If you see the same thing, of course!

#9 You are a priority in his life. This point doesn’t necessarily mean that you are the number one priority, because we all have full lives to lead, with family problems, friends, and everything else.

#12 When you’re not around, he misses your presence. Of course, it’s easy to miss someone when they’re not around at any stage of a relationship. You don’t even have to love them.
