I can tell you with absolute certainty that YES.. a man can be just as head over heels in love.. and show/express it as clearly as any love struck woman.

The man in my life is more than happy to let me know if I am falling behind on texts... I have opened my mailbox flooded with emails written during the wee hours of the morning - when he was thinking about me and could not sleep... and he never misses a chance to make (and keep) a phone date. He tells me & shows me how much he loves & cherishes me every day.

I have known many men... romantically and just good friends.. that have always been comfortable expressing & showing when they are crazy in love

No.

Yes, I check for communication (email, message on the phone, etc.) but not to where I think only about her all of the time.

When I'm in love, falling in love is constant, and the whole world springs into blossom. Fiery hot pulsing heartthrobs are constant, but almost as a new drumbeat to the whole fabric of living and experiencing everything. I talk to friends, go to work, do everything that is normal, plus ten things just because of being in love.
The world doesn't revolve around her...it picks up speed and gets brighter and intense, and the blood is always rushing to my face and burning a smile inside of my mind and heart.

That's what she does to my whole life...but then I am so deliriously happy with living like this that I forget about her sometimes.

I think all men secretly want the same kind of raomance that women do. They are just more guarded of heir emotions and their hearts. Like other posters have pointed out, men are conditioned not to show as much emotion as women, but that doesn't mean they don't have them. In my experience, when a man falls, he falls hard. Even within a committed relationship, men often wait for the woman's lead. They are feeling love and desire and passion, but they wait for the woman to say "I love you" first because we're the "emotional" ones. Oh, they don't mind initiating sex, but for all the "lovey dovey" stuff they let their woman set the pace. Let them loose and the flood gates open.

My boyfriend has been hurt before by someone he was deeply in love with and had spent 3 years with. Even though I could tell how much he loved me, I could also feel him holding back and protecting himself. On his birthday I wrote him a wonderful letter about what he means to me and how I feel about him. It was like a switch was flipped. Where before he reserved his "I love you" for special moments and every once in a while, he now tells me every day, sometime more than once. He hugs me tighter, buys me roses, and isn't afraid anymore to really let me know how he feels. It was all there the whole time, but he didn't let it all out until he felt safe to express it.

I find that so hard to

believe

How sweet

That is beautiful and really helpful to
know. Maybe men will be more appreciated for all the small things knowing you feel it too!

Nope
