Question Posted Monday September 17 2007, 7:41 pm

Yeah this is pretty kiddish. Because I'm almost 17 but how do you know? I've been talking to a number of guys and yet I can't tell which ones really like me or not. Like what are the signals. Do they say they miss you and stuff? I just want to know some signals on how to find out if he likes me or not. thank you for your help!!!!

OK. What I've noticed is that the more you think that "this guy likes me", the more akward it is around the guy, therefore making it intimidating for the guy.
I would just play it cool, and if he really wants you, then he will flirt more and more and more. (until it gets painfully obvious). Also, see how he is around other girls, or around his best girl friends. Does he flirt with you just like he flirts with them? If so, this is just how he talks to girls and he just likes you as a friend. But once it gets painfully obvious, I'd ask for a second opinion (like a bff) to interpret what your conversations look like from the outside. (My friends always tell me that I'm flirting with a guy really bad or that he's flirting with me and I don't even know that it happened!).

This should make it easier, but I'd just play it cool.
:]

okay so in general simply talking to a guy will not set off any buzzers. i wish we did but we just don't. to know if a guy likes you, in my opinon, you really have to get to know him well. I know personally that i don't feel comfortable telling a girl i like her unless i trust her enough that if she were to tell me that she didn't like me back it wouldn't be a completely humiliating situation. If you do like a guy definetly flirt big time with him. one of the main reasons us guys usually don't say anything is because we have no idea how the girl feels. if you clearly show a guy that your into him then it may releave some stress and he'll definetly be more open with you about his feelings. Hope this helped a little:)

It depends on the guy what the clues are. When guys like you, sometimes they move at different paces.

He's a slow mover if he:
1. always says 'hi'
2. flirts with you...sometimes
3. hangs out with you when other people are around.
If the guy does this, be patient. Be bold and make a move, but don't come on too strong at first or you'll spook him. Like for instance, instead of actually calling him, tell him that you ALMOST called him for (insert reason here). If he likes you, he'll take the bait. Or you could convince one of your gal pals that one of his guy buddies is a cutie and set them up and conveniently tell your potential bf she wants to double up with you but you don't have a date.

He's smitten if he:
1. acts super friendly to you all the time
2. compliments you...a lot
3. conveniently tells you where he'll be on the weekends, but doesn't actually invite you to come too. He wants to see if you like him too, by showing up where you know he'll be.

Other clues:
1. he tries to cheer you up
2. he always tries to make you smile/laugh
3. he seems irritated when you flirt/smile at/etc. with another guy; and when you talk about another guy and will then try to find out everything about him to see if he has competition
4. tries to 'be the man' when you're with him and his buddies
5. he stares at you
6. if he focuses on you in a crowd/ or if he ignores just you when in a crowd
7. if he suddenly takes an accute interest in your friends (he wants to assure they like him so they'll put in a good word for him when he finally makes a move)
8. if he gets tonge-tied or just says the dumbest things just to keep talking to you
9. if he calls for no reason or for some stupid reason
10. if he takes up for you (a way to test this is to have someone you know dis you in front of him and see how he responds)
11. if he likes to play around a lot or tries to tickle you or play wrestle, or accidentally on purpose bumps into you (he just wants a reason to touch you)
12. he remembers things you told him four months ago, like the fact that you hate tomatoes
13. he hangs on every word
14. his pupils dilate when he talks to you.
15. he can't help but smile when your name comes up in conversation (have a friend talk to him about you or just mention that (s)he ran into you and observe how he acts)
16. he'll try to catch your eye from across the room/basketball court/etc.
17. he'll try to protect you

Hope these help.

Hmm... It all really depends on the guy. But here are some signs that most guys show when they like a girl:

They actually listen to you what you are saying, or, they can't uphold a conversation with you because they don't know what to say.

They bring up old conversations that you've had a few days ago, a couple weeks ago, or even longer; they remember things about you. Like if you told them that your favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla, they'd bring it up into a conversation. Or if you never told them what position you play in volleyball, but they come to your games, they might say something like, "Say, I didn't know that you were a setter...".

You'll feel like you're being watched. Once you look at them, they quickly look away, so it's hard to tell when they're looking at you or not. Or, they concentrate really hard on looking at something else in the same room that you are in, so that you don't suspect that they like you, because they're shy.

They might look at their feet when they're talking to you, and it's because they're nervous as to what to say.

They might ask one of your friends or someone else about you.

They might "accidentally" bump into you at random places, like the movie theater, the mall, a restaurant, or somewhere else.

The best way to tell if they like you or not is to make eye contact with them and give them your best smile that you can possibly flash em'.

A. They get shifty eyed, or get a strange look on their face. (Run away fast!)

B. They give you a polite smile. (Just friends.)

C. They give you a huge smile in return, or they start majorly blushing. (Houston, we have a match!)


If you need anymore help, just ask. :)
