You may ask, what do men know about love? Some people live their love inside, some show it outside. We ask men, “How do you know if you are in love?” we asked. After all, we realized how romantic men are…
“If I want that person to be with me every moment, if every moment I spend without him I wish he was with me, it means I am in love with him.”
Koray, 22 years old/Student
“If he is on my mind every minute, if I want to call him all the time, the signs of falling in love have begun to appear. If I can’t put two words together around him, if I make jokes that I would never normally make, it means I have a crush.”
Enes, 28 years old/Banker
“If I laugh for no reason, if I always want to see him, if even the smallest moment I spend with him makes me happy, if I want to talk to him at all times, I have already fallen in love.”
Mert, 32 years old/Textilemaker
“If I get excited when I see him, when I think of him, when I even hear his voice, I have fallen in love. When you fall in love, you don’t know what to say when you talk, the words can barely come out of your mouth.”
“It’s hard to get out.”
Gökhan, 26 years old/Architect
“I haven’t fallen in love with anyone yet, but there have been people I have liked very much. If there is a faint smile on my face, if I put my hands in each other’s shoes when I see them, it’s more than that.”
It means I like it.”
Ege, 35 years old/Civil Engineer
“I also worry about his problems. If I say it’s a problem, it’s not something serious. You make even the smallest problem a big deal. Is he bored, does he have no appetite, will he go to the dentist? I ask hundreds of questions. A relative of mine is going to have surgery tomorrow, I don’t pay attention to it; but he has a small scratch on his hand.” “It catches my attention tremendously.”
Faruk, 29 years old/Lawyer
“I want him to be with me every minute, no matter what, he should never leave my side, I want to do everything together.”
Cemil, 30 years old/Dentist
“If I have a stupid smile on my face as soon as I see him, if I feel my heart in my ears every time he looks into my eyes, I’m in love. I think it’s too much.”
I’m romantic!”
Aykut, 26 years old/National Athlete
“If I’m in love, I focus on what’s coming out of his mouth and wait with interest to see what he’s going to say. I blink my eyes more than usual when I’m talking to him.”
Murat, 28 years old/Technical Service Specialist
“If I start to feel depressed all the time, if I don’t enjoy even doing the things I love most, then I have fallen in love unrequitedly.”
Ahmet, 27 years old/Banker
“If I start to think with my emotions rather than my logic and think about the problems that every move I make will create for him, I am in love.”
Özdemir, 31 years old/Computer Engineer
*You always have that in your mind. It literally follows you like a shadow. It wanders around in your dreams while you are eating, traveling, or watching movies. ‘But I thought too much,’ he says and immediately
You jump to another topic that has nothing to do with it. But whatever it did, it came to your mind and stuck in the middle of your thoughts. I confess, I have no salvation.
I can’t do without it.”
Yunus, 25 years old/Manager
“If I’m in love, I have an extreme desire to give gifts to the other person. I try to get whatever he wants. And that big smile on his face is worth everything.”
Mehmet, 29 years old/Advertiser
“If I express my feelings deeply and openly, I understand that I am in love.”
Mert, 22 years old/Student“If I don’t hear other sounds while he is talking, if butterflies fly in my stomach every time he laughs, I have fallen in love. When I am with him, I feel free from everything. I think I am still in love with my wife as much as the first day.”
Ersin, 32 years old/Musician
“If I’m in love, that person never leaves my mind, he haunts my dreams every night. People around me notice the change in me. I laugh at ridiculous things and wander off somewhere for a long time.”
Ömür, 22 years old/Student
“You constantly have the desire to call and ask. You call several times a day, these are phone calls made for the sake of conversation, not to talk about anything worthwhile. Sometimes you can’t even find anything to say. Moreover, there is no appropriate time and hour for your calls. Even in the middle of the night.” You pick up the phone at four or five in the morning and talk.
Extremism attracts the attention of your family and those around you. You also try to find excuses. This is what falling in love is like!”
Uğur, 27 years old / Graphic Designer
“In fact, I know right away that I am in love. As they say, what do men understand about love? I understand it very well. If it comes to my mind as soon as I wake up, every time I eat or drink water.”
If I want him to be with me in my moment, I have fallen in love. Even though I started thinking about her more than myself, I must have fallen in love so badly!”
Cem, 25 years old/Manager
