Every woman loves to hear sweet words. While a man’s sweet words are indeed pleasant, they don’t actually mean anything. A man who truly loves you will show you through actions, and a man who doesn’t love you will only deceive you with sweet words. Here is a story shared by a friend of mine:

I’ve known my boyfriend for three years, and he was the one who pursued me. We met at the same company, and during my internship, he helped me a lot because I had little experience after just graduating from college. He’s a year older than me and was very gentle and patient with me. Gradually, I fell in love with his care and protection.

After that, we started dating officially, and as time passed, I became increasingly dependent on him. Now, we’ve been in a relationship for three years, and my parents are pushing for our marriage.

Recently, I brought up the topic with him, but he was unusually hesitant and kept making excuses. Once, he was playing games on the sofa when I walked over and asked, “We’ve been together for so long. When are we going to meet my parents?”

He was surprised when he heard my question and said, “It’s too early. I want to focus on my career. When the time comes, we can meet my uncle and aunt.”

I felt disappointed, but I decided to respect his opinion. I entered this relationship with the intention of getting married, but he keeps asking me to wait.

I brought it up many times, but he always had excuses and reasons to dodge the issue.

One day, I accidentally saw a flirtatious text on his phone.

I had a big argument with him and decisively broke up with him.

After the breakup, I realized that a man can fake love. He sweet-talked me and made commitments while we were together, but behind my back, he was still in contact with his ex-girlfriend. This kind of relationship disgusts me more and more.

Leaving him was the right choice, and I have no regrets.

It’s been over a month since we broke up, and I’ve deleted all his contact information. I believe that when a relationship ends, it should end completely. He has tried to contact me many times, but I have refused him every time.

I shared my story to help others understand.

A man’s verbal expressions of love don’t necessarily reflect his true feelings. Only when he shows his love through actions can you believe him.

In love, women are often naive. Don’t be deceived by a man’s sweet words, and don’t easily invest in a man.

Don’t waste your time on someone who isn’t worth it.

I believe my friend handled her situation correctly. Her timely intervention prevented tragedy from happening.

In a relationship, both parties should be loyal to each other. If a man is divided in his attention, he won’t have a happy ending.

Maintaining a relationship requires effort from both sides. Some men may speak sweetly, but in reality, they don’t truly love you. Their actions reveal it.

Men who seem to love you on the surface but don’t actually love you mostly exhibit these characteristics.

1. Always making you wait

Roland once said, “When you truly love someone, you forget about your own happiness and only care about the happiness of the other person.”

Would a man who loves you be willing to make you wait? No, a man who truly loves you would want to marry you as soon as possible. A man who doesn’t love you will keep using various excuses to procrastinate and evade.

How much of your youth can a woman spend waiting for a man?

A man who truly loves you will prioritize you, rather than constantly making you wait or suffer.

So, the word “wait” is just an excuse from a man who doesn’t love you.

2. Sweet talk but no action

Often, a man’s sweet words and grand promises can move a woman, but if a man only speaks sweetly to you without backing it up with actions, he actually doesn’t love you. He’s just hoping to take advantage of your kindness to win your favor and achieve his own goals. Such a man is the most selfish.

Sweet words may sound nice, but I hope all women can remain rational in love and not be deceived by a man’s lies. Sometimes, sweet words are useless without practical actions.

3. Always comparing you to others

Tagore once said, “Love is another name for understanding and empathy.”

As the saying goes, “Nobody’s perfect.” No one can be perfect, but a man who truly loves you will love you just the same, flaws and all.

Only those who don’t love you will constantly compare you to others.

Men who constantly compare you to others are vain. They may say they love you, but in reality, they are incredibly selfish.

Cathy and her boyfriend were in a relationship for a year, and during the six months they lived together, her boyfriend constantly compared her to others. He criticized her dressing and lack of makeup skills. Cathy felt very wronged by her boyfriend’s criticism, considering that they were already working hard together. To save money and prepare for marriage, she hardly ever went shopping, but her boyfriend’s constant criticism made her feel very sad and upset.

In a relationship, a man who truly loves you won’t find fault in you, while those who don’t love you will hurt you in the name of love.

A man who truly loves you will give you freedom and help you become a better version of yourself, while a man who doesn’t love you only loves himself. His words may sound good, but in reality, it’s all about selfishness.

In real life, it’s quite clear whether a man loves you. The above three details can reveal it.

Some men may speak sweet words, but they may not actually love you.

His sweet words only have meaning when backed by actions. If a man’s love is only empty words, then that love is not worth cherishing.

I hope everyone can find their one true love, and every woman can be cherished by a man.
