You Know He’s In To You If…

“But how do I know he likes me?” That age old question 
never seems to go away. Ah, the days and hours we spend pondering that one simple question! We replay each conversation in our head, wondering what he meant when he said that. We look for non verbal clues when we are around him. We analyze every word that comes out of his mouth trying to figure out how he feels. Well, ladies, fret no more. I asked girls from all over the midwest on how they can tell when a guy likes them. Many of these girls are/were in a relationship and some were even engaged or married, so I’m pretty sure they know a thing or two about guys. The best part was when I asked a real college guy how accurate their opinions were and he said at least 80% was true for most guys! Here’s what the girls had to say:


I would say he respects you for who you are– not who he wants you to be! – Haley Iehl

He is pursuing you…he calls you first…he plans dates…ect. It shows he is making the moves! – Andrea German

They stop playing Xbox to hang out with you! – Zoey Medlin

I would have to say that he won’t leave you alone and he’ll do pretty much anything you ask him to do.
– Audrianna Glassford

Well, I would know a guy is in to me based on whether he takes time in his schedule/goes out of the way to talk to me. – Leah Blanchard

To me, if he is talking to you all the time and if he is making the effort to hang out with you – and if he is flirting with you, too. – Kristin Chatham

If he texts you first and keeps the conversation going and asks to hang out. – Chelsea Anderson

I think with every guy it’s different, but i would say if he opens up to you… shares things with you he wouldn’t talk to other girls about… continues to pursue you… and wants to involve you in the things he likes to do.
– Jessica Squires

If he’s been your friend for a while then he all the sudden quits doing embarrassing things in front of you
– Jaime Williams

1. He has a hard time holding eye contact (bc he’s nervous). 2. He looks at his hands a lot when he’s close to you. 3. He chats you a lot on FB but won’t in person!! -Stephanie Phillips

Texts often, eye contact, asks about you’re weekend plans a lot, brings up what type of girl he likes often, or his ex, and picks on you. – Allison Rohloff

By the way they look at you, their willingness to talk to you during the wee hours of the morning, and their willingness to sacrifice their time for you. – Ashleigh Schweska

If he purposes! – Lauren Nitzschke

I think it’s if they go out of their way to talk to you or hang out with you – Raven Snyder

He texts or calls more with intention and always goes out of his way to make an effort to pay attention to you specifically. – Caitie Coon

If he’s texting you, calling, going out of his way to see guy.. he likes you. And it helps if you say “do you like me” and they say yes… then yes, he likes you!  – Morgan Esary

Body language. If he finds a reason to touch you during conversation and if he tries to prolong conversation.
– Emily Carlson

He’ll make time to at least try to text or call you no matter how busy he gets. – Sarah Lorenz

I feel like I know a guy is into me if he randomly takes cute second glances at me or I catch him taking that second look. Sometimes its super cute and sweet, other times – creeper. I need some space! – Raelynn Rockwell

All of these are sure signs that he’s in to you. A sacrifice of time to be with you or talk to you is one of the best ways to know. The one thing I’ve learned is that if a guy want to pursue you, he will. And you will know it when you see it. If you’re crushin’ on a guy who’s not doing these things, then perhaps it’s time to move on. There’s a guy out there who will appreciate what you have to offer. Life’s too short to waste your time and energy on someone who doesn’t put in the same effort! When the right guy comes along, he will pursue you and you will know.
