How can you tell if a guy/girl likes you or not? I find it rather difficult, although the most obvious way would be his/her drastic change in behaviour around you.


Well if I like a guy, I tend to look at him and smile more, I also light up when i see him; my mood changes from being normal and chatty to loud and possibly a show-off.

I also randomly turn up at places where he usually is :redface: and try to find excuses to talk to him... ( gosh, I sound like a stalker)

I want to know how you can tell whether a guy likes you, I'm rubbish at reading lads...

:suith: Sezkin:suith:
i agree with sezkin.

theres this one guy i like who gives out mixed signals and its really infuriating. he gave me a long kiss good night the other night but i'm desperate to know if he did it either because he wanted to or if he was too drunk.

c'est la vie eh?

I'm in exactly the same position. Fun int it?! :s
I need some help translating signs actually. There's this guy I really like, and I think there may be signs he likes me, but am worried I'm just deluding myself because I like him so much :redface:

He does seem to act differently around me; he's a naturally very confident guy, extrovert, quite funny and sometimes silly. When he's around me sometimes he gets quite nervy, stammers, his voice goes funny occasionally and he gets quite clumsy. He can get tongue tied and stops talking but doesn't walk away. He also starts doing this thing where he rocks against the chairs without seeming to realise he's doing it. He always seems to be where I am and sometimes seems to follow me. Sometimes his voice gets quite tender when he talks to me and when I look in his eyes he's looking at me in a tender way - sorry I know that's a lame word but it's the only way to describe it :p: He seemed quite flirty the other day - he was staring into my eyes and teasing me, also kept offering me a piece of paper then taking it away before I could get it - just does things like that a lot. Anyway does anyone else recognise this?

What I want to know is whether a guy might act like this just cos he fee;s affectionate and friendly towards you, maybe admires you in some way - or whether it's more likely to be a crush. I'd really appreciate any help :redface:

Really hope you're right! He's such a friendly and caring guy though, I'm worried it might just be that

How can you tell if a guy/girl likes you or not? I find it rather difficult, although the most obvious way would be his/her drastic change in behaviour around you.

Well, when they stare at you with their mouths open and their breasts (/crotch) thrust in your direction?

But then, I'm rediculously attractive and just safely assume all women like me. Maybe you should try that.





/sarcasm. Seriously, people aren't at all shy about expressing it really. Best way (if you're quite shy is to look at them (don't stare obv) and if they are looking at you repeatedly then they probaby do.

"if they are looking at you repeatedly then they probably do" hmmm...perhaps that's true in some cases, but the baseline is, you can never be sure if someone fancies you or not. what if the reason they're looking at you is because in their head, they're actually making fun of you.
"some people aren't shy at expressing their feelings" well...i wouldn't agree wholefully on that either because there might be the case where the person who you think may seem like the most confident among all the people you know, may possibly be worst when dealing with their own feelings towards others.

Thats incredibly cynical. As long as you don't look at them sleazily, I'm sure they wouldn't be so nasty.

Also, what makes you think that? Are they signs other guys give out? Argh so confused, I can't work out whether he likes me definitely - are there any ways of finding out without actually making it 100% obvious to him that I like him??

I really didn't think people really did this, then this guy started doing it the other day (the crotch thing not the breasts thing, unsurprisingly)

Wel, the vast majority of the time, a guy will act pretty differently arund a girl that he likes. He might go rteally quite, out of shyness or really load to try and come across as an alpha. It varies. I reckon u shud flirt with him and drop some pretty big hints.

Do they sometimes alternate between the two? This guy does! Do guys ever find have difficulty speaking when they're feeling really attracted to someone? Hm I could, but I want to be more subtle because I don't want it to be obvious I like him in case he doesn't feel the same way. Are there any subtle flirting techniques I could use, and how do I judge his response? Thanks :smile:
Yeah come on guys! let us girls know how do you act around someone you like?

we need as much (if not more) help than you... chicks can tell way more than us dudes, if a girl is into me she'd better make it blatently obvious otherwise i'd jus think shes being friendly (lol), seriously thou... girls need to take the upper hand in these sits (but not in a slutty way), if that happens, everyone's a winner!!!!

So are you trying to say that if a girl makes it obvious that she likes you, you would like her back?:confused:

No, some of us 'chicks' find it hard to understand you 'dudes'...
nah, if someone likes you dont mean you gonna like them, but if you do then at least you know which makes it a hell of a lot easier to: relax with her/move forward a bit/not have to worry abour trying to look cool/whatever...

thats all blokes will do, it's how we're bought up, stiff upper lip, don't show your emotions, all that crap... all i'm saying it makes it a bit easier for the guy... if a dude likes a girl and dont know how she feels, then he'll probs act like a w***er in trying to look cool...
