Telltale Signs He’s Falling for You

Revealing cosmic signs that he’s in it for the long haul.

Men aren’t the most emotionally articulate beings in this world, and reading them is like trying to figure out Braille if you’re sighted. Sure, you can just ask how they’re feeling, but that can often leave you more confused than before. After all, when falling in love, logic is the first thing to go, for men and women alike. However, with men actions speak louder than words.

To find out if you’re on the right path in the early stages of the mating game, look for the signs that his sign is notorious for sending out. From there, you can do as you wish. After all, sometimes it’s just about finding out if you still have it.

Aries Man (March 21-April 19)
Aries is the first sign, or the baby, of the zodiac, making “me” an Aries man’s favorite word. He’s not the type to be apologetic and is hardly aware of how self-obsessed he can come across. However, when he falls in love (which usually happens quickly with an Aries), he’ll put your considerations ahead of his own and will express regret for his bad behavior. If you hear, “I’m sorry,” know you’re on the right path — one that leads straight to his heart.

Taurus Man (April 20- May 20)
Taurus likes everything simple. Don’t expect anything fancy when it comes to his expressions of love; he isn’t a flashy type when it comes to gifts or romantic dates. He shows he cares by touching and showing affection, as he is the sensualist sign and likes to experience the one he adores with all his five senses. Then, as time goes on, he shows he’s in love by getting comfortable with you. Yes, that means if you’ve been vegging on his couch, watching his favorite TV show and he hands over the remote to you, take it as a true sign of love.

Gemini Man (May 21- June 20)
To love a twin is truly one of the harder tasks in romance. Because dating a Gemini is like dating two people with opposing points of view. One day he might love you, the next he might not. Unfortunately, the typical way to know if he has truly fallen is if he has dumped you (or come very close), flipped out about his decision, and then returned with complete and utter humility. Yes, it’s crazy and true, but to find his real feelings he must swing between two different emotional situations and decide which he prefers. If he returns, it is a sincere sign of devotion.

Cancer Man (June 21-July 22)
Cancers are delicate creatures, especially the men. A Cancer man doesn’t like to fall for anyone unless he has solid reassurance that his feelings are going to be returned or supported. Typically, the one person he can always get that reassurance from is his mom (or another close, nurturing figure). Yes, when he brings you around to meet the “other woman” in his life for approval and she gives you a ringing endorsement, it’ll mean he is ready to make you part of his long-term goals and give you the love you deserve.

Leo Man (July 23- August 22)
Leos love the whole superstar lifestyle and aren’t the types to show up to an event solo or without fanfare. They have an idea in their minds that every moment is a red-carpet moment. This means when a Leo asks you to be his date at all pertinent events in his life (on a consistent basis), he is inaugurating you as his second in command and giving you his highest honor — his heart. To Leo, showing you off and taking pride in being with you is his truest endorsement of love.

Virgo Man (August 23- September 22)
When Virgo senses he might be in love, the first thing he does is research all that has to do with his object of affection. Expect him to Google you or the things that he knows interest you, from your heritage and career to obscure hobbies and favorite cuisines. Then watch out for when these topics pop up again; if he suddenly seems miraculously well versed in them — it’s evidence he has fallen for you. Being a know-it-all about everything you is his way of saying, “I’m crazy for you.”

Libra Man (September 23- October 22)
Libra is the sign of partnership. He goes from single to committed at lightning speed. If he’s even a little bit into you, you’ll know right away, because you’ll be spending every waking moment with him in couple mode. However, this is not necessarily an indicator of things to come. The true gauge that you’re both in it for the long haul is when you’re networking as a couple and creating a community of friends who fill your lives with enriching activities.

Scorpio Man (October 23-November 21)
Pride is everything to Scorpio. He is hesitant to open up about his feelings, because his fear of humiliation or being rejected runs deep. He also sizes his partners up and down before revealing even an iota of his emotions. However, when he does feel comfortable and trusting enough to reveal his true self, he opens up completely and overwhelmingly. Know he’s truly mad for you when he invites you into his life, which includes meeting everyone he cares about and learning about at least one of the skeletons in his closet. And know that the deeper he falls, the more he’ll share.

Sagittarius Man (November 22- December 21)
Sagittarius is the sign of the optimist, which means he falls in love fast and often. He lives for the moment, and if you connect with him, his enthusiasm will be obvious. However, if he considers you much more than a passing whim, he’ll show it by being the one to initiate long-term plans with you. While this might just mean scheduling a vacation getaway next month, you should realize this is a big for a man who wants nothing to interfere with his freedom. When he is looking forward to spending time with you in the future, and taking action on it, it’s an indicator that he is completely smitten.

Capricorn Man (December 22-January 19)
When it comes to life and love, Capricorn is all about business. He doesn’t involve himself in anything without seeing it as a long-term investment, and relationships are no exception. If he has stopped offering to pick up the tab — it’s a clue to run the other way. But if he is seriously falling for you, he’ll show it by cracking open that wallet a little wider each time you see him. For instance, dates will get fancier and gifts will be things that appreciate in value. (Of course, be warned that once you make the ultimate commitment and have that ring on your finger, that wallet might snap shut again!)

Aquarius Man (January 20-February 18)
Aquarius isn’t the most intimate creature, and that’s why his sign rules the house of friendship. If you want to know if you have won his heart, look to his friends — observe how they treat you and whether they tell you what he is feeling. Yes, it’s not rare for an Aquarian man to allow his friends to express his emotions for him. Besides, it’s important for him to get his pals’ OK before he takes the plunge. That’s right — the more acceptance you get from them, the more comfortable he’ll feel falling in love with you.

Pisces Man (February 19-March 20)
Pisces is romantic through and through. He loves without holding back and wears his heart on his sleeve. So if he isn’t making a fuss about your month-to-month anniversaries or talking about your future in terms of “forever” (even if it’s after only a week of knowing him), you’d better throw that fish back in. He is a man who thrives on total abandon in his relationships. If you want to know if he considers you his number one gal, look for immediate over-the-top declarations of love.
