Guys can be a bit hard to read at times and that's why it's pretty difficult to be completely sure if a guy likes you. Throughout my teen years of dating, it was hard to tell if a guy was being sweet just to “get some” or if they were being sweet because they actually liked me. If you are in a confusing relationship or for those future confusing relationships, I would like to give you 15 ways to be completely sure a guy likes you, so listen up girls and get ready to know if that guy you are dating really digs you or if he is just playing you...

1. He Tells Someone about You
So you've been flirting with this guy and he's been flirting back. Does it mean anything more to him? If he really likes you, he is going to tell someone about you. If he tells a mutual friend that he would like to get to know more about you and also asks others questions about you, he definitely likes you. His questions show that he has more than a casual interest in you.
***
When he opens up about his feelings to someone close, it's a huge indicator that you've made an impact. He might casually mention how much fun he has with you or that you have a great sense of humor, all just to see what they think. This sort of confidential confession is his way of indirectly communicating his interest without taking too big a risk. Pay attention if a friend says he's been talking about you – it's a sign he might just be falling for you.
It's all in the little things he does! Like, if he keeps showing up where you are or tries to get your attention in various ways, it's a good sign he likes you.
Guys can be hard to read sometimes. He might be shy or unsure of how you feel about him, or he could be nervous. Try talking to him to get a better idea of what's going on.
Some guys, especially if they are young or inexperienced, might act mean because they don't know how to express their feelings properly. It’s confusing, but often it means he likes you and just doesn’t know how to show it.
He probably likes you but is super shy or nervous about striking up a conversation. He might be hoping you’ll make the first move or give him a clear signal.
If he’s popping up in places where you are, it’s likely he’s going out of his way to see you. It’s his way of wanting to be around you without being too direct about his feelings.
2. He Has "that Look"
Even though the guy is sitting way across the room, that look he gives you will say it all. If he looks at you with wonder in his eyes and is always making eye contact with you, this is a good sign. After all, eyes are the windows to the soul, right?
***
This look is more than just a passing glance. If the guy is making consistent eye contact with you, and it appears to be more than just a casual glance, then it's a good sign that he is interested in you. He may even be smiling or blushing when you make eye contact with him. If he looks at you with a sense of admiration and wonder, then it could be a sign that he is really into you. His body language can also tell you a lot about how he feels. If he is leaning in toward you when you talk or if he is constantly finding ways to touch you, even if it's just a light brush of your hand or arm, then this could be a sign that he is into you.
It's all in the little things he does! Like, if he keeps showing up where you are or tries to get your attention in various ways, it's a good sign he likes you.

3. The Conversation You Share
If he's interested in more than small talk with you, this could be a sign that he totally likes you! He'll try to find common ground with you and ask you questions that allow him to get to know you better. You'll know that he's a good listener if he uses that information you told me in another future conversation.
***
He doesn’t just zone out; instead, he's genuinely engaged and remembers the quirky stories about your dog or how much you love rock climbing. Even after days or weeks, he might bring up details from those first deep conversations, proving how much your words stick with him. It's not just about making conversation—it's about creating a meaningful connection. Watch for those moments when his face lights up with interest, and he seems truly excited to delve into topics you're passionate about. That's his subtle way of showing that you're important and what you value, matters to him.

4. He Shows up Unexpectedly
If he shows up out of nowhere, then it is obvious that he really likes you. Guys will always try to pop up "coincidentally" to get your attention. Whether he's hanging out by your school locker, joining the same extracurricular club you're in, or just catching up with you outside, he wants you to notice him. This is major effort from his side!
***
When a guy is into you, he'll go out of his way to make sure you know it. One way he might do this is by showing up unexpectedly. Whether it's at your school locker, your favorite extracurricular activity, or just when you're out and about, if he's appearing out of nowhere then it's a sure sign that he's interested in you.
This kind of behavior shows that he's willing to put in the effort to get your attention. He's likely trying to make sure you know that he's around and that he's interested in you. He could be trying to make sure that you notice him, or that he gets the chance to talk to you.
It's not just about showing up at unexpected times, though. If he's always finding ways to be around you, whether that's asking to hang out or just saying hi in the hallways, then it's a sign that he's into you. He's likely trying to get to know you better and make sure that you know he's interested.
It's all in the little things he does! Like, if he keeps showing up where you are or tries to get your attention in various ways, it's a good sign he likes you.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. Are You a Happy Person?
The reason I ask is because if you are a happy person, then who would not like you? Of course he likes you! If you always appear sad and depressed, then now may be the time to start working on that. Take a look at your body image, your future, the resources, the possibilities and your plans and stay positive! Change is hard but if change can make your life happier...why not!
***
Being a happy person can greatly impact your relationships, especially when it comes to dating. According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, happy individuals are perceived as more attractive and likeable by others. This means that if you are a happy person, the guy you are interested in is more likely to reciprocate those feelings. Additionally, being happy can also make you more confident and positive, which are attractive qualities to have. So, if you want to increase your chances of a guy being into you, focus on cultivating happiness in your life.

