As you probably know by now, I’ve seen a lot of relationships. I mean, a lot. Enough that I’ve noticed men rarely come right out and tell you how they feel. They sometimes give hints, but these hints can be pretty subtle. If you’re not paying attention, they can go right over your head.
Since I have five sisters and a mom who’s a doctor, I’ve picked up on what guys do to let you know they like you. And trust me, it isn’t always something cheesy they say or big grand gestures.
There are some things guys do when they like you and don’t know how to say it.
Ladies, if you have wondered if that guy likes you too or not, here is your answer. I have compiled a list of 12 ways men let you know they like you.
If you learn to recognize these signs from him, you’ll never wonder again if he likes you or what his intentions are.
Here are 12 Signs He Likes You:
1. He Makes Time For You
He shows up places you go (without forcing himself, obviously) or makes sure he’s a part of group activities you’re in.
2. He Remembers Things You Say
Ever tell him something cute your coworker said and he remembers? How about that snack you like? Or that movie you wanted to see? He remembers because he cares.

4. He Starts Conversation With You
Maybe he’ll text you first or ask you questions. He may even comment on things you post online. He’s trying to catch your attention by starting conversations with you.

5. He Gives You Compliments That Aren’t Just About Your Looks
Yes, he’ll probably comment on your appearance every now and then. But you catch him praising you for how great of a friend you are or how awesome your sense of humor is.
He might say things like:
“Oh my gosh, you have the best smile.” or
“You’re so beautiful.”
6. He Gets Nervous Around You
He fidgets, messes up words, stumbles over his sentences, or laughs wayyyy too hard at your jokes. Guys who care what you think will get nervous around you.
7. He Teases You
As long as he’s not being mean about it, teasing is a great sign he likes you.
8. He Finds Excuses to Touch You
Touching is one of the biggest signs a guy likes you. He’ll casually touch your arm, shoulder, back—anything to find an excuse to touch you.
9. He Gets Jealous Of Other Guys Around You
If other guys are around and he either gets quiet, seems a little angry, or tries to “hog” you, chances are he likes you.
10. He Opens Up To You
He tells you about how he feels or what he thinks about something. He tells you about his past, what his hobbies are, and wants you to know the real him.
11. He Tells Jokes or Makes You Smile
If he tries to make you laugh or smiles every time he sees you, it means he wants you to be happy. When a guy likes you, he’ll try to make you smile or laugh because he enjoys seeing you happy.
12. He Invests In Your Goals
Let’s say you got a big project at work and you mentioned it. He’ll ask you how it’s going and cheer you on. If he likes you, he wants you to thrive and be the best you can be.
There you have it, ladies. Those are my 12 hints he likes you but is afraid to tell you.
If a guy does several (if not all) of these things for you, chances are he’s into you.
Remember though, most people won’t show interest in someone with just one gesture or action. Actions like teasing you, finding reasons to touch you, or remembering what you say might seem like small gestures on their own, but when you start noticing multiple signs, you’ll know for sure.
As Always, keep it classy, loves.
