Whenever you're around the guy in question, he's sweet and attentive to you. You always have a great time together and obviously enjoy each other's company. You are beginning to wonder if he is interested in being more than friends with you.
He hasn't come out and said how he feels about you, though, so how do you know? You might have feelings for him, but how can you dream of having a relationship with him if he actually only likes you as a friend? Pay attention to the signs explained below to know whether he is definitely interested in you or not.
Signs He Is Interested
When a man has romantic feelings for a woman, it can be quite difficult for him to hide. His body language, behavior, and the way he treats you will give it away. Of course, some guys are just charming, friendly flirts, so it's easy to feel unsure about their real feelings - especially if he's one of those kinds of guys.
It can be quite scary if you are attracted to a guy and you're not sure he is attracted to you. As a modern woman, you should have no problems with making the first move and asking him out on a real date. The only thing holding you back is the fear that he might not see you the same way. Clear up your confusion by looking out for the signs he is interested in dating you.
1. Consistent attention on you
When you are together, his attention is focused totally on you, whether in public or when in private. It's normal for a guy to see you and say "Hey how was your weekend?" But before you get to answer, he has turned away.
If this guy asks you questions and is fully engaged and interested in your response, it might be a sign that he's interested in being more than friends.
2. Complimentary all the time
If he always showers you with compliments, it's fair for you to assume that the answer to the question "Is he interested in me?" is a definite yes. A man that notices lots of different things to compliment a woman for is most likely to have the hots for that girl. A guy won't be so generous with his compliments if he doesn't have special feelings for her.
3. Body contact
Whether it's deliberately or unconsciously, the guy that's crushing on you will make as much physical contact with you as he can. It could be as small as a little shoulder bump or as big as a bear hug. He might not even be aware of his habit of making contact with you. It's one of the behaviors a guy naturally demonstrates when he's interested in a woman - a clear sign of his affection for you.
4. Initiates conversation often
If the shy guy at your office keeps coming over to ask you little questions or give you little bits of information, then he's initiating conversations with you. This can be for two reasons - it's either his way of letting you know he likes you, or he can't help himself and wants to find an excuse to see you and speak to you. Is he interested in you? Most certainly.
5. Introduces you to his friends and family
An introduction to his friends and family is a big deal. Most guys will be reluctant to bring a girl to meet his parents if he has no intention of being serious with her. If he introduces you to his friends, that means that he enjoys hanging out with you and thinks that his friends will enjoy your company, too. But if he introduces you to his family as well, then you can be pretty sure that he is interested in having a relationship with you.
6. You're in his future plan
Your friend is planning on going to the music festival next summer, and he's planning on you coming too. This is one of the signs he is interested in you. When he makes his future plans with you in them, it means that he wants you to accompany him all the time.
He can confidently plan a trip or attend an event that may be many months away, because he's certain that you will still be in each other's lives and you will both enjoy the experience.
7. He is clumsy around you
He trips over his feet, stumbles over a chair, and is generally uncoordinated. If he's not usually like this, then there's definitely something up with him. Clumsiness is a sure sign that a man fancies you.
The body produces adrenaline when in the presence of someone you are infatuated or in love with, and it's almost like you're in a state of panic. We suddenly start to fumble both our words and our bodies. Don't worry, he's not a clutz - he's just interested in you!
8. He is protective around you
Have you been surprised that this guy springs to your defense? Whether it's a colleague at work suggesting you didn't do something properly or a driver on the road who sped by in his car and splashed you with rainwater while you were both walking down the street, he's ready to yell after him about being a blind jerk. This guy cares about you and is prepared to defend you like your man and hero.
9. He makes an effort to see you smile
The wide smile of a girl is like a ray of warm sunshine shining down on the guy who has a crush on you. If he truly has feelings for you, he will make an effort to make you smile as much as he can. If he can be the reason for the smile, that's even better.
10. He "follows" you everywhere
We are not implying that he follows you in real life; that would be him coming on far too strong and is more like a red flag than a romantic gesture. By "follow", we mean on social media. If he's your friend or follows you on all your social media accounts, it's a good sign that he's into you.
He might not like your posts, but you should trust that he definitely sees them all. This is his way of getting to know the different sides of you. It will also make him feel closer to you and let him know what you are up to when you are not together.
11. Good eye contact
Even if he's very shy or overcome by the nerves that a crush brings along, his eyes will show the signs he is interested in you. He might only glance into your eyes for a few seconds at a time, but you will still see the affection he has for you shining in his. If he's a more confident person or he's comfortable with you, then the looks might stick on you longer and deeper. You may well feel his attraction to you with his eye contact.
12. He doesn't treat you like his other female friends
Although he's a nice guy and treats all the girls you know well, when it comes to you, he's different somehow. It might be the way his tone of voice softens when he speaks to you or the way he smiles when he looks at you. He could all of a sudden become the comedian of the group or he might go completely silent.
Whatever it might be, when a guy is interested in a girl, he'll definitely treat her differently from how he treats his other female friends, being gentler and easier to stay with.
Final Words
There's no longer any reason you should be unsure as to whether the guy actually likes you. He might not be willing to admit it with his words, but his body language and behavior will not be able to hide it.
If he shows two of the signs mentioned above or more, he is interested in you. Just wait for his desire for you to grow and let you know how he feels. If he shows almost all the signs and you like him too, then you can feel safe to make the first move without the fear of being rejected.
