Gone are the days when you were told that if a guy is mean to you and makes fun of you or mocks you, it means that he has a thing for you. Times have changed now and if a guy is mocking you or disrespecting you, it simply means that he’s a d-bag and not worth it. So, don’t listen to such futile advice, and no reason to pass it on to anybody else either. Instead, focus on actual signs he likes you; we have a list of that curated just for you:
How Do You Know There Are Any Signs At All?
You will know Sometimes, the case tends to be such that the other person is an introvert and too shy to directly communicate their feelings conspicuously. And this is not only the case when it comes to conveying romantic feelings, it is so in general as well.
This is why the guy might not always be able to be loud and clear about how he feels about you. But that does not mean he won’t drop hints to let you know. At times, he might even drop off hints of him having a thing for you unintentionally. But either way, sooner or later, this pattern gets easy to notice which is why you would be able to identify whether or not there are any signs to pick up in the first place.
6 Signs A Guy Likes You
Here is a detailed guide on what kind of hints are there and how to identify them.
1. Secret Stares
This is one of the most obvious yet underrated aspects of a guy liking you because secret stares often tend to go unnoticed. If you catch him looking at you while you are busy doing something or if you notice that he is getting lost in the middle of a conversation that you two are having, then that means that he is secretly staring at you and admiring you.
Focus on the way he reacts when you catch him staring at you; he will most likely turn his head abruptly or start trying to come up with something to divert the topic. And if he does that, well then, he has a thing for you, or he is starting to.
2. His Sense of Humor
How is that relevant? Believe it or not, it is highly relevant to him liking you. One of the biggest signs he likes you is if he is genuinely trying to make you laugh. And you will notice that if he can break through and make you laugh for real, then he would feel happy too, and it would easily get radiated on his face. All in all, if he is trying hard to up his humor game and is always telling you jokes or something funny, then he cut him some slack because all he’s trying to do is drop a hint that he has a thing for you.
3. Wants to Spend Time with you
This might not sound like a big deal but in reality, it is. Nobody has free time to simply waste it or spend it with somebody they don’t want to. So, unless and until he does not have any work to do whatsoever if he is looking for ways to try to spend whatever free time he gets with you, then he does consider you important enough, ergo, has more than just friendly feelings for you; because let’s face it, no one always looks for reasons to hang out with “just friends”, now do they.
4. Asks you About you
Subtle things like asking you about how your day went, whether you had proper food, what plans you have for the next day, etc., are clear-cut signs he likes you because if he wasn’t genuinely interested in your daily life, then he wouldn’t showcase it either. If he is trying to know more about, keeps asking you about your favorite things, dreams, and ambitions, then he is simply trying to get to know all about you because he is curious along with his infatuation and interest are building up.
5. Talks to you Frequently
