How to tell if a guy likes you

PeeWe

Hey everyone

Just wondering how do you know if a guy likes you; I seem to always miss the boat on this one and by the time I realise I lose my chance!

Any thoughts

Well when I'm usually interested in a girl it's probably like the most obvious thing in the world.

I'm a bit of a flirt so I usually flirt away with anyone who I might even fancy a bit, nothing serious now but just would think they're good looking and fun.

Normally there'd be some physical contact like gentle nudges, the sort of thing just to get close to the person. Then as far as the non-physical interation I'd have myself facing the person and listening to what they're saying. Most imporantly talking to the person about things which I'm passionate about is usually a killer sign, far more than talking stupid to anyone.

Hope any of those help. Don't know if they'll be useful as they haven't been working for me too well atall. Ah well practice makes perfect.

Ok, to be kinda blunt here, if a guy likes you then its not like you need to have a degree in the mystic arts!
Guys are more direct simple/creatures, if one likes you then he will pay lots of attention to you, will chat to you on Facebook or text if not in person and will generally be very witty and gentlemanly towards you...

This is not like asking how do you know if a woman likes you or not, now for that you DEFINITELY need a Ph.D. in the Mystic Arts!

Personally, I get alot of female attention and am usually really confident, I get on great with people...BUT, no matter what, the minute I start to get feelings for a girl I'll go into myself and I don't know how to act around her, over think things, nearly avoid her until she starts the conversation with me...to try and seem cool I suppose? As childish as it is, I just can't help it.

Just felt I had to share that, because, you can't always judge a book by its cover! Although I might be the exception to rule that SteveWnder has stated? who knows?

That isnt exactly true some of us guys are just being funny and gentlemanly because we are really just funny and gentlemanly

@ op If you like him than ask him out being forward wont scare him off and if you do scare him away you wont have lost anything in the process. Thats my opinion and it might not apply to this situation ( if you ask him out and he totally changes his attitude towards you than you might have lost a friend if he was one to begin with )

The one thing that I think is a sure fire way of knowing is that they're interested in what you have to say and listen to you and remember things you've mentioned before

This is true. I have a terrible memory but strive to remember things they've told me.

I agree with the physical contact post.

If i like a girl i'll usually end up hugging her if she's leaving to go home/or elsewhere. Or i'll try at least.!

Thanks for all the replys everyone - I dont know what to do.

I would love to ask this guy out (he used to like me I think) we had been in touch and he suggested a night out so I thought great and he was to get in touch . I tried to jump the gun and ask him out only thing is I didnt I asked him to ring me and he never did I know him through family friends so I dont really see him

What to do? :mad:

ill just throw this out there. He might not be interested. Play it cool :cool: as you can around him if you make eye contact smile ( always a good que ) and be friendly and nice with him. If he smiles back and starts taking an interest in being around you / talking to you / staring at you ( yes it happens we stare ) than hes probably working up the courage to ask you out.

Also if you have any mutual friends or acquaintances you know that could pass the word along ( and you trust of course ) then put it out there. They will tell you better than anyone on boards can if he likes you.
