1. He Texts You when He is out
One of the main signs he has a crush on you is simply if he puts time into texting you. If he is sending you cute messages or is interested in how you are doing while he is out with the boys, there is a very good chance he is smitten. If a guy is out with the boys, he will not message you unless you are on his mind. And if you are on his mind… well that’s pretty obvious, he likes you.
***
It's not just the amount of time he spends texting you that can be a sign of his feelings, but also the content of his messages. If he is sending you compliments, asking about your day, or sending you funny jokes, it's a sign he's interested in you. Additionally, if he's sending you messages late at night or early in the morning, it could be a sign that he's thinking of you. If he's also asking to hang out with you or inviting you to do activities together, it's a sure sign he has a crush on you!
2. He Gets Nervous
A guy will NOT get nervous around a girl without having some sort of feelings for her. So, if you notice your crush gets a little sweaty from the forehead, or stumbles over his words around you, chances are pretty good he has a thing for you.
***
If your crush is exhibiting signs of nervousness around you, it could be a sign that he is interested in you. Other signs of interest that he may display include increased eye contact, finding excuses to touch you, or talking about shared interests. He may also try to impress you by talking about his accomplishments or by making jokes. If he is interested, he may also try to spend more time with you or find ways to make you laugh. If you are unsure, you can always ask him directly about his feelings.

3. He Hugs and is Touchy with You
If you find him slightly touching your shoulder or placing his hand on the low of your back, which can be a strong sign he has a thing for you. A guy friend wont be overly touchy or go out of his way to stand next to you in a group. If you find him always next to you and paying close attention to your needs within a group of friends, well you should know the rest.
4. He Invites You out
Guys are pretty territorial. So if you get to meet his crew and some of his close friends, it means you are in. Whether it is for a serious thing or not, the point is that you are in. This is a great way to then get close with his friends who will then talk to him about you. If this guy is calling to invite you out to the Friday night get together at his friends, you can count that as a very good sign!
5. His Eye Contact
Do you find him staring (lovingly not creepily) at you during class? Or do you often catch him being very interested in everything you say? It is because he genuinely wants to know what you are saying and he is showing interest. This is a good sign. He is taking the things you say into consideration and shows that your opinion matters.

