Today we’ve got the sure signs a guy is crushing on you. If you’re hoping he’s into you, or maybe you’re creeped out that he might be, it’s time to solve the mystery once and for all. From merging you with his friends to asking you about your love life, here are the top 10 signs he’s crushing on you.
1. He wants you to like his friends.
A guy who is crushing on you will want to see you vibing with his bros for two reasons. Firstly, to see if you are compatible. A guy is only as good as his closest friends. The law of averages states that we are a mesh of our closest relationships, so if you don’t mesh with his friends, you probably won’t mesh with him. Secondly, he wants his friends to get a feel for you so that they understand why he’s so into you. Humans are social creatures and we always crave our friends’ approval – especially when we’re younger. So, if he wants you to like his friends, then he’s definitely crushing on you.

2. He wants to be better for you.
We only want to impress people we care about, so if this guy is trying to improve for you, he wants to impress you and he cares about you. When you’re crushing on someone, especially when you’re still at the beginning of a relationship, you’re likely putting your best foot forward. This is to show the other person what you’re capable of giving, in a more serious relationship. He wants to show you what he’s able to give so that you realize that he’s better than the other guys out there. And that’s just to show how much he likes you.
3. He wants to create more memories with you.
When a guy gets creative about the activities you do together, he is trying to make more memories with you because he likes you. The more unique the activity, the more likely you are going to remember it, which means he is literally making an impression in your brain. You wouldn’t do that with someone unless you want to stick around in that person’s life for a while. Plus, the more experiences you both create, the more attached you might get.
4. He makes you laugh.
Humor in men has been associated with higher attraction and greater marital satisfaction for women. While he may not be trying to put a ring on it just yet, he wants to make you happy and is pulling out his best jokes to do so. You won’t get far in a relationship without humor, so take his comedy routine into account if you’re considering giving him a shot at being your guy.

5. His palms get sweaty.
Your hands, forehead, and feet are full of eccrine sweat glands. These glands are connected to your sympathetic nervous system, which ramps up when you’re stressed or under pressure. What greater social pressure is there than being put in front of the person you like? He sees you, his mind races, and his hands become puddles. And if that happens, you can get a sense that he definitely has a crush on you. And by the way, this mostly happens if it’s someone you rarely talk to. They’re just nervous overall.
6. He writes you a song.
Writing is one of the best ways to express emotions and music goes with it hand in hand. If this guy has written you a song or even a poem, his feelings for you are legit. He’s taken the time to sit down with his emotions and write them on paper. Not only that but he is sharing something super personal with you, which takes guts. And if this is a romantic song or poem, you know he’s 100% crushing on you.
7. He likes to help you a lot.
If a guy is crushing on you, the last thing he wants to see is you struggling. You bet your bottom he’s going to want to swoop in like Superman to save his damsel in distress. He might offer to fix something for you, help you study a subject, or give advice for solving a problem. The important thing to notice is that he’s extra helpful specifically to you, and not just to everyone in his life. And that’s a tell-tale sign.

8. He asks you about your love life.
The only way to know if he has a shot is to ask, so be on the lookout for a friend who is asking about your love life. These could be questions about what you’re looking for, who you’ve been out with, or if you’re talking to any guys at the moment. For a shyer guy, he may ask his friends for help to do some investigation. But in the end, if he’s the one gathering this kind of information, then you should get the hint that he likes you because why would he be so nosey in the first place, right?
9. He opens up to you.
The only people we open up to are our therapists, best friends, partners, and occasionally our parents depending on the day. Haha. Assuming you aren’t this guy’s therapist, you’re probably one of his closest friends. If he’s trusting you with his secrets and personal stuff, you’ve reached the best friend level. Spoiler alert – best friends have the qualities that you would also look for in a romantic relationship, and you’re probably no different in his case.
10. Your hangouts are getting romantic.
You’ve moved from group hangouts to one-on-one time, which was normal. But now your time together is getting more intimate. From fancier meals to cuter date ideas, this guy seems to be pulling moves out of the latest romance novels – not that you’re complaining. No one pulls these moves unless they’re interested in actually dating someone, so this guy is crushing on you bad. If you’re not into it, it’s time to let him know and prevent future plans, but if you like it, why not play the date role and enjoy it?
