How can I tell if a guy likes me back?

Asked by mizkendall3939 (151points) August 21st, 2009

Okay so there is this guy I really like. We get into good conversations, and we seem to be really comfortable around each other. So how do I know if he likes me back? What are some of the signs? He jokes around with me a lot and sometimes make fun of me (in a joking way) and we always end up laughing. If he “hurts my feelings” He will apologize and he is truly sincere. He always seems to ask me a question, or start a conversation. He found out tomorrow is my birthday and he gave me a birthday hug. (Little things like that)

So we kind of flirt a lot. But one problem. He is a lot taller than me, does that effect if he likes me? Just please tell me if you think he likes me and how I get him to like me and all that. I really want him to ask me to homecoming. Thanks!

Ask him. Or, tell him you like him. See what comes of it.

Trust me, it’ll work a lot better than having to wonder and wonder. Maybe he’s too scared to say something right now. Break the ice for him. As a matter of fact, ask him to homecoming. It’s a great opportunity. :)

Ask him sincerely.
From my viewpoint, as a shy guy, when I like a girl, it takes me a long time to let her know that I do, even if she and I flirt a lot. But had any of the girls I was attracted to asked me if I was interested them, I wouldn’t have pussyfooted around at all, and simply would’ve told them yes.

Height? Doesn’t matter. I know couples where both are tall, both are short, and one where the guy is about 6’2” and the girl is about 5’2”. Height isn’t a factor.

Just tell him that you like him and if he likes you back he will respond with a yes answer

Make a piece of paper that says
Do you like me?

YES / NO (circle one)

see what happens…

Just ask him. It may be difficult but in the end just asking how they feel is usually quicker and easier than other methods.

Just don’t put him on the spot or do anything to make him uncomfortable that might put him off and affect his answer.

And if he really likes you height shouldn’t be a factor.

Good luck.

It’s quite difficult to guess but sometimes a woman’s instinct reacts on the opposite sex. It can be trough gestures or the “sense of feeling”. If you find it ankward then try asking him not directly but just give him friendly hints.

Take it slowly like—asking what kind of girl he prefers. A man can give off some vibes like being “obvious”, you can actually take that as a “its probably me”

@mizkendall3939 Nah, just go ahead and ask him. Especially if you’d like to go to homecoming with him. Try something like this: “I have a lot of fun with you, so I was wondering if you’d like to go to homecoming with me?”

From what you said, he already seems pretty interested. Don’t worry about how things might turn out, just go for it. You’ll regret it if you don’t. :)

He likes you a lot, accept it.

You know, most guys actually like shorter girls. Try to talk to him about your feelings.
Try and joke around telling him that you love/lurve him, see how he reacts to it.

Yeah, you should totally just ask him or tell him you like him. He’d probably be so excited. It’s always so much more interesting and fun to be straightforward. Do it do it.

My boyfriend is 9 inches taller than me. Not that much, but I like being smaller. You feel protected sorta :)

I think it definitely sounds as if he likes you!

You need to let him know that you like him though. I understand that you may not want to tell him straight out as it’s very scary, but you’re going to have to up your game a lot as boys/men aren’t the best at reading the signs so you need to be pretty blatant with the flirting for him to get the message.

On to of that do you have any friends in common that might be able to drop a hint or a a little “who are you going to homecoming with? What about….” and then suggest you.
