[Someone who is not really in love with you but say they are - And someone who actively fakes being in love with you]
Regarding Men

2 days ago, we were joking around with a friend of mine (a guy) and he said something that stuck with me:

I don’t really know what love is but with (GF’s name) I wanted to stay in bed after I finished. That was weird, I told myself that’s probably what love is.

See, men are not really good with emotions.

Of course, it is changing but not at the pace the media seems to describe it.

What that means is, when a man is in love, he actually displays the same basic behavior his Dad and grand-father displayed before him.

When a man is in love:

He tells everyone

Especially family and friends. If you never met his family and/or his friends, no matter what he says, it’s BS.
He wants to be “your fixer”

Call him and tell him that your car didn’t start this morning and watch his reaction. A man in love is a fixer “hold on Babe, I’m coming” or “Wait a minute, I’m at work, I’m calling Dave, he’ll come in a bit”.
He is willing to throw a punch for you
Your security and respect become his duty. Some guys are built for it and some aren't. But really, if someone threatens you in any shape or form, he will react the same way.

Regarding Women

Women are built for this sh**… literally. Her brain is wired for emotions.

If a woman feels warm, wanted and adored and is in the attachment phase, she concludes that she’s probably in love.
When a woman is in love:

She talks ... a lot

A woman’s focus is usually on communication, harmony and sharing. If she’s consistently exhibiting a behavior that is not aligned with those values ... there’s something she’s not telling you.

She involves herself in your world

Since one of her big value is sharing, she will want to get to know you more and more. She will want to know your family and friends. She may not like them much, but she wants to know them. She does that because she has a hunch and wants to verify it. The more she’s involved in your world, the more she gets to know you and [find out] if you can fulfill her various needs.

She actively looks for new ways to become the center of your world

This is the main reason women are the organizers of all the trips: the “love escapes”, the “family trips” etc… A woman intuitively knows that a man can forget his commitment to her. Therefore she takes the time to organize their life.

One last word about “faking it”.

I don’t know one person who’s ready to go through all of the above just to get you to ... I don’t know what. Therefore, I wouldn’t spend too much time on this kind of idea.
