Guys do do some really weird things when they meet a girl they like, and sometimes it's hard to figure it out.
Love + men = idiocy
Guys do do some really weird things when they meet a girl they like, and sometimes it's hard to figure it out. Sometimes you might even think that he hates you if you don’t know how to correctly decipher his behavior.
So read and remember. If a guy does anything on this list, then he definitely likes you.
- Every time he is around you, he starts sweating and avoids eye contact. He's very nervous.
- He reacts very strongly when you mention other men. This is ordinary jealousy.
- He laughs at your every word. It's such a nervous laugh, and he might even be worried that you'll think he's a jerk, but he just can't help it.
- He doesn't want to argue with you. If it turns out that you do not agree with him, then he turns on the back and stops arguing so as not to hurt your feelings.
- He writes all sorts of nonsense to you. He just wants to start a conversation with you, but doesn't know how. He can simply ask how you are doing, wish you a good day, or send funny memes.
- He is constantly trying to attract attention to himself. He may say that he goes to the gym, or gets a second higher education. Basically, he's trying to impress you.
- He constantly makes fun of you. This is what those who are afraid to say directly about their feelings do. Yes, this is boyish, typical behavior of a schoolboy, a defensive reaction, fear of admitting that he has fallen in love.
- He's indecisive. He then shows attention, then again goes into the shadows. It's like he's testing the water before he enters it. Although maybe he’s just not sure that you’re worth his efforts.
- If you directly ask him if he likes you, he blushes and denies everything. Although embarrassment is already a rarity today and a sign of truly sincere people.
- You notice that he wants to look cool. He is very worried about looking good to make it clear that he is in demand among girls, although in reality he just wants to draw your attention to himself.
- His friends make fun of him in front of you. They probably know more than you. And usually guys tease each other if they know that one of them is in love.
- His friends constantly praise him to you. Perhaps he himself even asked them to put in a good word for him with you.
- When you say what you like in guys, he tries to show that he fits your criteria.
- He's trying to dispel your stereotypes about him or guys like him.
- You just feel it. Women's intuition does not lie. So just listen to yourself.

Subtle trolling: why do men joke about women? What is the main idea and essence of the jokes, how does male logic work at such moments?
I saw a post on social networks: a beautiful girl writes that she doesn’t believe in friendship with men and will never have sex “as friends” with them. Then she laments that, as they say, there is no friendship with women either, and who should she, the poor thing, be friends with then? Well, go ahead and write in the comments that, they say, you can try to be friends with your head. I was joking, in general... And I thought, why did I write this?
Why do men make jokes about women?
I remembered the phrase that jokes are often hidden fear and hidden aggression.
Such cowardly aggression. At first I really didn’t like this phrase. However, as I realized much later, this was exactly what happened in my case. Fear, envy and anger.
Remember the very beginning of The Snow Queen? About the ugly evil Troll, who made a crooked mirror, where “everything good and beautiful shrank further, and everything bad and ugly stuck out and became even nastier.” Then Troll's students wanted to raise this mirror to the very sky, it fell and scattered into billions of fragments. The fragments got into people's eyes and hearts, and now these people saw everything in a bad light, and their hearts became colder than ice...
For as long as I can remember, I was constantly “burning” and thought it was very cool. I had two for every word, I joked almost all the time, without days off or lunch breaks. "Ugaga 24/7." It was especially hard on my wife, whom I teased endlessly. She was in pain, she said: “Nikitushka, why are you doing this, don’t…”. I answered: “What’s wrong? It’s funny, it’s just a joke, nothing personal... Ha ha ha.”
And it was aggression. By humiliating her, I asserted myself at her expense.
It’s easier to appear taller when you’re putting someone else down.
Especially if the wife is good. Next to someone like this, you can either grow on your own or... tease him. The same with friends, comrades, relatives. I didn’t know how to clarify the relationship honestly and directly, to talk about my feelings, about what I didn’t like, I couldn’t, I was afraid.
So he made a joke. Meanly, on sore spots.
And he himself believed that this was just a “joke of humor.”
But in fact, he laughed at his fears and problems, took revenge on people and life in such a sophisticated way.
True, I was not joking with those who could respond or otherwise fight back.
It turns out that he intuitively understood that it was dangerous here.
And the first of April is generally a black day on the calendar. The real “Day of Evil.”
Have you ever seen a "good April Fool's joke"? Well, so that the person will be pleased later?
For example, money was wrapped in a roll of toilet paper, a man went to the toilet, began to unwind the roll - and the bill fell out, and no one confessed. I've never seen anything like this.
But one time I received a message from a girl that in a community whose goal is to support each other, they decided to help my family and chip in for an inexpensive car. I didn't keep track of the fact that it's the first of April. I cried with joy and gratitude. Literally. At that time I had two sick (one with a disability) small children. But there was no car. I cried. I told my wife. And I received congratulations on April 1st.
