Sharing places with special significance means he really wants you to know the real him. It could be his hometown, a childhood treehouse, or college dorm. The bottom line is that he wants to meld his past with his present (aka you).

He wants to spend time with your family

Nurturing isn't in most guys' DNA. So when he feels the urge to give you lots of TLC when you are stricken with the flu, that says something. A man in love wants to take care of his woman, snotty tissues and all.
