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.
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.
Frequently asked questions
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
He Babbles on when You Are Talking
The both of you talk and talk without allowing any form of silence. Girl, this is a good sign that he is into you. Silence is death. There is nothing worse than sitting there completely silent. Lack of communication is a definite relationship deal breaker! When a guy is trying to connect with you, he will babble on and hope that he gets your interest.
One of the most obvious signs that a guy is into you is that he talks and talks without allowing any form of silence. When a guy is trying to connect with you, he will babble on and hope that he gets your interest. This is a good sign that he is interested and trying to build a connection with you.
It is important to note that lack of communication is a definite relationship deal breaker. If you're not able to communicate and connect with one another, it can be difficult to build a strong relationship. That is why it is so important to have meaningful conversations and be able to talk openly and honestly.
Another sign that a guy is into you is if he is willing to spend time with you. If he is willing to make plans and take you out, it is a good sign that he is interested in getting to know you better. He might also make an effort to learn more about your interests and hobbies, or ask you questions about yourself. This shows that he cares about you and wants to learn more about you.
He Tries to Relate to You
In many ways, the guy tries to relate to you. If he tries to relate to you, then that definitely means that he is interested in you. When guys are interested in you, they share their experiences, interest and even their pet peeves with you. That is him setting up compatibility. The morestuff you do together, the better you will relate with each other.
He's Always Smiling at You
When a guy is into a girl, he will constantly smile at her. Do you catch him doing that? When a guy smiles at you, that is generally indicating some type of approval. A smile is one of the best self-esteem weapons you can find, so use it. Don't be shy!
He Admits Something Embarrassing to You
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.
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.
His Body Language
Is he always leaning in really close? Is he always finding excuses to touch you? Well, his body language is saying that he wants to be near you! Even if he's just got his arms around you, he likes being close to you. Relaxed body language means he's at total ease with you.
He Befriends Your Friends

Men tend to introduce women who they see themselves being committed to to family. He sees you being apart of his future and that's why he has no problem with you meeting his parents! He wants them to get used to the idea of having you around, he wants you to be a part of the family!
He Keeps up with You on Social Media
I think a lot of people agree with me that social media is the easiest way to let someone know you like them. For example, if he's following you on Instagram and constantly "liking" all of your photos, it's a good sign! He likes keeping up with you and how you spend your days!
He Says It
Here's your best sign yet. If he comes out and tells you, that's great! When a guy is really interested, he won't be afraid to admit it. Let him know that you feel the same way!