Another case: a person close to me sent a message that my phone account had been replenished with a large amount. My phone was turned off then: I had no money. This also turned out to be a “joke”. I cried again. It was very painful.
In general, for the last 10 years I have been trying not to joke with people.
True, witticisms are still born in my head, but I don’t voice them.
Sometimes it really is better to remain silent than to speak.
As a last resort, if you can’t bear it, you can go to specially designated places where some people “burn”, while others enjoy it and pay money. "Comedy Club" is the same. Everything is fair there, no offense.
So why did I write to the girl about friendship? No way. Just a joke. Nothing personal, it's funny...
And to be honest, yes, it was aggression.
First of all, I was jealous.
She has more subscribers and likes than me, although, in my opinion, she writes all sorts of nonsense.
Secondly, I got angry.
The girl in the photo is beautiful and sexy. And out of male solidarity, I was immediately offended for the entire stronger sex. So, I think, like sex “for friendship”, no, no, we’re not friends with boys. And how to get a ride to the airport, assemble a wardrobe from Ikea - so here we are friends “do not spill water”!
Thirdly, I was offended that she seemed to personally show me
: You are friends with beautiful girls just for sex. But this is not so! Or rather, not quite so, there is some truth in this assumption. We’re not talking about sex, of course (I’m married and love my wife), but I really like being “friends” with beautiful, kind and rich women more, and I respond to their call for help much more joyfully and readily than to requests from those ladies who do not have beauty, kindness and money, but really need my help.
It is clear that all my thoughts have nothing to do with this particular girl, maybe she had a post about something else. And all these feelings and internal squabbles are my projections, and in this case I was communicating not with a girl, but with my own sick head.
Is there such a thing as “ecological” humor? In my opinion, yes, it happens.
This is when you joke with love, and your jokes don’t hurt the other person.
Or the object of humor is myself (but in this case you shouldn’t forget about love). And if you joke, “but you don’t have love,” this is not humor, but fragments of the Troll’s distorting mirror.
Sometimes the behavior of men surprises and shocks. After a few days of dating, they begin to behave rather strangely, although at first everything was normal and predictable.
They commit actions that have nothing to do with the situation, they can observe too closely, making you feel awkward, they pay attention to the little things in clothes, they try to give compliments when you don’t expect it. And after some time, especially if his friends appear nearby, they begin to make fun of the girl, and then it becomes completely unclear how to react: either be offended or smile. Because their manner of doing this, the situation in which this happens, puts him in an awkward position and is capable of transferring him from the category of a good friend to the enemy’s camp.
Because the confidence is born that he wants to humiliate you in the eyes of others, to make everyone who is nearby laugh at you.
But don't rush to conclusions. In fact, this behavior is very reminiscent of the period of pulling pigtails at school. Only now it is impossible to do this, everyone has grown up, and age leaves its mark. True, after a certain age, after 35 and older, men no longer behave this way. They know how to express their interest and flirtation in other more acceptable ways.
Those who have not yet reached this age, when they see a girl they like, instinctively do everything to draw her attention to themselves. Their movements and caustic jokes are nothing more than a sign of great interest. This is how they show their feelings. What sometimes they themselves are not aware of. It’s just difficult for them to say it directly, but they can’t remain silent either.
So if you notice how someone in your environment jokes with you too often so that you don’t know whether to cry or laugh, while he does this only in relation to you and his jokes, but in fact flirting, are never aimed, to humiliate or make an evil joke, it means he likes you.
In addition, in your presence, he can sometimes get lost, look away when your eyes meet, talk too loudly and laugh often, be next to you at every opportunity, and is always ready to help. All these are signs of incipient love and a desire for you to pay attention to him and appreciate how wonderful he is.
And here only you can decide what to do. If you do not pay attention and ignore, he may very soon calm down or move on to more decisive steps. If you like him and you don’t mind talking to him more closely, then show interest in him, look him in the eyes as often as possible, joke, and after some time he may finally invite you on a date, not just joke, make you feel awkward and languish in anticipation.
Every woman wants to be loved and adored. When a man looks at his chosen one with delight, it’s worth a lot. For personal life to develop harmoniously, both partners must be sexually satisfied. But at the beginning of a relationship, a woman does not always understand what a man wants from her. To understand, it is enough to carefully observe the young man and correctly evaluate his actions and words. If a man wants a woman, the signs will be quite eloquent.
Some secrets of male psychology
It has long been known that representatives of the stronger and weaker sex differ in nature. Therefore, women should not expect from men what they cannot give them. In order for relationships to develop harmoniously, girls must take into account some of the characteristics of men.
Young people do not know how to vigorously show delight and admiration; they prefer to hide their emotions. Even a small compliment can be regarded as the highest praise. A woman is unlikely to hear words in superlative form.
