As little girls, do you have memories of torturing the poor petals of flower to the rhythm of “he loves me, he loves me not?” Don’t we all?
It seems to be that we start early on our quest to understand how to tell if a guy likes you. Contrary to the melody musings of Cher, the key to understanding how a man feels about you is not in his kiss unless you are looking for passion to stroke your pride. If, instead, you are seeking the true answer to how to know when a guy likes you, then here are six easy ways to form your own Get-A-Guy checklist:
- Fumble, Stumble, Grumble. Men are not the masters of communication. I know. I know. Big surprise there! But the answer you seek to know if a guy likes you can be found in any changes in the way he expresses himself. If a naturally outgoing guy suddenly turns quiet or shy in your presence, then the chances are very good that he likes you. Because he cares what you think past his usual guy ego of wanting to impress the ladies, he is trying to make a good impression. So, when he fumbles, stumbles, or grumbles in a mass of unusually awkward ways, his body and mind are enjoy the mixed signals of your smile.
- Peeling the Onion. Because most men are not built to reveal 25,000 words on each meeting, the one of the subtle ways to know when a guy likes you is if he asks questions that require you to share your life. In a non-stalker, mobster turned CIA informant way, asking you questions about where you grew up, what you like to do in your spare time, and what you like to read are all ways that he is showing that he likes you enough to engage in your answers.
- New Crew. Among the long standing “how to tell when a guy likes you” rules is if he introduces you to the people in his life. That means he is showing you off as an important facet in his life to the people he cares for and loves. But, if he seeks to put together a mixture of your favorite people with his favorite people, then he is seeking to establish you as a couple with a long lasting relationship.
- Furious Focus. Did you see that pretty girl walk by? Did he see her? If he watches you while you talk and gives you his focus, then the chance improve that this guy likes you. Many men naturally, with innocent intentions, check out other women while they are sitting with a woman. It’s like shopping for cereal or shampoo. But, you can be sure that a guy likes you when you sit with him in a public place and his focus is on you…even if Britney Spears walked by!
- Reason Please. A great sign that a guy likes you is when he starts making up reasons to see or talk to you again during the present meeting. When he cannot seem to wait to talk to you or see you again, you can be relatively sure this guy likes you. And, the sillier or no-reason the reason is the greater the indicator of his affection.
- Collateral Respect. The first sign that a guy is into you is in the change of respect he shows you. You can tell that he likes you if he asks your opinion on simple or complex things. However, the true test of how to know when a guy likes you is when there is collateral respect. He respects the people around you…your friends, family, or co-workers…as extensions of your life.
Although how to know when a guy likes you might be a burning question in your mind right now, as each of these items measure up against his behavior you will start to get a good picture of the man you are seeking to bring into your life. Just remember, now that you know how to tell when a guy likes you… use your power for good and share it with other women.
