Men are often hard to read.
They can be difficult to understand, especially when you’re trying to figure out if they like you or not.
So in order to figure out if he thinks you’re a total catch, pay attention to these 21 signs.
1) He compliments you
One way to tell if a guy likes you is if he compliments you.
- He lets you know how beautiful you are
- He compliments your style
- He appreciates your wit and tells you how clever you are
- He tells you how much he loves your sense of humor
If he thinks you’re a total catch he’ll be sure to let you know:
Simply put, if he puts you in a good light, he’s probably interested in you.
2) He tells you that he likes you
Now, this might sound a bit obvious but if a guy tells you that he likes you, well, then it’s a sure sign that he’s into you!
What further proof do you need?
3) He wants to spend time with you
Another sign that a guy thinks you’re a catch is if he shows interest in spending some time with you.
He’ll want to spend every free minute that he has with you. He’ll make sure to plan a lot of fun activities that you can do together on weekends or in the evening.
He’ll make a picnic in the park, take you cycling, or even organize a romantic boat ride.
And it doesn’t stop there.
He’ll pick you up after work and take you to dinner and a movie.
He obviously sees how special you are and doesn’t want to let you get away.
4) He invites you out
Why does a guy ask you out when he likes you?
Because he wants to spend time with you, of course.
When a guy asks you out, it’s because he really likes you and wants to spend more time with you. He doesn’t want to keep things on the down-low; he wants to take things to the next level.
Now:
Whether it’s coffee or lunch, a drink at a bar or a club, or even a movie or show, just know that when he asks you out, it’s because he likes spending time with you and wants to get closer. And this could be the start of something beautiful!
5) He smiles and laughs a lot around you
When a guy laughs and smiles around you, it’s because he feels good in your presence. He has fun and enjoys your company.
So if he’s laughing and smiling with you all the time, it’s because he really likes spending time with you.
Here’s another thing, when a guy likes you, he’ll let his guard down and just be himself around you. And what you’ll see is someone who is relaxed, confident, and comfortable in his own skin.
He won’t try to impress or show off like he might do with other girls because he doesn’t have to try as hard when he’s around the person that he likes. His true self will shine through because they feel safe enough to do so.
6) He finds excuses to make physical contact
From a lingering hug when you meet – to brushing your hair away from your face – to putting a hand on your knee as he talks to you.
If a guy is into you he’ll find excuses to make physical contact.
This means that he wants to get closer to you. He wants to show you that he’s interested and that he has feelings for you.
For example, if you’re both walking down the street, he’ll take your hand or put his arm around your shoulder. Or maybe if you’re watching TV together, he’ll reach out and put his hand on your thigh or knee.
He does this because it feels natural for him. It’s perfectly normal for a guy who likes a girl to touch her in the ways that we’ve described above because it makes him feel good.
It’s true, when a guy feels good around a girl, touching her is usually the first thing that comes to mind!
7) He goes out of his way to see you
When a guy goes out of his way to see you, it’s because he wants to spend more time with you and get closer to you.
He doesn’t want to waste any time. He wants to be with you as much as possible.
No matter how busy he is or how complicated his schedule is, he’ll go out of his way to see you because he really likes you and thinks you’re worth the effort!
8) He introduces you to his friends
When a guy introduces you to his friends it’s because he wants them to know that you’re special and important to him.
You see, introducing you to his friends means that he is proud to have you in his life and wants others to know that.
It’s a way for him to show you off.
He likes spending time with you and wants everyone to know that he has a great girl in his life and is very happy about it.
9) He wants to be your friend
One reason a guy wants to be friends with you is that he likes you and wants to get closer to you.
Now:
He’s not only attracted to you but sees your other qualities and wants to be your friend, it’s a sure sign that he thinks you’re a catch!
He wants to hang out with you because he likes you. He thinks you’re amazing and he wants to get to know you better.
Another reason could be that he’s scared of rejection because you’re such a great catch, so instead of asking you out straight away, he decides to be your friend and move at his own pace.
He doesn’t try to rush things or make anything happen between you two because he’s smart enough to know that if it’s meant to be, it will happen.
10) He laughs at your jokes
If a guy laughs at your jokes, it’s because he finds them funny and he thinks you’re a pretty funny person.
People with a sense of humor aren’t always easy to find so if he appreciates your jokes and you share the same type of humor, there’s something there.
He likes the way that you make him feel. He enjoys your company and wants to be around you all the time.
Let me explain:
Laughing at your jokes is a way for him to show affection and show that he’s comfortable around you. It’s a sign that he feels good when he’s with you, it’s a sign that he thinks highly of you and thinks that your jokes are funny!
This is another one of those signs that let you know if a guy likes you because it shows how much fun he has with you. He enjoys being around someone who makes him laugh, someone who can brighten up his day.
