The expressions of love shown in TV shows, movies, or on social media are not always real-world accurate.
In fact, they are often exaggerated, idealized, and even unhealthy.
Despite this, many people judge their relationships through these lenses and end up frustrated and disappointed.
So, how do you know someone truly cares about you?
And more to the point, how can you tell if an introvert is love with you?
Because it’s important to note that introverts show their love slightly differently to others.
They approach romance seriously and thoughtfully, often opting to focus on just one potential partner and prioritizing safety and security.
So, let’s cut to the chase! Here are 10 signs an introvert is deeply in love with you.
1) They take things slow
The first sign an introvert adores you is that they won’t be in a hurry to escalate your relationship.
They would rather take the time to slowly relish every stage of your journey together.
From the mystery as you begin to open up to each other, the butterflies you feel when you see each other, the wonderful ease you feel in each other’s presence- introverts will savour every moment.
This will suit some people and frustrate others but remember that their preference to take things slowly is not a sign that they’re not sure about you.
It is, in fact, a sign that they are madly in love and are in it for the long-haul.
2) They let you into their world
Introverts cherish their serenity more than anything.
Their inner world is their prized possession, a peaceful and private oasis where they can think and feel and just be.
So, when they invite you into their personal space and share their space with you, you can be sure they are deeply in love.
They’ve welcomed you into their inner sanctum and made themselves more vulnerable as a result.
This is a massive deal for them and only done if they are seriously into you!
3) They are willing to enter your world (cautiously)
And just as they let you into their weird little world, they will also be emboldened to enter yours!
Deep love will inspire the introvert to step out of their comfort zone; it’s about the only thing that will!
Their willingness to leave their safe place to enter your world demonstrates their fascination with you.
And whereas some people will do this easily in the early stages of a relationship, this is not the case for the introvert unless they compelled to by strong feelings.
It’s a big deal for them so don’t take it for granted.
4) They become even more attentive
Introverts are generally great listeners and empathisers and give whoever they are speaking with their full attention.
But when they are speaking to someone they are in love with, these skills will really magnify.
You will notice they listen to you even more attentively and intensively than anyone else, taking in every aspect of what you’re communicating.
They will also ask profound questions that draw you into deeper and deeper conversation.
This is because they are enchanted by you and want to know as much as they can about how you feel, think, and see the world.
5) They become more expressive
And similarly, you will notice a difference in their communication…
Plato said, “At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.”
And this is incredibly true of introverts!
The stronger their feelings get, the more expressive they will become.
But don’t expect excessive, flowery declarations of love… Expect that they will initiate deeper and more profound conversations that bear out both of your souls.
Because when an introvert is in love, it won’t be a shallow type of love, but an all-consuming one.
6) They willingly to broaden their perspectives
Introverts can be creatures of habit that revel in their own routines and rarely step out of them to suit others.
But this will change when they’re in love. (A little anyway)
You will notice them make a big effort to understand your interests.
You may find they are willing to do more things they wouldn’t normally do before purely because these things are of interest you.
And this is a big deal because introverts are notorious for dedicating themselves to a one or several passions and sticking to them.
They’re not usually the type to spread themselves thin and do lots of things.
But an introvert in love will decide to get involved in your passion and broaden their perspective. They will do this to get closer to you.
7) They will go through hell for your sake
Taking broadening perspectives to another level…
An introvert in love with you will fight their urge to withdraw and endure all sorts of discomfort for your benefit.
Whether this means accompanying you to a wedding, a work function, or any kind of family gathering you can think of, they will grit their teeth and bear it to support you and make you happy.
And while this may not be a big thing for many people, it is huge for an introvert.
Their willingness to expose themselves to crowds of people they don’t know, engage in unending small talk, and exchange niceties for your sake really demonstrates the depths of their attachment to you.
And from acting different to acting more like themselves…
8) They show you the real them
If an introvert shows you every aspect of them, they must be head over heels in love with you!
Generally, they have a tiny circle of ride-or-die friends, and they are the only ones they allow to see the real them.
So, if they open up to you in a way that they don’t with others (and you’ll know it when you experience it), take it as a strong sign of their affection.
Revealing themselves is a big deal for them because they value their privacy massively.
Showing you their authentic self is about the most intimate it gets with one of these types of people.
9) They give everything extra significance
Introverts are deep thinkers and feelers at the best of times.
But when they are in love, these feelings and thoughts become magnified.
They become even more considerate, remembering the smallest details of comments you’ve made or memories you share with them.
Then, they will make thoughtful gestures and show their love rather than tell you how they feel with words.
Everything will be layered with meaning and purpose.
10) They give you total devotion
If an introvert falls in love with you, it will be obvious that you are their priority.
You will experience another intensity of devotion and loyalty.
These people do not do things by halves, and this certainly applies to have they love.
Your relationship will be foundational to their core, and they will do everything to make it work.
Introverts don’t do love by halves
When an introvert falls for someone, they tend to fall all the way.
They will treat your relationship respectfully and thoughtfully, slowly introducing you to their world and entering yours.
They will be happy to sacrifice some of their solitude for you, as well as depart their comfort zone for your sake too.
It’ll be an intense and memorable experience!
