How To Tell If He Likes You In Person

When you’re face-to-face, a guy’s behavior and body language can reveal clear signs he likes you. Here are some big (and small) indicators to watch for when you’re hanging out in person:

1. He finds excuses to be around you. One of the first answers to how to know if a guy likes you is that he’ll go out of his way to be near you. Does he show up at events he knows you’ll attend, or suddenly “bump into” you on campus or around the neighborhood? If he’s always conveniently nearby or wants to join wherever you’re going, it’s no coincidence – it’s a sign he enjoys your company and wants more of it.

2. He tries to find out if you’re single. A guy who’s into you will definitely be curious about your relationship status. He might directly ask, “So, are you seeing anyone lately?” or drop hints by asking about your weekend in a roundabout way. He could even playfully say something like, “I can’t believe a girl like you doesn’t have a boyfriend!” The bottom line: if he’s fishing for clues about your love life, he’s hoping you’re available.

3. He acts differently around you. Pay attention to how he behaves with you versus others. If he likes you, he might clean up his language, stand a little taller, or be more attentive when you’re around. For example, a guy who’s usually loud and goofy with his buddies might suddenly become more polite or soft-spoken in your presence because he wants to impress you. On the flip side, a shy guy might get even quieter or blushy around you. Any noticeable change in his demeanor when you’re nearby is one of the signs a guy likes you more than just a friend.

4. He seems nervous or fidgety (in a cute way). Not all guys get tongue-tied around a crush, but many do! If he’s normally confident but now he’s stumbling over his words, fiddling with his coffee cup, or adjusting his shirt a lot when he talks to you, he might have butterflies. Those little nerves are a sweet sign he cares what you think – a classic clue for how to tell if he likes you especially if he’s usually not the nervous type.

5. He’s always happy to see you. Does his face light up when you walk into the room? A genuine, ear-to-ear smile whenever he spots you is a heartwarming sign. Even if he’s had a long day, he perks up in your presence. He might say things like “I’m so glad you’re here!” or his body language (like an excited wave or bright eyes) might give it away. A guy who likes you will have a hard time hiding his excitement when you show up.

6. He maintains eye contact (or can’t stop glancing at you). Eye contact can be super telling. When a guy likes you, he’ll often hold your gaze a bit longer than normal or frequently look over at you. You might catch him staring and smiling, or even notice an adorably guilty look when you catch him in the act and he looks away quickly. Prolonged eye contact, an “eyebrow flash” (a quick lift of the brows upon seeing you), or just frequently checking you out from across the room – these are all signs he’s drawn to you visually and can’t get enough.

7. He finds excuses to touch you. Physical contact is a big giveaway in person. If he likes you, he’ll take any (respectful) chance to get a little closer. That could mean a light touch on your arm when he laughs, a warm hug hello or goodbye that lingers just a second longer than a typical friend hug, or even playful nudges. These “accidental” touches aren’t so accidental – they’re his way of feeling closer to you and testing if you’re comfortable with him.

8. He stands or sits noticeably close. Personal space? What personal space! A guy who’s into you will often position himself near you – like choosing the seat next to you even if there are plenty of other options. When talking, he might lean in rather than back away. This subtle closing of distance shows he literally wants to be closer to you. If you notice he’s always gravitating to be by your side, it’s a strong sign he likes you.

9. His body language is open towards you. Along with staying close, check out his posture and body orientation. Is he facing you, with his shoulders and feet pointing in your direction? That’s a subconscious sign of attraction. He might also sit with legs apart (a subconscious alpha move), keep his arms uncrossed, or mirror your movements. Open, welcoming body language – as opposed to closed off or turning away – means he’s comfortable and engaged with you. Mirroring, where he unconsciously copies your gestures or posture, is a known sign of rapport and attraction.

10. He looks nervous or fixes his appearance when you’re around. You walk into the room and he immediately runs a hand through his hair or straightens his shirt? That’s a guy who suddenly wants to look his best. He might check his reflection in his phone or adjust his tie when he sees you coming. It’s a small yet telling sign. Guys often preen like birds showing off their feathers when their crush is near! If he’s smoothing his shirt or checking his breath, he’s hoping you find him attractive too.

