15 Subtle Signs That Show He Really Likes You

Responds to texts quickly

How often do you get a text, read it, and then wait for a more convenient time to respond? Pretty often right. Don’t feel bad you’re not alone, we all do it. But when you get a text from your crush, you never wait. It seems like the world stops and you can’t go about your day until you’ve answered his question or have responded with something witty. You get excited and fire off a reply in record breaking time. And the same as you would quickly text someone you’re interested in, so will he. Any guy who is hoping to have more than just a friendship with you will try to keep you talking. If he’s responding to your texts relatively quickly the majority of the time, it’s a pretty good sign that he considers you a priority and doesn’t want to keep you waiting. After all, he wants you to like him and he knows that ignoring you will only make him look bad.

You Catch Him Looking At You

You’re sitting behind your desk at work, glance up and happen to catch his eye for a split second before he looks down. Of course a simple glance isn’t always a indicator that the glancer is interested. But when you catch him looking at you on more than one occasion, that simple glance becomes a huge indicator that he’s crushing on you. Because it’s just like when you’re shopping and something catches your eye and you can’t help but keep looking at it. When a woman catches a man’s eye he will have a hard time not gazing at her mindlessly. So if that cutie in the next cubicle keeps lingering on you as he’s glancing around, there’s a good chance that he’s waiting for the right moment to make his move. This may be your time to welcome him over or smile back, letting him know you too are interested.

He Includes You In His Life

When it comes to what’s going on his life, he’s sure to keep you in the loop. And if you think about it, you never even have to give him a little push by asking questions to get him talking. You know what day he plays football with the boys, when he’s attending his nieces 5th birthday and you even know what night he’s going to his favorite bands concert. And you know all of this without having to stalk him on social media. Because when you’re chatting, he openly discusses everything he has going on his life with you. Even when you didn’t ask about it. You even know how he feels about his day, you know about his good work days and bad work days. It’s like he confides in you the way he does his closest friends. In fact, you don’t need to stalk him on social media at all, because he tags you in posts and sends you event invites all the time.

Tries To Get Close To You

If you can’t help but notice that every time you’re standing with coworkers or friends he always chooses to stand next to you. Or when you’re in the same room and look his way, he’s always just a little bit closer to you than he had been, it’s a huge sign that he’s interested in you. He seems to always have eyes on you too, he wants to make sure you know he’s acknowledging you and that you are on his mind. Men will make the effort to be closer to you when they have a chance, this is only if they like you. They want to make their chances of getting your attention easier. Because let’s face it, it’s always easier to strike up a conversation with a person who’s standing next to you. So if he’s interested in you, he’s going to try to maximize his chances of getting to know you by ensuring that he’s standing at a close distance.

He lights Up When He Sees You

It could be something as simple as you walking into a room and making eye contact with him. But instead of him giving you that half smile, his face lights up and a smile breaks across his face at the mere sight of you. If he likes you, you can bet that when he sees you he’s going to be happy about it. I mean just think about it, when you see your crush the butterflies start fluttering, you get those fun tingly sensations, you may even feel a little nervous. But the one thing that’s universal, is that you will feel happy to see them. You like them because they give you some sense of happiness. They give you a feeling that you yearn for. If they didn’t you wouldn’t look forward to seeing them right? Well the same thing goes for a guy with a crush. Of course not every guy who smiles at you will want to date you. But if he’s always got a smile on his face when you come around, it’s a sign that he’s looking to be more than friends.

Body Language Cues

Body language says a lot about how a person is feeling. And it’s a lot easier to decipher than you might think. Things you wouldn’t normally pay attention to could actually tell you everything you need to know about his feelings. Here’s a few basics to keep an eye out for, they will be helpful the next time you see him. Because things like the placement of his feet matter more than you might think. If he has his feet with his toes pointed towards you, even if you’re standing in a group of people. Subconsciously he’s saying that you are the one he wants to be talking to. You also want to pay attention to his movements. Look for mirroring. Mirroring is when he copies your movements. If he’s unconsciously standing the same way as you or repeating the hand gestures you make, then he’s trying to be more likeable to you on a subconscious level.

Tries To Get To Know You

Okay, so this one may seem a little tricky. After all, when you are talking to an acquaintance you generally ask questions to get to know them a little better. But when a guy likes you he’ll be more in depth with his questions, rather than just asking the simple questions like “how was your day?” he will also be asking about your work life, home life, interests ect. He will want to know this about you because it helps him gauge how much he likes you. Asking about hobbies, favorite movies, favorite restaurant, where you see yourself in the next five years are all things a man will ask a potential new girlfriend. Not only will these types of questions let him get to know you a little better, they will give him ideas for dates when he finally asks you out. And when he’s talking to you, he’ll talk about anything just to keep the conversation going.