11) He wants to spend time with you one-on-one
If he’s spending time with you one-on-one, it’s because he wants to be with you and doesn’t want anyone else around. It means that he wants to get to know you better and build a strong connection with you.
He doesn’t want any distractions and wants the chance to get to know you on a more intimate level. He sees that there could be something between the two of you and is taking the opportunity to spend time with you, to see where things could go.
When a guy likes someone, he will want to spend as much time as possible with that person, so if your crush is trying hard to hang out one-on-one with you, then it’s because he likes you and wants to get to know you better.
He’s serious about getting to know you better. He sees potential in you and wants to see where it goes.
Why not give it a go?
12) He stumbles over his words
Is he so nervous around you that he keeps stumbling over his words?
Thing is, he wants to impress you because he thinks you’re a catch.
He’s scared about saying the wrong thing. He might also stumble over his words because he’s nervous about what you’re thinking.
He might be hesitant to tell you how much he likes you, scared that you’ll laugh or reject him.
He wants to know if you like him before saying anything.
If a guy stumbles over his words when talking to a girl, then there’s definitely something between them!
It means that he likes her and is nervous about whether or not she likes him back.
13) You catch him staring at you – he’s infatuated with you
Why does a guy stare at a girl he likes?
First of all, because he’s infatuated with her and can’t keep his eyes off her.
Second of all, he’s trying to figure out what she’s thinking. He wants to figure out what makes her tick.
So if you find a guy staring at you, it’s because he likes you and wants to see if you have the same feelings for him that he has for you.
He wants to see how you react when he looks at you, if your eyes meet and have a conversation or if they just look away.
14) He leans toward you when you speak
If you’re in a noisy bar then it makes sense that he’ll lean toward you to hear you better.
But if you’re somewhere quiet and a guy leans toward you when talking, then it means that he likes the way you talk and is interested in getting to know you better.
It means that he wants to get closer to you, that he’s interested in pursuing a relationship.
He’s not trying to be rude, he just wants to get as close as possible without being too pushy.
He doesn’t want to scare you off by getting too close, but he also wants his intentions to be clear and isn’t afraid of rejection.
Make sure you both feel comfortable about the interaction.
15) He’s really paying attention to what you have to say
When a guy really likes a girl, he’ll listen to what she has to say. He’ll hang on her every word. He’ll ask questions to make sure he understands what she’s saying.
He’ll be sure to ask her opinion on a myriad of topics.
He’s not interested in her only for her looks but also for her brains. He wants to know how she thinks. What she likes and what she dislikes.
You can tell that he really digs you if you find him actually paying attention – and not pretending – to what you’re saying.
16) He notices and remembers things about you that most people don’t
Does he notice every little thing about you? Does he remember to ask about your sick dog or how your job interview went?
In my own experience, this is a guy who is really paying attention. He really likes you.
He’s thinking about what makes you tick and he’s keeping a mental list of all the little things that make you unique.
17) He makes eye contact
Eye contact is an important part of human communication. It’s also a necessary part of any relationship.
So why is eye contact so important? The main reason eye contact is important is because it’s a way for us to see the emotions and body language of someone else.
By looking into another person’s eyes, we have the chance to understand their feelings, thoughts, and intentions.
In addition to that, eye contact helps us feel more connected with others in social situations while sharing intense moments together.
So if his eyes meet yours and they don’t look away, it’s a sign that he really likes you.
18) He’s awkward whenever he talks to you
When you meet a guy for the first time, he may feel a little awkward around you.
He may not know what to say or how to act.
Now:
This is normal because guys don’t really know how to be around girls. He’s probably nervous about approaching you, so he’s not making any move at all.
This is especially true if he thinks you’re a total catch!
19) He shares his interests with you
If a guy shares his interests with you, it shows that he’s interested in you and he wants to get to know you better.
He’s not afraid of looking silly or being a nerd – he’s comfortable being himself around you – you don’t intimidate him.
It shows that he’s willing to share himself with you and open up about his life and that he trusts you enough to be vulnerable around you.
20) He looks for your reaction when he makes a comment or joke
When he says something he immediately turns to you to see your reaction. He wants your approval. It’s important that you appreciate what he said, your opinion comes above all others.
If he makes a joke, he wants to see if you’re laughing or not. If you are, he knows his joke was funny and if you weren’t, he’ll make sure to try it again in another way.
He doesn’t want to embarrass himself in front of you so he wants to make sure that your laughter is genuine.
21) He makes himself look good for you
If you’re seeing a guy who dresses up and grooms himself for you, it’s because he is making an effort to look good for you. He really likes you and wants you to like him back. He wants you to pick him over other guys.
Simply put, this is a guy who wants to be the best version of himself to impress you.
