What are little indicators that your partner is proud having you by their side whether in public or when you are alone

Since I have recently started dating my bf, I don't hold back from letting him know that I remember things he told me months ago even before we started dating, I am watching his favorite show because I genuinely wanted to understand why he loved it,

I occasionally ask about his family and love to hear the stories he has to tell

I feel like these aren't enough and I want to do better because he deserves a great partner

Like for example seeming uninterested even when she is, Thank you

I have always believed that I was quite open and that my interest was obvious but after some self reflection I realized I didn't sound as warm as I thought

Just curious because sometimes doing a granny hobby in front of my crush makes me slightly self aware as we both are in our early twenties

I need advice on how to befriend a guy, who is slightly reserved around girls, so how do i make him see me as a buddy and want to hang out with me

Around seven months ago I met a guy who was part of the same social group I was part of, he was pleasant to talk to eventually i grew interested in him, I could feel it was mutual we subtly flirted with each other he was pretty attentive and warm, I never felt so comfortable around someone even the silence was comfortable,

Due certain circumstances, we didn't see each other for four months and our dynamic completely shifted he doesn't seem as familiar as he was, so I pulled back emotionally to protect myself from disappointment, and now I'm wondering whether I imagined everything and that he was never interested to begin with,

And other times there is some hope that he is pretending to be detached for the same reason but I'm probably just lying to myself

I always believed I did almost everything right yet failed each time in building a friendship, I showed interest, I asked questions, I initiated texts and conversations,

But I believe I never really moved anything forward, there is a certain guy I want to befriend and I need tips
