It may not be obvious that he's acting weird because he loves you.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Oct 07, 2016
If everybody acted the same exact way every time, the world would be a pretty boring place. It's the differences in behavior and personality that keep life interesting.
We don't gravitate to characters in books, movies, and television because they act in predictable ways; we like them for the way they behave, their mysteries, and especially when the do something unexpected.
But it can be difficult to figure out what someone's behavior actually means.
You may be involved with a partner who isn't comfortable showing their emotions, so you never know how they're feeling. You try to get some clues from their body language but it isn't easy to translate that, either.
If you have strong feelings for someone but are unsure if they feel the same way, it can be especially confusing.
You can be the most confident and courageous person on the planet, but no one enjoys being hurt, and telling someone that you love them without knowing how they feel can be especially terrifying.
Is there anything worse than declaring your love only to have that person tell you that they don't return your feelings? You feel like a fool and wish you could take it all back.
There are no guarantees that the person you're dating wants to take your relationship to the next level.
There's no app that can tell you what someone's behavior indicates, but astrology can offer some insight into behavior. And with everyone having their own way of behaving, we need all the help we can get.

Aries are a very take-charge sign and will be calling all the shots.

But he will also use non-traditional ways, such as spontaneous picnics on the beach or air-balloon rides.
When he loves you, he'll be very generous with his time and love, but mostly he'll want to show you what an adventurous life with him will be. He may still be flirtatious with other women but get super-jealous if you even look at another man.

Love is very connected to marriage and children for people born under the sign of Cancer. So if he loves you, he's going to show it by his eyes misting up at rom-coms where there's a marriage at the end or meeting a friend's new baby.
He's getting emotional because that's what Cancers do, but also because he has someone in mind that he's envisioning having a life with. If he introduces you to his parents, friends and coworkers, that's as much of a declaration of love as is a Shakespeare monologue.

A Leo man will be pretty obvious with his love. When he's not buying you expensive gifts, he'll be singing your praises. Yes, he's usually a pretty good guy but if he's being extra kind and affectionate, that will be his way to turn his love up a notch.
Don't be surprised if he does something kind of outrageous like hire a skywriter to ask you to marry him. Leos love a grand gesture and make almost anything an event.

You'd think that someone in love wouldn't be hypercritical but that's how it is for a Virgo. If he loves you he'll be amazingly supportive of your hopes and dreams, and will also be a bit critical about everything you do. Don't take the criticism that seriously; it's just part of his personality.
Virgos aren't showy at all, so it can be really challenging to know that they love you, because each has their own special way of showing it. You're going to have to trust your own intuition when it comes to a Virgo in love.

A Scorpio man is a man of mystery and when they love you, they may do everything in their power to convince you that they don't, just so they can make sure you're worthy of their love and attention. Once they're convinced that you're the one of them, the intensity level will go way up and they will be very focused on you.
But be careful! Scorpios can get very jealous and it can be scary. If he loves you, he's going to love you with every fiber of his being.

The good thing about Sagittarius men is that when they fall in love, they'll dive feet-first into a relationship. The bad news is, they're constantly falling in love. They need constant stimulation and can get bored very easily.
They're very funny and philosophical, and as long as you can keep them fascinated, you can keep their love. Yes, you'll know that they love you; you just won't know how lasting that love is.

Obvious and predictable, Aquarius men are not. You may have to use your best psychological investigative skills to figure what he's feeling for you. Does he seem riveted by everything you say, laugh at your jokes, and can't seem to spend enough time with you? Then he probably loves you.
Sharing emotions is not something that Aquarius individuals enjoy doing, which is the reason they can come off as indifferent and cold. They just really don't want to get hurt, so they can be quite guarded.
