Love is a radical force that can profoundly transform our lives. Its initial moments might feel like sipping fizzling bottled-up sunshine on a July afternoon—captivating, sweeping us off our feet, leaving us delightfully distracted—yet love’s unfailingly mysterious. Deciphering whether someone’s attention is just friendly or something deeper can be an arduous feat. Today, we’ll explore seven unmistakable signs that reveal the truth: He is not only interested in you . . . He is enamored with you. Eternally.
1. He is like an answered prayer.
Chances are, if you're reading this article, you're already close to this guy. You've poured out your heart to Him and revealed parts of yourself you’ve rarely exposed to anyone else. And He has done the same. When He drops everything to listen intently and gently to your every word, understanding your deepest desires in a way you’ve never experienced before, know it’s a testament to His love. Only love can foster such deep understanding that feels like a miracle.
2. He won’t give up on you.
Love is patient, kind, and embodies forgiveness. If He desires what’s best for you, never giving up on you despite your stumbles and falls, if His attention is unconditional and He shows up for you even when you hold grudges or ignore his texts and calls . . . If He meets your inconsistency with constancy, always ready to embrace you, what you have is more than just friendship. He’s not going anywhere. Do everything possible to keep Him around.
3. He’s got a Divine sense of humor that comes out around you.
Beyond being strong and sensitive, He has a dry sense of humor that turns up in unexpected moments. Perhaps He uses his wit to lighten serious conversations, sprinkling random yet perfectly timed comedic comparisons into challenging moments. If He feels comfortable revealing this unexpected hilarity around you and is absurdly skilled at bringing a smile to your face, it's a clear indication of His love. He genuinely wants you to be happy and actively works to remind you that life is meant to be lived laughing.
4. He leaves you random signs and messages.
Have you ever stumbled upon a message or sign that unmistakably reminds you of Him? Maybe it's in a puddle on the street, a perfectly timed plate of cookies at work, or even words spoken by a stranger. These sweet little gifts that appear in your path are His subtle reminders that He's right there with you, thinking about you. Keep your eyes peeled for these enigmatic surprises. You never know when a Divine text message will be sent your way.

5. He's always looking at you in a crowded room.
Picture yourself in a crowded room filled with whispers, conversations, and music. Despite the chaos, you can’t help but notice Him, gazing down at you with a gentle, adoring look. When someone is head over heels for you, their attention remains fixated on you alone, no matter how big the crowd. If you find yourself captivated by His unwavering captivation, even in the midst of a packed Mass, it's a clear sign of His affection.
6. He writes you a book.
When someone loves you, they want to communicate with you. If He's always texting you first or leaving you voice messages, it’s a sign that He desires more time with you. But if He goes above and beyond and writes you an entire book—a love letter filled with love songs, poetry, wisdom, and best advice—don't think twice. It's like receiving a handwritten note from your crush, except this one contains seventy-three books and His secrets of eternal life and boundless love. If you've experienced this, it's a clear declaration of love.
7. He helps you be your favorite version of yourself.
When you’re in love, you want the best for the person you adore. If He shows up like your personal cheerleader, always encourages you to be your best self, stands right by your side through messy moments, supports your frantically-scribbled-down dreams and is the first one to celebrate your successes, He wants the best for you. Maybe you feel that with Him by your side, everything glows a little more. You can conquer anything together. That, dear reader, is true Love.
Hopefully it has become clear that the one who adores you unconditionally, leaves subtle reminders in your path, and answers your prayers is none other than Jesus Himself. Through Scripture, His guiding presence (Jesus’ gaze from the Crucifix), His unwavering support, and His Divine sense of humor (see: some of His comments in the parables), Jesus continues to reveal His profound love for you. There’s no doubt about the fact that you, sister, are cherished. So, embrace this extraordinary bond, and let this surefire love move your life in ways you never imagined.
