Obvious signs guys like you?

Starting a thread for everyone to comment on the obvious signs a guy likes you

Guys give off mixed signals at times and thought this’d be a good place for any woman that’s confused to get the right answer if he does/doesn’t!

Enjoy commenting 😄

Genuinely, if you have to speculate, 1980s Jackie-style, about ‘signs a guy likes you’ on an Internet forum, he doesn’t.

TheFoundations · 10/07/2021 11:04

The sign that he doesn't like you (in that way) is that you have to try to look for signs of whether he likes you.

Umberellatheweatha · 10/07/2021 11:05

I can honestly say I've never had to wonder as an adult if a man likes me or not. It was only confusing when we were young teens.

As pp said, if you are struggling to work it out,then he probably isn't in to you.

YarnOver · 10/07/2021 11:09

If a guy likes you , you don't need to speculate as to what signs he could be showing that aren't so obvious.

If he likes you, you'll know and you won't need to post on MN

Umberellatheweatha · 10/07/2021 11:10

(Exception being if HE doesn't know if he likes you or not). But that's still someone you should avoid. Life is too short to be fannied about.

SheABitSpicyToday · 10/07/2021 11:11

If he likes you you won’t need to wonder.

RickOShay · 10/07/2021 11:11

Grin @Glumdalclitch

Howcanthisbe123 · 10/07/2021 11:16

If he likes you he will do “the stare” followed by a wondering over to you, in a swag like manor, taking large steps slowly, groin pointed outwards, accompanied by a hoiking up of the trousers on the way. Still staring.....eyes on the prize.

Once over to you will go on about how he still lives with his mother, but it’s ok, he knows how to turn a washing machine on! 😂😂

This thread wasn’t about me. I think the point has been missed 😬🙈

And in response, you’re supposed to fiddle with your hair, gaze at him with dilated pupils, and ask him to use his manly man-muscles to pick up your pen, preferably while biting your lip girlishly like that annoying head case from Fifty Shades.
SheABitSpicyToday · 10/07/2021 11:38

I don’t think it has. This is the only advice anyone needs.

Fountaining · 10/07/2021 11:38

Or do the ‘bend and snap’ from Legally Blonde.

PearlNextDoor · 10/07/2021 11:40

I'd say no mixed signals would be a good sign!

Commits to a time / day and doesn't relegate you if something else comes up.

Rings when he says he'll ring.

Sees you on Saturday.

Introduces you to his friends.

Seems proud of you.

God it's so depressing, it's only really been my experience once
It was nice though. We grew apart during covid.

PearlNextDoor · 10/07/2021 11:44

I wish I'd watched this video at 21.

TheFoundations · 10/07/2021 12:15

@PearlNextDoor

I really didn't want to like that woman in the video, but she's just TOO AWESOME do dislike Smile

They should show stuff like this in high schools.

Rosewaitcarpark · 10/07/2021 13:38

They notice things about you, like when you have your hair cut.

Livandme · 10/07/2021 14:10

What's obvious to one person will be red flags to another.
I'd say you just have to judge them on how they treat everyone.

I know! I wish I'd had this insight when I was young. Sad

Oh well.

Saltandvinegar86 · 10/07/2021 14:56

He messages/ phones you regularly, when he says he will and he instigates often. He wants to see you. He looks at you a lot. He touches you a lot (not sexually). When you kiss, he looks at your eyes/face and might hold it. He hugs you without trying for anything more. He wants to make you smile/laugh. And he shows he wants you but doesn’t push it. But I agree with most posters, you know and if you don’t there is a reason.

layladomino · 10/07/2021 15:34

Men are not one homogenous mass, same as women aren't. And so signs will be different for different people. But one thing is for sure - they won't give mixed signals. They won't leave you wondering 'does he like me or not?' That usually involves keeping their word, wanting to see you regularly and showing an interest in you.

Justcallmebebes · 10/07/2021 20:07

IMO you're wrong and men don't give off mixed signals if they're interested. They're simple creatures in this regard and if he likes you, you know he likes you. It's v simple once you get this

PumpkinKlNG · 10/07/2021 20:09

They tell you? I’ve never been into guys that are too shy to say so 🤷‍♀️

Umberellatheweatha · 10/07/2021 20:13

Tbf though theres 'like' and just 'would fuck'. And with guys its mostly just the later. Also for the later, most guys aren't fussy. As long as you are not partucularly overweight and relatively clean looking, you're in with a shot. Doesn't mean he wants a relationship with you of course...or hell, even that he remotely likes you.
