Better yet, he’s kissing and holding your hand while out in public-the ultimate PDA. It’s Love: He’s kissing you just for the sake of kissing you even knowing the makeout session won’t lead to sex. “There’s no brainpower left for men at this point to do things for any reason other than pleasure,” he admits. When things are getting hot and heavy, guys just do what feels good, says Ethridge. It’s Just Sex: Sure, passionate kisses during sex are great, but if that’s the ONLY time he’s doing it, check your relationship status. Bonus points if he makes a positive remark on your character, like “I love how you help your friends out when they’re down in the dumps.” If he can’t stop kissing you… So instead of raving about how good you look naked, or how pretty you are in that new mascara, he compliments you on the brilliant article you wrote or the dinner you made, Kenya says. It’s Love: Whether inside or outside of the bedroom, if he’s complimenting you on things other than your body, that’s a good sign. Likewise, if he just talks about your physical appearance and not your personality traits, that’s a red flag. “He’s often asking because when he knows he is making you feel good, it also boosts his ego and reassures him that he’s a good lover,” Kenya says. But not so fast-he’s talking about your body, not you. It’s Just Sex: In the midst of your bedroom aerobics, he starts rattling off compliments like “I love your body” or “You feel so good!” which could make it seem like he’s concerned about your pleasure. “If he is comfortable after the deed is done and doesn’t want to jump out of the bed right away, he’s likely got feelings for you,” Ethridge says. Guys will be into snuggling with someone they’re into. It’s Love: Instead of calculating how often he goes down on you, pay attention to his willingness to cuddle. “Getting someone all hot and bothered is a total turn-on! Plus, an intelligent guy knows that the hotter you get, the likelihood of sex increases.” And beware-if he’s spending the night, it could just mean he’s hoping for morning sex, too. It’s Just Sex: He may be enthusiastic about going down on you, but don’t think it’s a selfless act, dating coach Hunt Ethridge says. If he’s enthusiastic about your own pleasure…

Translation? You’re in his thoughts even when you’re not in his sheets. “Unlike last-minute ‘Netflix-and-chill’ texts, planning ahead shows he’s making you a priority,” says Kenya. It’s Love: If he’s asking you to go to a museum, a concert, or even an impromptu weekend away, that shows a deeper interest. MORE: This Is the Best Thing You Can Do for Your Sex Life This Weekend

Sonjia Kenya, a certified sexologist and author of Sex in South Beach. “He’s always trying to see you, but never makes plans to do anything outside the bedroom, because he only wants to see you in the bedroom,” says Dr. It’s Just Sex: Does he say he wants you all the time and he’s constantly blowing up your phone? Hate to break it to you, but you’re his hotline bling. So how do you separate the two? We talked to two relationship experts to help you discern if your current hookup is in it for the chemistry, or for keeps. At the beginning of most relationships, we’re kinda on cruise control and not trying to worry about too much-but after a couple of months we cross that threshold and start to wonder, “is this it, or is it just sex?” It’s all too easy to delude yourself into thinking a mind-blowing physical relationship equals a romance for the ages, but it’s also natural to want to look for signs that your partner wants more than sex.
