    If you’re trying to tell if a guy likes you more than just a friend, his body language will give away a lot of clues. One telltale sign is if he makes eye contact with you whenever you talk to him. This usually means that he’s very interested in you and what you have to say, and it’s his way of showing you that all of his attention is on you. [1]
    • If you’re trying to flirt back, maintain eye contact with him and give him your undivided attention when he speaks.
    • Smiling and nodding while he talks can also make him feel more at ease and comfortable around you.

    You might notice that he sometimes copies your movements. For example, whenever you touch your hair, so does he. Or he crosses his arms a split second after you do. This is what’s known as mirroring, and it creates a sense of familiarity, though he’s likely doing it completely unconsciously. [2]
    • Flirt back with him by doing some mirroring of your own. Mimic his posture, gestures, or even style of speech to hint at a possible connection.

He leans toward you when you’re talking.

    The way a guy orients his body when talking to you can indicate whether he likes you or not. Leaning toward you and trying to close the distance between you while you talk is a sign that he’s interested in you. He might angle his head and shoulders toward you and lean his torso in your direction. [3]
    • Reciprocate the gesture when he’s talking. Angle yourself so that the front of your body is completely facing him and maintain a relaxed, open posture to make him feel comfortable.

    A guy who likes you will probably do whatever he can to get close to you and close the distance between you two. When you go out to dinner with friends, he might purposefully sit next to you or hang at the back of the group to walk with you.

    Some guys like to flirt and show their interest through playful touches while they talk to you. If you make him laugh, he might hold onto your arm or touch your leg. Or, he might be a bit bolder and try to hold your hand or put an arm around you if he wants to be a bit more obvious about his feelings.
    • Use physical touch to flirt back. Graze up against his hand or arm “accidentally” to spark interest or hold his hand when you’re walking somewhere.
    • Make sure you’re both comfortable with these physical touches before trying anything.
    • If his touches make you uncomfortable, tell him politely to stop.

    When a guy likes you, it’s not uncommon to find that he remembers a lot of things about you that you might not even remember telling him. He probably wants to form a deeper connection with you, so he’ll take in as many details about you as possible. [4]
    • The guy you like might also be really touched if you go out of your way to remember the small things about him as well.
    • One way to show you’re interested in and care about your crush is to get him a thoughtful gift based on the details he shared with you.
    • For example, if he talked about his favorite musician, get him tickets to their concert. This is also a great way to score yourself some quality time with him.

    If he can’t see you in person, he’ll make up for it by texting or calling you. You might get random texts from him throughout the day or friendly messages asking you how you’re doing. He might even send you fun pictures, songs, or videos to make you smile. [8]
    • If he uses lots of emojis in his messages, that could also be a potential sign that he’s harboring some secret feelings for you.
    • Send him things that remind you of him via text to subtly let him know that you’re thinking of him, like a funny meme that you think will make him laugh or a video he might find interesting.

    When a guy is harboring some strong feelings for you, he’s probably not going to risk making you wait for a reply when you text him. He’ll want to keep your connection strong and will probably just be happy getting to talk to you, so look forward to his replies hopefully within just a few minutes (or even seconds) of texting him.
    • If you're also attracted to him, flirt via text to playfully tease him or make him laugh.

    When a guy introduces you to his close friends or even family, it usually means that he views you as a really important person in his life. He’s giving you a deeper look into his other friendships and relationships and is likely hoping that you’ll accept this other part of his life. [9]
    • Bring him into your own friend circle if you feel like you’re becoming close.
