1. Compare His Behavior

Watch his behavior around you versus his friends or other acquaintances. If it’s very obvious that he acts differently around you compared to his friends or just other people in general, he probably likes you and is still trying to figure out how to act around you! This is one of the most important signs a shy guy likes you to look for!

2. He Gets Nervous

There is one particular way that he may act different around you that can almost confirm any suspicions you may have. If he clams up whenever you’re around, can’t look you in the eye, or just generally seems uneasy, there’s a pretty good chance that he likes you! Guys don’t get nervous around girls for no reason!

3. He’s Constantly Popping up Everywhere

If you can’t seem to get away from him, he’s either stalking you or likes you and doesn’t know how to show it. If he’s stalking you, you have bigger problems on your hands, but if he simply likes you and doesn’t know how to show it, try talking to him the next time he randomly pops up!

4. He Loves Texting

Everyone has come across those guys who love to text at all hours of the day, yet when it comes time for face-to-face interaction, he acts like you don’t know each other at all! This is just another aspect of his nerves around you. If you’re feeling gutsy, call him out on it, but if not, just try to talk in person more and more as time progresses.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. Watch His Friends

When you’re around him and his friends, watch their reactions. They may be subtle, but if they even slightly tease him about your presence, you can safely assume that he likes you. If his friends are bugging him about you, you can almost be sure that he has feelings for you!

6. Ask for a Favor

If you think he likes you but want to test your theory to be sure, ask him for a favor. No matter how big or small the favor is, if he jumps to help you out and is more than willing to be of assistance, he probably likes you. There are very few men out there who are excited to do someone a favor if they don’t like the girl they’re doing the favor for!

7. You Haven’t Talked to Him in a While

If you haven’t really had a real conversation since you first met, he may be too nervous to even talk to you! If you see him all of the time but can’t remember the last time you had a substantial conversation, it may just be a sign that he’s too shy or nervous to talk to you!

There's this guy and I'm head over heels for him and I know he feels the same way. He shows all the signs + his friends told me! However we are both excruciatingly shy and awkward so we find it very difficult to talk to each other. Thankfully we have started texting each other and hopefully everything will work out ✨💕

I work at CFA and he would always come in there just to see me but at first, he wouldn't talk to me and now, we hangout all the time & are together. #yayforshyguys

there was this guy who used to work really close to me in a shopping centre. Everytime he walked past he would look in and smile at me and even walk really slowly glancing around just to find me. When he would come into my work he acted so nervous and when I looked up at him he'd quickly look away. I added him on facebook and we chat every now and then. I've asked him out for coffee. He's said yes but then has cancelled at the last minute. This has happened twice. I'm kinda confused ahh!

I met him at this thing for church in my parents communitee and he was their and we took care of the kids together. I didn't like him a lot when we first met but then I got to know him more and I couldn't stop smiling he's shy towards other people but when he talks to me he so flirtatious and sweet but the thing is is that I'm not actually sure if he likes me and my freinds say he does but I'm confused and the fact I'm not sure if in aloud to date ( really strict parents )

There are these 2 guys that confuse me they both act really shy around me and it doesnt make sense that their outgoing with every other person except me. One day there staring at me acting nervous then the next day their avoiding me. My friends catch them staring at me turning red and always smiling when im around but they mess around with other girls. They give me mixed signals. There friends ask if i like him and they tease them. My friends also heard conversations about things. But when i mess with guys they seem really upset. I just need to know if they like me because they confuse me more and more each day.

Well, I met this guy and he is 6 y/o older than men. We first met when I joined the religion event in 1 week, and I was one of his group (he is the leader). I didn't like him when I saw him for the first time btw , but when we handshool he looked at my eyes so deeply and after that he makes me so special, e.g: he aksed whether I alredy have breakfat or not. But 2 months later we didn't get in touch anymore and we met again in dance club but he act like I was a stranger. He only stared at me, untill I approach him first, but I only say Hi and ask about his college and that's all. I didn't go further to him. Now I am confuse, should I move on from him ?

Love it

There's this guy who stares at me for no reason I mean he stares without any emotions. He's a laid back guy and I have caught him staring from the corner of my eye. There was this one time when the hallway was empty and I was walking to class he walked right by me while running his hands through his hair. He's tried to come in my line of vision a few times and he has also done the my-friend-is-going-to-check-you-out thing. I find him attractive and this girl told me he wasn't looking for a relationship. And then at the same time the same girl tells me that he kissed some other girl. (Could be a rumour) I don't know what he wants honestly! I dont know if he stares anymore as school has ended. Help me?

If you are trying to get to know a guy you meet online, how do you get him to take more initiative instead of making you do all the work and keep the conversation going? It doesn't help that I am low on confidence because of guys not looking at me in real life (either that or they're doing a very good job of pretending not to notice me) so I would take a guy's lack of initiative as a lack of interest. Help!
