It's not always easy to say that if a guy likes you. Some men like to tease the women they like, while others are more romantic and open about their feelings. While every guy is different, there are some signs that he likes you more than a friend. When you know the truth, you're either on your way to starting a relationship, or simply content to know it. If you want to know more, see step 1.
Step
Method 1 of 3: See What He Does
Step 1. See if he's trying to impress you
If a guy likes you, he will do his best to impress you. He wants you to find him bold, attractive, cool, or bold. The next time you're around a guy who looks like he likes you, see if he's trying to do or say anything to impress you. If he's trying to show off at sports, show off his weekend plans, or act crazy like jumping into the pool in a suit, or some other behavior that looks like he's trying to impress you, then maybe he really likes you.
- Watch him up close when he does something “amazing.” If he keeps looking at you to make sure you're paying attention, he's probably really into you.
- While it can be hard to see what he's doing when you're not around, try to understand if he starts showing off when you're there. For example, if he starts telling jokes or performing magic tricks as soon as you walk into the room, it's possible that this was done for you.
Step 2. See if you're jealous if you go out with another guy
This is another proof that he likes you. If he's jealous, then there's only one reason he likes you and he's threatened by the other guy. Men have different ways of showing their jealousy. He might make fun of you both, be rude or aggressive to the guy, or walk away when he's around you. If he's jealous, it's because he wishes he had more time with you.
- He wouldn't admit that he was jealous. But if he keeps talking about how bad Jake is, or why you're friends with a freak like Steve, then this is his way of saying he wants you to spend time with him.
- If he's looking down on your male friend, then this is a sign that he's jealous. While this behavior can be a problem if he's really rude, if it's temporary, it just means he likes you.
Step 3. See if he keeps finding excuses to go out with you
If the guy likes you, then he wants to spend as much time with you as possible. He will take you out after school, study together, or take you out with his friends. He might go to a party just because he knows you're there. He may ask what you're going to do and then say he thinks he's going to do the same. If he likes you more often than not and does the same with you, then maybe it's because he likes you.
- Think about this. If you didn't see him much in the past month and suddenly it's like he's always there now, it's probably because he likes you.
- Maybe he's shy about going out with you alone, but if he and his friends are always around, then this could also mean he likes you.
Step 4. See if he flirts with you
It's not always easy to tell if a guy is flirting with you. This often depends on the age, if you are in middle school, the way to tease you is to make fun of you. Every age and level of life has its own way of flirting. But for sure, he sets you apart from the rest. Even though it may sound like he's mocking you at times, he actually likes you.
- If he's always teasing you for always wearing purple or always making jokes about your earrings, then he's teasing you.
- If he gently pushes you or elbows you, then this is his way of flirting with you and getting closer to you.
- If he's flirting with you until he gives you a special name, then he's definitely flirting with you.
Step 5. See if he treats you differently than other women
One major indicator of whether a guy likes you or not is how he treats other women. If he treats other women like you, then he's not into you. But if his treatment is different, then he probably likes you. Another option is if he really cares about other women but ignores you. While it's a bit confusing, this means that he likes you but is shy about showing it.
- The next time you're around him and other women, watch what he does to them. If he keeps teasing them, asks him lots of questions, and he does the same to you, then he's just that type of person. However, if he treats other women differently to you, then maybe he likes you.
- She may be more polite around you than other women. Does he open the door or pull up a chair for you more often than to other women? If so, you already know why.
Step 6. See if he does anything for you
Another sign that he likes you is that he's trying to do something for you. Maybe he'll help you take out the trash, carry books, check movie times for you. Think about this. Is he always trying to help you? If he's doing this just for you, then this means he's doing this because he likes you.
- Of course, he could be a friendly guy who likes to help everyone. But it's less likely than he is that he likes you.
- The fact that he's doing something for you means that he's thinking about what you need. This is a sign he likes you!
Step 7. Pay attention to his phone etiquette
Right now, the easiest way to tell a guy likes you is on the phone. He may be too shy to communicate in person and feel more comfortable over the phone. These are signs he might like you:
- Did he ask for your phone number? Don't despair if you don't. He might give you his number as a subtle way to show he's interested. If this is the case, message him with your name so he has your number. After giving him your number, give him a smile and say “Call me sometime, we can go together!”
- Pay attention to how often he calls or texts you. If he does it often, this is a sign he likes you. If he never texts, maybe he's embarrassed. Don't be afraid to get started, it's possible he's waiting for you to message! If you text a few times and he doesn't respond, he probably isn't interested in you.
Method 2 of 3: See What He Says
Step 1. See if he asks if you like someone
If he does this, this is solid evidence. He's asking this because he's nervous that you're your crush, or he's secretly hoping you'll say you like him. This is her gentle way of showing her feelings. If he's always teasing or bothering you about whether you like other people, then it's probably because he likes you.
However, there is one exception. He's probably asking this for his friend because his friend likes you. See if he has any friends who like to keep an eye on you and who you think likes you
Step 2. See if he says he can't find the right woman
If he keeps saying this, it means he wants to say that you are the right woman. If he's on a date with another girl and then says he doesn't really like her, this might also be his way of saying that you're the one he likes.