11. He gives you undivided attention. When you’re talking, he actually listens. Imagine that! In today’s distracted world, if he’s putting away his phone, ignoring interruptions, and focusing on every word you say, that’s huge. A guy who likes you will be genuinely interested in what you have to say. He’ll nod, maintain eye contact, and respond thoughtfully. You won’t catch him scanning the room or looking bored. How to know if a guy likes you? See if he’s all ears and fully present whenever you’re together.

12. He laughs at all your jokes (even the not-so-funny ones). We all laugh easily with people we like. If you notice he chuckles at your corniest jokes or always seems amused by your stories, he’s probably a little smitten. He’s not faking it – chances are he’s just happy to be around you and finds you charming. (Bonus: If he’s the one trying to be funny to make you laugh, that’s also one of those signs he’s into you. Making you smile is high on his priority list!)

13. He playfully teases you. A little light teasing is a classic flirting technique. If he’s gently poking fun at your habits or giving you silly nicknames, he’s trying to create a fun, intimate rapport. Pay attention to whether you’re the only one he’s joking around with in that way. If he singles you out for playful banter, it’s likely because he feels a special connection with you. (Of course, it should always feel light-hearted, not mean – a guy who likes you wants to make you smile, not upset you.)

14. He compliments you often. Does he drop sweet compliments about your look or personality? “You always make my day better,” “That color looks amazing on you,” or “I love how you think about things” are the kinds of phrases a man uses when he’s into you. Compliments – especially those that go beyond surface-level – show that he’s paying attention and admires you. A friend might say “You look nice,” but a guy who likes you might be a bit more heartfelt or even shyly creative with his praises.

15. He notices the little things. Beyond basic compliments, a truly interested guy picks up on details. Maybe you got a haircut or you’re wearing a new necklace – and he’s the first to notice. Or you mention loving a rare chocolate and next time he surprises you with it. When he remembers small details or goes out of his way to point out subtle changes (“Is that a new perfume? It’s lovely!”), it shows he’s been paying close attention to you (a big hint that you’re special to him).

16. He remembers what you say. It’s not just physical details – he recalls conversations too. Perhaps weeks ago you told him about your favorite childhood movie or that you have an aunt in Texas, and out of the blue he brings it up: “Hey, wasn’t it your aunt in Texas who’s a chef? How’s she doing?” When a guy stores away the info you share and actually follows up on it later, it’s a surefire sign he likes you enough that he values what you say. Your interests, preferences, and stories matter to him.

17. He asks a lot of questions to get to know you. Some guys aren’t big on talking about feelings, but if he’s curious about you – that speaks volumes. Does he ask about your dreams, your family, your likes and dislikes? A man who likes you will want to know everything about you, from your opinion on that new movie to where you see yourself in five years. He’s basically investing time to learn what makes you tick. It’s his way of saying, “I’m interested in you as a person,” without directly saying it.

18. He opens up about himself. On the flip side, notice if he’s sharing more with you than he does with others. When a guy feels a connection, he’ll start to let his guard down. He might tell you about his crazy family, his childhood, or his dreams and fears. If he confides in you or gets a bit vulnerable (like admitting he’s nervous about a new job or that he secretly writes poetry), take it as a big compliment. Guys don’t usually reveal their deeper side unless they really trust someone – and if that someone is you, you’re definitely more than just a casual friend to him.

19. He goes out of his way to help you. One of the classic signs he likes you is when he’s consistently helpful. Need a ride home from class? He’s already jingling his car keys. Struggling with a heavy box? He’s by your side in a flash saying, “Let me get that.” When a man is into you, he’ll happily inconvenience himself to make your life easier. It’s a protective, provider instinct kicking in. He wants to be the one you can rely on – whether it’s fixing that glitchy app on your phone or picking up medicine for you when you’re under the weather.

