What Are His Intentions? 9 Soulmate Signs You Should Look For In A Man

Do you feel confused about what your man wants and what his intentions are? Want to ask him where things are going, but don’t know how without scaring him away? Getting mixed messages and want some clarity? You can drive yourself nuts trying to interpret a man’s behavior while looking for soulmate signs that he’s the one.

Instead of parsing through his behavior and looking for clues about his intentions, pay attention to the most obvious ones. A man who wants to be in a relationship with you won’t be subtle about it, and he won’t hide his intentions.

If you feel a strong connection with the guy you’ve recently connected with and are curious about his intentions, look for these signs that he’s interested in a relationship and has the potential to be your soulmate.

What Are His Intentions? How To Interpret What He Wants

  1. His Actions Are Congruent With His Words

A man who professes his love for you over the phone and via email, and yet doesn’t make the effort to see you IRL is sending you a clear message. If his words and his actions don’t match, then he’s not serious about you and clearly is not your soulmate. It doesn’t matter how strong of a connection you feel with him.

If you have to ask him about his intentions, then they’re not clear to him either. You deserve someone who’s clear about how he feels about you, so you don’t need to go looking for soulmate signs. There’s no mystery that you need to unravel to understand his intentions. Just don’t justify his behavior and wish for more than he’s willing to give.

Your soulmate will be congruent with his words and his actions. He’ll make his intentions clear every step of the way. If you’re wondering, “What are his intentions?” because his actions don’t match his words, then it’s clear that he’s not your soulmate.

  1. He Will Pursue You For A Relationship

Is he pursuing you for a relationship? Is he asking you out and moving the relationship forward? Your soulmate won’t be a mystery. He’ll make future plans with you. He’ll include you in his day-to-day life.

A man who intends to have a relationship with you wants to take you off the market and claim you. He won’t be wishy-washy. If his intentions are a mystery, then he isn’t available for a relationship. He could be lonely and desire a convenient friends-with-benefits situationship. If he isn’t pursuing you, then he’s looking for companionship, something convenient, and not a serious relationship.

  1. He Will Follow Through

If your guy is talking a big game but isn’t following through, he’s sending you a signal that he’s not serious about you. Words are cheap. A clear sign a man is your soulmate is that he makes his intentions clear, and always follows through on his promises. He may even go above and beyond to make it up to you if he messes things up due to miscommunication.

A soulmate relationship is not casual, it’s a commitment to share your lives together and work through issues that may arise, growing together rather than apart.

  1. You Won’t Know His Intentions Until You Meet In Person

Don’t make the mistake of falling for an online profile, a voice on the phone, or a man who professes his love in a text. Until you actually meet in person there’s so much you don’t know about a man.

  • You don’t know if you’re attracted to him.
  • You don’t know if he’s available for a relationship.
  • You don’t know if he is who he says he is.

Until you meet LIVE and in-person with a man you know ZERO about him. Be careful making emotional commitments to men you haven’t met live and in person. Don’t create hope before you know that someone is who they say they are.

You can’t be catfished or scammed if you don’t commit your heart to someone you’ve never met. Be wary of guys who profess love after looking over your profile or after a couple of phone conversations.

Once you’re clear on his intentions and he’s proven himself to be a serious contender for your heart you can start looking for the signs that he might be your soulmate.

9 Soulmate Signs You Should Look For In A Man

  1. It Is Easy To Be Authentic With Each Other

One of the soulmate signs that shows up right away is that the two of you are authentic with each other from the start. You don’t hold back or keep your heart closed. You’re able to speak how you feel and ask for what you want.

Your soulmate won’t be offended or put off. He’ll be glad to step up for you and do things that make you happy. Being authentic means you’re not holding back or twisting into a pretzel trying to win his love, approval or acceptance.

One clear sign a man is your soulmate is you’re not walking on eggshells trying to figure out what to say or how to behave; you’re simply relaxed and enjoy spending time with him.