If the guy admits something embarrassing to you, then he is into you. Some guys will share oddities about themselves in order to break the ice and to show you that they are real. And most importantly it shows that he is absolutely comfortable with you.
***
When he opens up and reveals those not-so-perfect aspects of himself, he's not just sharing a laugh, he's telling you that he trusts you enough to see the genuine, unfiltered version of him. This kind of vulnerability takes guts and definitely isn't for someone he considers just a friend. By letting his guard down, he's hoping to connect with you on a deeper level and is testing the waters to see if you'll accept him, quirks and all. It's a sure sign he values your opinion and is seeking a more intimate emotional bond.

10. Makes Fun of You in a Harmless Way
When a guy is into a girl he may make fun of her in a harmless way. This may be his way of trying to get you to laugh. If he starts cracking some jokes at something you have said or did, then this is his way of showing you that he is comfortable with you. Of course, if you think it's getting out of hand, let him know.
***
Teasing is a classic flirtation tactic. It's his playful way to bring a smile to your face while also testing the waters to see how you react to a bit of lighthearted banter. It’s like he’s saying, “I notice these quirky things about you, and I like them.” Be mindful though, if the teasing never turns into genuine compliments, he might just enjoy the banter more than he is into you. Always trust your feelings—if the teasing feels affectionate and makes you laugh, it’s likely his way of showing interest.

Aimi: There is this guy in the same grade as me (I am in Year 7) And sometimes he looks at me and smiles. He randomly talks about stuff like that he needs to go to the toilet and today he asked me to be his partner in sport AND he listened to music with me on my laptop at school with the SAME earphones. Please reply! :3
Moon: Hi everyone, I need some advice! There has been a guy in the library since Wednesday. He has been sitting around me and looking at me. I like that guy too. But, he does not approach to me yet. But if my final exam is over, I won't be able to see him again. Would there be any smart way of giving him my sign saying that I am interested in him too?
Brittney: Ok so theres this guy i like and idk if he likes me. Im kinda insecure about my body but he sees me almost everday and still does the samething. We walk past eachother and sometimes wee accidentley run into eachother upclose and personal. And today we were in P.E. at the weight room and i think he was showing off because I was on the bike and he was lifting weights right in front of me and kept looking at me. I talk alot and got i trouble for talking nd he teased me bout it with sound effects. And he alwys sits near me but behind me. He made me laugh and i think he liked that. He also kept making noises behind me trying to get me to look at him. Idk if he likes me but i like him but im kind scared to go out with him because his ex and i have beef with eachother....btw im in hs 9th grade and we are both 14 . both of us are loud aand trouble makers ... Sometimes he talks to girls and looks at me for a reaction i try not to look md though... Please reply do you think he likes me????
Lauren: Okay so i have this really close guy friend who just broke up with this girl, they both loved each other and they were always on and off he cheated on her yet they still got back together but on and off frequently. He says he hasn't liked me in the past but that was when he still really liked her and now they are permentaly done. He and i are really close and we have been flirting over text but he is hard to read we'll mess around and stuff. he says he likes that I'm not like his ex and he really enjoys being my friend. How do i get him to wanna hook up with me or how do i read him to tell if he likes me. He always jokes about me, we sit at lunch together, we have never hugged or anything, her used to shove popsicles down my throat playfully and he is always smiling at me and we never fight.
