When a man truly falls for a girl, he can’t contain his excitement. He will always find a way to bring up the girl or anything related to her in any situation. It’s like being a fan of a celebrity, wanting everything to be connected to her because she holds a special place in his heart. Guys are the same way.
So, if a guy never mentions you in front of his friends or they have no idea who you are, then it’s probably not happening. Wanting to be close to someone is driven by genuine feelings from the heart, sometimes even overpowering the brain.
If he really wants to get to know you, that says it all. Many people, even knowing there’s little hope, will still go all out to pursue and confess their feelings because of a strong desire to understand the other person.
The ways of pursuing someone are diverse—from secretly observing you to always finding opportunities to chat with you, sharing their daily life, and eagerly trying to understand you while hoping you’ll understand them.
When guys are immature, the most inexplicable behavior might be teasing as a way to express affection towards you.
This “teasing the one you like” approach seems to be a common trait among straight guys, starting from childhood—pulling girls’ hair in kindergarten or hiding their bags.
Even as they grow up, the tactic remains the same—deliberately contradicting girls, teasing them over small things just to get their attention.
Sometimes, straight guys can be quite silly. But if you observe their underlying intentions carefully, you’ll realize this “teasing” is actually quite clumsy and somewhat fragile. The moment you show a hint of displeasure or indifference, they immediately soften.
In Sarah’s home, her husband, who appears serious outside like a high-ranking official, transforms into a mischievous imp when at home. Once, as Sarah was embroidering with her head down, she suddenly felt a gust of wind above her head followed by a light tap, startling her almost causing her to drop the needle. When she turned around looking annoyed, he chuckled and pinched her ear, rubbing her face. Every time Sarah pouts, he becomes even more delighted.
When Sarah vents about these incidents to her girlfriends, they are half skeptical, finding it hard to link the man who always wears a stern face with these childish behaviors. But Sarah knows deep down that this is his unique way of expressing love.
After seven years of being together, their intimate bickering remains a part of their daily life. No matter the minor conflicts, whenever Sarah is upset, he is always the first to soften, using various methods to make her smile. Sarah believes that this tolerance and understanding are her greatest happiness.
Since getting married, Sarah hasn’t worked outside, taking care of their home full-time. Her husband completely trusts her with managing the household finances—as long as she’s happy, she can spend however she likes. Once, Sarah wanted a major makeover for the living room, despite the significant cost, he immediately agreed and even went with her to select materials, discussing the design.
Their life has also faced challenges. For instance, one time, Sarah got upset over a minor issue and stormed out of the house. When she returned, the living room was filled with lilies, with a card in the middle saying, “No matter what happens, I’ll be here waiting for you.” Tears welled up in Sarah’s eyes, and they embraced tightly, all the unhappiness vanishing in that moment.
Some envy Sarah, believing their state is probably the best in a marriage.
Sarah says, “As long as both people appreciate each other’s good qualities, a marriage can thrive. Although he doesn’t restrict my spending, apart from skincare products and salon expenses, I don’t indulge in luxury items like clothes, bags, or shoes; I also enjoy cooking, and we mostly eat at home where I prepare dishes he likes.”
She adds, “We also have disagreements in our home. My mother-in-law has a bit of a temper, and my husband is very filial. It’s tough for him when we argue, and I try my best not to confront his mom. If I feel wronged, I’ll tell him, and he compensates in other ways, like taking me to a Mayday concert, even though he’s not a fan.”
This is the life of Sarah and her husband—ordinary yet filled with love. In their busy lives, they interpret their sweet and warm moments in their unique way.