Almost all men love to interrupt. They do this not on purpose and do not want to offend or belittle their interlocutor. This manner of communication occurs on a subconscious level. A man's brain is designed in such a way that he looks for a solution. Therefore, while the girl is explaining the essence of the question, he can already think through the answer and skip information that, in his opinion, is unnecessary.
When talking with a man, you must first state the main idea, and only then move on to discussing the details.
Young people love to argue, but a woman should not perceive this as a quarrel or disagreement. There is no need to prove anything to a man if the issue is not fundamental. It is much wiser to agree with him and admit the correctness of his arguments.
When a tense situation arises, it is enough for a woman to touch a man and hug him to calm the quarrel. This behavior turns off logic and tunes him to emotions.
Signs that a man likes you
1. He's friends with you
. If he is ready to communicate a lot, provide various assistance and just be nearby, this most likely indicates that he wants to take the place in your life of not only a friend, but also a little more. As research by modern psychologists shows, if a man wants to be friends with you, it means he finds you attractive and considers you as a potential companion.
Why then does he not speak directly about his intentions? Think back to the beginning of your relationship. Perhaps even then you made it clear to him that you were not interested in him as a man. Moreover, for this it was not necessary to voice this thought out loud. Even by your glance or the fact that you slightly moved away from him during a joint trip in transport, he could conclude that he was not interested in you. And now he is afraid to hear the unpleasant truth and thinks, “Let me be next to her, at least as a friend.”
2. “Chance” meeting.
Do you think that in our time a guy is unlikely to stand guard at the entrance of a stranger who has fallen into his soul? You are deeply mistaken. After all, modern men are still hunters. And when the “prey” comes to them on its own, such relationships will not last long. But winning your princess yourself is a manly thing.
And also remember an important point: if a man achieves his chosen one, if he has to make various sacrifices, doubt whether he is needed, then he will value the girl much more, is more likely to propose marriage to her, and will be more interested in preserving the marriage. Not only men, but also women value much more what did not come easy: they met, exchanged phone numbers, and now you can say “She’s mine.”
3. He compliments you and gives you unexpected gifts.
. A man who is indifferent to you would not do this. And it is especially valuable if he gives a gift not for the New Year or March 8, but simply wanting to please you, without a specific date. The cost of the sign of attention is not important. Even if it’s a small chocolate bar or one rose. The main thing is that the guy is not indifferent to you.
With compliments, everything is not so clear. There is a type of man who is used to telling all the women passing by how great they look. If this young man does not belong to the category of womanizer, if he notices nuances in your appearance and character that none of your former loved ones mentioned, this is an excellent sign.
4. He invites you to the movies
. The cinema is one of the most popular places for a first date. In a dimly lit room, even a shy guy can easily find a reason to touch your hand or give you a little hug. But even if the young man did not make any attempts to kiss you, but watched the melodrama you chose to the end, you can rejoice: he was able to sit through the entire “Titanic” only because he was pleased with your presence in the next chair.
5. He touches you
. And we are not talking about intimate parts of the body. Even a touch on the arm, shoulder or back can be sensual and signal: this man is attracted to you, he is not indifferent to you. You yourself can also use the power of touch to let the guy know that his feeling is mutual. Just be careful not to overdo it. Let the initiative still come from him, and not from you.
6. His behavior with you is different than with other people.
. Options are possible here: he can start joking and fooling around, or he can, on the contrary, become shy and silent. He may even start making fun of you, not allowing himself to do this with other people. Don’t rush to be offended or quarrel with him, just think: “Maybe he’s not indifferent to me? Maybe he likes me and wants to get my attention, but doesn’t know how best to do it.”
7. He looks at you more than other girls.
. Moreover, this is not only a gaze when he cannot take his eyes off you. You may also notice that the man steals glances at you, and when he sees that you notice this, he immediately turns away. Exchanging glances is one of the very effective flirting techniques. If a man often stops his gaze on you, pay attention to him.
8. He reacts when you mention the other guy in his presence.
. The reaction may be different, depending on the character and temperament of the man. Someone may start asking directly what you have in common with this young man. A more reserved man will simply have a flash of sadness on his face. Or maybe he will begin to defiantly shift the conversation to another topic, talking about an attractive mutual friend or his favorite actress. In each of the above cases, there is a high probability that the man is in love with you.
9. When he talks about his plans for the future, he mentions you.
. Even when it's not about plans for the next few years, but just about going to a concert next week, if he would like to go with you, then he likes you. You may not be interested in the football match they want to take you to, but if you like the young man, agree, you won’t regret it.
10. He cares about his appearance around you.
. Moreover, this applies not only to neat clothes, which, in principle, every self-respecting man should have. Various little things (hairstyle, tie to match the shirt, watch and fashionable perfume) may indicate that the man wanted to look his best for you. He wants (consciously or subconsciously) for you to pay attention to him.
