10 Ways Guys Say I Love You Without Saying It

Valentine's day soon to be here, merci's team seldom talk about love issue but why not? We believe life without love is boring! Today, founder of luxury matchmaking service Anteros International, Kaltlin Kapur suggests you look out for the following signs, which show he loves you without even saying it! Let's check it out

If your partner doesn’t express his romantic side as often as you’d like him to, it doesn’t mean he’s getting bored of you. He may actually just be indulging in other ways to express his true feelings for you – but are you taking notice? If you want to know just how much your man cares, stop letting words play the important part.

  1. He Holds Your Hand – Whether it’s in a crowd, or while you’re crossing the street, this reflex action shows that he wants to protect you and reassure you.
  2. Passionate, Long-Lasting Kisses – Who doesn’t love an excellent, lengthy kiss? When he’s continuously initiating these and you can feel the passion each time he does, it is clear that he’s more than just a little excited to be around you.  
  3. Smiling After Kissing – Sure, you can have a little sweet smile after kissing someone whose company you enjoy, but do you ever just feel like positively beaming when it’s someone you love? If you catch him grinning after your kisses all the time, it’s a great sign that he truly enjoys your company.
  4. He Listens Intently – While he might not be saying much when it comes to your relationship and his feelings about it, the fact that he listens closely when you’re talking is incredibly significant. He may lean in closer when you’re discussing important topics or nod when you say something poignant, showing how much your words mean to him.
  5. Hand Squeezing – I once had a relationship with a guy who loved holding my hand but would occasionally squeeze it tightly when we were cuddling or out with friends, but hated any other kind of cutesy couple-like act. I always wondered why he was so opposed, but then I realized that every time he squeezed my hand, he was trying to say “I love you” in a quiet, simple way.
  6. Hair Ruffling – When people are nervous, they tend to run their fingers through their hair more often than normal. Does he do this when the pair of you are in close proximity to one another and it’s a romantic moment? If so, it could show that he wants to say something intimate but just can’t find the words.
  7. Calling or Texting for No Reason – Not all people do this when in love; so don’t take it personally if he doesn’t. That said, it’s a sign that he feels comfortable with you in non-romantic situations as well as the obvious ones, and that he’s thinking of you throughout the day.
  8. Frequent Laughter – Does he find you funny and can’t help but laugh when you do something silly? As odd as it sounds, the more often he laughs and finds you hilarious, the more serious the level of interest and excitement surrounding your relationship is.
  9. Spontaneous Touching – When you are in a public place, does he put his hands on your back to keep you close-by? Does he hold his hand atop yours while you are in a restaurant? Random closeness via touching shows that he wants to maintain physical contact, even when it’s not sexual.
  10. Eye Contact Often – When you’re at a bar with friends, does he glance across the room just to make eye contact briefly and smile at you? This indicates how, even when you two are doing different things, he still wants you to be aware of how much he cares.

Now you know 10 ways the guy say I love you without saying it from professional, guess is time to think about the gift for your beloved one! Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a fresh, floral bouquet.

The Philosophy of CASAMANARA
“Casamanara” is a place where the exchange of ideas coupled with an acute interest in listening to one’s needs, results in creative proposals that are individually tailored and do not merely follow some set of pre-determined parameters or stylistic dogma. In a world filled with endless choices, we strive to bring some clarity through harmony and confidence.
We consider ourselves free in the way we approach and interpret any request; the final goal is always to exceed the expectations and wishes of our Clients, by creating furniture and livable spaces which strive to remain pertinent, practical and beautiful.
The word “beautiful” encompasses the whole creative and production process, from the spark that ignited the idea, to it’s final embodiment. Beauty, not limited to just the exterior shell, but all that it represents, is finally more than the sum of its various parts.

EXPERIENCE UNPRECEDENTED, GROUNDBREAKING EXCITEMENT ON BOARD THE ALL-NEW VOYAGER OF THE SEAS®

Are you planning to somewhere this year? We believe travel must be one of your plan on your 2015 to-do-list. The legendary Voyager of the Seas® invites Hong Kong’s enthusiastic travellers to step aboard and experience innovative adventures and excitement never before experienced on a cruise holiday! In order to enthuse Hong Kong’s youthful, novelty-seeking travellers. Royal Caribbean International has spared no effort in delivering all-new activities and thrills upon this 138,000-ton favourite of the sea. Following a multimillion dollar revitalisation, the newly revamped Voyager of the Seas® will, for the first time ever, homeport in Hong Kong from 10 July 2015, celebrating its new look and home with exceptional extended travel offers.

After gaining fans around the world through its iconic on-board experiences, including a rock climbing wall, ice skating rink, mini-golf course, and basketball court, Voyager of the Seas® will now set sail from Hong Kong with groundbreaking new excitement offerings to share, including the FlowRider® surf simulator, outdoor movie screen, and new specialty dining attractions.

The thrilling FlowRider® experience rolls out real waves, inviting guests to try out the ocean’s favourite pastime of surfing. Tutorials are available to help keen wave-riders become the ultimate deck surfer! Guests can also wind down within one of the four spectacular pools, or stretch out for a spot of relaxed sunbathing. Film buffs can enjoy movies under the stars on the 220-square-foot outdoor poolside movie screen. Those seeking an alternative to aquatic excitement are welcomed to challenge themselves to climb the popular RockWall®. From the beginners’ level to speedy climbing, every rock climber who reaches the top is rewarded with spectacular panoramic views 40 feet above deck. Ball game lovers can spend a pleasant afternoon navigating the 9-hole mini-golf course, or engage in an intensive 3-on-3 match on the basketball court. Serious gamers can even thrill themselves with an International Basketball Federation – standard 5-on-5 formal match! Guests who fantasise about skating upon the seas can let loose upon an ice rink maintained at -14oC thanks to a state-of-the-art on-board cooling system. While the surface is suitably chilly, the indoor air temperature is kept at around 18-20oC, guaranteeing a fun and comfortable afternoon with the family. Or, gear up and let the good times roll at the inline skating track, located on deck with the warm sun and ocean breeze as companions. 

For health-conscious passengers, Voyager of the Seas® is also equipped with a jogging trail, fitness centre, and other gymnastics equipment for guests to explore, as well as yoga and Pilates classes. Almost all entertainment and dining experiences are courtesy of the all-inclusive fare system offered aboard Voyager of the Seas®. Comprehensive entertainment includes the figure-skating show Ice Odyssey, Broadway-style dance spectacles, and full-scale stage musicals. Children aged from 6 months to 17 years are invited to join the many Adventure Ocean® youth programs, and to visit the spectacular parade of famous DreamWorks characters on show at the Royal Promenade.

Royal Caribbean International is delighted to reveal that the two incredible ‘WOW’ offers originally scheduled until 30 November 2014 are now extended to 31 December 2014. Guests who book all-inclusive cruise getaways from now until the end of the year may choose to enjoy a free upgrade to a spectacular ‘Balcony Stateroom’ with each ‘Ocean View Stateroom’ booking, or select the option to invite up to two additional guests to join the cruise for free with every two adults paying full price and sharing the same room.
