Prince: How to Know...

He received this question in the middle of the night, makes him think of the answer. How do you know if a guy is falling in love with you, and how do you know if he is for real? As far as he knows about relationship and about himself as a guy, falling in love is easy for a guy who has not think much about future relationship to be. To know if he is for real, you first need to know about his past relationship, obviously not from him but from a third party who knows him well without taking side on either party.

Then assess his personality through ‘outing’ with him, and see how he reacts to the surrounding and situation. You may need to observe the way he behaves and carries himself, as well as the topic he brings up during outing. No man can fake himself to an extend perfect, without flaw; you will notice it somehow if he is not real if you are observant enough.

You need to strike for transparency even in friendship, this can help you to know more about him and to see how much is he willing to share with you truthfully. You may also need to play along with the flow to test the water, but not excessively to an extent he may misunderstand about your intention. Hinting sometime plays an important role as well, where it comes from both party, it is like sending a signal across and received a response.

Sometimes, a more direct approach is encourage so, but it depends on the personality of the particular person, sometime he may know what you are looking for and act to be one. Meanwhile, don’t get obsessive toward materials, he may buy you a lot of present or even bring you out for nice food, nice restaurant or buy you nice cloth, but the sincerity may not exist.

There are many ways to understand a person character, because the inner character always reflects human outer personality. Time is all you need to know more about a person. However, do not be over sensitive to certain response. You may also ask him question such as ‘relationship is what…’, and ask him to continue the sentence, and evaluate the answer. There’s no perfect answer but at least you know what he is looking for. Below are some basic examples but not definite:

If he says relationship is long-term – practically looking for a stable relationship

If he says relationship is challenging – on and off in relationship, and ‘may be’ lack of sincerity as there are something else he is looking for perhaps.

If he says relationship is love – love is blind, but romance

If he says relationship perfect – a good relationship may be too important to him, sense of jealousy, caring and more

If he says relationship is good – stable and steady, looking for accompany

If he says relationship is family- long-term, and strike for give and take in relationship.

Last but not least, the lower grade of testing, “Get him drunk and see what his underlying intention”! Of course, it is for the initial stage before getting into it.
