- [Narrator] Hey, Psych2Goers,
welcome back to another video.
Has a guy ever confessed that he's had a crush on you
while you never even had a clue?
Do you have a close guy friend
that everyone says has feelings for you,
even though you think he just sees you as a friend?
Is there someone special you like
but you just can't seem to figure out
how he feels about you?
If you answered yes to any of these questions,
well, you're certainly not alone
because when it comes to understanding guys
and their feelings,
a lot of the time, they can be hard to read.
So if you really want to know how a guy feels about you,
here are eight signs
that can help you figure out when a guy likes you.
Number one, he sends you a lot of nonverbal signs,
whether it's his body language or his tone of voice.
Pay close attention to how a guy acts when he's around.
Most people often knowingly
send a lot of nonverbal signs and signals
that communicate their true feelings towards you.
Does he lean in closer when you talk to him?
Is he always trying to sit or walk beside you?
Does he often mirror your actions and gestures?
Psychology says
these are all common signs of romantic attraction
along with mutual eye contact,
playful touching, or self-conscious behaviors
like grooming or fidgeting.
Number two, he spends a lot of time with you.
If a guy secretly has a crush on you,
then he'll constantly be looking for ways to see you
and spend more time with you.
They'll often come up to talk to you,
text you a lot, and invite you to hang out
or do things with them.
But some guys might be too shy
to initiate conversations with you,
especially if you don't know each other that well yet,
and might just try to run into you
or bump into you some more
and hope that it leads to something more.
Number three, he never talks about other girls around you.
Do you think a guy in your life
might have some feelings for you?
Well, here's one good way to know.
Think back to the last few conversations
you've had with him.
Has he talked talked about
or mentioned other girls around you?
If the answer is no,
then that's probably because he likes you.
He's careful not to talk about other girls around you
unless someone else brings it up
because he doesn't want you thinking
that he's interested in anyone else.
Number four, he asks you a lot of questions.
When a guy likes you,
he might pay special attention to you and only you.
He asks you a lot of personal questions,
wants to get to know you better,
and listens to you attentively when you're talking to him.
They might even ask you about your relationship status
or what kind of guys you like.
At the very least,
it means he enjoys talking to you
and thinks you're fun and interesting.
Number five, he subtly tries to impress you.
As cliche and outdated as it may seem,
some guys will try to win over the girl they like
by finding ways to impress her,
whether it's with his talent, intelligence,
strength, or good looks.
Why?
Because according to evolutionary psychology theories,
we often want to appear our best, most desirable selves
in order to entice possible romantic partners
into pursuing a relationship with us.
So next time you're with a guy,
try to see if they're making an effort
to look nicer for you, or seem cooler,
friendlier, smarter, or funnier.
Speaking of which, that brings us to our next point,
number six, he's often protective of you.
You may notice him acting more protective towards you
than his other friends.
Say, for example, always walking you home at night
or staying by your side in a crowded space.
It likely means he sees you as someone he values
and wants to protect.
Number seven, he's always smiling around you.
While you might dismiss a guy's smile
as a sign that he's simply in a good mood,
psychology says it's worth taking a second to notice,
especially if he seems
like he's always cheerful around you in particular.
Does he smile at you in a greeting every time without fail
or laugh a lot when you're around?
Does he seem to perk up the moment he sees you
or have a positive change in mood when talking to you?
Pay close attention to how he acts around you
and compare it with how he acts around other people.
If you notice he seems happier
and is always smiling around you,
then that could be a sign that he likes you.
And number eight, he's always trying to make you smile too.
Finally, when a guy likes you,
not only will he be laughing and smiling around you,
he'll always try to make you smile too.
Most guys try to crack a few jokes,
goof off, or tease the girl they like to make her laugh,
while others might shower her with compliments
or thoughtful little gifts.
Either way, when a guy seems to constantly be doing things
to get your attention and put you in a good mood,
then that might be a sign that you've already won his heart.
