How to know if a guy is really into you?

Portugal
December 2, 2015 7:29am CST
Hi guys I was wondering, because I'm a little bit dumb in these things, how can we know if a guy is really into us? Words anyone can say and usually we need to see in the attitudes if they really like us or not but is there any advice you can give me to understand it better? We girls are usually more open about our feelings than guys...

If he seems bored when he's with you then it's a bad sign. I can't speak for all men, but a lot of us aren't very emotional and think logically. If he can spend hours talking to you and likes talking about similar interests or likes to hang out with you, then it's a good sign. If he's staring at your eyes when you talk, great sign; if he's staring somewhere else, then he has objectives with you. Of course, if you've been dating him for a while then objectives is a natural thing.

you are right ^^ sure if he shows interest in spending time with me is because he might be starting to like me. and if he find excuses or doesnt look for me is because he sees me as a friend only. thanks for your advice ^^

@vandana7 what do you mean? why wouldnt mylot approve it? we are talking about things that we all pass in life. mylot is about sharing things with each other. not just about making money.

Just look out for a couple of things:- Does he like talking to you and takes out time from his other things to spend some time with you and talk Second, does he feel nervous around you?? A decent guy will always feel a bit nervous and as a result may overact or remain shy( Normal behaviour goes missing)

I would have problems with a guy who is nervous around me. :) I mean, I am a bundle of nerves myself. I would rather he be somebody who takes charge rather than put me in charge. lol

so if a guy acts shy and shows interest in being around me like all the time does it mean he has feelings for me? i kinda am not good at seeing guys behaviour. anyway i really hope that im lucky enough to be with a guy who really makes me feel special. im so tired of falling for guys and ending up being the one who cares the most. just for once i would like to be me the one who would be loved the most.

@sweetloveforeve hmm,,look u talk to guys and just observe.. Don't just get with a guy.. Talk and know about the guy.. It takes a couple of dates to know about a person(at least).... Don't set your expectations high in the start and be the normal you, yourself.. Once you understand the guy then take the next step of whether the guy is a caring one or not!!!! Normally guys take a little time to open up... Once you have had a nice understanding, then only continue

If he will call you and ask you out and is always wanting to see you no matter what then yes he is into you but a g uy who makes exc uses for not dating you, never calls and openly talks about other women is not at all interested in you.

Yes. I agree Hatley. :) If the guy is the one who is initiating the process, and is perfectly taking charge of the situation and gives as much of his time as he can get to you, bending backwards at times, and takes all your calls. That is it.

@vandana7 i met a guy like that two months ago. he was always wanting to be with me. but his ex gf came to talk to me and asked if he liked him and i lied to her saying no because i didnt want her to get hurt. but i told her to talk with him.so then she talked with him and they went back together and he told me not to talk to her anymore because he didnt want her to get mad at him! can you believe this guy? he was telling that he liked me, wanted a relationship with me, didnt want her anymore and i believed him. he was really sweet to me so i never thought this would happen. what i did no one would do you know? talk with his ex, feeling sorry for her and tell her that he didnt love me so she wouldnt get hurt and then they went back together and he told me not to talk to her so she wouldnt get mad at him? so then i told her the truth. i said that he liked me and didnt want anything with her. that even talked about me moving to his city. and she told me that he denied everything. and as far as i know she is with him. past week she asked me if i still talked with him. i dont understand what these people want from me.

aww yes i think you are right the problem is that i met a guy who always spent his time around me and i really thought he was starting to like me until one day he disappeared. he just stopped to talk to me and i could never understand why he did that to me. was like he said i adore you and next day disappeared of my life

@sweetloveforeve Maybe he saw something that he do not like in you. Or saw some girl. Or he is not ready for any commitments.

I just ask them straight up, and I can usually tell by the way they respond if they are sincere or not. It saves time, effort, and energy.

@sweetloveforeve Lol, I'm not brave. I'm always scared shitless when I do this. But then nothing ventured nothing gained. Life is too short for messing around and tomorrow may never come. Here's a usual trick I pull, get into a comfortable setting with the guy. So you're all laughing 'n' joking 'n' having fun, then casually say something like "hey, you gotta stop making me laugh this much! Or I'll get the wrong idea and think you like me or something." Then just watch the guy's reaction. It will be pretty obvious whether he likes you or not.

Most guys will make it pretty obvious they are into you, but sometimes guys are shy, and it's hard to tell. There could be times when the direct approach might be the appropriate action...just ask him if he likes you!

i think you are right jeff. is better to ask directly than assume that he likes and in the end he doesnt. anyway i rather wait that a guy takes the first step because i took the first step once when i really loved a guy and he liked me as a friend and it was very painful. so i decided not to do that again. i have no regrets because at least i tried but it was hard for me.

