1. Glances

clothing,footwear,fashion,spring,gentleman, You catch him looking at you, whatever you are doing.

***

He always seems to be around when you're in the same room. He looks at you with a certain intensity in his eyes, like he's trying to figure out what you're thinking. He often smiles when you make eye contact, and he always seems to be interested in what you have to say. He may even blush when you talk to him. He may try to make physical contact with you, like brushing past you or touching your arm when he's talking to you.

He may also try to find ways to be around you, like asking to hang out with you or joining the same activities you do. He may even try to get your attention by doing things like complimenting you or making small jokes. He may also try to find out more about you by asking questions or talking about your interests.

When you're not around, he may ask your friends or family about you, or he may bring up topics that you've discussed in the past. He may also try to keep up with you on social media. He may even try to find out more about you by doing things like searching for your name online or looking you up on social media.

2. Jealousy?

clothing,denim,jeans,outerwear,spring, You catch a glimpse of hurt when you talk to him about a hot man you met last night, or Brad Pitt. Double score if he then talks about a hot woman.

3. Just Saying Hi

clothing,person,man,male,gentleman, He calls and texts you even when he is out with his friends. You know he’ll be getting grief for this, so it’s a sure sign that he likes you.

***

He's not just checking in because he has some spare time; rather, it's an italicundeniable itchitalic to hear your voice or see your name pop up in his messages. Despite the playful teasing from his peers, he boldboldprioritizesbold making that connection with you. Chatting to you while he is amidst his social circle is his way of saying you're occupying his thoughts, and you're important enough to weave into every part of his day. Your presence is a comfort, and he wants to make sure you feel included, even when you're miles apart.

4. You're Invited

6. Thinking of You

clothing,footwear,leather,street,boot, He texts you randomly. Messages that have no purpose show that he is thinking about you, which is always a good sign.

***

When he sends those little, seemingly insignificant messages, it might just be a casual way to keep the conversation going, but it's also a hint that you're on his mind even when there's no pressing issue to talk about. It's the digital equivalent of a gentle nudge or a warm smile across the room—a subtle yet clear signal that he values your connection. Whether it's a meme that he thinks will make you laugh or a simple "how's your day?"—these small gestures indicate he cares enough to make an effort throughout his day to reach out.

7. Pays Attention

person,sitting,human positions,conversation,NII, He listens to your compliments. Maybe he wears the shirt you like more, or he left his hair longer because you like it better like that?

***

He's not just nodding along; his focus is on you. When you share stories or opinions, you might catch him leaning in, a subtle sign of his interest. His response is more than just a polite acknowledgment—he asks follow-up questions, relates your experiences to his own, and remembers those small details you mentioned in passing. It's as if he's bookmarking parts of your conversations, eager to continue where you left off. This attentive behavior is his way of showing he values your thoughts and enjoys being your confidant.

8. All about You

person,clothing,red,woman,photography, He doesn’t notice when pretty girls walk past. While this doesn’t tend to last, it’s a good sign for now.

10. Sweet and Understanding

fashion,hairstyle,formal wear,龜黎む, He understands your mood swings, and doesn’t hold them against you. Double marks if he brings you a hot water bottle, or chocolate.

11. Memory Game

photo shoot, He remembers your friend’s names, and tries to remember all the gossip you share with him.

12. Just Because

spring,fashion,photo shoot,model, He buys you flowers, or a coffee, or anything, just because.

***

Sometimes it isn't about a special occasion or a grand gesture. It's the little things that sparkle through the routine of daily life – when he picks up your favorite snack on the way to see you, or texts you a song that reminds him of you. These are the moments that signal something deeper; a thoughtfulness and an intuitive understanding of what brings a smile to your face. It's him being tuned in to the subtle details that make you unique, and that's a sweet sign he's truly into you.

13. Thoughtful Gifts

14. Complimentary

clothing,fashion,supermodel,model,photo shoot, He compliments you.

***

When a guy is into you, he'll often find ways to compliment you, whether it's about your appearance, your intelligence, or your sense of humor. It’s his subtle way of showing that he appreciates you and pays attention to the details that make you unique. Note the sincerity in his voice; genuine compliments come from someone who truly values your qualities. And if his words make you feel special and seen, it's a signal that he’s not just being polite—he's interested.

15. Touchy Touchy

dress,leg,fashion,photo shoot,model, He’s not afraid to touch you. Whether it’s a cuddle when you’re feeling down, or just touching your hand or arms while you’re talking, he’s showing you a big sign.

***

Physical contact is a way many express affection and connection. If he's seeking opportunities to be close to you, brushing against you in passing, or playfully poking you as part of a joke, his body language is speaking volumes. This tactile behavior indicates comfort and a desire to be nearer to you. It’s as though each touch is a wordless communication saying, “I want to be close to you,” and it can be a very telling sign of his growing interest and attraction.

16. Right by Your Side

wedding dress,clothing,gown,dress,bridal clothing, He cancels his plans for you. Arranging after work drinks? Suddenly his meetings been rescheduled, and he’s there by your side.