20. He never says “I’m too busy” for you. A guy who likes you will find time for you, period. Even if he’s swamped, he’ll squeeze in a quick meet-up or at least call you back. If he has to cancel a date (rarely), he’ll immediately reschedule. You’ll notice that you’re a priority in his schedule. Maybe he skips hanging out with the guys one Friday because you mentioned you’re free that night. When a man rearranges his time to see you or never seems to say “I can’t,” it’s because he doesn’t want to miss an opportunity to be with you.

21. He prioritizes you even when he’s busy. Building on the above – perhaps he’s in the middle of something crucial, yet he still checks in on you or ensures you’re okay. For instance, during a busy work week he might drop by just to give you a coffee or text you to have a great day. These little gestures show that, busy or not, you’re on his mind. Everyone gets busy, but someone who likes you will still make an effort, however small, to show you you’re important.

22. He’s protective of you. Pay attention to those chivalrous moves. Does he walk on the traffic side of the sidewalk to shield you from cars? Does he put his arm in front of you instinctively if a biker zooms past? If someone is giving you a hard time, does he step in to support you? A guy who likes you will often have a protective streak. It might be subtle, like checking “Did you get home safe?” or more overt like calling out someone who disrespected you. It all says the same thing: he cares about your well-being.

23. He gets a little jealous (but not in a creepy way). A touch of jealousy can be a tell-tale sign. Maybe you mentioned a coworker who always jokes with you, and he asks a bit too quickly, “Who’s that?” Or you’re chatting with another guy at a party and you later notice your crush was unusually quiet or hovered nearby. If he likes you, the idea of other guys swooping in might bother him, even if he tries to play it cool. Key is, it’ll be mild – like a quick mood shift or curious questions. (If he’s very possessive or controlling, that’s a red flag, not a green light.)

24. He doesn’t talk about other girls. On the flip side of jealousy, a guy who’s interested will avoid mentioning any other woman he might be seeing or find attractive. He wants you to think he’s 100% available (even if he’s casually chatting with others). If all his stories are oddly girl-free or he emphasizes how single he is, he likely has you in mind. And if you do bring up another woman, you might notice he quickly downplays it or changes the topic back to something involving you and him.

25. He tries to impress you. Suddenly he’s mentioning that promotion he got or the marathon he ran last year – and he wasn’t bragging like this before. When a guy likes a girl, he naturally wants to put his best foot forward. It’s not that he’s ego-tripping; he just wants you to see him as capable and impressive. Look out for him flexing a bit – be it telling a story where he’s the hero, showing off a skill (like playing guitar when you’re around), or even humble-bragging about a new achievement. It’s cute, really – he’s peacocking a little to win your admiration.

26. His friends give him a hard time when you’re around. One of those often overlooked signs a guy likes you is how his friends act. If you walk up and his buddies start smirking, elbowing him, or suddenly leaving you two alone, it’s likely they know he’s into you. He might look embarrassed or rush to say “Guys, stop!” (which is another good sign, frankly). Friends love to tease when one of their own has a crush. So if his crew knows your name and giggles when you’re in earshot, he’s probably been talking about you… a lot.

27. He wants you to meet his friends (and even family). Introducing you to his inner circle is a major sign you’re special to him. When a guy likes you enough that he’s proud to have you meet his best friends or brings you along to group hangouts, he’s integrating you into his life. And if he takes you to meet his family – oh boy, that’s huge. He sees you as more than a casual fling. He wants the important people in his life to meet you, and he wants to see if you mesh well with them.

28. He invites you to things and includes you. Similar to the above, notice if he’s always inviting you to parties, events, or even just errand runs (“I’m gonna grab a coffee, want to come?”). When he likes you, he’ll look for ways to include you in his day-to-day activities. You’re not an afterthought; he actively wants you there. If he has a plus-one to a wedding, you’re the person he’s hinting at taking. Inclusion is a form of showing interest and trying to build more shared experiences together.

29. He gives you thoughtful gifts or gestures. Not every guy will go full-on gift mode, but many will show affection through little tokens. Did he bring you your favorite latte one morning just because? Or perhaps he remembered you love a certain author and lent you a book he found. These gestures (big or small) mean he’s thinking about you when you’re not around and cares enough to make you smile. A thoughtful gift (even as simple as a funny meme he printed out because it reminded him of you) shows you occupy his mind and he wants to win you over.

