Five Signs He’s Interested in You for the Right Reasons

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at PSU chapter.

Let’s face it — some guys are cute to look at, but don’t always have the best intentions. 

 

Before you write off all the nice guys in the world and go chasing after bad boys, take a closer look. 

 

Here are five signs he’s interested in you for more than just sex.

 

1) He wants to take you out.

 

If he wants to take you out on a proper date and get to know you, this shows he wants to get to know your personality. Men who are only interested in sex try to only hang out indoors — not take you out in public. 

 

If he wants to take you somewhere nice for an evening, that’s a good indication of better intentions.

 

2) He wants to hang out during the day, too.

 

Come over at 2 a.m. for “Netflix and chill?” No thanks.

 

Boys who are interested in you for more than your body will want to hang out with you during the daytime as well as for a late-night sleepover. If he’s only inviting you over during the late hours of the night, chances are it’s not to get to know your personality.

 

3) He introduces you to his friends.

 

If you’re really important to him, he’ll want you to meet his friends. A guy who wants his friends to like you really likes you, too. 

 

Everyone values their friends’ input when it comes to their partner. This is a good indicator that he really cares about you.

 

4) He asks you questions about your life.

A guy who is really interested will want to get to know you. What are your interests? Hobbies? What is your family like? 

 

If he only cared about sex, he wouldn’t be trying to get to know the real you.

 

5) He gives you cute compliments that aren’t just about your body.

 

Everyone loves to feel loved. When he compliments your personality, your actions or even just your smile, you know he’s interested for the right reasons. 

 

Everyone deserves a partner that respects and loves their personality as well as their body. If he’s focused on more than just your curves, he will take the time to make you feel appreciated.
