There are so many things people can do to show their partners how much they love them. Maybe they buy them flowers, take them out to a fancy dinner or a Broadway show, or leave them sweet post-it notes around their home.

There are many ways that men with particular zodiac signs show their love. When a Taurus man hugs you, you definitely know he loves you. 

If he's not showing you his affection, perhaps he's reminding you daily with a simple "I love you," and sealing it with a kiss. Or maybe she tells you how much you mean to her.

No matter what your partner does to show you he or she loves you, nothing compares to the physical ways someone expresses their love and gratitude. That might come in the form of a foot rub, massage, or a long hug and kiss.

Though words are nice, it's often the physical aspect of expressing the love that people appreciate most. Wouldn't you rather have a sweet massage from your love than a trip to the spa? Doesn't it feel good to have him touching your waist when you're doing something monotonous, like standing in line at the grocery store?

When a Virgo man hugs you, and other physical signs of love

Maybe you're not used to this kind of physical closeness; your past partners never showed you intimate touch in this way. When you don't expect certain things in your relationships, it's easy to push them out of your mind and not think you deserve them.

The point is, maintaining that physical contact and connection in a relationship is important. And that's where astrology comes in. Astrology helps us to learn about ourselves, as well as the ones we love.

He can say "I love you" as much as he wants, but at the end of the day, it's the way he shows you he's falling in love with you is that matters most. As the old adage goes, actions speak louder than words when finding out if a man is in love. 

Here's how he physically says "I love you," according to his zodiac sign.

1. Aries (March 21 - April 19)

If an Aries man loves you, you already know because they're so direct and bold. If you want some additional evidence of his love, he probably spends a lot of time touching you like when you're standing in line at the grocery store, he may grab your hand, or he'll be sure to have his arm around your waist. He'll also do some showing off of how athletic he is, and if he thinks he has any competition, he'll physically prove that he's a better catch.