30. He supports you and shows up for you. Whether it’s attending your dance recital, cheering you on in a 5K run, or just being there when you have a bad day, a guy who likes you will have your back. You mentioned an important event coming up? He remembers and sends you a good-luck text or is there in the audience. You’re feeling down? He’s the first to ask “What’s wrong?” and listens or tries to help. Being consistently supportive – not just in fun times but when you need someone – is a sign he cares deeply.

31. He checks on you if you disappear. If you go MIA for a bit – say you were sick at home or just too busy to hang out – and he reaches out with concern, that’s a sign he noticed your absence. A simple “Hey, haven’t seen you in a while, everything okay?” text can speak volumes. It means he misses you and is worried (even if mildly) when you’re not around. He might even exaggerate like “I thought you fell off the face of the earth!” just to cover that he was genuinely concerned. Bottom line: he notices when you’re not there and it bothers him.

32. He says he misses you. Speaking of noticing your absence… if he straight up tells you “I miss you” or “I wish you were here,” that’s a bold sign of affection. Some guys might only hint at it (“We should hang out again soon, it’s been a while” or “It wasn’t the same without you”), but any indication that he’s feeling your absence is golden. Men don’t usually vocalize missing someone unless they really mean it. So if those words come out of his mouth (or via text), you’re definitely on his mind and in his heart.

33. He eventually confesses (or almost does). When a guy really likes you, at some point it often slips out one way or another. He might not plan a big declaration, but maybe he says something like, “I always have such a good time with you… maybe we should do this more often, just us,” with that look in his eyes. Or perhaps he gets a little tipsy and blurts, “You know I like you, right?” Even hints like “Any guy would be lucky to have you” could be him testing the waters. If he hasn’t directly said he likes you yet, you may catch him almost saying it or expressing it in roundabout ways. When you reach this stage, it’s pretty obvious what’s up!

Fun Fact: How Each Zodiac Guy Shows Interest (In Person)

Every guy is unique, but a little astrology insight is always fun! Here’s how different zodiac sign men might show they’re into you when you’re together:

• Aries Man: Bold and physical, an Aries guy will be direct – he’ll flirt openly, initiate dates, and might playfully touch you often. If he likes you, he won’t hide it. Expect lots of energy and maybe grand gestures.

• Taurus Man: A Taurus is more subtle, but very affectionate. He’ll spend lots of time with you, perhaps cook you dinner or give comforting hugs. He shows care through consistency and gentle, caring touches.

• Gemini Man: Chatty and playful, a Gemini man will bombard you with conversation and witty jokes. He’ll ask you a million questions and share funny stories – basically, he can’t stop engaging with you.

• Cancer Man: Shy but sweet, Cancer will show concern for your feelings. He’ll remember little things about you, be protective, and might invite you to more intimate, cozy hangouts rather than big parties.

• Leo Man: Grand gestures and showing off – that’s Leo. If a Leo man likes you, he might be a bit dramatic in wooing. Compliments, proudly introducing you to friends, and being your biggest cheerleader are his go-tos.

• Virgo Man: Virgos show interest through helpfulness and attention to detail. A Virgo guy liking you might help you organize something, fix a problem for you, or remember that super specific detail you casually mentioned.

• Libra Man: Ever the charmer, a Libra will be extra attentive and sweet. He’ll compliment you in sophisticated ways, want to accompany you to cultural events or dates, and create romantic vibes (he loves classic wooing).

• Scorpio Man: Intense eye contact is a giveaway with Scorpio. He’ll want a lot of one-on-one time, ask deep questions, and may test your interest subtly. If he likes you, his usually guarded self will focus intensely on you.

• Sagittarius Man: Fun and adventurous, a Sag man will joke around and invite you on outings or trips. He’ll be upbeat around you, maybe tease you, and will be straightforward – sometimes even blunt – about liking you.

• Capricorn Man: Traditional and steady, a Capricorn shows liking by being reliable. He’ll plan dates in advance, keep his word, and might slowly open up about his ambitions and include you in future plans.

