10 Signs That He Likes You
17 Jan 2007
You met this great guy and you’ve been dating each other for some time. Not in an exclusive relationship, but you have been spending time together. Phone calls that lasted for more than an hour, flirty smses are exchanged.
You feel good about him.
Now is the million dollar question that you want to find out.
Does he like you? Is he into you, or not?
How to know the answer? What are the tell-tale signs that he is into you? Â
Well, besides using your woman’s intuition which is not something I can describe here nor teach, I’ll do my best to “simplify” this complicated thing call “love”.
10 Signs That He Likes YouÂ
1. Watching the same movie twice
He’s seen the movie. Although he wasn’t very impressed with it, but because you haven’t catch it he suddenly changed his tune and said he really would like to watch it a second time.
And so by the way, if you haven’t seen it too, why not let’s go catch it together, he asked.
You know his intention is then not on the movie, but the company really.
So girls, do not expose his true intentions. It’s enough to know the underlying truth, be appreciative ok?
2. His car is playing songs that just sound too, familiar?
Because those are your favourites! You have merely casually mentioned to him once, and the next time he drives you, you’re in for a musical feast.
Is he always so attentive to everyone’s needs and preferences? Well, you observe how he interacts with others and you tell me. Ha!
3. He asks that question!
Well, he will try to be as casual and nonchalent about it as possible.  But no matter how cool he acts, deep down inside he is burning and dying to know the answer to this question:
“So, are you single?”
If your answer is yes, then this will be the next one:
“No way. How can someone like you be single? You mean, you don’t have a boyfriend?”
Now watch his body language closely. If you notice he is feeling tensed up by now, and totally relieved when your answer is “No” then you get the message.
4. He asks for a follow-up date even before the date is over
Now if he isn’t interested in you, why would a man be so anxious to “book” your time for another date with him even when the date is only half-way through?
Unless you look like Jessica Alba, or you can give him a million-dollar job like Donald Trump. If you aren’t either one of the two or belong to either one of the category, then this can be a clue to his heart…
5. Your name is not foreign to his friends
If you do get a chance to meet up with his friends, which you know you can create such opportunies, you’ll get some nice juicy bits from them.
But this may not be very fool-proof, neither are all of these signs, but if his friends raise their eyebrows or grin sheepishly when he introduces you to them, then that means word has been around within that gang on someone in particular, which could very well be you. Â
6. He can’t remove his eyes from you
Ok, we know that’s not the kind of stare-through-your-clothes type, but rather a slightly more loving kind of gaze that speaks of admiration and liking.
If the eyes could speak, they may just pop this question on behalf of their owner “You are the most beautiful lady I’ve ever seen. Would you like to be more than friends?”
The best test? When a bombshell or super gorgeous babe sashays past, you need to alert him before he notices her. (Of course, this is really carrying it a little far haha…. what does it take to stop a man’s roving eyes? I can’t find the answer yet
)Â
7. He prompts you
Every now and then, he will find a chance to ask you what type of guy you are attracted to and are looking for in a partner.
Unless he’s doing what I’m doing (which puts me in a really priviledged position to ask haha), what business is it for him to know what kind of man you like if not for the fact that he is secretly plotting his way to become the most suitable candidate?
Don’t be surprised if he starts putting himself down or discrediting himself by saying things about him that don’t fit into the list you described. He is testing waters to see what your reaction would be, which will give him some clues on how you feel for him.
For example you listed “having a good sense of humour and making you laugh” as one of the traits which you will be attracted to, and he says “Oh, I’m a boring guy actually. I don’t know how to crack jokes or make girls laugh. IÂ must be boring you then” be careful of what you reply him.
If you say “Ya, I don’t think you are the type of humourous person either” versus “Oh is that so? But I never find you boring at all. In fact, I feel we have lots of things to chat about” he will either be secretly weeping in sorrow or jumping in joy .
By saying things like that, he is kind of “forcing” you to give a respond, and either way you will be giving away clues on how you feel. So girls, if you fancy this guy too, you know what kind of answer you should give, right?
8. He is doing you favours
Yes, he doesn’t mind ferrying you around if he has a car. He will also volunteer to accompany you all the way to Joo Chiat when you said you feel like eating “shun kweh” (a local snack which is one of my all-time favourites too!) there.
He wiil help you with your school work, express his interest in lending you a hand for errands you need to run, buy some things for your family etc.
If a man isn’t interested in developing something further than friendship with you, unless he is too bored with his life or he’s Mr Super Ultra Nice, then I wonder what could it be that prompts him to be everywhere when you need his help.
9. He’s very anxious about celebrating special occasions.
Like Valentine’s Day (if he asks you out on that day, IÂ would really suspect his intention, wouldn’t you?) and your birthday.
He would long to celebrate this special day with you, and preferably alone.Â
10. He buys you gifts
Sending gifts on no apparent occasion and for no reason is the easiest way for a man to declare his interest in a girl without verbalising it. By giving you something, he is testing to see how you react. Usually he will do this when he still isn’t sure of how you feel towards him, so at least he won’t feel rejected if you reject his gift.
At the same time, he is hoping to make you happy with that gift. And if you are happy, he will be too!
Summarising the above, they may not be 100% fool-proof scientifically proven signs to show he’s into you. They came from pure experience and observation. I purposely didn’t include things like body language where he will check how he look before meeting you, pointing his leg and facing his body towards you etc because I just want to make this as non-scientific as possible.
So ladies, hope this gives you some clues to how this man who is appearing in front of you pretty often lately feels about you. Does he has only platonic friendship in mind, or something more?

How about him? How can he know if she loves him, or she loves him not? This post here has the answers.

Haha what an entertaining and informative piece! Many of these signs are pretty obvious but it sure is useful to have a list of things to look out for. Makes things much clearer. Good job, girl!
So, my question is, would the contrapositive be true? If he doesn’t buy you gifts, nor ask for follow-up dates before this date is over, nor do you any favors, does it necessarily mean he doesn’t like you?

Yes indeed an interesting article from Kloudiia.
To answer Veron’s question, yes, I do tends to think even if the guy don’t show all these signs, it doesn’t mean that he does not like you. However, I would add that if the guy does like a girl and show no sign of interest nor keen to be with that girl, and still like ‘heck care’ or ‘can’t be bothered’ type of attitude, then I’m afraid that even if the guy does like the girl, but chances are that the girl will eventually get turn off and will not want to get into any relationship with such a ‘MCP’ guy.
Even a shy guy that likes a girl, will still show some signs and hints that a girl can pick up. One that doesn’t show? It’s likely that he is suffering from a ‘emotional handicapped’ or emotional shutdown, or he is a true ‘MCP’.

Yes Veron. These signs really aren’t any rocket science but purely from experience er-hem.
Thanks Bored Dad for answering our dear lady’s queries. for me
If a guy doesn’t do anything at all to gain your attention or favours, it’s either he’s not interested in you, or he’s simply too painfully shy like what Bored Dad has pointed out. But then, no matter how shy he is, he will still give some hints. If he’s being excessively anxious only when in the prsence of you and not others, then doesn’t this spell some suspicion?
Now it depends on how strong the lady’s antenna is to pick these signals up and to react accordingly to either give him the courage to move on, or to take the hint and bow out.
