21 Signs He Really Likes You
While women can sometimes feel like a puzzle with their complex thought processes, men are thankfully more likely to drop hints when they are interested in you. If a guy likes you, he will show it – both subconsciously and consciously. Let’s take a look at the signs you can pick up if he really likes you.
1. He’s constantly watching you
Even when you’re in the middle of an engaging conversation or busy doing something else, you’ll notice that his eyes are always on you. If he’s looking at you more often than others, that’s a strong indication that he’s into you. Men like to look at women they like, more than they sometimes would like (because it’s noticeable). And if he smiles at you during your conversations, you can be pretty sure that he likes you.
2. He gives you pet names
He has created a unique nickname for you that only exists between the two of you. From chicken and curly to smurf and snout: it is his way of letting you know that you are something special to him, something he cherishes.
