1. You Have Your Own Inside Jokes

You know how you and your friends have your own jokes with each other? It brings you closer, right? Same thing with guys.

When you’re using silly words that you only use with each other, making jokes, and have special little moments, it shows that you have a deeper connection. It’s like you have your own private, special little world that only includes the two of you.

2. He Mentions That Something Reminded Him Of You Or Something About You

Any time a guy says something reminded him of you, it’s a major sign that you’re on his mind and he’s taking the extra step to tell you that.

He might send you funny jokes or memes on social media because he wants to share a laugh with you or thought it would brighten your day.

Just keep in mind that not all guys are into social media… in fact, it’s not unusual for most guys to not like messaging on their phone through the day. So if he’s not big on texting or social media, don’t worry… I’ll tell you in a moment what really matters.

3. He Follows You On Social Media

This applies only if he’s into using social media. Whether it’s Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, or whatever. If you’ve got a social media profile, he’s following it.

Even better is if you notice him liking your posts or even commenting on them. While he could just lurk and follow your accounts casually, interacting with you on them shows he wants to be included and have you notice him.

Again, this only applies if he’s into social media… lots of men really aren’t, so don’t worry if he’s someone that doesn’t really use social media.

4. When He Sees You, He Tends To Hug You!

This is one of the most obvious signs he’s into you. Guys don’t just get all touchy-feeling with women they have no interest in. If he gives you a genuine hug it’s a good sign he wants to be close to you and is attracted to you.

Also, if he’s just one of those guys who’s a big hugger and does it to everyone, pay attention to how he does it to you. Does he hold you longer or tighter? Does he have any other physical contact with you beyond that? If he’s hugging you differently, it’s a clear sign he’s feeling a good connection with you.

    If I think about the person on my mind all day and night.
    Does that mean he could be thinking about me?
    What has been going on for four years, day and night?
    I’m just wondering.

    Hello! I’m looking for advice on when you know for a fact your guy best friend of almost 8 years, wants to romantically be with you (because it’s been talked about outloud, and 99% of the article is applicable lol) and I agree about wanting to as well, but he is terrified about something randomly going sideways and him losing me as a friend. If we could chat more extensively in private, I’d be thoroughly appreciative!!

    Hi Erin,

    I really need to talk to you about some unclarity I’ve been having towards a guy. I’d rather message you individually. Would we be able to touch base at some point?
