You have spent a lot of time with this man and things have been fantastic.

You can not deny it; You’re starting to really like it.

Maybe it’s the one?

The problem is that you don’t know if the same thing is happening to him…

It seems so, but you’re still not sure.

I understand you. You don’t want to make assumptions and lose your mind.

Everything they have experienced so far can give you false hope.

Don’t worry! I’m here to help you find out.

Here are 16 Undeniable Signs He’s Hooking Up With You

1) He looks you straight in the eye

People’s eyes tend to look around.

But what if a man is looking at you so intently that he can’t stop looking at you?

So you might like him.

Payal Patel, a marriage and family therapist, says that,

“Eye contact is vital for nonverbal communication. Show attention and interest in what the other person says.»

A 2006 study found that a mutual gaze is an “arousal stimulus.”

This increases our ability to remember what is shared with us.

So pay attention to the way he looks.

Fixed eye contact can mean that he is interested in you.

He surely wants to hear what you have to say and remember it.

On the other hand, if he breaks eye contact with you, it may be disinterest.

Although this is not a sufficient reason to define if he cares about you or not.

Don’t be discouraged!

2) Touches you casually

Body language is usually key when it comes to understanding the other.

Does he guide you through a crowded room with his hand gently on your back?

Does your arm rub lightly when you walk together?

Does he touch your hand when he tells you something he wants to hit you?

Does his knee brush against you, or does his foot accidentally hit you under a table?

Attention! These are cues that show how he feels when you’re around.

People touch other people they like when they are looking for affection.

Or when they want to establish a connection or try to communicate a need.

And when a man tries to make physical contact, it usually means that he likes you.

He definitely wants to be close to you.

3) Their feet point towards you

Another body language cue to look out for is their feet.

Notice them. Are they facing you when he is around?

If so, chances are you’re on his mind. surprised?

Have you ever heard the saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul?

Well, the feet follow close behind.

Did you know that the direction in which a person’s feet point says a lot?

It has been discovered that it is a subconscious choice that signals what interests us.

The feet are also involved in the unconscious fight or flight response.

That is, when a person is in danger, for example.

They can also be very revealing in a social setting.

Success Signals: Understanding Body Language author Patti Wood says:

“The feet tend to point where the heart wants to go.”

So if his feet are pointing towards you, don’t hesitate.

It is a sign that he likes you and that he wants to go where you are.

4) Leans in when talking to you

As with feet pointing at you, bowing is a signal to look out for.

It usually indicates that he wants to get closer to you.

Leaning forward is also another non-verbal way of communicating.

If he does, he wants to show you that he is engaged and paying attention.

Notice the movements of his body.

If a guy opens his stance towards you, that’s a good sign.

For example, opening an arm or a knee to close the circle around you.

This is a sign of openness and a willingness to listen and interact with you.

And if he leans in when he talks to you, it’s a sure bet he likes you.

If he can hear you perfectly and leans in anyway, it’s more than clear.

This means that he is interested in you and what you have to say.

If he walks away from you, his interest may not be that great.

5) He asks you if you’re seeing someone

If he asks if you’re seeing someone, he wants to know if you’re “busy.”

Obviously, your question may mask some jealousy as well.

Although he is trying to find out if you already have a partner or are dating someone.

He probably likes you and is interested in getting to know you more.

Or you ask because you want to get information about your competition.

Keep in mind that not all guys can ask directly.

Some will say they are single and wait for you to say you are too.

So if you like him, be honest with him.

That way, he can plan his next move with you.

Which, hopefully, will involve a dinner date or a few drinks.

6) He puts effort into your conversations

You may not know what to say or start a weird or awkward conversation.

But be sure that a guy likes you when he makes an effort to talk to you.

He’s trying to get a chance to get to know you better.

So, pay attention to how he comes across and behaves in conversation.

If he doesn’t seem to know much about the things they talk about, watch how he responds.

Surely, he will continue to show his interest through his listening skills.

This indicates that you want to find out and learn more about the things you like.

Listening helps him get to know you better and show you how much you mean to him.

His voice also gives you the pattern of his interest.

You’ll know he’s making an effort to talk to you if his voice is deep and present.

For example, by asking you follow-up questions about what you’re saying.

Plus, if he brings up things you’ve talked about in the past, even better!

Psychologist Betsy Chung says in this regard that,

“This shows that he’s trying to bond with you.”

