30 signs that a man really likes you

Have you met someone special and wonder how to know if they like you too? Do you feel that there is a mutual attraction, but you need to be sure?

Well today you will know all those signs that yes, that a man likes you very much. And no matter how hard he tries to hide it, he can’t.

Maybe it would be much easier to ask him, but you’re afraid that it might expose you and push him away.

You have nothing to worry about. Because there are many attitudes and signs that, if you pay attention, will clearly tell you if he likes you or just wants you as a friend.

In this guide we will talk about the 30 obvious and not so obvious signs to know if a man really likes you.

1. He can’t take his eyes off you

One of the most obvious signs when a man really likes you is that he will not be able to stop looking at you.

Studies show that men are visual creatures. That means, they can’t help but show interest in those things they consider beautiful. So if you catch him looking at you, especially if you’re not paying attention, he definitely likes you.

Also, eye contact is part of our biological mating ritual. We do this, because it makes stronger romantic connections. So, it will be a big bonus, if he is trying to get your attention and keep eye contact with you.

2. He feels like a hero around you.

In my experience, this is the #1 reason why a guy falls for a girl.

Feeling like a hero is something that men crave, and even need, in any relationship with a woman. More than love. And even more than sex.

I know, I didn’t really believe it the first time I heard it either. But believe me, their biological instincts can be very strong, and you can take advantage of them.

There is a new concept in modern psychology that is resonating a lot today, and it hits the nail on the head as to why men fall in love with some women and not others.

3. He won’t stop grinning like a fool when you’re around

Do you notice that he is always happy when he is around you? Does she walk around with a huge, goofy smile? Does he laugh exaggeratedly when you tell him something funny?

There is a reason why love makes us so content and happy. There are studies that show that when we are in the early stages of attraction or falling in love, our bodies begin to produce “love chemicals” such as serotonin and oxytocin. These are literally our body’s happy hormones.

In fact, there are professionals in the field who have spent years studying what are the factors that make a man fall in love with a woman.

4. He has kissed you on the forehead

The kiss on the forehead is something very special because it shows tenderness and respect for the other person.

It may also be associated with a more brotherly or family affection. It is a show of immense affection and even love.

It means that that person is happy by your side, that they feel comfortable. It is also a rather intimate and unusual kiss, so if a man has given you one of these kisses, it is likely that he cares a lot about you.

5. He jokes with you or uses double meaning phrases

It is very likely that if a man is constantly teasing you or saying phrases with double meanings, he is trying to get your attention and show his interest in a not so obvious way.

Does he always take you for jokes or does he tell you insinuating phrases in a humorous tone?

Well, it may be a sign that he wants something more with you because obviously he likes you a lot.

You should pay attention to the other signs if what you want is to know if he really likes you, beyond a physical attraction.

6. He fixates on your mouth

If he looks at your lips and mouth a lot when you’re talking to him, it may be a sign that he wants to kiss you.

It is a more subtle sign but also a good indicator of his interest in you.

Of course, this does not mean that anyone who notices your lips is willing to kiss you, but it can be an indication, along with other signs, that they like you.

Observing the other person’s lips is an unconscious gesture and that is why its meaning is stronger since we do it without realizing it.

7. His body language screams that he likes you.

Experts suggest that body language makes up 60% of communication.

So pay attention to what your body tells you. And not only this, but it is also an essential part of how to create attraction.

The important thing to keep in mind is that it’s not just a cue from her body language, but rather, a series of physical attitudes that show that she wants you to be more than just her friend.

One sign to watch out for is something called “mirroring.” It is when a person unconsciously imitates the words you use, your gestures, or the position of your body, to establish affinity.

Body language expert and behavior analyst Jack Schafer explains: “People who are attracted mirror their body positions. Mirroring can help establish affinity and can also be used to tell if the person you are talking to likes you. It sends a subconscious signal to the person you’re with that you like them and they’ll be more likely to like you as a result.”

There are many other non-verbal signals that you can take into account when understanding if a man really likes you.

If when he sees you, he raises his eyebrows slightly Takes care of his clothes and is careful to look good You find him doing a visual “scan” Keeps his mouth half open when talking
He plays with the buttons on his shirt.

These are all unconscious signs that he has a desire for you.

8. He wants to know you deeply

You can easily determine a guy’s intentions based on his level of interest in you. If he never asks you anything personal or intimate, chances are he isn’t that interested in you.

However, if a guy really wants to get to know you – not just about your day or your favorite food – but about who you are, your past, the shady and unglamorous details of your life, then he likes you. And a lot.

According to dating expert Julie Krafchick:

“If they make an effort to name a minor detail or interaction you mentioned, it means they were paying attention and subconsciously investing in a future with you.”

You will know that he wants more than a friendship, if he wants to know the real you – including the not-so-beautiful parts.

9. He always pays attention to you

Men have a reputation for being distracted. And at some point that is true. There is a large body of research suggesting that men’s brains are wired very differently than women’s.

While the woman’s mind is much more intuitive and perceptive, the man’s is more logical and fact-based.

So it is quite accurate to say that if he pays more attention to you than normal, it is because he likes you a lot.

Men do not casually retain your favorite flower or the name of your childhood dog. They choose to pay attention to those details of yours, why they are interested.

10. He looks for common ground with you

One of the surest signs that a man likes you is if he is constantly looking for common ground.

If you are talking about your tastes or hobbies, and he gets excited when you agree on something, it is very likely that he likes you, and he feels identified with you.

If you tell him that you like yoga, and he immediately tells you that he would love to try it sometime or that he has started practicing it, it is a sure sign of a strong attraction.

Sharing hobbies is a way to connect on a romantic and emotional level. Just as we talked before about the mirror movements of the body, the fact of sharing likes will be a good indicator that he likes you.

11. He has details and is kind to you

A man is definitely interested in you, if he makes an extra effort to see you happy.

As I mentioned before, our bodies produce “happiness hormones” when we are in love. But sweaty hands and butterflies in the stomach aren’t the only consequence – these chemicals also affect our brain’s reward system.

According to a 2016 study, these chemicals lead us to “acquire and retain” emotions that we need for our “survival and reproduction.” This explains why we put so much effort into making someone like us. Why it increases our chances of being successful romantically.

Try to notice how a man treats you. He is considerate and sweet? Does he go out of his way to make you feel happy, safe and comfortable? If he does, the chances are very high that he really likes you.

But be careful, see if he is especially chivalrous with you or does it with everyone. Noticing a difference will give you a clearer idea.

12. He’s not worried about being vulnerable with you.

We all have the difficulty of allowing ourselves to be vulnerable in love and open up to another.

Especially for men who are culturally programmed to be strong and not show their emotions. That’s why it’s particularly revealing when a guy shows you his vulnerability.

According to Dr. Lisa Kaplin:

“When men are vulnerable they invite their partners into their lives. His partner feels closer to him, which leads to an improvement in all aspects of the relationship.

Vulnerable men teach something about themselves that allows women to understand them better and to be available in a way that would not be possible without that vulnerability.”

If he’s completely open with you, it means he’s ready to be emotionally available. And that’s not something men are willing to do, unless you really are someone important to them.

13. Your friends and loved ones know about you

This is no surprise. If you want to know if a man really likes you, just look at what he tells – or how much he tells – his family and friends about you.

For something the famous phrase among men: “A gentleman has no memory.” And while men may not share intimate details of their relationships, recent studies suggest that they do like to share about their “personal, love and relationship problems” with their male friends.

Have you met his friends or his family? Have they talked about you before? Or do you feel that he keeps you as a secret? The answer will show you the depth of his feelings.
