If you have a friend that might be more than a friend but you just aren’t sure, these signs he has a crush on you might help. I admit, it can be hard to tell sometimes, but just pay more attention next time you are with him and your answer should come. These signs that has a crush on you might not always work in every situation, but put them all together and you are golden.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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."
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.
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.
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.