  1. You Share The Really Important Things

You may not like the same kind of movies or music as your soulmate. The two of you may have very different hobbies. But you both know that these are not what’s really important.

Another soulmate sign is that the two of you are on the same page with what’s really important. You both value the same things in life. You may have different strategies for achieving your goals, but you’ll share similar goals and support each other in achieving them.

  1. You Can’t Say Or Do The Wrong Thing With The Right Person

Many people feel like they missed out on their soulmate because they screwed things up. They said the wrong thing, or they made a mistake, and their partner couldn’t forgive them. By definition, this wasn’t a soulmate relationship.

A soulmate sign that you’ve found your person is that the two of you manage to figure it out when there are bumps in the road. You’re both willing to work through conflict together. You both understand and practice leaning into your conflicts to open a doorway to a deeper connection.

  1. You Challenge Each Other To Grow

A soulmate relationship is one where the two of you see the potential in each other and challenge each other to be better people. Your soulmate sees you in your best light and wants you to be the best version of yourself. Your soulmate will inspire you to step into that vision.

You both have the intention to be the best version of yourself for each other as well. A soulmate sign that you’re both in it for the long haul? You both work to become better.

  1. A Soulmate Relationship Can Help Heal Your Wounds

No one travels through life without ever experiencing pain, heartbreak, or disappointment. You may even have developed some bad relationship habits along the way. Your soulmate will love you anyway.

Soulmate love is unconditional. You’ll be loved for all the parts of you – the good, the bad, and the ugly. This is a very healing experience and not for the faint of heart. Skill is required to keep the door of intimacy open despite making mistakes, getting triggered, and navigating conflict.

Healing wounds together and learning to love yourself more deeply are soulmate signs that you can look forward to with your beloved.

  1. You Respect And Value Your Differences

A relationship with someone who is just like you would be boring and lack chemistry. It’s the differences that make two people come together and last as a couple. An introvert ends up with an extrovert. Someone logical and reserved connects with an emotionally expressive partner. One of you is a saver, the other a spender. The magic of differences means that in a soulmate relationship you defer to each other’s strengths.

A powerful soulmate sign is that you respect and value the differences between you instead of getting stuck in a power struggle. In a soulmate relationship, you can let your partner take care of the things that you aren’t good at, and you can be appreciated for your areas of expertise.

  1. You Work To Repair And Make Amends

Just because you’re with your soulmate doesn’t mean that you won’t experience disappointment. Life is full of challenges and part of a happy balanced life is having someone to navigate those challenges with you.

This doesn’t mean that your soulmate won’t occasionally let you down or disappoint you. Your soulmate is a flawed human just like you are. The difference is your soulmate will do what’s necessary to repair the relationship and make amends when they mess up.

  1. You Connect On Many Levels

Maybe you laugh with each other in bed every night before going to sleep. Or you both have a deep love of the outdoors. Whatever it is that connects the two of you will be more than just a superficial common interest.

If you want a soulmate sign that you can’t ignore, notice how many different ways you connect with your partner. Whether the two of you can talk for hours or just sit comfortably in a room without speaking, you are on the same page about life.

  1. You Both Choose Love

Your soulmate will want you to be happy and to feel loved. You’ll want your partner to know that you’re on his side and that you have each other’s backs. Whether you’re taking into account that your partner is having a bad day or your partner is encouraging you to have that uncomfortable conversation with a friend, the two of you are consciously choosing to be loving with each other.

This is the most important soulmate sign. If your partner doesn’t want you to know how much you’re loved or want to share in your happiness, then it’s probably not a good match. Loving someone means doing your best to reduce their stress level, not add to it.

Instead of looking for clues or subtle soulmate signs, focus on dating a lot of different kinds of men and don’t rush into exclusivity. Before making a commitment of any kind be sure the man is emotionally available and takes actions that clearly let you know he wants to claim you for a relationship.