Just make sure he doesn't put you in the friend zone. If he asks you for your opinion on the date, he may consider you a friend. But if he's just "complaining" to you about not being able to find the right woman, then he probably likes you
Step 3. See if he's always looking for subtle ways to compliment you
Another sign a guy likes you is that he's always looking for ways to compliment you. He might not say bluntly, “You look beautiful today,” but he might say your dress looks great, he likes your earrings, or he thinks your new shoes are amazing. The fact that he cares about how you look, what you do, what you wear shows that he cares about you and maybe he likes you.
He can also compliment you on how good you are at sports, in class, or how well he likes your jokes. While some guys are shy about complimenting this, it can also be a way of showing that he likes you
Step 4. See if he's trying to figure out your plans
Another sign that he likes you is that he's always asking what you do on the weekends. He might ask this to make sure you're not dating because he's jealous. Or it could be his way of asking you out. If he wants to know what you do outside of school, this might be a sign that he wants to be a part of it.
- He might say something simple like, “Did you do anything fun this weekend?” If you say no, he could use this moment to ask you out, which is a sign that he might like you.
- Look at his face when he asks you what you did this weekend. If you say you're going out with your girlfriend, then there will be a relieved face you can see because she knows you're not going out with another guy.
Step 5. See if he opens up to you
If a guy likes you, he'll be more open to you about the things he thinks and feels. He can talk about his favorite pets, siblings, friends, or even dreams. If he's telling you something personal, and he even says, “I don't tell a lot of people about this” or “Not a lot of people know about me,” then this is a sign that he thinks you're special. If he likes you, he will open up more to you than anyone else.
If he's not very open with you, it doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't like you. He could be embarrassed
Step 6. See if he laughs around you more often
If a man likes you, then he will be more nervous around you than other women. This will make him laugh more often than usual. He may laugh out loud at things that aren't really funny, or chuckle at things that aren't. Next time you're together, pay attention to how often you laugh more than normal. If it's like this, he probably likes you.
- Study him around other people. Is he really the type of person who likes to laugh? Or does he laugh more when he's with you? If laughter is kept for you, then it's probably because he likes you.
- You can always see if he's trying to make you laugh. If he's trying to joke with you more than anyone else, or he's trying harder, then it's probably because he likes you.
Method 3 of 3: Reading His Body Language
Step 1. See if he's always looking for excuses to touch you
It's perfectly natural that a guy who likes you will try to touch you. If you're sitting next to him and your feet are constantly touching, it's possible that this is intentional. If you're in a group and he tends to play push you, or touch you in other ways, then this is also a sign he likes you.
Watch what he does the next time you have asthma. Is he trying to gently touch you? If so, maybe he likes you. Of course, if he's shy he won't try to touch you and may feel intimidated when he's around you
Step 2. Notice if you catch him staring at you
If he stares at you in class, or in the cafeteria, it's probably because he likes you. If he's shy and looks away, it's even more likely that he likes you.
The bad side of you always trying to catch him staring at you is that he can think that you're the one who likes him. But that's true right?
Step 3. See if he turns his head towards you when he talks
The next time you talk to him, see if he turns his chest, shoulders, and legs toward you. If he likes you, then he wants to be closer to you and is interested in what you have to say. If he looks away from you, arms folded, he probably doesn't like you. While body language isn't everything, it can help you figure out if he likes you or not.
Of course, it can also help you to observe them when you are with other people. See if his body language is more open to you than to other people. See if he always folds his arms when with other people, then this is not bad for you
Step 4. See if he's restless around you
Restlessness is the main sign of nervousness. If he's playing with his shirt, biting his nails, or stroking his shirt, or kicking him in the air when he's with you, then he's probably nervous. Next time you talk, see if he moves his hands and other body parts more often. If so, it could mean he likes you because he's nervous about what to do around you.
He could also be playing with his phone or looking for another job. This doesn't mean he's bored and wants to talk to other people, but he's just too nervous about talking to you
Step 5. See if he's preening around you
If he's smoothing his hair, looking in the mirror, rubbing his shoes, or tidying his clothes when you're around, then it's probably because he likes you and is nervous about whether he looks good or not. Next time you talk to him, see if he becomes more aware of his appearance. If so, then it's probably because he likes you and wants you to see him at his best.
Think about it: You tend to spend a lot of time looking in the mirror before seeing your crush, don't you? Men feel the same way. If he likes you, then he will start thinking about how he looks when he talks to you
Step 6. See if her face glows when you walk into the room
This is the clearest sign that if you walk into the room, and his face lights up, his eyes widen and he smiles, then this means he likes you. He may not come straight to you, but this first response shows that he likes you.
Her face probably lit up and she tried to turn her head away to stay calm. But if you look into his eyes, you'll know his true feelings
Step 7. See if he gives you his full attention when he talks
If the guy likes you, then he will give you his attention. He'll turn his body towards you, make eye contact, and won't look around during your conversation (unless he's nervous). If his friend is passing by and he doesn't even notice, then this is probably because he likes you and really cares about you.
The next time you talk to him, see if he's paying your full attention. If he looks at you closely, and seems to be attached, then he probably likes you. However, he might just be too nervous that he was too worried about what he was going to say
Tips
- Learn the art of understanding body language. This can say a LOT of things.
- Don't ask him if he likes you even if you think he likes you because he might say "yes" or "no".
- If she tries to make her jealous by using another guy to act like a boyfriend, this won't be easy. On the other hand, it will create more problems.
- Don't be too obvious to the guy that you like him too.
- It's been proven that when people are seen by the person they like, their eyes widen! Check it!
