Act Around a Guy You Think Likes You
Either you've heard it from his friends, your friends, or your gut just tells you- Maybe he's told you himself... And now you don't know what to do! Here's some tips on how to act around a guy you think likes you.

Steps
- Don't change. There's obviously something about you he's attracted to, so don't be fake.
- Decide whether you like him, are attracted to him, or are interested in getting to know him. Remember that just because you aren't crushing on him right now doesn't mean you won't be eventually. Spend time with him and get to know him better- you might discover an attraction you weren't aware of.
- If you don't like him, Avoid Leading a Friend On! This means no flirting, no touching, no accepting gifts or going on dates.
- If you do like him, flirt with him! If he's shy, you might want to tell him how you feel.
Tips
- If you look at him, and he's already looking, that's a good sign.
- When you are around him, always act nice and be normal. He only likes you for who you are. Just try to flirt with him. Maybe one day he will say that he likes you.
- When he looks at you smile back. Don't stare at him.
- Be confident. Believe you're worthy of a great guy, and you'll get one.
- Guys are all different (yes, even twins!). Some act flirty all the time, some always blush, some always stare etc. Observe how he acts around others, like with his friends or with other girls he obviously doesn't like. Compare that behaviour to his behaviour around you. How does it differ? Does it differ at all? If he seems the same around his friends as he is around you, this might be a sign that he likes you only as a friend. If he acts differently, for example, you see he doesn't smile at others or laugh at their jokes as much as he does with you, then he might like you. But nothing is certain, so be wary.
- Adding to the above tip, when 'observing' the boy in question, try not to let him see you spying on him. If you are standing with a group of friends and he turns around to see you staring intensely at him then it's not so bad, but if you are practising your ninja-like skills by hiding in a bush or sneaking around lockers, this might give off the sign that you are just a little creepy. Act natural. Smile coolly if he sees you. Don't act like he's caught you red-handed or you might risk putting him off you altogether. And that'd just be a darn waste of time, wouldn't it?
- Don't let your world fall apart if you find out he actually doesn't like you.
- Don't settle! Just because this guy likes you doesn't mean you have to date him. There will be other, better guys.
- When you are around him, invite him to do something he is comfortable at. Pay close attention to his actions. Are they different from when he didn't know you knew about his secret? Making him feel less awkward about things he loves best around you will boost your relationships status.
- If you want to be sure he likes you, see if his pupils dilate when he looks at you. Don't look at him in a creepy way though. Be subtle.
- Try talking to him if he is shy.
- Always look interested in him. Don't hide yourself!
- If you like him, go for it! Tell him, flirt back, spend time with him.
Warnings
- Don't just go for him because he likes you. Make sure you know him and his personality first, before going for the easy target!
- Just because you've 'heard' a guy likes you doesn't mean it's true. We've all had that cruel trick played upon us: the 'oh so-and-so likes you, don't you know!' This kind of talk can lead you on, and if not from a reliable source, can open the floodgates for all kinds of awkward situations.
- Some guys are naturally flirty--be cautious.