You already know, if he pays attention and retains what you say, it’s a good sign.

7) He texts you regularly

If he already has your phone, he will find a way to contact you frequently.

If, instead, you write to him. Pay attention to the following:

Did you take the time it takes to reply to your messages?

Have you noticed if he continues the conversation or cuts it off abruptly?

Do you try to start conversations or send messages for no reason?

Of course, your level of work commitment will indicate whether or not you have time for this.

It is not the same as someone who is in the office all day, that is, with a lot of work.

But usually when he’s interested in you, he tries to talk back.

And, more than anything, take advantage of your virtual conversations.

8) He lingers in a hug

A hug can be difficult to interpret.

Anyone you’re friends with could give you one.

However, if he is one to give you hugs, be on the lookout.

Try to pay more attention to the way he hugs you.

It’s important to notice if he lingers during a quick hug.

If so, you probably want it to mean something else.

In addition to enjoying that moment of contact with you and wanting to prolong it.

Life coach and therapist KeVonya Webb-Riley says about it:

“If he puts your arms over his shoulder when hugging you, it’s a sign that he likes you, as it’s an easy position to move into a kiss.”

So now you know. She begins by reading her hug and finds out how she carries it out.

9) Respect your limits

When you meet someone new, it’s important to set boundaries.

It doesn’t matter if they are small or big.

They may not kiss until the second or third date.

Or that it is not having sex until you are ready.

The important thing is that you feel safe and respected.

After explaining your limits, it’s crucial to see how you react to them.

A guy who is serious about you will not try to force you to do what he wants.

He will respect your limits and wait for you or leave him aside.

She will even go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and cared for.

Do you notice that it is not so?

Does he try to manipulate you into crossing that line with some logical argument? Then you know he doesn’t like you enough.

He’s not showing respect for your decisions.

Ask yourself if it’s really worth pursuing a relationship with him.

What you don’t respect today, you may not respect tomorrow.

10) He asks you to go out with him

It is quite obvious that he is interested in spending quality time with you.

But being asked out by a guy can be confusing.

Sometimes, more than a date, it can be a simple friendly invitation.

Although if he is the one who initiates the date, then it is likely that it will follow through.

Also, notice how much effort he puts in and how he does it.

Trying really hard to impress you is a good sign.

It usually reveals that he likes you and is willing to risk more.

He knows that spending time with you alone is his chance to get to know you better.

Not to mention that the probability of things becoming romantic increases.

It’s easier to achieve that long-awaited first kiss when you’re alone, right?

11) He listens to you

If you dare to tell him your life story, how does he react?

Do you smile while talking? Does he frown?

If he gesticulates based on what you tell him, he’s not trying to make fun of you.

On the contrary, this shows that he is fully engaged and listening to you. He is subconsciously interested in you and wants to create a connection.

Take it as a good sign.

12) He remembers everything and every little detail about you

Not everyone remembers everything about a person until they become close.

Generally, there are men who are not good at remembering details.

So if he remembers something you said that you’ve already forgotten, then he likes you.

Relationship and intimacy coach Azaria Menezes advises:

“pay attention to how he is listening to you.

If he does it just to respond or if he actively listens to you because he cares.»

Does he remember little things like the way you drink your coffee?

So he likes you.

Remember even smaller details, like the name of your favorite teacher?

Or how you got that little scar on the back of your knee?

So he really likes you.

13) He introduces you to his friends

If he introduces you to his friends and tries to make a good impression on you, it’s important.

Take it as a sign that he really likes you.

If he takes you to parties where all his friends are, even better.

It is a sign that he is more interested in you than a friend and wants to show off you.

Take it as a compliment.

Because if not, why would he introduce you if he’s not interested in you for anything else?

You mean something to him, and this is his way of seeing how you fit into his world.

According to April Davis, a dating coach, it bodes well if:

“He introduces you to people close to him, as he sees things get exclusive between you.

He wants to gauge what you think of the people he cares about the most and see if you would get along with them.”

14) Go out with your friends

If he is more than willing to go out with your girlfriends, he likes you more than as a friend.

It is likely that he sees you as a potential stablemate.

So, you want to make a good impression with your loved ones.

He knows that getting his approval will be important to you.

He will understand that your friends are your life, just like his close friends are for him.

He also wants them to know that he means business with you and to show them that he will take good care of you.

If he knows you fit into his world, he also wants you to see how you fit in…
