How to Know if a Guy Is Into You or Not: Subtle Cues Guys Give Away

Are you wondering how to know if a guy is into you or not? If you’re confused, I’ve got you covered with these signs that reveal his heart.

Figuring out how to know if a guy is into you or not can be complicated. Some guys are major flirts. Some guys are flirting because they want something. And others are actually into you.

But, how can you tell the difference between a guy that seems into you and a guy who is actually into you?

Well, there are a lot of ways to know if a guy is into you or not. You just have to know where to look for them and how to spot them. Often a guy won’t come straight out and tell you he’s into you. Sometimes he will, but he won’t act like it or vice versa. So, how do you read between the lines?

I wish it was as easy as asking him if he’s into you and getting an honest answer, but I’m sure you know that dating and even pre-dating is never that simple. You’ll have to take note of his actions and how he behaves around you to know if a guy is into you or not.

Why do you want to know if a guy is into you?

This may seem like a silly question but stay with me. If you like a guy, it makes sense that you would want to know if he is into you. You want to know if you should make a move or move on. But, if you think a guy you don’t like is into you, you can clear the air without knowing for sure.

Usually, guys that are into you will make it pretty obvious, which we’ll get to them. However, if you aren’t interested, you don’t need to take the time to read the signs. You shouldn’t have to deal with unwanted romantic attention from someone. Even if they don’t mean for it to bother you, if it does, you have the right to say so. [Read: How to reject and turn down a guy nicely without hurting him]

If someone at work is hitting on you or flirting with you, let them know you want to keep things professional. If it is a friend or acquaintance, let them know you’d prefer to keep things platonic. They may ask for a reason. You don’t owe them one.

Now, when you want to know if a guy is into you because you’re into him, things get a bit more intense.

How to know if a guy is into you for sure

Unless you are psychic, figuring out how a guy feels about you can seem impossible. They say one thing but do another. They do one thing then say something that throws you off. With all the mixed messages, it is no wonder you came here looking for some clarity.

When it comes to guys, I’ve learned that actions speak louder than words. A guy can say all the right things, but if his actions don’t match, those words don’t mean much.

#1 He makes eye contact. A guy who is into you will connect with you when you’re talking. While some guys will nod at what you’re saying while looking at their phone, he will make a point to look you in the eye.

#2 He goes out of his way to see you. Whether he drives a long distance to see you or goes out of his routine to make time for you, he likes you. A guy who isn’t into you won’t make things more complicated or hard on himself just to see you for a few minutes. [Read: The signs he is fighting his feelings for you and holding back]

#3 He remembers things you say. It isn’t just guys. All of us forget small details from time to time. When a guy is into you, he will remember that you said your grandma’s birthday was this weekend or that you couldn’t wait to see a new movie. He will followup and talk to you about things you only said in passing.

#4 He introduces you to people in his life. Whether he introduces you to a coworker, his family, or friends, he wouldn’t make a point to do that if he wasn’t into you. He wants to see how you interact with the people in his life.

#5 He helps you when you ask. A guy who is into you will jump at the chance to help you with something. But, he won’t assume you need help. If you say you need help moving or that the copy machine is busted, he will help without complaint but he won’t just take control if you don’t need it.

#6 He’ll reach out first. A guy who is truly into you will have no problem texting you first, calling you, or even double texting. He will send you funny memes, a picture of something weird he saw outside, and make a point to actually talk to you. [Read: How guys text when they like you – 15 things they do differently]

#7 He ignores his phone around you. Whether you’re hanging out at the bar or he just stopped by your desk at work to chat, he will keep his phone away around you. If you’re wondering how to know if a guy is into you or not, remember that a guy who likes you will want to make the most of your time together, even just a few minutes.

#8 He makes small touches. A guy who likes you will be slower to make a move but will show you subtle signs of his intentions. He may remove lint from your sweater, put his arm around you when walking, or just graze your arm. Someone who isn’t into you will probably make a point not to touch you.

#9 He does small things for you. I don’t mean he’ll buy you flowers just because he’s into you, but he will pick up a coffee for you when he’s getting himself one. He’ll save the last donut from the meeting for you. And he’ll walk you to your car at the end of the day.

#10 He smiles around you. Most guys don’t smile unless they’re truly happy. Once they grow up, they lose that childish happiness. If he is smiling around you, there is a good chance he is into you. [Read: How guys flirt – 15 subtle things guys do when they like you]

#11 He encourages you. A guy who is into you wants you to be happy. If you mention you’ve always wanted to go skydiving and you got the opportunity, he will encourage you to do it. A guy who isn’t into you will apply his own agenda.