11. He introduces you to his family.
. Men can date a girl for several months, but if they do not take her seriously, then they are in no hurry to introduce her to their parents and other relatives. If he decides to get acquainted and even insists that you come to Christmas dinner, it means that his intentions are serious, and he sees you as his companion, and maybe even his wife.
12. He tells you about his personal life.
. If a guy tells you details that he wouldn’t trust to his friends or mom, this is a sign that he trusts you. There may be times when you didn't even ask for it. You see: he makes you understand that he is single and his heart is free. You have a chance to become his girlfriend.
13. He copies your gestures
. Of course, all this does not happen intentionally. For example, during dinner at a restaurant, his hands take the same position as yours. He becomes, as it were, your “mirror”, copying your gestures, rate of speech during a conversation with him, and even facial expressions. If you notice this, know: he is interested in you and he is trying to please you.
14. He protects and supports you
. Moreover, his help can manifest itself in small things: throwing his jacket over your shoulders so that you don’t freeze, giving you his umbrella, and walking in the rain yourself. If a guy sacrifices his plans in order to take your beloved cat to the veterinarian, it means he is in love with you. It is unlikely that he would make sacrifices simply because of his selfless nature.
15. He shows off his cooking skills
. If a guy tells how he perfectly cooks pizza, pasta, or even just deliciously fries potatoes, while offering to taste his culinary masterpiece, know: the love story is very close. Don't forget to praise his dish, even if it turned out to be imperfect from the point of view of an experienced cook.
We hope that our advice will help you decide about a man’s feelings based on indirect signs and you won’t have to ask the question, so unloved by the stronger sex, “Do you like me?”, which will immediately lower your position in his eyes by several points.
The most valuable thing is actions!
The behavior of a man who wants a woman is quite predictable. He will look for meetings with her, call after dates, give flowers and gifts. You should not agree without making sure that the young person has intentions. If he is, he will definitely prove it with his actions and actions. And when a man needs one-time sex, he is unlikely to court for a long time and seek the attention of his passion. Women should remember this so as not to experience a bitter feeling of disappointment later.
How to understand that a man likes you? Family psychologist, interpersonal relationship consultant, director of the dating agency “Me and You” Elena Kuznetsova tells the story.
Why does a man get pleasure when he offends and hurts women?
But as practice shows, men make bad conspirators, and in order to understand whether he loves you or not, it is not at all necessary to develop paranormal abilities.
There are things that unmistakably reveal the behavior of a man in love, so you don’t need to be at a loss, because you just need to carefully analyze the actions and emotions of your chosen one.
Ten signs that a man is destroying you No matter how strong and courageous, confident and charismatic, attractive and bright a woman is, at some point she may find herself in a situation of psychological violence. How can you not miss this moment and understand that they are trying to manipulate you? How to change the situation in your favor in time and regain harmony, optimism, confidence and continue to enjoy life. How does a man behave if he likes a woman? Sight.
People fall in love in different ways. Sometimes this is a moderate feeling that can even be confused with friendship. Sometimes this strong attraction is like passion. And sometimes it's something that turns us into complete idiots. When this happens to a girl, she becomes obsessive, talkative, crazy or shy.
When this happens to a guy, he becomes simply stupid and can make terrible mistakes. Sometimes these mistakes are so incomprehensible that the girl may think that he hates her rather than loves her. And more often than not, all the girls just don’t understand such actions of guys in love, and therefore leave them.
So it’s better to learn to understand the behavior of a man who is madly in love:
1. He gets lost.
Even an adult man who is in love can again turn into a boy and, at the sight of a girl, begin to stutter, blush, and sweat excessively. It’s difficult for him to say something, and a guy who doesn’t say anything has no chance of winning a girl.
2. He constantly talks about himself.
He tries to convince the girl how good he is and why she should choose him. No, he doesn’t talk about it directly, but he constantly talks about his achievements - with the best intentions. But, unfortunately, to a girl he may seem like a selfish narcissist.
3. He acts like a macho man.
He is trying to show that he is the coolest here in order to impress the girl. To do this, he can even humiliate others and show off his muscles. But it's funny and never works.
4. He begins to brag about how many women he has had.
This is usually what sexually insecure guys do. But this doesn’t work on girls either, because they don’t want to become just another guy with him.
5. He tries to hurt the girl.
When a guy is completely stupid, inexperienced or just a fool, he tries to attract the girl’s attention by offending her with something. It could even be an insult or a challenge. Needless to say, this will not help in any way to gain her favor?
6. He talks too much.
When someone is too nervous, they may say anything, even some nonsense. Just calm him down. He is very afraid of upsetting you.
