3 Sneaky Signs He Loves You

The male mind is a mystery, but it's always fun to try to untangle-especially when you realize the code for understanding any male behavior is to realize that love makes the lads do crazy things.

He gives you a puzzling present
Guys give lousy gifts. You know it. We know it. That checkout guy at The Home Depot knows it. Given this, perhaps it's worth viewing any gift guys bestow as a symbol of great love - not in spite of the fact that the gift will be terrible, but because they know the gift will be terrible.

Your guy knows what he likes, and if he can experience those things with the woman he loves, he's happy.

What to do if you all you want is to go out