Do you find him staring (lovingly not creepily) at you during class? Or do you often catch him being very interested in everything you say? It is because he genuinely wants to know what you are saying and he is showing interest. This is a good sign. He is taking the things you say into consideration and shows that your opinion matters. Extended gazes can also indicate a deeper admiration that goes beyond mere interest. Subtle smiles or dilated pupils can be physical cues that he feels a connection with you. Pay close attention to how he looks at you in different settings; it could reveal his growing affection.
6. He Gets Jealous of Another Guy Friend
Okay so some guy friends are pretty protective of their friends, I get that. But there is a difference, and you can tell. If you are out at a bar chatting a guy up when your ‘friend’ sees you and comes over to make sure everything is okay, yeah he is into you. If he is just a friend, he will hands down leave you alone and let you do your thing while he goes and does it with some other girl.
***
Jealousy is a huge signal, no doubt. When he's shadowing your every move, especially when it involves other potential rivals, it screams he cares—a lot. It's not just protective instincts; it’s his way of saying, "Hey, I don't like sharing attention." And if he’s throwing sidelong glances your way whenever you're deep in conversation with another man, bingo. That’s not casual observation; that's someone who's worried about losing their special spot in your life. It's like he's silently shouting, "I wish she was talking to me like that."
7. He Compliments You
Do you find him throwing out sincere compliments each time you see him? If he starts to act a little weird in that way, chances are he had a change of heart. Now this isn’t if he says you look nice, this will be constant and every time he sees you. This can also be a tell tale sign if he laughs at everything you say and starts talking about you with his friends.
***
This is a clear sign that he has a crush on you. He may start to find excuses to talk to you or hang around you, and he may start to pay more attention to his appearance when he knows he will see you. He may also laugh at your jokes more than usual, or even blush or act shy when you talk to him. He may also start to talk to his friends about you, or even try to find out more about you from mutual acquaintances. All of these signs point to him having a crush on you, so if you’re wondering if he likes you back, take note of these subtle signs.
8. Light Teasing
Compliments are always something that he might give you, but what about teasing? Does he tease you lightly? Does he pull some jokes on you that he knows you would find funny and plays right into your personality? It's proof that he has a crush on you!
***
Light teasing is a subtle way to show that someone has a crush on you. It is a form of flirting that involves playfully making fun of someone in a joking manner. It can be a sign that the person is comfortable enough with you to joke around and feel confident that you will take it in the right way. It is also a sign that the person is paying attention to you and your personality as they know what kind of jokes will make you laugh. Light teasing can be a sign that someone has a crush on you, so if your crush is teasing you, it might be a sign to take things to the next level.
9. Is Comfortable around You
The comfort level of a guy is really important. It's hard for a guy to open up around friends that are girls, much less sink into a routine. If your friend is so comfortable around you that he opens up so, so much -- that's a sign that he has a crush on you and likes you more than just a friend!
***
If your friend is so comfortable around you that he opens up and shares his feelings and thoughts, it could be a sign that he has a crush on you. He may also laugh more at your jokes, make an effort to be around you, and pay more attention to you than other friends. He may also start giving you compliments and take an interest in your life. These subtle signs may indicate that he has a crush on you and likes you more than just a friend.
10. Knows Your Likes & Dislikes
While your friends do know your likes and dislikes, he takes it one step further and knows the perfect Christmas and Birthday gift to get you. He makes mental files of exactly what you like, dislike and things you've mentioned.
***
He pays attention to the small details when it comes to you. He remembers the conversations you have, and takes note of things you mention in passing. He pays attention to your likes and dislikes, and makes an effort to get you the perfect gifts for special occasions. He remembers the things that make you happy, and will go out of his way to make sure you have a good time. He makes an effort to make you feel special, and will do anything to put a smile on your face. He's always thinking of you, and goes out of his way to show you how much he cares.
11. Pays Attention
Not only does he know your favorite food, your ideal vacation but he pays attention to the small things in your life. What really makes you happy -- inside and out!
If these subtle signs haven't told you one way or the other how he feels, you may have to gather your courage and make a move! But hopefully, you have a good idea from these tips, and if so, which do you find most helpful?

BeatrizChon: What happens if your crush hangs out with lots of girls. My crush admitted he liked me but now he is always flirting with girl and touching them. He was a shy person. But ever since he got eye contacts and braces off he turned into a jerk. But the jerk always finds a way into my head! What should I do?
Kan: Ok so there is this kid who's locker is one section over. And everytime I walk past him he stares at me and I see him in the cornor of my eyes and when I look at hm he quickly looks away. I went to the school library during lunch me and my friends where looking at the senior's projects ( I go to a jr sr high) and he was on the other side of the room and he came right next to me and moved really close to me. And to day. Was at my locker and I dropped most of my stuff and I forgot a paper and he like darted up to me and handed me it a studdered saying you forgot this. I for got to mention he and his friends sit by us durin lunch but not really close and when I get up he stares at me more. And sometimes his friend that ik sometimes bumps his over to me when we walk by in the halls and not like a big bump but like nodge and he also whispers to him something. By the way he makes a lot of eye contact with me too. Bt I don't really know if I lik him thank you to the people who actually read that lol
Jess: There is a super cute guy in my p.e. class and i smile and make eye contact with him and he smiles back! But i dont know what to say to start up a convo. I always get super nervous around a crush tho, so that makes it harder! I know his name, but i dont think he knows that i know. And i dont think he knows my name? Any advice?
Zana: Go Radio. I love that band. That's one of their album covers up there. Yeah.
Vina: Yes that's true when is comes to this,during in your life with someone that you had a crush with 😐
Nannon: Damn! I saw 4 of them automatically line up with a guy friend/fwb! Not only does he tease me, he laughs at EVERything i joke about, he touches my lower back and tries to tickle me, he always sits very close to me on a big couch in his bedroom, and usually texts back under 30 minutes, even within minutes or seconds. It's complicated because I've dated his best friend for 3 years and now he works two jobs. Welcome to the complicated world of being over 25.
Alys: K so theres this guy in my class that i have a crush on and one day i caught him starin at me..
