How To Know If A Boy Likes You

He might just be shy

He looks at you when you are not looking.

One of the key characteristics of a shy guy is he does not want to get caught looking at you, confrontation is not everyone's forte . Instead, he resorts to admiring you from afar. Engaging with someone you like is terrifying and a shy guy is often afraid of being rejected or judged. He rarely opens up. That being said, it's very hard to tell when a shy guy likes you. However, once in a while, you may pick up on signs like subtle eye contact indicating his interest.

He tries to talk to you, but looks like he could throw up.

A shy guy will usually stay within his group of friends. So, when he approaches you, chances are he likes you. He might not have anything to say or appears very awkward, but this is the bravest thing he's done in a while. Throwing caution to the wind and talking to the girl he likes is worth it to him.

He treats you differently.

As mentioned before, a shy guy will rarely approach you unless he's interested in you. When a shy guy likes you, he will go out of his way to get your attention or do favors for you. He will treat you differently than any of the girls around you, whether it's grabbing you an extra cup of coffee or bragging about you to his friends.

Since opening up is hard for shy guys, when he does trust you that bond is special to him. Talking to other guys may make him feel insecure. He may get annoyed and start distancing himself, fearing that he will lose you or get hurt.

He shows interest in the things you do.

A shy guy rarely steps outside his comfort zone particularly with doing new things. If you mentioned about something that you like, and he starts getting involved in them, chances are he likes you. If you sense that this is the case, and he's someone you like too, be sure to encourage him to do those things more.

He tries to talk to you over the internet.

A shy guy feels a lot more comfortable communicating over the web, because then he feels like he won't be judged for how he looks, how he talks, how he expresses his body language etc. If you notice a shy guy engaging you over the internet often, chances are he's interested in you. If you're interested in him and want to move the relationship forward try calling him or meeting up.

His friends tease him when you're around.

Guys who are shy will often keep their feelings about someone they like to themselves But close friends can usually tell what's happening. If you start to notice his friends acting a bit strange when you're around with him, chances are they know that something is up. If you like him too, consider confronting his friends about it.

He seems interested in you, but never really makes a move.

Shy guys are often too afraid of rejection to put themselves out there and make a move on a girl. So they'll talk to you and show all the signs that they are interested in you but somehow wait for you to make the move for them. If he seems hesitant to make that last leap, maybe ask him out.

He remembers little things about you.

He'll remember the name of your pet hamster when you were 5 or your favorite toppings on a pizza. A shy guy will remember little details about you and your life. And he'll try to downplay it when you say "wow, you remembered!". He doesn't want to make it obvious that he likes you but will be proud that you appreciate it.

He Tries to Act More Social Than He Is.

He would talk to all the customers, try to tell jokes, and be everyone's friend – all to show you that he's not THAT shy.

Often guys who have shy personalities will come off as confident and personable at first. However, once he gets comfortable he might start second guessing himself and distance himself from you. Shy guys are full of mixed signals and confusion.

 His body language.

Pay attention to the way expresses himself in his body language. If he's fidgeting with his hands, can't stay still, or won't make eye contact when he's talking to you, chances are he likes you. A very quiet guy liked me once and whenever I talked to him he would look ANYWHERE but my eyes, and he used to trip and fumble all over words. If you see something like this, that guy definitely likes you.

He tries to talk to your friends and befriend them.
