Top Ten Ways to See If He’s Really into You!

By Juliet Siu @Lacenruffles

There have been numerous articles and even a film written about how to tell if he’s not that into you. It can really hurt when it turns out to be the case and we hope you don’t ever have to endure it! In the meantime, here’s the warm and fuzzy side: how to tell if he’s really into you. Enjoy!

10. The lean-In

Body language is a sure signal of whether a guy likes you. Even the most aloof guy will find it hard to hide. The lean-in is when he seems to crane his neck in order to hear you and get closer to you. That’s a dead giveaway right there. If you like him and he’s all up in your grill, you can be sure he shares your feelings.

9. His listening skills improve

If he is really into you, you won’t need to worry about coming up with ways to get his attention. He’ll simply love hearing about your opinions, your adventures and the punch lines to your jokes.

8. He’s a bumbling mess around you

In your presence, if he’s transformed from a successful, confident and rational human being, into a somewhat pathetic single-celled organism, then you have the answer – he’s simply overwhelmed by you.

7. He has given you a pet name

If he has a pet name for you (one that’s not insulting), then it’s fair to say that he is really into you.

6. He wants to find out more about you

When he starts asking about your family, friends, beliefs, hopes and dreams, this is a positive sign. If you’ve met online on a site like eHarmony, who match people based on compatibility, you should sail through this as you’ll both have a similar way of thinking. Context is important here though – If he asks you loads of questions at home after an epic cuddle session, this is good. If he asks you these questions on a date in an interrogative, suspicious way – not so good.

5. He goes shopping with you

When you go shopping, he’s begrudgingly there holding your coat and shopping bags, while you rummage through racks and try things on.

4. His friends treat you with a mixture of fear, awe and respect

When you finally meet his friends, they all get up suddenly and nervously as you enter the room as though in the presence of royalty. They have been told to roll out the red carpet and literally fall over themselves to bring you things and do your bidding. That, my friend, is all the proof you need.

3. He tries really hard

It could be that he tries hard to make you laugh, to make you happy or even to make your life easier or more comfortable in some way. If you see him really trying hard, this is a sure sign.

2. He spends all of his spare time with you

Let’s face it – you’ve been a pier and he’s been a giant barnacle stuck to you in the past couple of weeks. That’s a sign he’s a keeper.

1. You have developed your own weird language

If you have sayings, secret words or rituals that only the two of you know about – girl… you might just be getting into something serious.
