If he does any of these things, he’s SO into you

It can sometimes seem impossible to know when a guy likes you. There are so many signs a guy likes you if you pay close attention to his behavior, but when a guy makes it known, we're left pretty speechless, floored and in shock that someone is that genuinely into us.

Our insecurities can be so fiercely present that we're completely blindsided by the fact. When I see guys staring at me on the train I ask myself 'does he like me or something' or 'Is he really into me'. With the slightest glance I think It's my last day on earth living the single life. But as it turns out, I'm playing mind games with myself, thinking he's going to make the first move, but just ends up leaving the train (and me) entirely.

So, the next time you're theorizing how to know if a guy likes you, follow these breadcrumbs leading you to the light of love.

When a guy stares at you, he's into you

Don't be too alarmed when a guy looks at you and your beauty for lengths of time like he wants to eat your intestines, sometimes, that's just his everyday face.

Guys are weird and subtlety is not in their vernacular, so if he's acting strange and you catch him watching you, he either likes you or has an unnatural obsession.

He'll act shy around you

There are few men who make it obvious they're digging you. In the event that he's the type of guy who's bodacious and loud around his friends, but a quiet boy in front of you, you can get a head start on that promposal you had imagined in your head.

Any sort of behavior that's specific to you and your presence is a dead giveaway that he likes you. The only way to really be able to know he's down for your ass is that he likes you.

When a guy asks you dumb-as-fuck questions that could be Googled

Guys will actually talk to you about shit like if it's going to rain later when there's an actual thunderstorm currently happening right outside your window. It's one of the biggest signs a guy likes you and never have I ever been wrong about it in my own experience.

We put a lot of pressure on guys to make the first move and I'll be the first to admit I'm no ray of sunshine when a guy approaches me. I want to see them break down my defense wall before he can even get my first name. I suggest you do the same. Don't ever make it easy on these fellows, girl.

When a guy calls you cute and other random compliments

If it isn't obvious he likes you, then guuuurrrl you are as blind as a bat. When a guy gives you compliments out of nowhere (as in, you're not wearing an Oscar ballgown), then it should be clear as crystal that he likes you. Guys are some of the most honest, damn near to a fault, creatures on the planet. Unless he's handing compliments out like candy on Halloween, then he's just a player.

He looks you in the eye when speaking to you

Believe it or not, the act of looking someone in the eye is an act of respect and that says volumes about how he feels about you.

It comes as no surprise that respect is a hard thing to get from men in general, as they're the ones who have been handed a lot of privilege. However, when a guy can speak to you, like a person and not a piece of meat, get those matching letterman jackets ready, hun.

If a guy tries to make plans with you alone, he likes you

Even if it seems like absolutely nothing, it's just more of an excuse for him to be around you, which is the ultimate goal. You know he likes you when he's calling to make a study date or ask you to tutor him even though it's been proven that he's doing well in the class. It's a sure sign he's into you.

He stands close to you…like all the time

Body language is everything when determining whether or not a guy likes you. If you stink of week old worn panties, then you probably should stay away from anyone who's even remotely feeling your vibe before you destroy it all on your own. But when a guy likes you, he might just stand next to you in a way that seems unnecessarily close. It'll look weird in the moment, but once he makes his feeling known all the chips will fall into place.
