Trying to get a read on a guy is naturally hard because it\u2019s either they have a really good poker face or are so nervous that it\u2019s eclipsing their personality. But there are certain tells that can help you decipher the guy codex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are six things guys do when they\u2019re into you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#1: Constant communication #2: Random but sweet messages<\/strong> #3: Lots of attention<\/strong> #4: Body language<\/strong> #5: Dresses to impress<\/strong> #6: \u201cI like you\u201d Dating and discovering who another person is unpredictable and fun. Remember, these are general tips for figuring out guys and not hard and fast rules. Every guy is different, and the way one guy chooses to show he cares may be opposite from another. But if the guy you\u2019re wondering about starts displaying these signs every time he\u2019s around you, he may be thinking about you as more than a friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Having a hard time getting a read on the man in your life?

\n<\/strong>Yes, guys are notoriously bad at saying how they feel. That said, when we like someone and the lines of communication are open (i.e. when a date goes well or there\u2019s a good conversation going) you\u2019ll hear from us. When it comes to texting, some might ramble on for several paragraphs or just send a steady stream of mono-syllabic responses. Either way, if the responses come in at a regular pace, those are sign he\u2019s interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nIn the era of technology, people are accessible through a few seconds of swiping and tapping on the smartphone. If you\u2019ve exchanged numbers or become Facebook friends, he might shoot you a message with a simple \u201cHey, how\u2019s it going?\u201d Or say he\u2019s hiking with friends and sends you a photo of a meadow that you might appreciate. If he\u2019s thinking of you throughout the day and has you on the brain enough to check in on you, he\u2019s into you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nIf you\u2019re on a date and he doesn\u2019t reach for his phone, you know there\u2019s interest. Someone who checks their phone constantly during the early stages of dating is almost certainly interested in something other than you. A guy who holds the conversation, maintains eye contact, and doesn\u2019t reach for smartphone is exhibiting all the signs of interest. At the very least, he has good manners. Other signs he\u2019s listening: Nodding, smiling and even leaning in (hopefully not too close).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nBody language is important since it\u2019s a subtle way to get a read on someone. Crossed arms? It might be a sign that he\u2019s a bit nervous and closed. Is his gaze wandering around the room? Maybe he\u2019s bored. On the other hand, if he stands closer to you than most friends would (and if you\u2019re comfortable with it), then he could be trying to tell you something. Alternatively, some guys just get nervous and tongue-tied on a date. Don\u2019t mistake someone looking at their lap for someone looking around the room. The former is a self-conscious fellow who\u2019s too anxious to look you in the eye and the latter is someone that doesn\u2019t want to be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nI\u2019m not saying a guy is only interested if he wears a suit and tie to a date, but when a guy puts thought and care into his attire it\u2019s a sign that he wants you to like the way he looks. Some guys will never know how to dress for a date, but hair with some product in it, unwrinkled shirts, or even a belt can be a sign he\u2019s into you. Sweat pants and a hoodie probably don\u2019t require as much thought as nice jeans and snazzy shirt. (Do people still say snazzy?) If he puts that much thought into the way he dresses, he might be putting that much thought into the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/strong>Sometimes a guy will just outright say he likes you and it\u2019s as simple as that. It could be a grand gesture with flowers and a string quartet or even a simple pause in the middle of the date. Either way, if he sends you a direct message then you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
