Signs That A Guy Likes You

[Guest yellowchocolate]

for all the confused girls out there^^

Well, I'm wondering if this guy likes me, and I came across this article on wikihow [lol yes they are awesome]

I think its pretty helpful so I wanted to post it here to help~ ^^

How to Know if a Guy Likes You

There's no way to know for sure if a guy likes you unless you ask him (and even then he could get shy and say no!) so here are a few tips to help you work out if he likes you.

Steps

1. Examine his body language. If he likes you, you may see that he rarely turns his back to you, often leans towards you, and also looks at you a lot.

2. Notice his eye contact. If he likes you, he may either look away quickly if he is shy, or he'll try to catch your eye and hold it or make faces. This can be uncomfortable if you don't like him. If you feel like you have held eye contact just a fraction of a second longer than you would with anyone else, or if he looks away quickly, then there is something there. When he's around you and he says/does something funny and everyone around laughs, his eyes will flicker towards you for a second to see if you laughed, too.

* His pupils may dilate if he likes you, but this is quite hard to pick up on, and you might come across as acting strangely by looking that closely into his eyes. If you're around him for a long time, it could be easier to pick up on gradually.

3. Listen to what he's saying. If he likes you, and he's nervous, he'll probably start talking about himself. Many times, guys feel the need to prove themselves- especially if you talk about another guy in his company.

4. Be aware of touching. He might put his hand on your arm when he laughs, and won't move his leg if it happens to touch yours, or he may hug you for small things - all are good signs of a guy liking you, unless he's a bit of a "playboy" who flirts with a lot of girls.

5. Watch his actions around other girls and see if he treats you differently. Some guys flirt with other girls to get your attention. It gives them a chance to see your reaction. It helps them know if you really do like them or not. The way you can tell that they are trying to make you jealous is that they find little times when they're flirting with the other girl to look at you. His eyes will flick over and look at you. Another sign is that when you leave, he stops flirting with the other girl. That will be a harder one to pick up on, but you can have a friend look for you or something like that. You have to be sneaky sometimes to find out if a guy likes you.

6. Watch for him showing interest in things you like and do. For example, if you like a certain genre of music that he likes as well, he may suggest bands or artists for you to listen to. Another example, if you play sports he may ask to play against you just to show off that he's good at something you both like and then also have a reason to give you compliments as well.

7. Check for signs of nervousness Nervous laughter, sweaty palms, deep breaths, fidgeting, looking away quickly when you notice if he is watching you are all good signs of an attraction towards you and that he is nervous about making an impression on someone he fancies.

8. Pay attention to his friends. If they know he's interested in you, they might tease him subtly when you're around, hint to you that he likes you, or even try to find out if you like him. Study their reactions to your presence - do they smile? Do they turn to him? Do they smirk in a way that suggests they know something that you don't?

Tips

* If you like him and you are confident, ask him out.

* The Clock Test: To see if a guy has been checking you out, abruptly look at the clock, then look at him really fast. If he followed your eyes to the clock, he was staring at you and was startled by your sudden movement that following your eyes is a reflex to them.

* If he seems comfortable talking to you about other girls, he probably does not like you in that way. Either that, or he is trying to make you jealous, which might mean that he likes you but doesn't reflect too well on his character. Or he could be trying to see if you like him.

* If his ex girlfriend hates you, she might be onto something!

* If you have a different lunch schedual than him,try "visiting" your friends in that period and pass by him so he knows you are there.If he comes by to sit with you,or "surprises" you by sneaking up on you,talk with him.Then,later,ask your friends if he normally comes over to sit.If he doesn't,he most likely likes you and wanted an excuse to be near you.

* While you are texting,if he is nervous he will probably stick with easy answers or replies.Tell him he doesn't have to text you if he doesn't want to,and if he says something to make you continue the conversation then he probably is enjoying talking with you,but is either doing something or is nervous.If he IS doing something but is still texting you,then it probably means he isn't ready to stop talking to you even though he really shouldn't be texting.

Warnings

* If you look at him a lot, he might look at you just to see if you're looking at him and not because he likes you...

* Remember that if you like someone you can sometimes misread their signals in the hope that they like you back. For instance, a guy who teases you in an affectionate way may act like that towards everybody and doesn't realise that he's making you swoon every time he pokes good-natured fun at you!

