If the two of you run with different cliques, your crush will try to mingle with your friends. After all, he can't be boyfriend material if he doesn't get along with your BFFs, right?

10. He'll Find Excuses to Touch You

hair, clothing, hairstyle, sleeve, textile,
He'll take you to a scary movie where you can lean into him or brush the hair away from your face when he sees you - anything to be able to touch you! It's actually really sweet. If he's always wrapping his arms around you, it shows that he's protective of you and wants everybody to know that he's totally into you.
11. He'll Remember Everything You Say

speech,
When a guy likes you, he'll want to know everything about you. He may be asking you all these questions but the real impressive part is when he remembers everything you say. If he remembers a tiny detail that you mentioned weeks ago or anything that's really important to you, he's a keeper.
12. He'll Get Jealous of Other Guys

Now, I'm not saying he'll turn into the Hulk every time he sees you talk to a guy but if he's into you and things aren't really defined with you two just yet, he'll definitely feel a little bit jealous because he's not sure where he stands with you yet. If you feel the same, ease his mind and let him know!
13. He'll Ask You out

This is what you've been waiting for, right? It's the number one sign that a guy is into you! He'll start asking you to hang out. Whether it be in a group setting (hey, maybe he's shy!) or out to dinner and a movie, he's definitely interested in you.
