You catch him staring at your eyes.

The eyes are more than just windows to a man's soul, they can also tell what's in his
heart. Men always stare at the ________ they desire — it's the reason you catch
your man peeping at other women. So consider: With all that eye candy out there,
if it's you he's staring at, his affection runs ________. There are two types of I-love-
you looks. There's the ________ stare (you'll have to catch him in the act).
"Watching my girlfriend at a party ________ me a private moment when I can pinch
myself and wonder how I _______ this amazing person in my life — a perspective I
can't get when she's right there in front of me," says Patrick, 30. Then there's the
steady gaze. Guys are guarded when it comes to showing ________. If they lock
eyes and it’s an open stare, they're lowering their shield to let you in. "I'd never hold
that sort of eye contact with anyone else, but an intense ________ with my
girlfriend reflects how comforted and captivated I am by her," says Chip, 29.

He stocks his kitchen with stuff you like.
Discovering that his kitchen is loaded/staffed/full with feminine edibles (that would
only pass his lips at gunpoint) shows you're on his mind in the most unexpected,
unromantic places -- like on a solo shopping cart/trip/centre. "One day I checked out
my shopping cart and saw all the bags of baby carrots and bottle of diet soda meant
for my girlfriend," says Patrick. "It struck me that it had become/have
become/would become second nature for me to consider what would make her
happy, and that's when I knew I was in love." Thus/Furthermore/Yet, stocking up
means he's gone public with you. You see, men like to maintain at least the image of
being free for as long as possible. So leaving
unexpected/unnecessary/unmistakeable evidence in our home that there's a woman
present in our life is a bright red flag that you're The One.

He talks about where he wants to live in three years.

Telling you he plans to move out West one day could/would/may seem like a neon
warning not to get any long-term ideas because your man's getting ready to leave
you. However, it might also be his way of letting you know that he wants you in his
future. "Every time I tell my girlfriend where I see 'me' down the road, I'm really
trying to ask whether she sees herself there with me," says Jon, 26. Of course, if he
tells you he wants to move to Tahiti, be a beach bum, and chase the local girls, no
chance. If he mentions that he sees himself eventually settling in San Francisco, then
obviously/never/immediately asks if you could ever see yourself living there, he's
declaring his desire for a serious long-term relationship.
