Step
Part 1 of 2: Observing His Behavior
Step 1. Notice if he jokes only with you or likes to joke with everyone
Maybe he likes you if you joke around a lot, but maybe he does the same thing with other people. At lunch, notice if he's joking with you just to be funny or because he wants to sound humorous and gregarious. He's more likely to like you if:
-
Be very nice to you and never let you down.
- Often walks beside you to class.
- Impressed shy when you meet.
Step 2. When interacting with him, pay attention to whether he approaches beyond the boundaries of the personal area
Step 3. Notice if he's always trying to make you feel good or being humorous
Step 4. Find out if he is showing off his strengths
There are several ways to build self-image, for example by telling all the sports activities that he does, his ability to do something, or his achievements in certain things. However, keep in mind that it is likely that he will do the same for everyone else. Try to see if he is telling you his strengths because he wants to make a positive impression.
Step 5. Observe if he is seeking attention by acting silly or rude
If he likes you and wants to cover it up, don't be surprised if he suddenly kicks the bench, talks loudly, or acts recklessly.
Step 6. Pay attention to his body language when he sits or stands next to you
If he's trying to sit up or stand up straight, he probably likes you. If he regularly adjusts his shirts or adjusts his hat, he may want to overcome the embarrassment or awkwardness of your beauty. He's more likely to like you if he always stands up for you and is very protective.
Step 7. Ask him if he likes you
Asking is the easiest and fastest way. However, you need to have the confidence to be able to do this and be ready to face the reality if it turns out that he doesn't like you (especially if you do).
Step 8. Get information through trusted friends
Ask a friend for help to ask him directly or observe his movements from a distance.
Part 2 of 2: Analyzing His Behavior
Observing Facial Expressions
Step 1. Notice if he looks at you often
This is one of the important clues that you should know. If he looks at you, try to interpret his gaze. Does he seem daydreaming or confused? Oftentimes, the look in your eyes can reveal your true feelings!
Step 2. Pay attention to his eyes
Do his pupils dilate when he looks at you? Sometimes, dilated pupils are a sign when a man likes a woman. Even if you don't get enough attention, it can show that he likes you.
Step 3. Pay attention to the color of the cheeks
When you meet, notice if his cheeks are red? When chatting in the hall, did the color of his cheeks turn rosy or just plain. If the color of his cheeks changes, he may feel nervous or embarrassed about being around you.
As he walks past or in the classroom, take a quick glance to see if he's staring at you. Observe his reaction when he realizes that you know. If his cheeks turn red or he immediately looks away, you can be sure he likes you. However, don't be upset if he doesn't react at all because some guys want to always look cool by acting like nothing happened
Observing His Interaction With You
Step 1. Pay attention to the way he touches you
When joking, has he ever gently pushed or touched you? If so, maybe he wants to get to know you better or is looking for an excuse to get closer to you.
-
Has he ever hugged you for no reason? Making physical contact is a strong sign that he likes you.
Step 2. Be aware that he often provides assistance
Maybe he helps you just want to be friends. However, if he helps out a lot, it's an excuse to get to know each other better.
Step 3. Notice if he panics when he sees you cry
He's more likely to like you if he's more panicked than the other guys because you're crying. Pay attention to his reaction when you are forced to cry because the irritation builds up. Does he ask "what's wrong" or "why" while trying to make you laugh or smile again? If he's paying more attention to you in various ways than your other male friends, then maybe he likes you.
Step 4. Be careful if he is interested in the things you like
A week ago, you shared your favorite TV shows and video games. These few days, he was also watching TV shows and playing the same games. Maybe you both have the same interests or he's doing this because he hopes you'll like him too.
Step 5. Observe if he always wants to be close to you
If you are free to choose a seat in class, pay attention to whether he often sits next to you or at least looks for a nearby seat.
Does he ever ask you for your cell phone number and text often? If not, he may be shy or nervous
Paying attention to their reactions to your interactions with others
Step 1. Notice if he seems jealous of your boyfriend or other male friends
Has he ever been caught staring or squinting at the guy you're talking to? If so, he may feel jealous when you interact with other men.
Pay attention to the expression on his face when you are chatting with other men. Does his face show anger or irritation, even if he approaches and interrupts the conversation?
Step 2. Find out by observing the behavior of his friends
One reliable clue is to see his friends laughing while trying to hide something you should know. When he hangs out with friends, take advantage of this opportunity to look for clues because often times, they let the girl they are looking for find the answers themselves.
- Do they giggle and poke fun at him or make fun of him with romantic words?
- Does he often hang out with mutual friends? Maybe he wants to get closer to them so he can get to know you better.
Tips
- If you're not ready to do the tips above, give subtle cues to find out how she feels.
- Give it a surprise if you like it too. Decide for yourself the most appropriate way to give a surprise.
- A guy who really likes you will try to show his feelings. While it's hard to be sure of someone's feelings, you're lucky if you can get a clue just by reading their body language and facial expressions. Spend time with his friends and be a smiley person to both male and female friends so he doesn't know how you feel. Notice if he often steals glances to see you and wants to be closer to you.
- If a guy likes you, he will ask you about the things you like and often start conversations without a clear topic.
- He also often stares at you in class, but when you look back at him, he immediately looks elsewhere.
- See if he continues to stare at you in silence after making a joke. Maybe he expects you to respond.