7. He doesn't take no for an answer.
Sometimes guys start acting like they do in romantic movies and don’t want to accept a girl’s refusal. They think they can still achieve it. But the reality is that you need to respect the choice of another.
8. He becomes preoccupied.
Some guys think that if they talk about their manhood or sexual achievements, it will turn a girl on. Nope. This is exactly the reason why such guys are alone.
Many girls at least once in their lives asked the question “Is he in love with me?” You pestered a close friend or colleague with this question. They went over in their memory all the words that he had said that day and racked their brains in vain over the cherished question. There are several main signs that mean that a guy is in love with you and now we will look at them.
He always wants to be your partner
If there is some kind of joint task, be it a paired test at school or college or a joint task at work, he always wants to do it with you. You think that this is because you are an excellent student or in good standing with your boss, but not at all. He just wants to be closer!
Asks to go for a walk
This does not mean that every guy who asks you to go for a walk is in love with you. No, but if he often suggests going for a walk (to go together to the dining room, the smoking room, the library), citing the fact that he is bored and has nothing to do. And if this point coincides with other signs, then you can safely conclude that he is in love with you.
Constantly teases you
In this case, men can be divided into two groups:
- those who will be silent and afraid to say an extra word when falling in love;
- those who will constantly tease and joke with you
Therefore, if a guy constantly jokes with you, this is one of the signs that means that he is in love with you. He is interested in your reaction to his sense of humor. And he slowly but surely learns what and how you react to.
He looks all the time
Have you noticed his gaze on you more than once? But when caught, he averted his eyes. This is his game, a modest flirtation aimed at you. Such a look can only mean one thing: this guy is in love with you and is very interested in your special one. No one will just waste time looking at something they don’t like - remember that!
As close as possible
If you are in the same room with him, then he always tries to take a place next to you or not far away. Or when you are at the same table, he sits next to you. If you ask him something, he tries to come close when explaining. He is magnetically drawn to feel closeness to you. And, as it becomes clear, this is not without reason! The desire for maximum intimacy is another sign that a guy is in love with you.
Asks you for help
He constantly asks for your advice, even on issues in which you do not specialize. He may even ask for relationship advice, although he is not dating anyone. This is a very significant sign, since it is very difficult for men to ask for help or advice. But if he still turns to you, then it’s not just like that.
He listens and remembers
If he remembers exactly the date of your birthday or the stories you tell. And also remembers some preferences in food or something else. Or perhaps he can even tell you what you said last week. Then you know, this guy is really in love with you!
He makes you laugh
There is nothing more pleasant than the smile and happy laughter of a loved one. So, if the guy you're interested in makes you laugh all the time. If he tries to bring a smile to your face when you are sad, this is the surest sign that this guy is in love with you.
There is such a funny saying: “If you stand and look at a girl for a long time, you can see how she gets married” (c). It may be that the guy you are interested in is very shy and timid.
Is it possible to accurately determine whether a guy likes you or not? Sometimes uncertainty can simply drive you crazy, and at all costs, you want to understand it. And if you want to be 100% sure that a guy is interested in you before “making a move towards him,” this is understandable and quite natural. Why make yourself look like a “stupid” if you can avoid it... How do you know if a guy likes you?
I'll tell you what most guys do and how they show themselves when they like a girl, even if they want to hide it to look "cool". There are always signals that give out.
There are many subconscious signals that are almost impossible to hide, this is natural behavior when a guy feels something for a girl.
In addition to the obvious signs, you can also find some less obvious ones on this list. They will reveal his real desires that he is trying to hide, not only from you, but perhaps from himself too!
Obvious symptoms
It is difficult not to notice that a man with whom you have been communicating for a long time is suddenly trying to become something more than a friend for you, because in such a situation the man’s behavior changes greatly. One minute he behaved normally, and then he started sending signals “special for you.” That is, if you sit together at the table, he tries to actively look after you: he pours wine, adds food, and so on. He definitely tries to look into his eyes - on any, even the most insignificant, occasion. And when he clinks glasses with you, he also makes eye contact. A man in love is also trying to touch you: straighten your hair, brush a speck from your clothes, touch your hand. How frank these touches are depends on the man’s level of impudence, his age and sophistication.
In addition, the man will try to walk you home after a joint banquet or “accidentally” run into you on the street and offer you a ride, and so on.
Sometimes increased attention from a man turns out to be destructive. A representative of the stronger sex constantly “clings” to a woman and can bring her to tears, even in public. It is curious that often this behavior also occurs. It's like a junior high school student who hits a girl he likes on the head with a textbook.
“, but still this behavior is more connected with the internal culture and upbringing of a man. Most often, such representatives of the stronger sex grew up in an incomplete family. Or there were problems with my mother or older sister. It is possible that unhappy love also left its mark. And now he cannot contain his emotions, because he likes the girl, but he is afraid that she will reject him, like other ladies. He gets mad and that’s why he’s rude,” Elena Kuznetsova explains the situation.
