Is He Interested Or Just Being Nice Signs

There’s a lot of debate around the infamous line, “Nice guys finish last”. Some people swear by this, and others say it’s completely untrue. The real deal is that nice guys finish how they want. If a nice guy wants to end up with a girl, he can do that. If he just wants to be nice and continue on with his single life, he can do that as well. That being said, the water gets a little murky when you try to figure out which path the nice guy in your life has decided to take.

Is he hitting on you or trying to woo you like the princesses in those old movies? Or does he act this way with everyone, including grandmas at the supermarket? To figure out this conundrum, and to make sure you don’t respond inappropriately, here are 5 is he interested or just being nice signs to help you understand him better.

1. Does he behave differently with you than with other girls?

When we have romantic feelings or connections with someone, the simple foundation of this is based on the fact that they make us feel some type of way that no one else does. This is why normal, honest people have only one relationship at a time. A guy who is interested in you will make you feel like you stand out from the crowd. His attention to you will be more detailed and focused. If this guy behaves differently around you, then he does with other girls around him, he’s interested. But if he treats you the same as he does with his classmate, sister, or bus driver, he’s just being nice.

2. Does he try to help you out and ask you for help?

Any good friend or person should be willing to help you out if you’re in a pickle. I like to think that in general people are good and that we look out for one another. What this also translates to, is that any nice guy will be open to helping you out with things. It has nothing to do with attraction or anything more than simple assistance. The key to switch to being an interested guy is if he helps you out and also asks for your help. While you might think he just wants you to return the favor, the big hint is that nice guys usually don’t do that. And if he does, why is he always asking you? He could have easily asked anyone. If this guy asks you, specifically, to help him with more than one thing, he is choosing you out of pure preference because he’s interested in you!

3. Does he skip the small talk and try and make deep conversations with you?

In some places, you can walk into a store and tell the cashier, “Hi, how are you?” They may respond with an actual lengthy answer or just simply say “good” and continue on with their day. It’s normal. It’s just polite small talk that nice people make. Like the same kind of talk we have when we are in an elevator with someone that we kind of know, or when we get stuck sitting next to an acquaintance at some meeting. It’s called being nice. If this guy goes above and beyond the small talk, especially hitting those deeper conversation topics when you two chat, then he’s interested in more than just being polite.

4. Does he try to make any real moves around you?

A coach might give you a high five. Your math teacher could give you a pat on the back for passing a test. Your best friend could give you a hug if you’re having a bad day. None of these actions mean that any of these people are interested in you romantically, and the same is said if a nice guy does them. If this guy makes some real moves on you like physically or verbally asking you out, then that’s a different story. Someone who is interested will start to get physical with you, but not inappropriately, and get in trouble, but it will include some flirts that could eventually be an invitation to a hangout or a date later on. So be on the lookout for that.

5. Does he ask you what you think of him?

A nice guy will want you to think he’s nice, well, because he is. He might want this, but he isn’t going to ask you what you think. He’s just going to be nice and not bother asking. If he is interested in you, though, he’ll want to know more about your impression of him. He’ll be trying to figure out if you’re interested in him too, so he’ll ask you about what you think of him.

And let me know how that’ll go. I mean, it doesn’t hurt to ask… I’m just saying. So there you have it 5 is he interested or just being nice signs to help you identify his feelings.
