Falling in love with someone new is a beautiful feeling, isn't it? The butterflies have a celebration in your stomach every day, your days are filled with wonderment and longing, and dreams become even sweeter at night. While you can always pinpoint that you are falling in love, knowing if the other person is feeling the same can sometimes be nerve-racking.

After all, reciprocal feelings of love can make a relationship stronger and deepen the existing bond, but how can you be sure that your partner is feeling the same way? If you've been finding yourself plucking petals and guessing if he loves you or loves-you-not, this article can surely help you. Look out for the following signs from your partner that show he too is in love with you. 

One of the most important things that a man can give a woman is time. In our busy world, having quality time to ourselves can seem difficult at times owing to busy work schedules. However, a man who loves you will not make excuses and make sure to spend time with you. An important thing to consider here is the difference between killing time together and spending time together. When two people truly do love each other, they want to spend time with each other doing things the other loves.

For example, your idea of "quality time" may be taking walks together and discussing your lives, while his idea may be to watch a movie together and discuss it. A man who loves you will not make you feel bad for wanting your quality time with him, nor will he make excuses to avoid doing what you love. He puts your needs as his priority and does so happily. A relationship that is built on mutual respect and love with each person putting the other as their priority is the best kind of relationship out there. 

Making someone a priority can also be seen in the small things. Does he text you to let you know he will be late coming home? Does he help you out with the things you need at home without complaining? Does he make an effort to understand you when you spend quality time together? Does he make time for people most important to you, such as friends and family? When you are with a partner who makes you a priority in their lives, you feel like you don't have to be scared to address issues that you have or feel as though you are asking for too much. A man in love with you will make sure you feel the love.

We often hear the phrase that your partner should accept you for who you are, or he/she can take the high road out of the relationship. It is important to remember that while this phrase is certainly true, it can also be misunderstood and lead to an untimely end of what could have potentially been a great relationship. Accepting someone for who they are means that a person who loves you loves all of you, faults included. It is important to remember that just because someone accepts you does not mean they have to approve of everything or that they have to agree with everything. It is normal to have clashes because of differences—regardless of how much someone accepts you—in every relationship. 

However, a man who accepts you for who you are is appreciative, celebratory, and downright loving of all the traits you bring into the relationship. Individual differences are inevitable, but a man who loves you does not see them as a thing that needs to be changed. Working through the biggest challenges requires understanding and compromise from both parties, and a man in love is unafraid to tackle his own flaws. He loves you and understands you for who you are, and is not adamant that you get rid of traits he deems negative just to make his life easier. Being with a man who accepts you feels like you can be yourself without any stress. You're not putting on a show, nor are you trying to keep the equilibrium all on your own. 

Popular culture teaches us that every relationship has a "giver" and a "taker." While this may be true in a lot of cases, a relationship is more complicated than that. Some people are more comfortable giving, and some others taking—but in the end, each person has both abilities in a healthy relationship. A man who truly loves you is a giver without being malicious about it. For example, a partner may think that by "giving" you time on a weekend, he is done with his "quota" for the week. This type of thinking is detrimental to both parties in the relationship. 

A man who loves truly loves you gives you what you need without making you worry that you are asking for too much. Moreover, a giving man does not always need to be asked to give; he does so because he loves you. At this juncture, communication is crucial, however. We cannot read minds, so we have to let our partners know what we need from them. Having an honest and open conversation about that can save you a lot of misunderstandings and arguments. A man who truly loves does not forget to give you what you need, nor will he resent you for having needs. He gives openly and heartily. 

You are on the mind of the person who loves you all the time, and there isn't room in his brain and especially his heart for another woman. A man that really loves and truly respects you wouldn't even consider straying from you and doesn't make you feel like you are compared to other women either. "Checking out" other women, for example, can be hurtful to you and may make you feel as though you are not good enough. A loving man would never make you feel this way. 

Respect is one of the major pillars that keep the foundation of a relationship strong, and a man who is not faithful does not show respect towards you. There is a stark difference between being loved and being respected. While it may seem that love and respect are interchangeable, it is not the case. Respect stems from another person valuing your thoughts, opinions, and expectations. An unsaid but mutually understood expectation in any relationship is loyalty, and a man who truly loves you would never make you question his faithfulness towards you. 

For most of us, it's easy to fall for someone and fall deeply in love while in a healthy and loving relationship. During the honeymoon phase, the world is viewed through rose-colored glasses. When you are with the right person, your gut lets you know early on that this is the man to spend the rest of your life with. For those of us lucky enough to have such a relationship, it is a blissful feeling. 

Unfortunately, some men decide that you are not the one for them early on, yet they don't say a word about it. They continue to give false hope until they are given the ultimate question: do you see a long-term future with me? This leads to devastating heartbreak for only one party, while the other may escape essentially unscathed. Someone that really loves you will not do this, and he will let you know exactly where you stand as early as possible.

This doesn't always have to mean that he is making a commitment to marry you as soon as possible or something along those lines. A loving man is always upfront about his feelings, and this includes being honest about the fact that he is not yet ready for a long term commitment. A good man does not string you along and use your love to soothe himself— he puts your feelings and expectations first, and lets you know exactly what he thinks. He will never give you false hope.
