spend more time with you. If a man tries to see you as often as possible, it may indicate that he wants to be near you and enjoy your company.
5. He is jealous. If a man is jealous of you when you spend time with other men, it may indicate that he is worried and afraid of losing you.
6. He seeks physical contact. A man who takes your hand or hugs you whenever possible is expressing his affection.
7. He talks about the future. If a man talks about future plans together, such as what you will be doing in a year, it may indicate that he wants to commit to you in a meaningful way.
8. He supports you. Support in difficult times can be a manifestation of his feelings.

But it is important to remember that everyone expresses their feelings in their own way. If you have doubts, the best way to find out how a man feels is to simply talk to him openly. Open communication and honesty can help dispel many doubts.

Subtle Signs That a Man Has Feelings

In addition to the signs described above, there are also less obvious manifestations of male sincerity. These include the following.

1. He tries to make you laugh. If a man tries to joke, it may mean that he cares about your mood.
2. He asks his friends and family what they think of you. If a man asks his loved ones what they think of you or wants you to meet his friends or family, it may indicate that he is serious about you.
3. He tries to listen and understand you. If a man pays attention to your words, feelings and emotions, asks questions and shows interest, this may indicate that he wants to be close to you and support you.
4. He expresses his care not only with words but also with actions. If a man shows care with actions, for example, helps you with work or buys medicines during illnesses, then this speaks of serious feelings.

These are just a few examples of how a man can express his feelings in subtle ways. The absence of these signs does not mean that he has no feelings.

How to understand that feelings are fake

Determining if a man's feelings are fake can be difficult, especially if the man is good at hiding his true intentions.

However, there are a few signs that may indicate that a man may be showing fake feelings.

1. He falls in love too quickly. If a man shows excessive passion without reason, it may be a sign that he is playing a certain role, rather than showing genuine love.
   He may want to gain your trust and get closer to you in order to gain immediate benefits.
2. He doesn't show much interest in you. If a man doesn't ask you many questions about you, doesn't show any interest in your life and hobbies, this may indicate that his feelings are fake.
   A man doesn’t have to constantly ask questions and play the role of an interviewer in a relationship, but he should at least sometimes be interested in your well-being, your affairs, etc.
3. He doesn't show his emotions and doesn't respond to yours. If a man is embarrassed about his feelings even after several months of a relationship and doesn't respond to yours, this may be a sign of insincerity. He may just want to take advantage of your attention and time, not wanting to give anything in return.
4. He lies or holds back. If a man lies or holds back something from you, it may be a sign that his feelings are fake. Any form of deception can indicate a lack of sincerity and trust in the relationship.

But it is important to remember that your ideas about the sincerity of feelings may differ from your ideas about a man’s feelings.

Therefore, you should not judge your partner simply because he does not behave as you expect. If you doubt his sincerity, it is better to discuss your concerns with him openly and honestly.

In addition, these and other lists with various signs should not become a reason for unnecessary quarrels. Any conversation about feelings should be calm and respectful.
