How can you tell when someone likes you?

Chemistry, eye contact, body language (all pointing in your direction), talking in a group but directing conversation at you. Being tactile, smiling a lot at you, sneaky looks when that person thinks you can not see them…....oh the list goes on!!

They seem to be everywhere at the same time you are.

They say “I like you”.

When they do the mating dance.

Because I have eyes.

They ask you if you date.
They talk about the things they like or dislike about dating and ask your views on the same.
They might let on to others “they like you” knowing it will get back to you.
They ask you if you’d like to go out.

You ask them if they haven’t said anything.

I was kinda curious because I have this friend and my mom and my grandma keep saying that he likes me. And we’ve gotten pretty close lately. He calls me sometimes but we just talk for a couple minutes. He called me the night before the first day of school cause he was nervous. He always tells me he misses me and whenever I’m sad he always tries to cheer me up. We tell each other that we love each other. And sometimes I’ll joke around saying ill give him a kiss or that well make out next time we hang out. And he just texts back with a smiley face. Tonight I asked him if he liked me, and he said he used to. Now I’m kinda sad, but idk whether or not he was just saying that.

It’s in his kiss.

I was never good at these things. I wasn’t able to figure it out either.

How old are you? How old is he? Did you ever kiss him or make out with him?

When you first start thinking about or getting involved in a romantic relationship, you don’t know what anything means. It’s all different from TV and movies and books. You’re never sure.

The problem with asking people outright if they like you…. well, there are so many problems. One is that you don’t know if they will tell you the truth. You put them on the spot when you ask that, and they may not want to hurt your feelings. So they may say they do even if they don’t. Or it could work the other way around. They may not be sure that you like them, and they may not want to risk getting shot down, so they might say they don’t like you even though they do like you.

Another problem is that it may not at all be clear what you mean when you ask if they like you. Do you mean as a friend? As a nice person? Or as a girlfriend? Or something else. “Like” is such an ambiguous word.

Then a person might respond jokingly—so they might say they don’t like you even though they do, just because they are embarrassed about liking you. Or Embarrassed about saying they like you. Again, especially if they aren’t sure you like them.

Personally, I thing words are useless. I think you know this. Behavior is what matters. Do they spend time with you? Do they text you a lot? Do they want to talk to you? Hang out with you? See a movie?

If they make an effort to spend time with you, and if they have fun with you or seem to be having fun, then assume they like you. If they seem tense or their attention wanders when they are with you, and they don’t offer some excuse, then they probably don’t like you.

The thing is that you probably know already. Your intuition is telling you he does or doesn’t like you. Believe it. If you believe he likes you, then act as if he likes you, no matter what he says. If he doesn’t like you, he will probably make it clear enough.

If he’s an awkward teenage boy, he may not…no… he will definitely not know how to communicate with you. He’ll be awkward if he doesn’t want to tell you he doesn’t like you. Unfortunately, he may be awkward if he does like you because he is embarrassed and doesn’t know what to do with his feelings.

Just lay back and see what happens. Don’t push things, but also don’t let them go on too long. If there comes a point you don’t want to wait any more, then ask him. But don’t ask him if he likes you. Always ask about behaviors you want. Ask him to kiss you. Ask him to go to the movies. Ask him to make out or if you want to go further, then to do that.

Ask him to do what you want him to do. If he’s like most nice guys, he’ll be grateful to have the permission to do what he wants to do but is afraid you don’t want to do.

I would never ask a girl to do anything because I didn’t want to be told no. I thought it would protect me from being hurt, but it didn’t. Eventually I asked and I was told no and it hurt, anyway.

We all get hurt. It’s not easy, but if you try to protect yourself, you’ll never get anywhere. The pain is bad, but it is never as bad as you thought it would be, and if you ask, you have a chance of getting what you want. So yes, be worried about being hurt, but don’t let it stop you from asking for what you want. Most people have a hard time saying no, so always act as if the answer is yes. Assume he likes you. If it isn’t true, he’ll let you know.

Aura projection! Or something like that. Something extends back and forth between you and you just “connect” – a kind of a deju vu. It is like the air around you super charges with interest and the two come out of themselves – one to another. Not with a “come on” but a genuineness. Maybe there is even a tongue tied-ness. Because it seems like the universe holds its breath to see what will happen when two mortals recognize each other as potential completeness they have been longing to find.

That must have been disappointing when he said he “used to.” But that very well may be because he was scared to admit he cares for you. Next time you see him in semi private, (not at school) when you say goodbye, give him a kiss on the cheek and squeeze his hand. You’ll make his day and he’ll be more comfortable expressing his feelings to you.

But remember, boys have a really hard time expressing their feelings, so be patient.

You ask them after being honest about your feelings. If, its not mutual they will let you know.

I think he likes you.

It’s all about the way they look at you.

I can just tell… If he calls me, and doesn’t just text me, I know he likes me. Haha.
And the way they look at you. :)

I usually just stare.
