How to Know If a Guy Likes You - 4 Signs He is Interested in You

By Krisvis On January 12, 2009 Under Dating Tips, For Women

Shyness has always posed a problem for many men out there, especially when they want to express their feelings to a woman. As a result, when a man is attracted to a woman, his attempts to show her how he feels will be reduced to only furtive glances in her direction. In such a situation, it is not easy to find out if a guy likes you, so here are four definitive ways to tell.

1) The way he looks at you

Is he constantly glancing in your direction? What is actually going on here is he is starring at you, when he thinks you are not looking at him. This is the most common behavior of a man looking for love. The next time he is looking at you, just make eye contact in order to test this theory. If he keeps looking at you the same way or initiates a conversation with you, then relax and enjoy the ride, but if he keeps turning away then he is definitely a shy guy. He is attracted to you, but you may have to start the conversation, or you may risk missing out on a great guy.

2) Ask around

If a guy likes you, his friends are certain to know. It is human nature to spread the news about who is catching your eye. He may have even asked your friends to find out more about you. Guys generally tend to do that, especially shy ones. So, you can just sit back and wait for the news to reach your ears.

However, sometimes, the process is painfully slow and you find yourself acting impatiently. So, you should let your friends know that you are into him, which should then prompt them to tell you if he has approached them or not. The more people that know about the attraction, the quicker you will find out. Your friends may just end up telling him that you were asking about him, and that can be a great ice-breaker.

3) The body speaks louder then words

The next step is to talk to him. While doing so, make sure to observe his body language, and how he reacts to your words. Some specific actions can say certain things about a person’s character. Scratching your head may express self-doubt, and touching your nose or ear can indicate that someone is lying. By observing these innate behaviors, you will get to know him better. You can then judge if he is your type.
When trying to figure out if a guy likes you or not, pay attention to how he talks to you. Does he appear nervous, and is having a hard time expressing himself? If so, this is a major sign that he has a crush on you. Any doubts you may have can further be confirmed if he agrees to whatever you say. This clearly shows how hard he is trying to please you.

4) The bold approach

Of course, if you are not patient enough and want straight answers, you can just ask him out. This method will only work in some cases. This effectively makes things simpler, and you do not have to put up with gossip, and game-playing. This tactic is good for shy men, but can back-fire. If he is too shy he may not react to you asking him out well. On the other hand he then does not have to ask you out, and therefore feels relieved when you ask him.
If you are unsure that he is into you then you may have to face rejection. Remember what does not kill us only makes us stronger, so pick yourself up, and get out there again, Mr. Right will come along eventually. If the thought of rejection is that horrible then you always have the option to just wait it out.

These steps may or may not help you in finding out a man’s true intentions. However, only with patience and perseverance will you ever know if a guy really likes you, or if he is just looking at you because you have broccoli in your teeth.
