You met a guy. You really like him. And you think the feeling might be mutual. The only problem is that you mainly have contact via the app and it is therefore a bit difficult to understand the emotions behind the messages.
However, there are certain patterns when it comes to the app behavior of men who like someone. If you pay close attention to the signals from this article, you can indeed recognize whether someone has feelings for you or is starting to have them. We have seven signs for you that a man really likes you as much as you secretly hoped.

The man app is different
Men and women have a completely different way of communicating and that is also noticeable during texting. Men are much more practical, women need more words. Men have problems expressing emotions, many women have that a lot less. To some extent that also comes to the fore in texting, although there is one big difference; the person you are texting with can be completely different in real life than via the app.
We all have friends with whom you can talk for hours face-to-face, but on the app it is only short and dry. Someone who is very outspoken on the app does not necessarily have to be very outspoken when you are with him in real life. However, there are a few ways to somewhat estimate what his thoughts are about you and whether he likes you.

7 Signs He’s Texting You Because He Likes You
Now there are a lot more signs that the man in question likes you, but a few simple characteristics make the difference. We have listed seven for you. If he likes you, you can recognize the following patterns.
1. He responds quickly
If you receive an almost immediate response after sending him a message, then this is a sign that he likes you . Everyone loves to get a quick response from their crush instead of waiting hours for a reply, and this is not without reason. A quick response usually means that a guy considers you important. This has to do with prioritizing. If he replies quickly, then you are important to him.
Also, guys generally aren’t that into texting, so if he’s texting quickly, it’s a good sign. He’s probably hoping – just like you – that you’ll respond to his texts quickly. It’s almost childish how excited someone can get.

2. He asks about your life
He also wants to know more about you, who you are, where you come from, what you are doing. He therefore asks about your life, your family and your interests. If he shows a lot of interest in your personal life, this is a sign that he wants to get to know you better. Asking deep questions about life also means that he is already carefully testing whether you fit into his life at least in the short term. If he didn’t like you, he wouldn’t ask about your life. So make sure you show interest in his life too.
3. He sends long messages
Most guys don’t normally send long texts. So if you suddenly receive long messages from him, it probably means that you’ve made his mind wander. If he wasn’t interested in you, he wouldn’t even respond and certainly wouldn’t type out long messages. He wants to continue the conversation and hopes that the long messages will also send a message. By taking the time to send you long messages, he’s making you one of his priorities. He probably doesn’t even send these types of messages to his friends.

4. He sends flirty texts
Out of nowhere you receive a flirty emoji at the end of his apps, which you can probably imagine yourself. With that he also tries to flirt with you visibly, although he may not dare to put it into words literally. Maybe he is still a bit too shy for that or he wants to appear more subtle by acting it out instead of saying it literally.
If he has gotten to the point where he is flirting with you , that is also a sign that he likes you. Flirting is always a sign of showing interest in someone, so this one speaks for itself as far as we are concerned.
5. He sends you random compliments
He’ll text you at random times throughout the day to tell you how great you are . You might think it’s a bit of a smarmy thing, but he’s really just trying to be nice to you. He’s trying to make you feel good.
If he randomly sends you cute messages and sweet compliments , he probably likes you a lot. It’s actually a stepping stone to more meaningful expressions, like outright admitting that he’s in love with you. Know that his compliments are sincere.

6. He texts you to meet up
If he texts you to ask what you’re up to this week, it’s probably because he wants to be a part of those plans. If he keeps texting you to make plans and clear your schedule, he probably wants to spend (as much) time with you as possible. And he’s probably even more fun in person than he is over the app, so make sure he’s a top priority in your schedule, too.
7. Actually… he wants you to text him first
Even though he really makes an effort to initiate and continue the text contact with you, he wants nothing more than for you to text him first. Sometimes he will skip the conversation in the hope that you will text him. If you never text him first and always wait for him to text you first, he may start to think that you are not really interested in him .
For example, it may have become a habit that he wishes you a nice day every morning. But if you notice that he neglects to do so, and then responds with renewed enthusiasm to a text from you, it means that he has been waiting for that. So take the initiative yourself and text him first every now and then (or very often). Because just like women, men also need confirmation.
