How do you know if a guy is interested in you? Just because he hasn’t said those three little words doesn’t mean he isn’t crazy about you, but how can you tell without risking embarrassment of asking? Here are my telltale signs he likes you...
1. Glances
You catch him looking at you, whatever you are doing.
2. Jealousy?
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
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.
4. You're Invited
He talks about festivals or gigs he wants to go too, and waits for you to say you’ll go with him. Double points if he actually invites you, especially if they are later on in the year. Making plans with you is a big hint.
5. Getting Personal
He knows your birthday, and where you live, off the top of his head. Double points if he knows your dress size.
6. Thinking of You
He texts you randomly. Messages that have no purpose show that he is thinking about you, which is always a good sign.
7. Pays Attention
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?
8. All about You
He doesn’t notice when pretty girls walk past. While this doesn’t tend to last, it’s a good sign for now.
9. Details
When you go out, he pays an interest in where, whose going and what you’ll be wearing. He might try and make himself sound bored, but really he’s seeing if you’ll be dressing up for (hot) Tom from Marketing.

10. Sweet and Understanding
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
He remembers your friend’s names, and tries to remember all the gossip you share with him.
12. Just Because
He buys you flowers, or a coffee, or anything, just because.
13. Thoughtful Gifts
He buys you a birthday present that you actually like, not just the default maltesers.
14. Complimentary
He compliments you.
15. Touchy Touchy
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.
16. Right by Your Side
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
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
He talks about his family. Men are fierce protectors, and he’s exposing himself to you.
19. Flying Solo
He stays single, despite Gemma from Admins advances...
20. What's His is Yours
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!
