What is involved in any relationship is very difficult to understand. It is even more complex when it is between a man and a woman in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.

When you start realizing that you are falling in love with a guy and seriously need him to reciprocate or get the scope then ask yourself if he ‘does really love you’. But think very well. You might be in doubt or not sure until he utters those three magic words – I LOVE YOU. All you can do is to pick up signs and signals from his behaviour and think about his feelings for you.

There are some clues which can give you very fair and clear indications about the answer to the question. In more explanatory term, when your guy wants to spend all the time he has with you, it is a very clear indication that he has very strong feelings about you. Know that when men are in love they cannot or will never get enough of their girlfriend. They will always try to spend each moment with her.

It is not surprising that they would reschedule their whole plan just to accommodate few moments spent with their girlfriend. Therefore, when your man or boyfriend displays such an action there should be no room for questions like ‘does he really love me’ in your mind. All you need to do is to reciprocate and cooperate with him to the fullest.

Another thing you should know as a woman is that when your boyfriend starts discussing long term plans with you, it is an obvious indication that he is thinking of spending his future with you. Men only think about the present and how to make the best use of it in a relationship when they are in one for the short term. It is a common desire among all men to hold on to the woman they love for the rest of their life.

So it should not be a surprise if a man brings up issues about the future that involves two of you. I will like my readers to understand one thing, that men have a habit of letting a call go by if they are with their not very close friends or busy at  work. But if your boyfriend picks up all your calls without regards to what he is doing, the question, ‘does your guy really love you?’ should not arise.

It is a clear indication of his love, as men always want to hear the voice of the woman they are in love with. The fact that he picks up each and every call of yours even when he knows you have called just to say hi and he is busy shows your courtesy call is more important to him than his important work. And if he doesn’t want to hang up the phone once you have called then the question ‘does your guy really love you?’ should be put to rest.

I don’t know what I have done to my boyfriend. He has just broken my heart. I am a young gal. I am crying like a baby because I love him like my dad and mum. What do you have to tell me that will heal my broken heart?

Angelique
I will like you to take heart. ‘Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, and unquenchable.’ So wait for the real guy who will cherish, love and respect you. Good luck!
Lost love

We started our love at a tender age when we were still at the primary school. After we finished primary school and proceeded to various high schools, I did not see her anymore. Neither do I hear from her because she does not have a phone number.

Kerr
Well I do not have a straight answer to your text because your message seems to be incomplete. Next time you send a text make it comprehensive and detailed enough. However you can resend it or call Lovelines for more information. Good luck!

I really don’t know the way out of my problem. It has been a while now that I have been trying everything I know to evade my brother’s wife’s feelings for me. I am staying with her and their two kids. My brother is in Europe. My brother’s wife always waits till I come back from work before she eats, that is we eat together, which she never did before. She’s always close to me and angry each time I go out.

She walks round my room half naked and sometimes lies on my bed. I warned her about this but she refused to behave. I am confused because her attitude is getting worst every day.

Sarjo
Buddy, you have to be very careful about the way you go about this. Remember the story of Prophet Yusuf in the Holy Quran, which is Joseph in the Holy Bible. What I expect you to do is to have control of yourself. Try as much as possible to make sure that each time you are in your room, you lock your door. Try to distance yourself from her by avoiding close contact between the two of you.

Each time she talks to you in a seductive manner always bring up your brother. Do not be arrogant with her. If you have a girlfriend always try to talk about her in her presence as well. Better still, invite your girlfriend to the house more often. Remember, ‘do not argue with a spouse who is packing your parachute.’ Call Lovelines for more information hence it is not all clothes you put on lines. Good luck!

I was unable to call my girlfriend for a period of one month because of my financial position. It was a surprise to me that when I did have credit on my phone to call her, she answered as if something was wrong between us. Each time I asked if she wass all right, she would answer: “Yes I am just tired of talking to you.”

