How to know if your friend is in love with you: 15 unmistakable clues

You thought they were just friends… But wait, could he really like you?

Have you had this doubt lately with a friend?

Why do men seem unable to share their emotions and tell you exactly what they are feeling?

Without confusion, without laps and without assumptions.

If you’re like me, you probably want to be straight, so let’s unravel the mystery of whether your friend likes you.

Here you will find the 14 signs to find out if your friend has feelings for you.

Some color data before.

Surely you have heard of the famous “friendzone”, but do you know exactly what it means?

There is a difference between being friends or entering the “friend zone”

The issue of friendship between man and woman generates much debate. Keep reading that we will deepen a little later.

The truth is that when you make friends with a guy, you both like each other, and neither of you is interested in a romantic relationship. A true friendship, period.

The friend zone is a little different. It happens when two people are friends (as in a friendship), but one person starts to have feelings for the other and the other doesn’t.

Awkward, I know.

In fact, the entire relationship changes.

One part is disappointed by their unrequited feelings, while the other part is frustrated by it.

Now let’s get back to your friend. If he had feelings for you, would you share them? You need to figure this out and think about how this could change your relationship.

There are three options:

You find out that he has feelings, but you don’t share them: this means it’s time to “friendzone” him and deal with the impact of this on your friendship. You realize that he has no feelings and neither do you. Excellent! You can keep that friendship strong. You find out he doesn’t have feelings, but you do. You end up in the “friend zone” and you need to consider what this means to you.

We return to our question:

Can a man and a woman just be friends… or is there always something more?

Let’s face it, we all have that one friend in our group who just can’t seem to “just” be friends with a guy. But can we generalize for all men and women by saying that there is no such thing as friendship between a man and a woman?

It’s safe to say that the investigation is against it in this case.

Although many do not believe in true male-female friendship, many experience it.

Many times there are incompatible desires between men and women, which can lead to the examples that we mentioned before.

But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. It’s about finding someone who has friendship intentions that match yours. And it is essential to maintain good communication (easier said than done!).

No matter where you stand on this issue, you are not alone.

You’re not the first person in a great friendship, wondering, “Does he like me?”

Let’s take a closer look at how he acts around you and treats you to respond to it.

15 signs that your friend has feelings for you

1) You sense it

Let’s take a moment here to talk about that instinct of yours.

We are always told to trust our instincts. So why wouldn’t we trust them when it comes to our relationships?

What is your gut telling you? Is there any reason why you’re suddenly wondering if that guy you’ve been friends with for a while now likes you?

It may be time to start an open and honest conversation about feelings to get to the bottom of your feelings.

Of course, if you need a little more conviction to back up that intuition, keep reading!

2) He is always there for you

Think of all those times in your friendship when you have needed someone. Was he there for you?

That time you were sick and needed ginger tea When you failed a test or were stressed and needed an ear The time you felt sad and needed ice cream and a good movie When you were frustrated and needed to blow off steam

Are you usually very present in those moments? Well, it’s time to open your eyes. This guy is already treating you like a girlfriend!

I mean, if he’s willing to put up with your favorite chick flick, there’s got to be something else going through his head…

In fact, there’s a new theory in relationship psychology that goes to the heart of why men will always be there for the women they care about.

It’s called the hero instinct, and it shows how men are attracted to women who make them feel needed and appreciated.

3) He asks you a lot of questions

Men are not usually the best listeners. This is something that is important to recognize in any relationship with a man. Be careful with expectations, if you do not generate them you have less chance of disappointment.

If your friend hangs on your every word and asks you questions about your life, there may be something else here.

Of course, he could be a good friend and one of those rare men who actually pays attention.

You can pass!

But let’s be real. A lot of guys aren’t going to put the effort into those little things unless they really care.

Pay attention the next time you talk to him. Are you asking all the right questions and digging deeper into your life?

4) Jokes are the order of the day

And this point has several faces.

For one thing, if you’re the butt of his jokes, something’s up. When a boy takes you for a joke, it is a sign that he sees you differently from the others.

He is probably looking to see how you react or get your attention.

On the other hand, it will be even more clear that he likes you if you notice that he is constantly trying to make you laugh.

Humor connects us, if you see that he does everything to see your smile, it is because seeing you happy is the only thing that matters to him.

Lastly, if he has feelings for you, any joke you tell will be funny to him. Even if it’s not funny to others. It’s that he sees you with different eyes and he loves everything you say.

5) Social networks tell you

Ah, social networks.

Where we can learn about each other’s lives without ever having to pick up the phone or catch up in person.

Enter and take a look at their social networks. Do other women appear in your photos? I think it’s true to assume that you have a few women in your life, do they show up on your networks?

If you don’t see any signs of the female gender there, but keep bumping into your own face, it’s time to read the signs.

If you’re showing up again and again on his feed, then it’s safe to say that you are very special to him and there are possibly some feelings in there.

You can even check your own social networks and see if the same thing happens on your profile? It might help you clarify your own feelings…

Another thing to keep in mind is how often your posts are liked:

If he likes your posts regularly and always has, then it just shows that he’s a great friend. If he’s never paid much attention to your social media, but now likes or comments on all your posts, then something has changed somewhere along the way…

6) Look into his eyes

It’s true, staring at him can be a little weird, or suspicious… for both of you.

But the truth is that the eyes are really the window to the soul.

The next time he talks to you, make eye contact and pay attention.

Our eyes don’t lie. If your friend hides his feelings from you, his eyes will show the answer.

How can you verify this without it being awkward?

Next time, make eye contact with him. One of two things will happen:

He will walk away or look away: either he doesn’t like you, or he’s not ready for you to know the truth. He’ll look you in the eye – this deep look is him looking for a connection, and it’s hard to ignore!

He could also be trying to look into your eyes to read what you’re feeling.

Glance at him from time to time to see if you catch him watching you.

He can’t take his eyes off you, so he clearly likes you!

7) He protects you

This applies to men in general.

If this friend of yours seems to be going out of his way to protect you, it’s probably a sign of more than friendship.

The male brain is simply wired differently from ours. It has a biological instinct to protect.

Think of different situations you might have been in:

If you argue with another person: do you intervene? When you leave a party: does he offer to go with you to make sure you get home safely? You feel sad: do you drop everything to come and cheer you up? When you feel uncomfortable: does he help you get out of the situation?

All of these are strong indicators of hero instinct. I mentioned this concept before

Above all, men want to feel important to the woman in their lives. If he does all of that and more, there’s no question he wants more than friendship.

8) Your friends tell you

It’s time to confide in your other friends and see what they’ve noticed. They are further removed from the situation, so they will be able to see things objectively.

Sometimes when we are in the situation, we get caught up in our own feelings and only see what we want.

Suddenly your friends seem to suspect something. Do they question anything about your behavior? Do they ask you if something else is going on?

Your friends wouldn’t ask these questions unless they saw something that made them question it.

9) Your credit card is always available

Have you ever read about the 5 love languages? We all have a prominent love language, and you can also guess that of others if you are attentive.

If this friend is constantly footing the bill for you, they are trying to show that they care.

Possibly you are trying to fulfill one of the 5 love languages, which is gift giving.

Without even uttering a single word, he is screaming “I care about you”.

It is important not to misunderstand things here. Friends step in and indulge each other from time to time. This is just a normal part of friendship and caring for each other.

If your friend is paying most of the time for no specific reason, like a birthday or a celebration, that’s a good sign of how he feels.
