I’m adding a taglist to start, but this post is open to absolutely everyone! <3

@jesusredeemedme2425

He'll often try to avoid eye contact due to nervousness or shyness. ( During casual or ''passing'' moments )

At times he could pay very close attention to what you're saying and try to avoid getting distracted during the convo or he may even feel a bit irritated if someone distrubs when you're talking with him.

He often laughs at ur jokes even if they aren't that funny.

He nods at you when talking or smiles gently.

Maybe he'll try to find ways to talk to you or take efforts to help you with something if he has a crush on you.

He could try to act smart around his friends or in groups to yk stand out in front of you, and maybe you'll notice a quick glace from him at you when he crakes a joke or says something to see how you react.

If he's not wearing something good, and you're around he'll be shy and try to hide his clothings.

If he's really into you, he'll remember the tiny things you say or things you do, or even your usual style.

( Everyone's different but these are the common ones I think )

I’m here for the gossip 😄

@jesusredeemedme2425 

I have no romantic experience but one thing Ive noticed about guys, whether romantically liking you or platonically: 

They look at you right after saying a joke

Ive noticed this alot. I think its their love language, atp. Trying to get the person they like to laugh. Ive seen it platonically as well tho, so dont take this as confirmation.

So it depends a lot on the guy... Different people act differently... If they are shy they might try and avoid direct interactions with you but also be closer to you if that makes any sense. If you see them looking at you a lot that's a sign definitely if they look away as soon as you look. They might make excuses to be around you. If they aren't shy and know you there's a good chance they'll tease you a lot. Again they'll probably find excuses to be around you a lot. Eye contact is key. There's a good chance he'd point his body towards you a lot in conversation. He might straighten and change his posture. Also if you talk to him he'll probably be wanting to ask you questions about yourself and seem to have his undivided attention on you. There's other stuff too. Again a lot guys might feel nervous around the girl they like and avoid you because of that definitely if they think you might not feel the same. He might also start to mimic you a little in some ways.

Everyone is different and signs that one guy might like doesn't necessarily transfer to everyone. Also as terrifying as it might be, talk to him if you don't! There's no way definitive way of knowing if someone likes you or not until you ask them out or they ask you out.

I'm guessing you're asking this because you have a crush hehe. I have one too lol but it's a girl. I'm bi so it goes either way for me.

It wont work out with her probably even though I'm pretty sure she did like me for awhile I kinda fumbled it and waited to long. Also my life's kinda a mess and I think I might be better in a relationship with a guy.

Any ways good luck! I hope you find love if that's what you want! You're really awesome and I'm sure a guy would love to have you as their partner just remember to love yourself above anyone else. ❤️

Kinda out of touch on this...... Sits in rocking chair, reminiscing...

I would think it's making excuses to linger, even when they are busy, some stumble over words (in person or over text)..

Some do a childish thing of winding you up on purpose. I'm not sure that does anything but irritate..

Some compliment, even the smallest things or changes, they notice..

On the flipside if you praise, they go to pieces and some are flustered and modest, others take it like you're crazy in love with them already...

All weird and wonderful and hard to interpret at times.....

But definitely agree with Fossilfellow about paying attention and listening closely, remembering things you've shared.

For me it's when they try to get to know me with follow up questions, I find that telling, it's not just the usual blah blah, it's digging deeper :)

@jesusredeemedme2425

For me as a guy, I like to carry a conversation longer than a typical chat. Really be attentive and listening. If there's something humourous that she might say I will add additional humor to keep it flowing. If it's not the first time that I have seen and talked briefly with someone, I might also compliment them.

It's unfortunate that people are afraid to approach each other these days. I know that women would like for men to come up to them, but if I am being totally honest men have been hurt and wounded by the women they were committed to for years. Women's standards or ideals for the man they want have changed too.

As a single older man I find the pool of eligible people seemingly shrinking. I do believe there are more single people today than ever, but because so many people have built walls around their hearts/minds, they come off as unavailable. Just my thoughts

@jesusredeemedme2425

I wouldn't ask me, with emotional control issues you'd know instantly 🤪🤪

I haven't dated much. 😅 I linger with conversations and not wanting them to end. I try to remember all the little details. I ask questions because I want to get to know that person. I make more eye contact. I try to give as much of my time as I can to that person. A gentle touch on the arm. A genuine smile when I see that person. 

@jesusredeemedme2425

They reach out to you.

They make an effort.

They listen.

They ask about you.

They make you feel heard.

Safe 

Happy 💙
