Signs He Likes You More Than A Friend
So, you have this friend, who you either know for a long time or just met. You notice something odd about him but like in a good way. He’s really nice to you and you guys just click. Now you’re wondering if he has feelings for you. Yeah, I know, you don’t want to flat out ask him because that will kind of ruin the friendship you guys have going on or make things awkward if he says no. So, to understand him a little bit more, I’ve compiled a list, a list of 15 signs he likes you more than a friend.
1. He wants to know you better
When a guy likes you, he just wants to know everything about you. He wants to know how you got the scar on your arm, every tragedy you’ve ever been through and the way you grew up. This doesn’t mean that a he just wants you to talk. He genuinely wants to know more about you. Later on, you’ll see that the stories you share will help him create a stronger bond with you. When a guy is attracted to you, the way he approaches you and talk to you will be different. You will realize that he cannot easily forget your story and since you are open to him about it, he will open up to you as well.
2. He gets physical with you
He will want to be as close to you as possible. He will usually find lame excuses to touch you but of course in an appropriate way. If this is the case, just know that he wants to move the relationship to the next level. Just notice those excuses like brushing your shirt, touching your hands, giving you hugs, or giving you a high-five just to come in contact with you. On the other hand, there are shy guys who would not do this and that’s okay because he respects you and totally understands personal space but being physical with you is a strong indicator that he likes you. That’s one of the good signs he likes you more than a friend.

3. He will remember the things you tell him
If you happen to share a story with him especially regarding your personal life, he will remember the details of it. He will probably remember it way better than the exams he’s trying to study for last night. He will never forget your birthday, your dog’s name, your home town, your favorite food and other minute details. In reality, a typical guy will not care about things like that if he didn’t like you. However, since he does, then there must be some form of attraction. If he remembers everything you tell him, then it means he’s trying to pursue you, or that he has a photographic memory, which is unlikely true.
4. Watch out for those long gazes
When a guy has a crush on you, he can just sit there and day dream about you or keep staring at you because he can’t get enough of you. Sounds creepy, right? But wait, it’s true, when you like something and you don’t know if you can get it, you’ll just stare at it like a kid staring at a toy. But in this case, he’s staring at you because he wants a relationship with you. If you catch him looking at you frequently there’s a great chance that he’s falling for you already.
5. He takes initiative
Whatever he wants to do, he’ll be the first to do it and ask you, whether it’s going out together, messaging you, or doing other things to get your attention. At this point, he already has it in his mind that he is set on pursuing you. You will know that he finally gathered up the confidence and courage to do such a thing and it’s probably hard for some guys to do. So be prepare for that. If there’s an opportunity or he knows that you are interested in him as well, he’ll be the first to ask you out.
6. He calls or messages you a lot
He will find excuses to call or text you if he likes you. Friends normally text each other, but if he calls you then there could be something more too it. If the call lasts more than an hour, you can tell that he is interested in you. If you also want to hold a conversation with him you can check out my other video on how to keep a conversation going with a guy. But at the end of the day, it’s up to you to determine whether the calls are normal or if there is something going on. As for texting, you know that those good morning and good night text will be the norm and you bet you’ll get a least one text a day from him if he is interested in you.
7. He gives you lots of compliments
Look at how many times he tells you that you are smart or dressed beautifully. If he is the kind of person that doesn’t like complimenting people but takes every opportunity to compliment you, then you can be sure he has some feelings for you. I mean who doesn’t want to be showered with compliments inside and out.
8. Watch out for jealousy
This is super obvious. If he gets jealous when you talk to other guys, then it’s a strong indicator that he likes you. If you share your love life that’s opposite from his thoughts and he respond in a jealous way, then that’s also a strong sign that he likes you more than a friend. This is the hardest to fake or even conceal. The stronger his feelings are for you, the more jealous he will get when he sees you with another guy.
9. He makes you laugh
Sometimes a tease or two won’t hurt you but will make you laugh. He won’t cross the line and won’t go overboard and be mean to you. He’ll crack some corny jokes with you just to make you laugh. If he’s can make you smile and laugh every time, then he can be a potential keeper. Sometimes a funny guy is just want you want to have a happy relationship.
10. He talks to you differently
Maybe he is not the kind of person that is open to share everything with his friends, but he opens up to you. Observe the details he shares with you. If he shares some of his most sensitive information with you, then it is a sure indication that he likes you enough to do it. Men are open to share sensitive information with those people they trust and like. Watch and compare the way he talks to you and his friends. Is it something special and different? How is his tone of voice? A man who wants to move his friendship with a woman to the next level will not just talk to her like one of his guy friends or an acquaintance.
11. He respects you
If a man doesn’t respect you, then he is not worthy of you. He will respect your values, opinions, your time, and overall you as a person. He won’t be forceful and try to change you because you are you and you are unique and that’s what he likes about you. If he is not respectful, then I believe you shouldn’t be with him to begin with because imagine the relationship down the road. You’ll have many differences and break up. Now do you want that?
12. Listen to his comments concerning other woman
If you pay close attention on how he comments about other woman then you can be sure whether he wants your relationship advice or if he wants you to realize that you are the woman he wants. He might ask you want kind of guy you want in your life. This will help him understand you more and plan his next move to try to get with you. If he shares some information about his past relationships, then he may already trust you and want you to know where he is coming from and he has nothing to hide, but that’s if you ask him and he’s willing to share the information with you.
13. He doesn’t mention other girls with you.
I believe this is common sense, but just in case. If the guy really likes you, he probably won’t bring up other girls or vent about them. That’s if you decide to ask him. He will never want to jeopardize a chance with you by bring up the past. Doing so will just make him seem like a player if he has a long history, and girls typically don’t want to date a player. Unless you’re really into that, then this doesn’t matter, I guess.
14. He likes being around you
He is always happy to see you. His face will light up with a genuine smile all the time. When he is with you, he likes listening to your problems or simply listen to you talk because he wants to be there for you. Also, he does it because he cares about you. He wants to spend more time with you because he likes you. If he flirts with you that’s a strong sign that he’s into you but at the same time he wants to test the water to see if you are interested in him or not. If you like it, then just let him continue being him.
15. Pay attention to his body language
A guy’s body language can tell you a lot about his interest in you. I’ve created a video talking about how a guy secretly likes you with body language. You can check it out if you want. To briefly go over this, you can check and see if his body is engaged with you when you are talking to him. If his front body is facing towards you, then he is engaging with you and paying close attention. He may also lean close to you when you are talking. Also watch if he locks eye contact with you. Again, physical contact is a huge give away that he’s into you. You know those accidental bumps and hand brushes he does to touch you. Yeah, those, they aren’t so accidental now that you know.