• Aquarius Man: Quirky and friendly, Aquarius will want to connect over ideas. He might invite you to group hangouts then single you out for deep conversations. He’ll show interest by valuing your opinions and treating you as a best friend.

• Pisces Man: Dreamy Pisces will give gentle, romantic signals – maybe writing you a song or always gazing at you with puppy eyes. He’ll be very caring, want to talk about feelings, and create a little fantasy world for just the two of you.

(Keep these astrological quirks in mind when reading the signs – a confident Aries will flirt differently from a quiet Cancer, for example!)

Signs He Likes You Through Text and Social Media

In the digital age, how to tell if a guy likes you often comes down to his texting habits and social media behavior. Some guys are more expressive behind a screen. Here are signs he’s crushing on you in the tech realm:

34. He initiates conversations via text. If your phone is lighting up with his name frequently, that’s a positive sign. Guys don’t usually text just to chat with someone they’re not interested in. When he’s the one starting the conversation (“Good morning!” or a random meme midday with “this reminded me of you”), he’s trying to get your attention and keep a connection going even when you’re apart.

35. He texts you frequently (and consistently). Maybe he’s not blowing up your phone every hour (that could be a bit much), but you notice a steady stream of messages from him throughout the week. He doesn’t let a few days go by without checking in. Consistency is key – a guy who likes you will make texting a regular habit, not a once-in-a-blue-moon thing. It shows you’re on his mind often.

36. He replies quickly (most of the time). Everyone gets busy, but when a man likes you, you’ll often see that little typing bubble pop up pretty fast after you send a message. If he typically replies within minutes or not too long – especially when you know he’s free – it means he’s eager to talk to you. Even if he apologizes for a late reply, it’s usually accompanied by a reason. Prompt responses = you’re a priority.

37. He sends long or thoughtful texts. Instead of one-word answers, you get replies that actually carry the conversation forward. He might use actual sentences, ask follow-up questions, or send you jokes and anecdotes. A guy who isn’t into you might keep texts short or end the convo quickly. But if he likes you, he’ll put in effort to write back more than “lol” or “cool.” His texts might even get a little flirty or personal because he wants to deepen your connection.

38. He says good morning or good night. A message first thing in the morning like “Good morning, have a great day 🙂” or a late-night “Just got home, hope you had a good day. Sweet dreams!” are super telling. It means you’re the first or last person he’s thinking of that day. Not every guy is a morning texter, but if he’s regularly sending you day-starters or bedtime messages, he’s basically giving you prime real estate in his daily routine (awww!).

39. He’ll chat with you late into the night. Have you ever started texting in the evening and next thing you know it’s midnight and he’s still going? When neither of you wants to be the one to say goodbye, it’s a sign of mutual interest. If he’s sacrificing a bit of sleep just to keep talking to you (like replying “Not sleepy yet, you?” when it’s obvious he should be), that’s dedication. Late-night talks can get more personal too, indicating he feels comfortable with you.

40. He sends you memes, songs, or links that remind him of you. This is a modern love language! If he’s scrolling TikTok and DMs you a funny video saying “LOL this is so you,” or sends a song like “this made me think of you,” he’s letting you know you’re on his mind. Sharing content is a low-key way of bonding. It shows he wants to make you laugh and share his interests – and he’s thinking about you even when you’re not around.

41. He uses flirty emojis and nicknames. Heart eyes 😍, winky faces 😉, maybe even the blush emoji 😊 – oh my! If he peppers these into chats, he’s adding a flirty tone. Likewise, if he’s given you a cute nickname in texts (and you’re the only one he calls that), it’s a sign of affection. Emojis can convey what’s hard to say in words. So if he’s dropping “😜” or “😏” (that playful smirk) often, he’s likely trying to subtly flirt through texts.

42. He double texts or keeps the conversation going. Ever not reply for a bit and then you get another message like “…you there? 🙂” or a follow-up joke? That’s a double text – and it often means he’s eager to talk to you. He might also extend conversations with questions or by bringing up new topics just so the chat doesn’t die. For instance, if things were winding down, he might suddenly ask, “By the way, have you seen that new Marvel movie?” just to keep engaging with you.

