Tell That a Boy Likes a Girl
Have you ever wondered "Does that guy like her?". Or have you ever tossed and turned all night worrying about if he is really interested in you, a friend or someone else? No matter what the reasons are, this article will help you figure that out
Contents
Steps
- If he likes someone, he will more than likely show it in some way. For example, he might flirt with other girls when the person he might like is around to make her jealous. But after she leaves he will completely ignore them....
- Pay attention. Don't stalk him, but pay attention to what he says and does when you're the person he might like is around. If he is constantly looking at her, that is a dead-give-away that he likes her. Or if he is the outgoing type, he might tease her a lot. If he is shy, he might blush when she says something to him. No matter what type he is, he will probably try to show off to her in some way.
- See if he is also paying attention to her. If he remembers things she says, e.g. she tells him what her favorite movie is or alike, and then you and her hang out with him a good while later and he mentions it? This is a good sign in knowing if he likes her or not. But note that maybe, if they are really good friends, they might just be really good friends and not a potential couple.
- Observe his social activity on the internet. Yes, it can be really helpful. For example, if you and him and the girl (the one you think he likes) are friends on a social network, lets say Facebook, if he likes her you can see him liking most of her posts even if they were normal or silly (don't deserve to be liked), complementing her photos and videos and so on. This doesn't always means that he likes her but it is when he seems only to like or comment on her posts. There are too many signs you can notice (some are clear and some aren't) from social activities on the internet, so you should try it.
- If you are not getting any answers by just observing their relationship, then the way out is to ask. This can be really awkward though, plan what you are going to say, and excuses to why you want to know.
Tips
- If you chose asking, then the best time is to ask him when he has just finished a conversation with her (and she left) ask him normally, for example: "Do you like her?",not with a wondering or an aggressive tone. Then act as if you wanted to start a conversation and change the subject, to show that you don't really care about their relationship and you wanted to know as a friend to a friend. This will normally make it not awkward to ask, and make him more comfortable. If he seemed uncomfortable and don't want to answer (also a clear sign) then drop the subject, and if he confidently said no (not with an aggressive tone) then they are just friends or he is lying.
- Be very observant or ask! That is the only way to know if he truly likes someone.
- Have fun! You are young. Don't waste all of your time on worrying about boys.
Warnings
- Don't ever ask him from nowhere and say: "Do you like [her name]?". This may seem very awkward to him and he may even respond to you aggressively (denying it or "why the hell do you care"). Although if he replied aggressively it's certain that he likes her but this may hurt you friendship very much (even make you both enemies if he took it too seriously). So try to find the right timing.