Jarju
Does it mean that if you do not have credit on your phone, you cannot pay her a visit, if you really love her? Before the advent of GSM, people had ways of reaching their loved ones. So your not having credit on the phone is not an excuse unless you are not staying in the same town. That is if one of you is staying outside Kombo, Banjul or Brikama.

Also if your babe is acting indifferent because of this 1-month communication break, she is no more interested in the relationship. Could she not also call to find out about you? Anyone can make the call. Call making is not limited to a man alone. So I think you have to wake up and walk straight. Good luck!

How do I know that a guy is serious when he talks about marriage?  There is a guy who said he wants to marry me but I don’t know how serious he is.

Vivian
Read the above ‘does your guy really love you?’ Then think about the two and make your conclusion. Good luck!


Lovelines
I was managing with my husband when things were not that much better. Then he was very faithful and kind and now, with two kids, we thank God that financially, we are fine. However, he has started to stay out late and hangs around with some girlfriends. He always denies this initially but he ends up apologizing.

Jaliyah
My advice is that you really look into this situation. Are those really his girlfriends? Try to sit him down for a serious heart-to-heart talk. Let him know that his actions are destabilising your marriage. Try to appeal to his love for the children. Also try to see if you can get some third party to intervene.
 Good luck!

I am a Christian in love with a Muslim girl. I really love this girl. But she said I have to convert to Islam, a condition I did not agree to. Now she has shunned me, I don’t know what to do.

Abraham
You know what to do but indecision is your problem. Two things can be done here. That is you either dance to her tune and convert to Islam or you stick to your religion and forget the relationship. So you have a choice. Therefore talk to her and discuss with her. However, it is better for each of you to walk away if there is no one who wishes to convert. Avoid future love ripples and decide once and for all. Good luck!
Chastity

Lovelines
He asked me to have time out with him knowing that I am a virgin.  He invited me to visit him but said “If you come you will have time with me.”  So I told him that I cannot do that.  I am confused.

Baby-Sowe
You know what is good for you. I would like you to be yourself.  Do not allow anybody to force you do what you do not wish to do. Really, we always talk about love and someone who will love us when it comes to relationship. But the bottom line should be to understand and respect each other. Partners should respect each other’s feelings. Love is unconditional not conditional. If he continues to make this demand when you are still not ready for it, keep away from him.

Good luck!

You are the root of my heart. I love your figure and the colour of your eyes and skin. I love the looks of your nose. Oh, I don’t even know how to express my feelings for you. You have beautiful and perfect lips. I love your from the bottom of my heart, you are my African Prince!
Hawah Sillah

Jallow, S I
You are such an important part of me, a precious part of my life. Yet it is hard to convey the depth of my love to you. It is difficult to express the changes you have made in my life and the meaning you have added to my life. Word cannot do justice to my emotions when I want and need you. I love you with every breath of my being. I love you beyond words and actions. My mind and body, even my senses, are full of you. You are as important to my life as the very beat of my heart.

Love has no desire but to fulfil itself. But if you love and you must have desires, let this be your desires: to meet and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. That is to know the pain of too much tenderness. Baby, it is to be wounded by your own understanding of love; and to bleed willingly and joyfully. I think this is the love we need.
Steve

Honey
You are friendly, kind and caring, sensitive, loyal and understanding, fun, secure, and truly always there. You are special, accepting, exciting and wise, truthful and helpful with honest eyes, confident, forgiving, cheerful and bright, yes that’s you. You are one of a kind, different from others I have met. You are generous, charming, thoughtful. I really appreciate the real love you have for me.
Baby Awa

YBS
I know you will see this. Here is a ‘court order’ for you. You are arrested for the following love offences: trespassing in my dreams, raping my emotions, stealing my heart, hijacking my feelings and causing me headaches when I am thinking of you. How do you plead? Guilty or not, I sentenced you to be the love of my life without any option. Guilty or not you have the right to remain sweet, kind and loving because anything you say shall be used for engagement in the court of love. This is from the Supreme Court of Love. I admire you, my love.
