How Do You Know if a Guy Likes You? Love is a many splendored thing, and there is nothing as painful as liking somebody and knowing that he does not like you in return. However, how do you know if a guy likes you? Here are some points which can give you a hint about the state of his mind. A guy is normally going to be very shy, unless his disposition is brash and bold. And if you are his first crush, then he is going to do his best to try to convey that he is not affected by your presence even though he cannot resist being close to you and trying to talk to you whenever he can. If you like him, you can encourage him by communicating with him, but if you think he is a jerk, it is much better for you to be direct and tell him that you do not like him hanging around you. Being quiet and coy in such matters, just because you do not want to hurt his feelings, may come back to bite you in the butt if he starts pestering you. Liking someone can either be mutual or onesided. Onesided liking can turn into an obsession in extreme cases. However, if the liking is mutual, then it is all the better because you are going to be able to appreciate his actions even more. He is going to show his initial attachment by showing you that he is always there when you need him. You can talk to him and take his advice. There is always going to be an element of physical attraction, and people who like each other cannot stop touching each other. The idea is to feel the physical presence and feel secure by it. The foundation of liking someone is an initial physical, mental, and emotional attachment which is going to deepen every day. He will try his best to communicate with you when he is not around you. This means you can expect phone calls. You can even expect messages which might be funny because in the initial stages, boys do not send sentimental messages. Just try to understand the feelings behind the message and appreciate them. They are going to open themselves up to you and tell you things they may not have ever told anybody else. So appreciate that part of your relationship and respect it. Never break his confidence because that is a great way for you to break his heart. He is always going to respect your wishes because you are the object of his love. Make sure that you do not take advantage of this because once he wakes up to you being selfish and mean minded and how you took advantage of his good nature, for example, by spending his money while fooling around with other guys, he is not going to want to have anything to do with you. So remember, if you think a nice guy likes you, respect his feelings, appreciate him, and try your best to make the relationship work.