The psychologist, however, notes that a man’s aggressive behavior towards a woman is not always hidden love. Sometimes rudeness can be just rudeness. A lot depends on what kind of woman we are talking about. If she is an “ugly duckling” and knows it, then most likely she has become the victim of another scoundrel. But if a girl is approximately the same age as a man and is not ugly, then in 97% of cases the man does not breathe smoothly towards her.
So, how to understand that a guy likes you:
- He says this
Are you kidding? Not at all. I see, what could be more obvious than this?! But, the guy who tells you, “I like you. I love you." He's probably not lying.
Another question is that he puts “like” into it! Does he want you to be together, or does he just want to get you into bed, at which point he'll just tell you, " I'm sorry, but it's over."
«.
- He asks a lot of questions
He's obviously trying to carry on a conversation with you. He is trying to get to know and understand you. Thus, he continues to ask, and ask... Many questions may not be entirely clear or illogical, but he tries to keep the conversation going and avoid awkward pauses.
He may just ask some questions out of politeness, but as soon as you notice that he is asking not only out of necessity, it means that he is interested.
That is, you shouldn’t think that he’s head over heels in love with you if he asked you: “How are you?” Use common sense.
If he doesn’t like you, he won’t look for meetings with you or start an idle conversation unless he really needs something (for example, help with something).
But remember, when he sincerely asks questions, tries to get to know you more, digs deeper and deeper, this is a really good sign.
- He finds common interests with you
One of the reasons he asks a lot of questions is because he wants to get some information about you that he can use to hook you. If you say that you like... And he goes on and on, telling how he loves the same music, movies, or something else just like you, he (perhaps subconsciously) is trying to prove that you suit each other and have common interests.
A guy who likes you, as a rule, will not get into an argument; on the contrary, he will seem pleasant and try to be likeable.
If there's a lot of "I like that too" in your conversation, it's a good sign that you might be compatible.
- He leans over
When you talk to him, he leans towards you. Even if he hears you perfectly. You might be in a bar or club with music on, so he'll have to lean in to hear you. But still, if he makes an effort to hear you and be closer, this is a great sign. Look at the amount of effort he puts into talking to you. This is the easiest way to determine his attitude. Pay attention to his body movements, gestures, to what his subconscious says.
A normal guy who isn't trying to "act cool" will usually show a lot of subconscious signs and try to get closer to you.
He may also act "cool" around you, but just because a guy acts like he's not interested in you doesn't mean he actually feels it (more on that later).
- He approached you
Another obvious thing. Yes, but there are some “buts”. If he "accidentally bumped into" you, he probably liked you... Or your girlfriend! And he's just using you as a strategy to get closer to her. Who knows? Either way, a guy who approaches you in a coffee shop or bookstore, etc. obviously finds you cute.
When he starts a conversation, you can ask yourself why he didn't approach someone else. If, most likely, he specifically chose you, then this definitely means something.
- His behavior changes when you're around
Watch him when he is with friends or with other people. How does he behave? Does his behavior change when you're around, or is he 100% the same as he was?
This tends to happen to younger, less experienced guys.

- He completely ignores you
Some guys use the "I don't care" strategy. So they try to be different, that's their way of thinking.
But he will talk to you alone when no one is around. He probably really likes you, but he doesn't have the courage to approach you when you're surrounded by girlfriends or other guys.
He needs you to give him a sign (just watch!) that you are open to talking to him.
Anyway, often when a guy “sort of” ignores you, it’s because he’s either not interested in you or he’s very interested. It's a trick as old as time.
Think about it, in a normal situation where a guy is not interested in you, he will be normal towards you, and may well make normal small talk (depending on the situation), but he will not (usually) completely ignore you.
Guys show mixed signals when they try to hide how they feel. Look for various deviations in behavior. Anything unusual is usually a good sign.
- His body language gives away = he turns to you
You can judge his likeability by his body language when he's around. Does he straighten his back or push out his chest in an attempt to appear more masculine? Some guys try to hide their interest; others, on the contrary, show it openly.
It all depends on the degree to which he is confident in himself. The problem is that most guys don't want to fall on their face and don't want to take risks. Especially in situations that may have social consequences - at work or school, or if he is a family friend, etc.
- He treated you
In some cultures, it is normal for a man to treat a woman. If you're with a group of friends and he buys you something, it doesn't mean anything. But then again, if it's just the two of you and he insists on paying, either he's just a gentleman in general, or he likes you.
Watch him, does he treat his friends?
If he does this, he's just a generous guy in general and considers you a friend. But if he only pays for his own things and then treats you, then that's a clear difference. But here another question arises, if he is stingy, maybe he is not the guy you would like to be with?
