if a guy looks at you from across the room repetitively, then he definitely has feelings for you. we are talking about not one or twice, but three or more times he looks at you!
i want to know if this guy wants to be involved in a relationship with me and not just a fling. hope these signs can help.
most men aren’t really open in telling how they feel specially withwomen. either they’re too shy or too afraid of rejection. look out for his body language, this says it all.
a sure sign that a guy likes you is if he makes effort to contact you like asking how your day was. men do not usually do this so consider yourself one lucky girl if this sign is present.
i like shy men. i find them really cute especially if it is obvious that they have feelings for me.
what tells me that a guy likes me is if he does all the things that only a boyfriend can do for me. you can’t go wrong with that, right?
one obvious sign that a guy likes you is if he always sends you messages or calls up asking if you have reached home. this was my husband’s style when he was just starting to court me.
i knew it! my friends told me this guy was always asking for me when i am not around and i have a feeling that he likes me very much! another sign? he is very generous with me!
i never had a hard time knowing if a guy likes me or not. sometimes, i just pretend i don’t notice the signs for several reasons. or let us just say i really like that guy ( as a friend) and i don’t want to ruin our friendship.
you cannot deny that a guy is into you whenever he makes eye contact and stares at your face when talking to you. this is their simplest way to show us, girls, that they are interested in us.
there are many other signs that a guy likes you, but these are the very obvious ones. if you want to know how to tell if he is into you, then read this post!
this article made my day! i always thought that guys can be such a mystery especially when it comes to knowing their feelings. this will let me know if a guy likes me more than just a friend.
i really found this article very helpful. i took the quiz and the result is not what i am expected but that is ok. i still believe that someday my crush will find me interesting too.
i guess most girls have the same problem! i am also crushing on this wonderful man and i am deeply wondering if he feels the same way.. with these points, we can easily figure out the answer to our question.
i like this guy at work but i am confused if he likes me too or what. our work environment is kind of unromantic. i am not even sure if he is flirting with me or just being friendly. help!!!
i am confused.. my guy friend always mimic me, texts me more often but is not interested in things that i like. i also catch him looking at me every time. does this mean he has feelings for me more than just a friend?
this is what i’ve observed from men.. their body language changes if they like someone. they are all the same. well, i guess that is true for girls too!
hmmm, i am positive that this guy is into me so much! he always starts a conversation with me even if he didn’t have to. he also finds time to ask me things that he doesn’t necessarily need to ask me.. isn’t it weird?
i am deeply attracted to this guy and i wonder if he likes me too or not. i am happy to learn that there is an easy way to find out. i will definitely watch out for these signs. wish me luck!
wow! this article is really good! most men can be a bit shy when it comes to saying that they care about you. thank you for giving me ideas to tell if a guy is really into me even if he is not saying so out loud.
i find a guy very funny and cute whenever he does these things. i wish they could be straightforward.
hmm, i can use these signs in my dating life. my friends would love to read this too! i will share it with them now.
i agree with all of the signs here. but what if a guy really likes you but he is trying not to show it?
Just ask him if he wants to do something after work and see what he says.
this guy laughs at my jokes even if they are not really funny. i can also see that he shares the same sense of humor with me. well, that is a sign that he feels something for me.
i feel butterflies in my stomach whenever he locks eyes with me and smiles! it is really an awesome feeling knowing that he likes me too!
ok. this post made me realize that the guy i really like doesn’t like me at all… he smiles at me but other than that, he never displays any more of these signs.. i guess i gotta move on.
i’ve never been offered a financial assistance even by guy’s who likes me. haha!
men like to tease if they have feelings for you. my guy used to tease me a lot through text and i admit that was one of the many cute things i liked about him so i said yes to him when he asked me to be his girlfriend.
oh yes if a guy introduces you to his friends, it means he really likes you and wanted to take things to the next level. i do that too if i really like someone.
my boyfriend always tells me that he misses me if he hasn’t seen me for a while. he really cares about that is why i love him so much!
