I don\u2019t know how many times my friends and I have asked each other, \u201cDoes he like me?\u201d If I\u2019m being honest, men can be pretty confusing sometimes. Unless they\u2019re going all-in and putting in the effort, you never really know where they stand. But according to dating experts, men may not be as hard to read as you think<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI find this a lot more straightforward than most women make it out to be,\u201d life and love coach, <\/span>Veronica Grant<\/span><\/a> tells The Date Mix. Sometimes you\u2019ll notice little tells through their body language. Other times, their behavior will give them away. So if the guy you\u2019re interested in isn\u2019t being super clear on how he feels about you, here are some signs that indicate he might actually like you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does he like me: signs he’s into you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His pupils dilate when he looks at you.
\n<\/b>This one may be hard to see. But an eye tracking experiment conducted by researchers at Function found that <\/span>people who had larger pupils<\/span><\/a> during the course of a first date were more likely to ask for a second date. That\u2019s because people\u2019s eyes tend to dilate when they\u2019re excited about something or someone. It\u2019s a physiological response that we can\u2019t control. If you can manage to spot this without making it awkward, it\u2019s definitely a good clue that your man is interested. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He tries to make eye contact with you.
\n<\/b>The same eye tracking study found that eye contact is a big indicator of interest. During a conversation, people will make eye contact an average of 11 percent of the time. But participants in the study who felt little to no spark with their dates only locked eyes with them about seven percent of the time. In general, people like to look and linger on things they like. If the guy you\u2019re interested in tries to catch your eye, he definitely likes what he sees. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He leans closer to you when you\u2019re talking.
\n<\/b>Pay attention to how much space is between the two of you when you\u2019re talking. People tend to<\/span> lean closer towards those they like<\/span><\/a> and create distance with those they don\u2019t. It shows that they\u2019re comfortable and enjoy being around the other person. So if he\u2019s finding ways to get up close and personal with you to the point that you\u2019re lightly touching, it\u2019s a not-so-subtle clue that he likes you. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He asks questions that are designed to get to know you better.
\n<\/b>It goes without saying, but when you’re laid awake asking yourself ‘does he like me’, a quick \u201cYou up?\u201d in the middle of a night is not a question designed to get to know you better. When a guy likes you, he\u2019ll be genuinely interested in getting to know you. He might ask questions about your family dynamic, what it was like growing up, your hobbies, and other little things you\u2019ve never told anyone before. If he\u2019s asking questions<\/a>, he\u2019s curious about you and wants to learn more. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He remembers the little things about you.
\n<\/b>In general, it\u2019s easy to forget a lot of things people tell you. But when a man is interested in you, he\u2019ll pay attention. For instance, if you mention you\u2019re having dinner with your mom that night, he might ask you how it was the next day without prompting. He might remember details like how you take your coffee or the type of beer that you like. He may not remember everything. But if he mentions the most random things about you, that means he\u2019s listening and paying attention. Bonus points if he goes out of his way to do something he knows you\u2019d like. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He follows through on his word.
\n<\/b>When a guy likes you, his word is good. He\u2019ll show up when he\u2019s supposed to, he\u2019ll call or text you when he says he will, and he won\u2019t make promises he can\u2019t keep. If he really needs to cancel, he\u2019ll let you know as soon as possible and will make it a point to reschedule. He not only likes you, but he respects you. He won\u2019t ever leave you hanging because he wants you to see him as reliable. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s consistent.
\n<\/b>\u201cMen aren’t dumb,\u201d <\/span>Wade Brill<\/span><\/a>, dating and lifestyle coach, says. \u201cWhen they want something, they will go after it.\u201d When you really like a guy it\u2019s easy to hold onto all the sweet moments where they made you feel special, and ignore all the other moments when they made you doubt yourself. But if he blows hot and cold, or acknowledges your presence one day and pretends you don\u2019t exist the next, he\u2019s not that interested in you. It\u2019s not always easy to be consistent. But when someone likes you, they\u2019ll make the effort to show you that you matter to them. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not always easy to know the answer to the age-old question of ‘does he like me’. If you pay attention to these signs however, you\u2019ll have a pretty good idea!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