Again, it really depends on the location, if you're at a bar and he buys you a drink, he might be trying to get you drunk. In this case, you need to be careful.
- He asks for your number
This is another obvious sign that indicates sympathy. Sometimes!
Use logic. If he finds a relatively stupid excuse to get your number, he might want a way to stay in touch with you and ask you out on a date in the future. When he takes your number, and there is a really good reason for this, then perhaps it is the only reason for everything. Nothing more.
- He found and added you on social networks
Just one of the “evidence”, which, of course, may not mean anything. But if he sends you messages, likes photos, then this may already mean something. Look for more clues, dig further.
- Tries to kiss you
There is nothing to explain here, everything is already clear. Even if he was tipsy, it only revealed his subconscious desire. No matter how much alcohol he drank. It's clear that if he wants to kiss you, it means he likes you, anyway. The only question is whether he wants a serious relationship with you or just to spend one night?!
- Hey, my eyes are here!
He knows where your eyes are. But your breasts are like a magnet, and sometimes it’s hard for him to control himself.
Just look at his eyes and where they are looking... No matter how hard he tries to look disinterested, his gaze will tell a lot. When you pass in front of him, he will look you up and down.
When you speak, he looks at your lips, and does this often... He likes what he sees! The easiest way to determine whether a guy likes you is to look into his eyes. What does he look at when you talk?
- Lots of eye contact
Of course, if he's not checking out your body, he might like your face. He will look into your eyes when you speak, and he will hold his gaze a little longer than other people, but not enough to arouse suspicion.
- He turns away
If you catch his eye and he quickly turns away as if he's busy doing something, that's a great sign. Just think, he was a little nervous about you or trying to hide his interest. This usually happens when you still don't know each other very well. In case you know each other, he probably won't look away... in this case, he will hold eye contact, smile, or ask something to keep the conversation going.
- He smiles or laughs (a lot)
Simply smiling does not mean sympathy. But when no one said anything particularly funny, this can serve as a signal.
- You have a boyfriend?
Guys rarely ask this question unless they have sympathy. In any case, there must be a reason for such a question. I mean, if he doesn't have feelings, he doesn't care if you're alone or not. This is an easy way to understand whether you are free or not.
If he doesn't ask directly, it may be indirect or implicit. This is another clear indicator that he is interested. Again, this is just one of the signs that you need to note to yourself. The question itself, of course, means nothing.
- Agrees with everything
With everything you say. He may not have his own opinion, but perhaps he is doing this to make you feel like “you have so much in common.” It may be too good to be true.
It's good to have similar views on life, but it's also normal to have different opinions. Disagreeing on difficult issues can be really fun and educational!
- Gets nervous when you're around
When someone is nervous, you can get it. These emotions jump from one person to another... Look for signs of nervousness in him when he is around you. When the conversation stops there is awkwardness, there is tension between the two of you and he seems to be thinking “what should I say next?” If yes, these are all good signs.
If he is not interested in you, he will not care how he looks from the outside and will not be nervous.
Overcoming embarrassment
A man who likes a woman, regardless of his experience and arrogance, will be insecure and timid around her, and all because. This is a serious blow to self-esteem. Not every man will decide to openly court the girl he likes. A representative of the stronger sex who is not too confident in himself, for example, looks for a suitable excuse to demonstrate his sympathy. For example, he will give up his place in line in the dining room or in another similar situation he will try to “signal” to the girl that he likes her and that he makes her stand out from the rest. After this step, he will observe the woman’s reaction and, perhaps, wait for her to respond.
“Men have repeatedly told me that they wanted her to be in a relationship, but at the same time not to be very active and not run ahead of the locomotive. The trouble is that it doesn't happen that way. A woman is either active in everything or waits for initiative from a man,” says Elena Kuznetsova.
The director of a dating agency advises women, if not to be active in developing relationships with men, then at least to show sympathy if the gentleman is “reaching out” to you. For example, if a man made the first step towards you, take a reciprocal step on your part. It will be unobtrusive, and at the same time, your boyfriend will receive a signal that you like him, and he will be given the go-ahead for further actions.
A man tries to hurt
Take a close look at his eyes. Are his pupils dilated? If yes, then luck is on your side! The wider the pupils, the better.
A closer look adds chances. Now move away.
If he cares about you, he will look at your whole body, but at the same time try not to let you catch his eye. Head. An interested person will tilt their head to the right or left. How to hurt the pride of a loved one? (1 of 2) Offending and upsetting the people closest to your heart is always difficult.
However, sometimes moments arise when you simply need to touch a nerve.
Self-love is the weakest point of every person.
And the easiest way to use weapons against this place is among people close and dear to us.
Who else, if not us, should know about all their weaknesses and disadvantages? So, you decided to touch a nerve.
This begs the question, how to hurt the pride of a loved one? You should never rush for this.