43. He compliments you over text. Compliments aren’t only in-person. If he texts “That pic you posted today was adorable” or “You always know how to make me laugh, you’re awesome,” he’s definitely dropping hints. Some guys find it easier to express admiration via text where it’s less intimidating. So take those digital compliments as seriously as in-person ones – they show he’s paying attention to you and wants to make you feel good.

44. He isn’t shy about calling or video chatting. Texting is great, but if he likes you, he might escalate to hearing your voice or seeing your face. Does he randomly call “just to say hi” or suggest a video chat to show you something funny? Phone and video calls can feel more intimate, so if he’s initiating them, he probably wants a deeper connection. Plus, he might just miss you and want a more real-time conversation. (Also, seeing each other’s smile on FaceTime – major feels.)

45. He engages with your social media posts. In the era of Instagram and Snapchat, a lot can be said by how someone interacts with your posts. If he’s always one of the first to like or comment on your photos, throws in cute or flirty comments, or replies to your stories (“That looks delicious!” / “You look great in that color!”), he’s paying close attention. Signs he likes you on social media include: watching every story you post (and maybe even responding to them often), liking posts from way back (perhaps accidentally revealing he was scrolling through your older pics), and just a consistent presence online. It’s his way of staying connected.

46. He messages you on multiple platforms. Maybe you mostly text, but he also occasionally DMs you on Instagram or sends a funny snap on Snapchat. When a guy goes beyond one channel to communicate, he clearly wants to be in touch as much as possible. He might send you a cute goodnight Snap with a filter or tag you in a Facebook meme. Using various apps to talk to you increases interaction – and it shows he’s not leaving it to chance that you’ll see he’s interested.

47. He notices your online silence. This ties in with being attentive: if you usually post or message often and suddenly go quiet, he reaches out to check on you. For example, you don’t post your daily lunch pic, and he texts, “Hey, everything okay? Haven’t heard from you today.” It shows he’s grown accustomed to your digital presence and cares enough to notice when you’re off the grid. Essentially, he misses you in the online world just like he would in person.

48. He shares his day with you unprompted. Does he text you little updates about what he’s doing or send a selfie of him at work saying “Bored… wish you were here to make it fun”? When a guy shares random parts of his day, it means he’s thinking of you during those moments. He might not have a specific reason to text, other than wanting to talk to you. For instance, “Ugh, my meeting ran long, I’m starving now” – it’s mundane, but he’s including you in his day-to-day thoughts. It’s a sign he sees you as someone close, even if you’re not physically there.

Fun Fact: How Each Zodiac Guy Texts When He Likes You

Curious how his star sign might influence his texting style? Here’s a quick peek:

• Aries: Bold and flirty texter – expect direct “I wanna see you” messages and confident humor.

• Taurus: Slow and steady – he’ll text regularly but not excessively, often sweet check-ins (“How was your day?”).

• Gemini: Non-stop chatter – lots of texts, memes, and questions. He’ll keep you entertained.

• Cancer: Caring vibes – might send thoughtful messages like “Did you eat? How are you feeling?” and use affectionate emojis.

• Leo: Lots of compliments and maybe selfies – he’s showing off a bit and making sure you feel adored via text.

• Virgo: Proper and considerate – texts are well-thought-out, he remembers small details you mentioned and follows up.

• Libra: Very romantic and responsive – might send song lyrics, love quotes, or just very balanced, timely replies.

• Scorpio: Can be intense or surprisingly witty – he might not text constantly, but when he does, it’s meaningful or flirtatiously mysterious.

• Sagittarius: Fun and casual – jokes, spontaneous “hey let’s do this” plans via text, and maybe late replies if he’s off adventuring (but he’ll always reconnect).

• Capricorn: Straightforward and reliable – he won’t play games with texting. If he says he’ll text you later, he will. Often polite and maybe a bit formal at first.

