Are you confused as to why that guy hasn’t hit you up yet? You could’ve sworn that you both were hitting it off and he was totally into you. He was definitely eyeing you across the room, right? Or was that just because you were standing in front of the cookies and chips? Or maybe you’ve got this all wrong. Situations can be a bit fuzzy when it comes to liking someone, and sometimes even if you do find someone you like you don’t go out telling everyone. But this all depends on the person. So, then, what are some clear-cut ways you could figure out if he’s actually into you or not? Don’t worry I got your back again. Here are 7 obvious signs he likes you. If you spot all 7 of these signs, I can guarantee you he likes you or else I’ll give you a refund if that’s possible.
1. His body language says it all.
The first part of this is catching his eye. You’re going to want to do a quick 360 to make sure he isn’t actually staring at something or someone else because that could happen. Once you’re sure that it’s you he has his eyes on, you could observe his other body language when you two start talking. Does he lean in as if he’s going to tell you a secret? Are his arms loose or to his sides, positioning himself openly in front of you? Maybe he playfully tugs your arm during one of his jokes. All of these are great signs that this guy is digging you.

2. He tries to get your attention.
If the guy from across the room starts waving his arm like crazy over his head, he might be choking on something, so go check him out. If he subtly nods or smiles at you, though, especially from across the room, then that is a much smoother way of trying to get your attention. He isn’t going to do that unless he is into you. He might get a little slicker and start to be the louder friend of his group, getting close enough so that you hear the really cool story he is telling. And when he is nearby he’ll do that smooth transition where he’ll try to get your number afterward. And if he does, you should by now knows he likes you. Unless there’s that group project that’s due and he really needs your help on it, just so he can pass the class.
3. He teases you.
A general joke is for a good laugh, and a personalized joke is for a good connection. If this guy teases you in playful ways, then he’s trying to get a couple reactions out of you. Primarily, he wants to see you get playfully angry and say things like, “Stahppp you’re annoying.” This sets up a mini-fake-competition between you guys. It’s a game of who can make the most innocent-digs at the other while getting mutual laughs in between. Somehow competition has been sparking romance for ages. I mean, have you even watched The Hunger Games or Avatar?

4. He compliments you.
When another girl says she likes your hair, it’s a simple compliment that makes you feel great. When a guy says he likes your hair, you do a double-take and say thank you while trying to control your tomato-red face. Not a lot of guys notice the little things like that? But they definitely can, if they like you. Attraction also goes further than just saying that someone is hot or not, so you’re going to want to look out for the compliments that are out-of-the-ordinary, or super-specific. Maybe it’s about your smile or the way you laugh. It could also have to do with your positive attitude or your new shoes. The more detailed the compliments are, the more this guy is focusing on you. And why? Because he likes you, of course!
5. He finds excuses to be around you.
If you’re interested in something, you would usually want to get closer to check it out, right? No one has ever seen something really cool and said, “Nah, I’m not going to look at it, it’s too interesting for me.” That doesn’t happen in real life. This is how we know that a guy who continuously tries to hang out with you will have some feelings towards you even though he doesn’t say it. He’ll find any rhyme or reason to spend more time with you in close proximity. You’re like the honey and he’s like the bee.
6. He puts in the effort.
Even if you are spending a lot of time with someone, this doesn’t mean that the time is well spent. This depends on the company. If this guy utilizes your time together in meaningful ways, then he might do so to help bond with you. This includes being a great conversationalist, coming up with creative hangout plans, and remembering the details of things that are important to you. These things not only bring him closer to you, but he’s hoping they may attract you right into his arms as well!
7. He straight-up says it.
Nothing is more appreciated than a direct conversation nowadays. Playing games and figuring people out are a lot of work and, frankly, sometimes a headache. When a guy tells you that he likes you and it doesn’t end with “as a friend.” Then he probably means it. He probably thought about it quite some time and finally, muster up the courage to take action. And if he does, at least give him a response back letting him know how you feel about him.