17. Up for Anything

clothing,person,human positions,lady,sitting, He is willing to do girly things with you. Double points if you can make him sit through Sex in the City.

18. Exposes Himself

hair,beauty,hairstyle,fashion,model, He talks about his family. Men are fierce protectors, and he’s exposing himself to you.

***

When a man starts sharing details about his loved ones, it signifies a deep level of trust. He considers you important enough to let you into his personal circle, showing that you occupy a special place in his heart. By telling you about his parents, siblings, or even the quirkiness of his family traditions, he's bridging the gap between acquaintance and confidante. Be attentive and acknowledge this; it's his subtle way of saying you mean more to him than just casual conversation.

19. Flying Solo

photograph,person,woman,photography,beauty, He stays single, despite Gemma from Admins advances...

***

He stays single, despite Gemma from Admin's advances, because he values his independence and enjoys focusing on his own personal growth. He prefers spending time doing what he loves, like exploring new hobbies or hanging out with close friends. When he's ready for a relationship, he wants it to be meaningful and with someone who truly understands and compliments his lifestyle. It's not that he's not interested in dating; he just hasn't found the right connection yet. Until then, he relishes the freedom and self-discovery that come with flying solo.

20. What's His is Yours

photo shoot,interaction,kiss,romance,gentleman, He lets you borrow his stuff, like a stapler, or his meeting room, or his spare toothbrush...

So give him a mark out of 20, and see how high he scores. If it’s over 15, try some mild flirting to test the water. If it’s fewer than 10, try to include him in your life more, from talking at work to going to the pub. Spending time together will increase his chances to impress you!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

there is a guy at my school and he is also my bredren other people say it looks like he likes me also he flirts with me alot but he flirts with other girls to i am not in class but in the mornings when i talk to my friend that is in his class he ask me how i am doing i need alot of help

How can I tell if a guy likes me only as a friend?

i don't know what to do i kind of like him now plz help me

Well I have a crush on this guy.. but first thing's first.. When I first met him he was doing a survey and then so on with the story. Some of my classmates are way ahead of me when we were answering his survey, I was the 12th or something to the last who passed his survey sheet. But then I noticed that he was staring intently on the survey form that I gave him and then he just smiled at me. The other time was when a parade will be held at our campus he was a member of the university band... supposedly he will be sitting around during those time when we were passing nearby but I've noticed that when we were passing by he was staring at my direction and then he stood up and on a spot where he could see the full view of my destination. Then when they we're getting ready for the parade I was inside our caf. while he's outside, my friends told me the he was again looking at our direction, then I've decided to see for myself. But when I turned my gaze towards him he's not looking anymore but he was smiling. Then here comes our college days when I have a vacant subject, me and my friend decided to hang out on the library after our hang out session in the lib we've decided to go to the washroom and on your way to the girls washroom you'd be able to see the sink in the boys washroom. So yeah we we're about to go towards the girls washroom when I saw my crush who is about to wash his hands, but then he stopped and looked at me in the eye, the eye to eye contact lasted for about 12-16 seconds I think (if my friend didn't pull me inside the girl's washroom) and then on our way out he was leaning on the wall and then as I was passing by I heard him said "Beautiful" (which is weird) and then during their basketball game, he was on the bench relaxing and I was walking with my friend when suddenly my friend told me "Hey he's staring at you" I didn't even bother to look at him because I'm too shy. Then there was the Intramurals where his friends would suddenly pop-out from nowhere (near me) and then they would start to appear 1 by one and he's always the last one. IT'S A VERY LONG STORY~ ALL I KNOW IS THAT WHENEVER MY FRIENDS WOULD TELL ME THAT HE'S LOOKING AT ME, I WOULD LOOK BACK AT HIM BUT HE'S NOT LOOKING AT ME....

I dont know why I did this. Maybe because I thought someone will answer me, but it seems no one will. I know that not every one got an answer, but HELP!!!! PLESE!!!! I am desperate for an good answer, not like ago and ask him or anything. I want an answer that drives him to talk to me, without me flirting nor talking nor walking past him many times. I know guys enough to know that, if a girl who interest will not me in their mind. But a girl that not plays hard to get, but seems interest. A guy will do anything that are there to do to make her notice her. If he truly want her, and not just a playboy for him. Just remember IT IS A DIFFERENCE E BETWEEN TO PLAY HARD TO GET! AND TO SEMM NOT INTRESTED!!!!

Umm, I really like this guy,we'll just say his name is Brandon, and I think he likes me too, but I have no idea how to be sure... Okay, he's always flirting with me and my friend sits across the room from us but she faces us, as we face her, and she tells me that he's always looking at me. Also, I was already seated when my teacher told us we could pick our own seats and he darts to the seat that is right in front of me and also faces me( that's how our desks are placed, in groups of 4) and I always catch him looking at me too... But I don't know if he's like this with everyone else too.... Any help?!
