How do you know if a woman’s truly in love with you? My feature in Glam shares 13 signs that prove her love is real. #SignsSheLovesYou #Interview
Some women are transparent about their feelings, while others can be harder to figure out—especially in romantic relationships. If you’re seeing someone and unsure whether her feelings match yours, there are subtle signs worth noticing. While it’s important to have an open and honest conversation about emotions, there are also specific behaviors women often display when they’re truly in love.
My interview with journalist Jena Aska covers these 13 signs to assist you in knowing where you are in the relationship. She writes, “In a candid conversation with Glam, New York City relationship expert and creator of the Love À La Carte Method, Susan Winter, shared her expertise when it comes to figuring out if a woman loves you. From how she treats you to how much she is letting you into her life, there are numerous aspects of your relationship that can tell you how she truly feels about you, even if she hasn’t said those three little words yet.
She pays attention to the little things that make you happy
A big part of a healthy relationship is knowing little details about your partner — particularly ones that aren’t that well-known about them. “A woman who loves you knows how you like your coffee, knows when you need a hug, and knows the little things that make you feel special,” Susan Winter shares exclusively with us. “It isn’t a chore. It isn’t a duty. These are the small little things she does knowing they’ll make you happy.”
Of course, this looks different in each relationship, but at the end of the day it’s the little things that do add up and matter. “Each individual has their own love language. And when a woman loves you, she’s taken time to figure out yours,” Winter adds. “Whether through conscious effort or instinctive observation, she prioritizes showing her love in ways that resonate with you.” If a woman is making an effort to figure out the details to ensure your life is easier with her in it, she is most likely falling in love.
She always stands up for you — even when you’re not around
When a woman becomes protective over you, she has probably caught feelings. “When a woman loves you, she stands up for you — both in private and in public,” Susan Winter shares exclusively with Glam. “She won’t mock you in front of her friends or speak poorly about you to others in a manner that could degrade your reputation.” Of course, she might still occasionally confide to a friend or a family member about something — but it will never be out of spite; instead, it will serve as a way for her to figure out how to solve a problem (and potentially get an objective opinion from a trusted person).
Winter adds that even if she doesn’t agree with you, she will still have your back in public, regardless of whether you’re there or not. “She has your back, not just behind closed doors, but where it matters most,” the expert tells us. “She may disagree with you, but her battles will be in private. True love carries an inherent respect for the partnership, recognizing it as a united front — two people moving through life together, side by side.” Of course, this doesn’t mean that she won’t disagree with you or challenge you; it simply means that for her, it’s always the two of you against the whole world.
She actually wants to solve arguments (not just win them)
No relationship is perfect, and arguments are often part of a couple’s dynamic. In fact, arguing with your partner more than your friends is completely normal. However, if the partners are keen to solve the problems without the need to be right, that’s when you know they truly care about each other. “When a woman loves you, the relationship matters,” Susan Winter says. “Nurturing its growth while preserving its strength is a priority. Because of her emotional investment, she feels a deep need to resolve conflicts fairly and ensure misunderstandings don’t linger.”
In fact, Winter explains further that when a woman is eager to solve an issue in her relationship, it actually shows just how much she cares about her partner and their future. “She values harmony and unity — not by ignoring issues, but by addressing any internal or external threats to the relationship.” Any obstacles that a woman in the relationship comes across, she will do her best to overcome them together with her partner, regardless of who was right or what her initial thoughts were. “Conflict resolution, negotiation, and restoring balance aren’t about sacrificing herself or her needs; they’re about seeking the highest and best outcome for both partners,” the expert adds in our exclusive chat. “She knows that love cannot exist with resentment, and seeks honest communication as the basis for correcting any conflicts within the partnership.””
