How to Know if a Guy Likes You

Women have an innate ability to feel if a guy likes them. Whether you believe in the power of a "woman's intuition" or not, it's undeniable that females are more in-tune with their feelings than males. The capacity to feel and be more sensitive is basically in the female DNA.

However, no matter how strong your feelings are that a guy likes you, finding ways to confirm, it is still 100% essential. So before you act impulsively and get sassy towards a guy, check out the signs that he's really into you.

Why is it important to know if a guy got the hots for you? For starters, if you happen to like the guy, you can somehow get a little crafty in encouraging him to be honest with his feelings towards you.

A little scheming can work wonders in making guys come up and say; "I like you". As we all know, some guys need a little push to approach a girl they like. It's because they are afraid of rejection, or in some cases, they need more time to come to terms with their own feelings.

If you're racking your brain on how to know if a guy likes you, we can reveal to you the surest indications, so you can prepare for whatever it is that lies ahead. Being certain about a guy's feelings towards you will enable you to assess if there's a chance for romance to develop or if you're better off as friends.

More importantly, knowing that he likes you can also help you determine the kind of treatment that you'll give to this guy – for whatever it's worth.

Here are some tips on how to know for sure if a guy likes you;

1. Be Sensitive With How He Treats You.

He makes you feel special. This is a definite sign that a guy likes you and is smitten by your charm. It is undeniable that girls have a natural ability to tell the difference between a friendly gesture and physical attraction. So don't ignore the signs and try to be more receptive if he's treating you in a very special way.

Does he make sure that you're comfortable? Is he willing to go the extra mile for you? If your heart and mind say "absolutely," then there is a huge possibility that he finds you attractive and irresistible. Otherwise, let's move on to the next pointer to gather more evidence that he indeed finds you special.

2. Observe How He Acts Around You.

He gets fidgety whenever you're around. It may seem funny and quite cute, but a guy usually gets fidgety or slightly jittery whenever his love interest is around. Pay attention to how he behaves when you suddenly appear in his direction.

Casually approach him and ask him a casual question. The key is to catch him off-guard to see how he'll attempt to recover from the situation. If you see a trace of restlessness or nervousness in his actions and tone of voice, then your presence might have caused a huge impact on him.

Is he fidgeting with his hands? Is he getting self-conscious when you look at him in the eye? Does he suddenly stammer and struggle for words? If your answer is a "yes", then it is an indication that you really have an effect on him.

3. How Often Does He Keep in Touch?

He constantly texts you and finds a way to get your attention. Does he routinely send you messages and "react" frequently to your social media posts? If he's constantly trying to find ways to get your attention one way or another, then it's a definitive sign that you are in his thoughts.

He might be wondering what you're doing, curious about what you're up to, or is trying to figure out if you'll respond to his message. So don't ignore his brave attempts to get your attention. There could be something more to his constant visibility other than a friendly gesture.

Does he make it a point to like your social media posts? Does he send you random messages all the time? Is he trying to find ways to connect with you? If you text him back, does he reply immediately? If it's as sure as night and day that he's trying his best effort to stay in touch with you, it could mean that you have his attention.

4. Check Out His Body Language.

If a guy really likes you, you'll see it on his body language. Don't be overly meticulous about it because if he's quite nervous, the signs may not be as apparent or can be a little vague.

Still, a guy who likes you will not cross his arms in front of his body while talking to you and will not stare at his cellphone in the middle of your conversation. He will most likely be responsive to you and give you his undivided attention.

A guy who finds you attractive may also demonstrate an open body language. Examples are; receptiveness, positive attitude, and connection. His body shifts on your direction as he tries to make eye contact with you.

He may likewise demonstrate an open stance (arms open, toes geared in your direction, and body slightly facing towards you) which is a type of posture that is welcoming and open.

If he's on a sitting position, a guy who likes you will never slouch in front of you or cross his arms. He will most likely lean forward in your direction with his arms resting on his front thighs, or sit upright to express a positive body response.

5. Check if He Stares at You.

You catch him staring or looking at you. A guy who likes you will find a way to look at you or check you out when he thinks you're not aware of it. Be a little crafty and try to capture him gazing at you. Otherwise, you may pretend as if you're not aware of the attention you are getting from him and just act cute to captivate him even more.

