How to Know If He Likes Me?

One of the most difficult parts of dating is at the very beginning. A man and a woman like each other, but both of them are uncertain whether the feelings are mutual. Even though each one of them is secretly pining for the other, they can’t bring themselves to admit it because of an unfounded fear of rejection. This is when they’ll begin to gather information, trying to gauge beforehand whether their affection is returned.

Do you have your eye on some special guy, but you’re wondering whether he feels the same way about you? Well, there are little signs that you can look for to help you solve the mystery, such as:

Do you keep running into him?
Perhaps you’ve been noticing this guy everywhere you look. If he’s been thinking about you, he’s probably trying to be wherever he thinks you might go! Do you notice him making any excuse to tag along with you and your friends? All of these are good signs that he wants to be around you.

Does he act nervous?
For some guys, having feelings for a woman will make him act a bit awkward. If you catch him looking at you and he immediately looks somewhere else and fidgets with his hands and feet, this is a strong sign that he might have a crush on you!

Does his behavior change around you?
When you first walk into a room, keep a close eye on the man you’ve been thinking about. Maybe he’s been happily chatting with his friends, but when you arrive, he suddenly stops. Or maybe it’s the opposite—a normally quiet man who wants to impress you might suddenly start bragging and telling jokes.

Does he try to get close to you?
This is one of the best ways to see if a guy shares your feelings. If all of you are going out as a group, give him the opportunity to sit down next to you and see if he takes it. Any man in the throes of desire will be on the lookout for opportunities like these.

Is he fascinated by what you say?
If this guy has a real crush on you, he’ll be hanging on your every word, trying to find out more about you. You’ll notice it if he listens to everything you say, or if he asks you a lot of questions. Try asking him something about himself, and see whether he’s excited to respond.

Does he like your friends?
A man who’s interested in you will be nice to all your friends so he can get closer to you. The surest sign is if he likes to talk to your friends, but tries to guide the topic of conversation towards you. This can mean that he wants to find out as much as he can about you!

Is he happy to see you?
Even if he’s feeling nervous, his heart is going to be jumping up and down in his chest every time he sees you. Sometimes this can show on his face when he enters a room with you in it—his head snapping up, an involuntary smile, a brightening of the eyes. Look for signals like these before you make your move.