@sweetloveforeve I agree that you should wait for a little while and try and let the guy make the first move. But, if you've been waiting for a long time, and still aren't sure what his intentions may be, then at that point maybe it is better if you just ask him directly.

You require to rely on your insticts, gut feelings , wisdom and experience in life to check if a guy is really interested in you. If the guy is really serious, there will be consistency in his behaviour towards your.

@sweetloveforeve It entirely depend upon the guy who fall for you. I told you to check whether he is serious for you, you need to check whether his behavior is consistent over a period of time, if you find that his behavior is inconsistent, it means the guy is not suitable for you.

@dpk262006 yes you are right. i agree. i think if a guy cares for awhile and then be for a long time without saying anything is obvious that he doesnt care at all. anyway i think that is really hard sometimes to understand guys. they are good in making us believe that we are special and sometimes we are not. we are only an escape to them.

If you want to know if a guy is really into you, you can see whether he is willing to spend more time to be with you. He can be very busy at work, but he will still squeeze some time to see you. In the past I had a friend who knew a guy for some time. But when she asked him out, almost everytime he said he had no time. I was sorry for my friend because she often dated him but he had different excuses to decline. I told my friend that he didn't love you and it was better for her to give him up and found another right guy.

@sweetloveforeve I don't like that guy although I haven't seen him before. If he didn't love my friend, then he should say it so that it wouldn't waste her time. Perhaps he didn't have a girlfriend yet, so he didn't mind having a girl like her who could be available anytime whenever he needed her.

youless you are right. your friend was being used. when the guy wanted she was always available but when she wanted he always found an excuse. such a stupid guy im happy your friend took your advice and moved on with her life. sometimes when we love someone we become blind and dont accept any advices. and thats the worse we can do. we shouldnt trade friends for lovers. we should always take our friends advices.

@youless yes sadly some guys are like that. just dont want to be without someone. i think actually that most part of guys cant stand to be alone for a long time. but they should always be honest about their feelings. i mean if you dont like the person dont say it. just be honest and say that you dont want anything serious and just goes who wants. the problem is that some guys say: i love you without feeling it and just use the person. probably what that guy did with your friend.

I've had my experiences and mostly bitter once when it comes to relationship but I have come to understand that once a guy likes someone, he will definitely make an effort to get close to you. Ultimately, a guy will make and a move and say it to you directly. Lets be careful with some guys whom we thought like us though because other guys naturally are sweet and we might mis interpret it. One clue I could see a guy is really into you is that he'll constantly make contact with you.

yes i agree with you if a guy constantly tries to be in touch is because we are important to him. but i met a guy months ago that was always saying he likes and adores me and stuff and then he went back to his ex girlfriend and is like what we had was a lie. nothing happened but he said he adored me and wanted to be my boyfriend in the future and in the end all was a lie.

yes you are right , but sometimes the effort that guys put to show their real love, care, attention is not enough for the girl and sometimes our efforts go unidentified and they end up finding another guy, i have experienced that :) So i am careful these days :)

@MusesM yes i will take things slow next time i like a guy i will try not to think so much and act more. i always think too much and end up losing things because im afraid of risking. i will try to take more attitudes and stop being afraid. if it has to go wrong it will but at least wont be because i was afraid of trying

you can only know while they are ready to do anything for you like if you have past then he ready to forget it,if he accept in what ever condition.most important thing he never negated you though he is busy but he he loves from heart not from face and clothes. his life and day start with you and end with you then you can say he and you are one.

@else34 oh really? but what does he do? does he treat your sister in a rude way? he should love your sister and respect her. if he is not being good to her she should get separated from him. we deserve to be cared and loved and respected. if that guy cant do that then he should be out of her life.

3 main things to look out for the guy- 1. See if he feels shy around you. 2. See if he glances at you frequently. 3. See if he gives you more attention over others. If it is so, bectha he's in love with you. But that doesn't necessarily mean that he will confess his love to you. Guys are real shy when they have their crush around them so it is upto you to befriend him, and make that friendship blossom into something beautiful. Good luck. :)

There is nothing more important to him. He has time for you, he doesn't make excuses. He listens and takes an interest in you. He is proud of you when he is with family and friends. When he is with you he shows respects. he does not eye or flirt with other females. He will always think you are the prettiest girl in the room. He is loyal and does not allow anyone to bad mouth you or treat you unkindly. He is affectionate but not pushy and does not try to force you into any behavior you are not willing or ready to accept. He will never pull the 'if you love me' line to get you to do something you are not ready to participate in. In summation, he is loyal, respectful, and attentive..