That's what makes being a girl fun. You can be as playful as you want to see just how much he's into you. If you're interested in this guy, try to win his heart by acting at your best when you know that he's watching you.

The power of a woman's peripheral vision and sensitivity to stares is undeniable, so put yours into action. If you constantly feel the weight of his stares and you notice him peering at you whenever he gets the chance, his behavior strongly suggests that he likes you.

Unless he's acting creepy or you feel uncomfortable, this is something that clearly suggests that he finds you mesmerizing.

6. Find Out How Interested He Is in Your Activities.

A guy who likes you will most likely express his interest in everything you do. Whether it's an outdoor activity, sport, hobby, or fascination for arts and music, he will hang on your every word as you talk about these things.

You'll notice him asking questions and getting increasingly engrossed. If he has the courage, he might even ask if he can join you and take part in your activities.

His willingness to have an involvement in your interest signals that he wants to become a part of your life. This could be his way of establishing a connection with you so you can spend some time together.

Is he showing signs of interest in your activities? How intent is he in finding out what you do during your spare time? Does he make an attempt to join you? His subtle efforts to become a part of your life's pursuits and recreation could mean a lot.

If you believe that you can possibly connect with this guy, spend time with him and allow him to take part in your activities. This will enable you to confirm if he really likes you or if he is just being nice and friendly.

7. Be Attentive About His Moves and Touches.

Intentional and accidental touches may come often if a guy is trying to make a move and win your attention. If you notice him getting touchy-feely towards you, brace yourself because he might be trying to seduce you. Some guys usually have a tendency to see how fast they can make a girl fall into their trap.

So always be on your guard because a guy who likes you could have different intentions in mind. Whatever his motives are, a guy who's trying to win you over will most likely find a way to touch you either intentionally or accidentally.

However, keep in mind that not all guys are the same. Some are bold, while others are shy. Moreover, not all have the same level of confidence. Still, regardless of his personality, a guy who attempts to touch you even in a casual manner is surely smitten by your charm. Pay attention on how he touches you and makes a move. These actions can easily reveal his feelings and intentions for you.

8. Ask Him a Favor to See How He Responds.

Create a plan of action by asking him a favor to find out how he'll respond. It could be as simple as asking him to carry some stuff for you, give you a ride, or volunteer for a project.

You may also ask for personal help that involves spending some time together such as shopping for a male present, buying materials for a project, or organizing an event. If he's willing to lend you a hand and give you a few minutes (or hours) of his time, brace yourself because there's a chance that he likes you.

Any guy who's interested in a girl won't hesitate to help and offer his time. In fact, it is an opportunity that he will most likely jump into in a heartbeat. So if he says "yes" to your request without delay and without having second thoughts, you can give yourself a pat on the back for bedazzling him.

9. Try to Tease or Flirt With Him to See His Reaction.

If you are feisty and spunky enough to tease a guy, make a bold attempt to make him reveal his attraction towards you. Not every girl can pull this off, but if you believe that you have what it takes to put a guy on a hot seat right on the spot, do it by all means.

Flirting with someone who treats you in a special way can potentially heighten up the excitement between the two of you. It could also pave the way to something deeper if you do it right.

To find the quickest answer as to whether a guy likes you or not, a little teasing and flirting can give you the confirmation you need. You may also get a little touchy with him to find out how he responds. A guy who likes you will not pull back or ask you to stop. Instead, he'll gladly welcome your initiative and perhaps, reciprocate the action.

The takeaway: Action Speaks Louder Than Words.

A guy's actions can say a lot about his real feelings. Sometimes, being receptive is all it takes to figure out if he likes you or not. It also helps to pay attention to the little things like how he looks at you, how he behaves whenever you're around, and the kind of treatment he gives you.

Moreover, how you feel whenever this guy is around can give you subtle hints on whether there's chemistry and physical attraction between the two of you. In its simplest sense, you can somehow tell through your gut feel and female intuition. As the saying goes, "energy doesn't lie".

Another thing to remember is that guys have different ways of expressing themselves. However, their actions reveal everything they could not say. Unlike girls, most guys struggle for words; and oftentimes, they also struggle with their feelings.

Therefore, knowing if a guy likes you or not depends entirely on how sensitive and perceptive you are with his actions. If he's quite shady, trust your instincts and be bold enough to make subtle moves to find out for sure.
