If you’ve got someone on your mind, chances are you’re wondering if you’re on theirs as well. Since we still haven’t got mind-reading capacities in the 21st century, we are stuck guessing other peoples’ thoughts depending on how they behave. Now, you don’t have to be a CIA psychologist to dissect behavior. If you’re asking yourself, “Is he thinking about me?”, simply take a look over these 10 signs to see if he actually is.
1. He says things that remind him of you.
Maybe it was a movie, or a flower, or his grandma’s cookies. The object isn’t really important – what matters is that he has told you, on multiple occasions, that something reminded him of you when you weren’t around. This is especially true if the objects are random things, like a rock he found in the park or a cloud in the sky. Quite a reach, isn’t it? If he’s reminded of you once, that’s just life, but if it happens more than two times, you were already on his mind to begin with!

2. You get mini surprises from him.
A keychain from his vacation, a bag of chocolates, or a random daisy picked from the unsuspecting neighbor’s garden. These gifts are cute, spontaneous, and heart-warming. Any of these are great examples of mini surprises. But the truth behind all of this is that he actually thought about you first before even surprise you with a gift or a warm gesture.
3. He asks others about you.
Someone asking about you is someone thinking about you. You’ll be sure to know if you hear it from a friend or other people. He could be gathering intel about you or just enjoy talking about you with other people because he can’t contain his feelings about you. So, if you get that one person telling you that so and so is always talking about you, then you know he’s thinking about you.
4. He unconditionally helps you.
Computer not working? He’s there in a heartbeat. Need a study partner? He already mapped out what you should focus on. Tired and overwhelmed? He’s there with your favorite snacks and a movie. He isn’t just ready to help – he’s been thinking about how he can lend a helping hand and get close to you as well. Haha

5. He tags you in posts.
This aligns a bit with the first sign, where things remind him of you. In this one, however, he can go searching for things that remind him of you on purpose in order to share them with you and make conversation. The internet is great for many things, and connecting with someone you like is definitely at the top of the list! If he “ats” (@) you, he’s into you.
6. He reaches out to you even when he’s hanging out with friends.
Shocking right? He doesn’t ignore you when he’s out with the boys. It could be that the hangout is lame or he’s trying to hide something. Unless…he was thinking of you before, during, and after hanging with his friends. In that case, if he reaches out to you no matter who he’s with, then you’re always on his mind.
7. He shares things with you.
Now, this can be something tangible or emotional. Think of memes, jokes, secrets, food, hoodies, and such. Sharing is caring, and sharing is done extra when you’ve been thinking fondly about that person. Also, you don’t normally just share things without thinking about it first, right?

8. He leaves you notes.
If someone were to leave you notes, you can immediately tell they are thinking about you, because it actually takes time to write a note. And during this time, you can guarantee he’s thinking about you. These notes could be intriguing and cute, but their purpose is to leave you thinking about him instead!
9. You catch him staring at you.
If you catch him staring at you through your window at your house, then that’s a stalker. If you catch him staring at you in class or at work, check if you have something in your teeth or on your face because 7 times out of 10 that could happen and they are debating if they should tell you or not. But if the answer is no, then, he’s probably just lost in your eyes, thinking about you. And if you walk closer to him and he begins to freak out or smile, you already know what’s going on in his mind. It’s you.
10. You can’t stop thinking about him.
Sometimes there are things we can’t explain. You might be in a situation and just have this gut feeling that something is off, which proves to be right. Well, if you can’t stop thinking about someone, there is a chance that they are thinking of you too. It could be one of those memorable experiences that it’s hard to just forget and it affects both of you. And sometimes there is no textbook or hard evidence to define this phenomenon, but how many times have you thought of someone and then they randomly called or messaged you? Did you just summon them or something? Well, that’s a mystery of the universe, but a true happening nonetheless…