• Aquarius: Quirky and friendly – expect random interesting articles or YouTube videos. Texts might not be super lovey-dovey, but he’s engaging your mind.

• Pisces: Emojis and emotion – he’ll send heartfelt texts about missing you or cute goodnight paragraphs. Very sweet and imaginative in his wording.

Signs He Likes You at Work

Maybe you suspect your male coworker has a crush? The workplace can be tricky territory, but there are unique signs a guy likes you at work, too. Here’s how to tell if a guy likes you in a professional setting:

49. He frequently chats with you (even when he doesn’t need to). Does he find reasons to swing by your desk or linger to talk after meetings? If he’s always popping up with a “How was your weekend?” or joking around by the coffee machine with you specifically, he’s not just being friendly – he’s drawn to you. When a guy at work goes beyond just work topics and regularly seeks you out, it’s a strong indicator you’ve caught his eye.

50. He offers help on work tasks (and beyond). That report you’re struggling with or the heavy box of files you need to move – somehow he’s always right there to assist, without you even asking. A crushy coworker will often keep an eye out for chances to make your life easier. He might volunteer to stay late to help you meet a deadline or swap shifts just so you won’t be stressed. Essentially, he’s being extra considerate and supportive, hoping you’ll notice (and appreciate) his effort.

51. He spends break times with you. Instead of hanging out with the whole crew, he often invites you to lunch or a coffee break one-on-one. He might say, “I’m grabbing a sandwich, want to come?” regularly. If you work remotely, he’s the one who messages you during lunch just to chat about non-work stuff. Choosing to spend free moments with you, when he could relax solo or with others, means he genuinely enjoys your company – a big sign he likes you.

52. He gives you special attention and compliments at work. Maybe he praises your ideas in meetings more enthusiastically than others, or he’s quick to notice and say something nice when you’re wearing a new outfit. If a guy stands out as your personal cheerleader at work – always noticing your achievements (“Great job on that presentation, I was really impressed!”) or even complimenting your style in a respectful way – he likely admires you professionally and personally.

53. He asks about your life outside of work. Sure, colleagues make small talk, but this guy goes deeper. He remembers that you mentioned your sister visiting or that you love kayaking, and he asks you about it later: “How was your time with your sister?” or “Been on any cool kayaking trips lately?” When a coworker moves beyond water-cooler chat to really get to know you as a person, he’s investing extra interest. It means during that 9-to-5, you’re not just another coworker to him – you’re someone special.

54. Your other coworkers tease you both. Office gossip can actually work in your favor here. If people around the office have picked up on his special treatment towards you, you might hear little teasing comments like, “Oh, there goes your work BFF,” or “You two should just date already!” It can be embarrassing, but also telling. If colleagues suspect there’s chemistry, it’s probably because they see the way he lights up around you or always gravitates to you during team activities. Their outsider perspective might confirm what you’re wondering.

55. He suggests hanging out outside of work. This is the big leap. After chatting and bonding during work hours, he might say, “We should totally catch that new movie this weekend,” or “A bunch of us are grabbing drinks Friday, you coming?” (and by “bunch of us,” it mysteriously ends up being just you two). If he’s trying to move things into non-work territory, it’s a definite sign those feelings aren’t just 9-to-5. He wants to see you in a setting where you’re not just coworkers – and that’s romantic interest 101.

Conclusion

Figuring out how to tell if a guy likes you can feel like decoding a secret language, but hopefully these 55 signs he likes you give you the translation guide you need. From the way he leans in when you talk, to those late-night texts and that special sparkle in his eyes – the clues are often all around you. The key is to notice patterns: one sign on its own might just be his friendly personality, but a bunch of these signs together? Girl, he’s probably head over heels (even if he hasn’t said it out loud yet).

Ultimately, every guy is a bit different. Some are bold and will let you know right away, while others show their feelings quietly through actions. Pay attention to how he treats you compared to others – that difference is usually the biggest giveaway.

And hey, trust your gut! If you feel that vibe that he’s into you, you’re likely picking up on real signals. So what’s next? You can drop some hints back, flirt a little, or even gasp ask him how he feels. Love favors the bold, after all.