Marks His Territory Via Social Media

I don’t mean he goes through and likes every status update and picture you’ve posted since you created the account. Because let’s face it, that would be creepy. But if he likes your latest posts, comments on pictures, and makes his presence known on whatever social media platform you’re using. He’s basically staking his claim to you. He’s making sure he’s on your radar and you know that he notices you. He’s also letting you know that he is taking the time to pay attention to your interests or what you have to share to others. But it’s more than just you seeing he’s liking what you post. It’s also a subtle way for him to let the competition know that he has dibs. Men can be territorial creatures and luckily we have moved passed the caveman days and we have entered a new millennium where scaring off the competition is much less dangerous.

He Tries To Look Good For You

When you first met him, he looked good, that’s part of what drew you in to him. But recently you’ve noticed that he seems to put just a little more effort into his appearance. Maybe it’s a new shirt or a new cologne. You have noticed he’s changed his signature scent, is he trying something new hoping you’d notice? The point is he tries to look good and smell good, all an attempt to make sure you notice. If he didn’t care about what you thought of him, he would save himself the trouble and stick to his regular routine. But now that you two are getting to know each other a little better. He wants you to find him attractive. Because the reality is, attraction is what creates that pull between two people. Without that physical attraction the chances of a first date are slim. And he’s aware of this fact. So if he’s hoping to make it to that first date, he’s going to look his best.

Tries To Make You Laugh

A man with a sense of humor is attractive to every woman. If he’s doing things just to get a laugh out of you on a regular basis, he probably likes you. He wants to make you happy and a smiling woman is a beautiful sight to all men. Seriously, they love it. When they do something that makes you laugh they feel like they are doing their part by brightening your day a little bit more than it had been. He wants you to enjoy yourself when you’re together because he wants you to spend more time with him. And who doesn’t want to spend time with a humorous person that can make you laugh and have a good time? Most men will agree that if they can get you laughing they will feel like they can get that first date and if they get really lucky and keep you laughing they may even secure that coveted second date.

Hes Not Afraid To Touch You

You don’t go around touching everyone you meet right? Of course you don’t! And neither will he. Because touch can be a powerful thing and if used appropriately can help establish a bond between two people. So if he is finding reasons to touch you, he is looking to build a connection and trust with you. He has to feel something for you. Or else he wouldn’t feel comfortable enough to reach out and touch your forearm or place his hand on your shoulder. If he walks past you and places a hand of your shoulder to get your attention. Or if he reaches out and places his hand on your arm while laughing at a joke, he might have a crush on you. This is especially true if you have noticed that he only touches you even when others are around.

He Listens

When you’re talking you know you have his undivided attention. You won’t have that feeling that he’d rather be doing something else. Because he’ll be hanging on your every word and he’ll be legitimately interested in what you have to say. He won’t be checking his phone every few minutes or staring at the clock waiting for his chance to escape. Nope, he’ll be totally in the conversation with you. Listening and responding appropriately. A man who likes you will want to talk to you. You could be talking about something that he would usually find boring. But because he’s talking about it with you, he’ll never want the conversation to end. But even after the conversation has ended he’ll bring up little points here and there of the things you two talked about.

He’ll Text You When He’s Out With Friends

If he’s out with his friends and takes a few seconds to send you a text, you know he likes you. You were on his mind, even when he was out having fun. If you weren’t you wouldn’t have heard from him. If he’s going out of his way to tell you that he’s having a great time or just to see what you’re up to. The guy has got it bad. A guy isn’t going to stop what he’s doing so that he can text just any girl. No, he’s only going to do it for one that he is actually interested in. Because even when he was having a good time, talking with his buddies and getting into typical male shenanigans. He could have been thinking about the big game he’s been waiting all season to watch but instead it was you that was on his mind. And it was enough to make him ignore everyone around him for a minute to talk to you.

Compliments

Every time you see him he makes sure to let you know that he loves the way you’re wearing your hair today. Or that your dress is beautiful and brings out your eyes. He’s not just trying to play up your ego so that he can hook up with you. If he’s taking his time to get to know you and giving you genuine compliments he is interested in having a relationship with you. He wants to make you feel pretty. Because to him you’re beautiful. He wants to say things that will make you smile and give you a little boost in confidence. He doesn’t have to give you the compliments, in fact most men probably wouldn’t go out of their way to pay you a compliment. But for him, it’s more than worth it to take those few moments out of his day to make you feel good about yourself.

He Asks You Out

This one is pretty straightforward. Seriously, could there be an easier to read sign that he’s into you? I don’t think so. Now that he’s finally worked up the courage to ask you out, you pretty much now he’s interested. Okay, so I don’t mean he asks you to just anything. If he’s inviting you to the surprise birthday party for one of your coworkers, you might want to not jump to conclusions. But if he’s asking you out on a real date, then it’s obvious that he’s interested in at least getting to know you a little better. And if he asks you to go do something other than the typical dinner and a movie then he really likes you. Pay attention to what he does. If he’s pulling out all the stops and working hard to impress you. Then it’s safe to say he’s definitely got a huge crush on you.
