I’m a firm believer in the idea that actions speak louder than words in relationships. I learned that the hard way, by sticking around for too many men who said they cared about me and loved me, but really didn’t show it. But, since they said it, I thought it must be true. Any time they dropped the ball on something, disappointed me, or weren’t there for me, I reminded myself that they said they cared for me so, these little mistakes didn’t mean anything. But they meant everything. What good are words if they aren’t backed up by actions? Who cares how much a man claims to love you if he doesn’t show up when you need him there? It’s pretty hard to feel that love in those times. So, don’t listen to what a new partner says: watch what he does. Here are little actions that show he’s truly invested.