* Watch out for the subtle guys. If he asks you something that could potentially be a date but you're not really sure, make sure it's clear before you agree to it. It can be uncomfortable when one of you thinks you're on a date and one of you thinks you're not.

hehe hope that was helpful?

well, I guess I knew alot of that from common sense...but when you like someone, common sense often just flies out the window haha x]

Anymore anyone wants to add?

=]

what about any experiences anyone has had when you were unsure if he liked you or not? how did that turn out?

how do you really confirm it? are you meant to just ask? @_@;

[Guest Argentine]

you know the fastest way to know and it takes less than 5 seconds?

ask the guy

[Guest Savageponies]

you know the fastest way to know and it takes less than 5 seconds?

ask the guy

you'd be surprised...some guys go into that whole "protecting ego" thing and deny deny deny and then try to figure out if you like them and THEN turn around with a "oh yeah I do like you"

but those are kinda immature guys to be honest -___-''

[Guest TheCoolOne]

Hm, you probably got this article because you were desparate for the certainly of whether or not a guy likes you. I know it drives girls nuts.; it's a common problem you see on these forums (does he like me? etc. etc.) But signs aren't the way to go. The problem with signs is that every guy acts differently. If you notice a lot of touching and teasing, the guy could just be a flirty person. A shy guy who acts like anyone else could be crazy in love with you but is too afraid to initiate. Maybe sweaty palms and nervous speech may be those socially awkwards people who can't talk to girls in general

.

By following signs, there's a possibility of misinterpreting them and having things go wrong. To really improve in courtship you just have to live with that uncertainty. Boost the guy's confidence (flirting and being pretty/sweet) and therefore, the likelyhood of him asking you out. If he asks you out frequently, there's the "sign" that you want.

I guess... if the guy asks you out first and then applies these touching/teasing signs, that'll help.

lol some of these are really cute for some reason

and its true too =)

[Guest 한스 ㅋㅋ]

oooooooooooooohhhhhhh

Now I know why girls overthink a lot.

Because Wikipedia/Google told them to!

Now that make sense... but the tips doesn't....

We know this from the Quote "Guys don't use lame signals"

[Guest blackrose@}-'-]

wikihow is cool, i go on that site too, to find answers. i think it's better than soompi

but not all sign's are that visible, or obvious. i notice that guy's can say things and act a certain way, but it doesn't mean they like u, it's just them being themselves. which if u know the person well enough, u know the difference.

yea...i dont think it'd work if you just asked if he liked you right?

i dunno...never tried it or anything...but it seems pretty risky~

it'd suck if he just went "no." looool~ TT____TT

oooooooooooooohhhhhhh

rofl! hey, its something i think all girls are guilty of, i doubt it'd stop even if wiki said so~ xD

i dont think guys would get nervous around the girl they like as a "lame signal" can you get nervous on cue? i think it just kinda helps in observing his behaviour alittle to work out the chances of him liking you before you make a fool of yourself

lol x]

haha

[Guest connie333]

THe guy that i really like right now is kinda immature and I am not sure if he likes me or not because there are some days when he talks to me very much and others where he just goes through the day not even saying hi. But he has a lot of interests other than girls i guess. HE likes to run in cross country and track and he worries about his grade in his classes. But those rules don't seem to apply in my situation therefore as my grandma has told me, i should just focus on other things rather than my crush who probably doesn't even like me. Yeah, that way i would be happier and not even care when he doesn't talk to me.

[Guest minjin]

yeah guys can show signs, but then the problem is: Is he interested in me as a serious relationship? Or just a one night stand?

[Guest]

LOL...................................................................no other comment xD

[Guest Kirei_BoA]

lol this is a hilarious post. i hope you're not relying on these steps to help you out. i'm girl and even i know this stuff isn't true.

[Guest ShadowMax76]

r0fl. "how to know if a guy wants to do you- he looks at you"

if he's interested. he'll smile, look into your eyes and ask when's the next time he can see you in a different context. x_X" 'nuff said.

i'm pretty sure that any girl, that knows the argument that 'between a male and female there can't exist purely friendly intentions', can tell if a guy 'likes' her. cos most girls either like him, and look too deeply. or she doesn't like him, and thinks "oh, he's just being friendly".

what happened to the "you just know" .. x.x'

woo. a thread that's the perfect example of how girls complicate things . we're really simple things ya know.

[Guest Overtherainbow]

A guy confessed that he has liked me since he met me. I never picked up on any clues. I thought he was gay.

My other guy friend loves to flirt with girls. That list of things to look for would never work with him.