Nonverbal signs
Most often, when you enter a room where your admirer is, he is nervous. He begins to straighten his jacket, tie, hairstyle, and may twirl his car key fob on his finger. In a word, perform any nervous actions. Take a closer look, if a man behaves in such a strange way every time he meets you, this may indicate that he is not indifferent to you.
When talking to you, a man who really likes you will communicate with you, not standing half-turned, but will turn his whole body around.

How do you know if a guy likes you?
- He's trying to be alpha
Shy guys will be nervous around you. But more confident guys may try to show their masculinity... Or show their superiority - (money), knowledge, or something else that distinguishes them.
Look for something, some oddity. He will either be shy or an expressive extrovert who tries to show off his best “features” - whatever he thinks you might find attractive.
- Protects you
You began to notice that when people jostled you on the street, trying to pass you in a crowded place, he positioned himself in such a way that they would not touch you; he's trying to protect you to some extent.
He will take your hand and walk ahead to push the crowd away. This is another sign of affection - he will protect you.
- Becomes jealous
When you talk to other guys and especially laugh. You can see jealousy on his face or read it in his behavior. Just watch. He will try to look funny, but with one eye he will be checking you and how you respond to other guys.
He could sigh, get angry, or make a capricious face. Try to understand these little clues.
- remembers your name
Let's say you met him one day, in the company of your mutual friends...
And, when you met again, he remembered (surprisingly) your name. So at that moment, you were significant to him.
It is also possible that he has a good memory (plus he is smart). Most guys don't remember names, especially when visiting.
Seriously, if he remembers your name, that's a good sign.
- Remembers your birthday
Social networks have one useful function: they remind you of friends’ birthdays. Imagine, if there is no information about your birthday on the Internet, how many people would know about it, or, more precisely, remember it? And so he sends you a message with congratulations on VKontakte! If he's not wishing all his friends a happy birthday, he might just be trying to move the conversation forward. Answer him and see how he keeps the conversation going.
- Trying to impress
You can think what you want, but a guy who bragged about his job, car, money, clothes, achievements, etc. is lame (because cool guys know they're cool and don't have to show it).
But he also wants to impress you!
Either way, there are many different ways to impress someone, and trying to present yourself in a good light can signal that he likes you.
- He initiates a dialogue
Let's say you're at a party with a bunch of people. He randomly starts talking to you, asks a question, or smiles.
It doesn't mean he likes you; maybe he's just being polite. On the other hand, does he do the same with other women around him? Always pay attention to how he treats other women around, is his attitude different? Yes? Then this guy feels sympathy.
For shy guys who are waiting for the right moment to show their interest, throw the bait and wait for a reaction. Provide an opportunity, and at this time you can observe and check if he has feelings.
- Makes fun and teases
Constantly mocks you and finds something to hurt you with? If he jokes with you, trying to make you laugh, or there is sarcasm in his words, this is a signal for you.
A guy almost never teases a girl he's not interested in. This could be one of the types of flirting (not entirely a good option, of course, but what can you do). Either way, it's a sign of interest.
- Lingers one second longer
When you run into him on the street, at work, at school, at a party, in a club, on a bus, wherever you are - you start talking to him, and then... There is a moment when he is about to leave and then... there is this one, tiny little second. He stays a little longer, as if he wants to stay or see you off. Then he leaves. Look at this moment.
Very often, men do not admit their feelings, even if they consider you the best in all respects and dream of growing old next to you. It would be easier if they voiced their thoughts out loud. But often a man disguises his true attitude towards a girl with caustic jokes or ostentatious indifference. So we girls have to wonder: “Does he really like me?”
If a man likes a woman, signs will confirm this pleasant fact. Our article provides 15 main signs that will make it clear that a guy is not indifferent to you.
There was an error
Do not rush to make quick conclusions about the emerging sympathy for you. What if you mistake certain actions of a man for intimate signals? Watch the man’s behavior, try to mirror him. If he smiles at you, smile back. If he touched you, touch him too. If the gentleman “seized” on the signs of attention shown on your part, then you can celebrate your victory. If not, you misunderstood something, wishful thinking. Perhaps this man really treats you well, but you are far from being the object of his dreams. It is possible that he was simply in a good mood and decided to flirt a little. Or he is interested in you in a business sense, and feels sympathy for you not as a woman, but as a business partner.
If you have questions for psychologist Elena Kuznetsova, you can ask them by writing a letter to the editorial office of AiF-Vladimir:
Relationships under a microscope: or what a man does if he likes you
What's next? Be receptive to his signs of attention.
If he shows genuine interest in you (for example, he often smiles at you as you pass each other or he changes his path to greet you), be mutually friendly and polite. If you've already decided that he's the one you'd like to date, don't wait too long on your decision before it's possible for the two of you to meet and talk in a private place.
