A man in a serious relationship is looking to love, adore and constantly bring a smile to his darling's face. His adoration drives him to establish a sense of security, love and fulfillment in his relationship.

When a man is completely in love he will perform certain gestures to remind his sweetheart there is nothing he wouldn't do for her.

Below are 17 gestures a man in love would perform:

1. He's your shoulder to cry on

A man in love can provide comfort unmatched by anyone else to the woman he is committed to. In times of physical and emotional distress he is your rock and confidant. There is nothing he wouldn't do or give to be the one person you rely on in times of need.

2. Holds you close

It doesn't matter what you are doing or where you are going all he wants to do is hold you close. Things do not feel right when you are not around each other. He loves to hug you and wrap his arms around you every chance he gets.

3. Whispers in your ear

Nothing makes you feel more special or adored than a hug from your love followed by a sweet compliment whispered in your ear. A kind word only shared between the two of you expresses more than just a compliment but a lot about his consideration.

4. Your pain becomes his pain

Your happiness means everything to him, so when you are facing pain and trials they quickly become his pain. A man in love will spend hours trying to figure out solutions to your problems.

5. He reminds you of things you'll likely forget

When important events and tasks need to get done, he is the first to remind you. He takes the time to remember the important aspects of your life and provides mental support in times of need.

6. He makes your needs a priority

If you are cold, he is wrapping his jacket around your shoulders immediately. If you love a certain song playing on the radio, he is turning it up immediately. If you do not like a certain restaurant, he immediately takes note to never take you there. He listens to the things that make you happy and the things that make you sad and establishes your needs as his priority.

7. He leaves sweet notes everywhere

A kind reminder that he loves you is proven through small notes left around your house, in your car, sweet text messages sent in the middle of the day, and long romantic voicemails left at night. He never ceases to let you know of his love.

8. He does the dishes

He is not afraid to get his hands dirty and help clean up. He is willing to put in the dirty work to win your intoxicating love.

9. He lets you listen to your favorite music

Despite hating your taste in music, he allows you to roll down the windows and blast your favorite songs all in good nature. His love for you is larger than a three-minute pop song.

10. His plans always include you

When a man in love makes plans, his friends and family can always assume he will be attending as a party of two. There is never a plan made that does not include you. His future and his plans always involve the woman he loves.

11. He kisses you on the forehead

It's the simple things that make your heart race; he knows that.

12. In a crowded room he constantly catches your eye

Despite being in a crowded setting, he is constantly trying to grab your attention. He may drop a subtle wink to let you know he is thinking about you, or he may offer a wave to let you know he wants you closer. Even in a sea of people his eyes will always search for you.

13. He compliments you everyday

Never a day goes by that he doesn't remind you how beautiful and smart you are. He takes the time to genuinely compliment you each and every day.

14. He uplifts you everyday

A man in love looks for ways to accentuate and compliment his love's physical accomplishments but her inspiring character as well. He takes the time to recognize her gifts and vocalizes all the strong and unique qualities that make her highly attractive.

15. He prays for you

A man in love will take the time to offer a sweet and heartfelt prayer to God asking for her protection and happiness. His faith in God will help guide him to protect and love you.

16. He remembers the small things

He knows you like three packets of sugar in your tea; he goes on afternoon walks just to hear about the best part of your day and remembers daisies are your favorite flowers when picking you a bouquet. He watches you and takes note on the small things that bring you the most joy and often tries to incorporate those small things into your daily life together.

17. He holds your hand

Whether you are driving in the car, shopping or going for a leisure walk, he constantly reaches over to grab your hand. Beyond what outside eyes can see, he caresses your fingers and creates an unspoken bond between the two of you.
