How To Tell If He Likes You or If He Likes You – Likes You
As if trying to figure out whether or not you just like him as a friend or if you’re into him romantically wasn’t hard enough, now you have to figure out how he feels, too. Does he like you as a buddy? Is he interested in something more? Here’s how to tell the difference between friendly attention and hopeful intentions.
He Wants To Be Friends
- He calls you and asks you to come hang out with him – and a bunch of other people. Then launches into a discussion about a girl friend of yours and what her dating habits are.
- He ignores you when his friends/ other girls/ or virtually any other human is in the vicinity. And pays attention to you when there’s no one else around.
- He smiles at you and/ or waves at you as he passes you in the hall. He stops and talks to you at your locker or when you sit near each other in class – you and everyone else in a 1 desk or 2 locker radius.
- He forgets pertinent details about you – like your name. Or what you just said 5 minutes ago.
- He talks to you with the same amount of interest and in the same tone as he talks to everyone else.
- His eye contact with you is fleeting or incidental and his eyes say nothing but ‘Oh yeah? Really?’ when you tell him something.
- Any glances at your neck or lips are followed by a comments like, ‘You have lipstick on your teeth.’ Or ‘Is that a hickey?’
- His friends pay attention to you, and ask you out. Guys don’t crush on their friend’s crushes.
He Wants To Be Your Boyfriend
- He calls and asks you to hang out and doesn’t mention that anyone else is included in the plan. Any reference to other girls is marginal, derogatory, or non-existent.
- He ignores everyone else when you are around. He seeks you out to talk to when you walk up and he seems to end up standing next to you – or looking at you – a lot.
- He stops by your locker or your class though he’s supposed to be on the other side of the building and his locker is nowhere near yours.
- He remembers things you’ve said that you’ve forgotten about. For example, he reminds you of a geometry test you have on Friday even though he’s taking algebra II.
- When he talks to you, his voice sounds different than when he talks to everyone else. Maybe he’s more focused, his voices lowers or rises, or when he says ‘Hi’ it sounds more like ‘How you doin’?’
- His eye contact lasts a little longer or more intense than with other people and in them you can see everything you say being committed to memory.
- When you’re talking, his eyes never stray from your face – your hair, your neck, your lips. If you catch him looking at your lips, it means he wants to kiss you. Kissing is a boyfriend thing.
- His friends pay a lot of attention to you and ask you what you think of him.
Change is Good
Basically, if a guy changes how he acts or acts like he is uncomfortable when you are around, then he likes you – likes you and considers you girlfriend material. If he pays attention to you in the same way that he does everyone else, then he’s just a nice guy who wants to be friends.
