Texting is our main mode of communication these days so it makes sense that's where you would look when trying to figure out how a guy feels about you.
It's incredibly frustrating to just sit around and wonder how he feels about you. You can see there just might be something between you but you are just unsure where he stands.
While texting is popular, it is not always clear what is being communicated. You have a disadvantage with texting because you can't read his body language or hear the tone of his voice. You can't pick up on subtle nuances like you can in person.
But, there are clear signs that he likes you that you can discover through text messages. So let's dig in and take a closer look at the signs a guy likes you through texting.
He doesn't want to text, he wants to see you! He drops hints that he would prefer to be with you instead of simply communicating over text, and what he'd be doing if he was there right now. You mention that you're craving Mexican food and he tells you if he was there, he would whip up his famous guacamole.
Some guys aren't into using emojis, so don't stress if your potential guy sticks to words only. Some guys may send them to be cute, but not all guys are into this sort of thing so don't let yourself read too deeply into it. If he is liberal with his usage of flirty emojis — think anything involving a heart or a winky face– he's most likely trying to flirt and be cute.
Do you guys basically go back and forth via text all day? It might not be every minute of the day because that's not sustainable, but basically, you're in one long conversation that starts and stops all day. If so, that's a very good sign.
Most guys don't like to text for no reason. If they're texting, it's for a purpose, usually to make a plan or find out information. If he's texting all day aimlessly, then the goal is to further a connection with you because he likes you.
He may not have anything in particular to say, but he wants to just let you know that he's around and see how you are at that moment. That's a good sign!
Try to see who starts your texting conversation. Does he reach out first or do you normally start the conversation? Does he try to engage you in conversation or does he simply reply to your initiation? If he initiates and replies quickly, then it's a strong sign he's interested and he likes you.
It's an awful feeling when you text someone and you are hoping for a quick reply but that person takes hours or even days to get back to you. People are busy. Things come up where you can't have your phone out but it only takes a few seconds to send a quick reply. Does he leave you hanging or does he text you back quickly? If he takes days to write back, he's either avoiding you or something is really wrong. But, if he texts back regularly, it's because he wants to talk to you, most likely because he's interested in you.
To get that special text right when you wake up is an awesome feeling. It means he's thinking about you right when he wakes up and you make him smile. You are the first thing on his mind and he's excited to say hello before he starts his day.
What does he text you? Is he just talking about sports, the weather, his friends, or is he asking questions about your life? If he asks about your family, friends, and what you enjoy doing with your time, he likely is interested in you. He might even send you follow-up questions later about something you mentioned in a previous text. He is paying attention to who you are and remembering details.
Does he make you laugh in person? Hopefully, he is trying to do the same even when you are not together through texts. He wants to make you laugh and make you smile even when he can't be next to you. Maybe he sends you an inside joke in the form of a funny gif or meme. He could send you a quote from a movie that you both really like or have watched together or a hilarious article. Or maybe just a funny meme or picture. The point is, he reaches out with funny things in order to make you smile.
It is so nice to have someone who just gets you. You feel so special when that sibling or a friend who knows you really well send you just one line over text and gets you to belly laugh. When the guy you are interested in starts doing the same, he likely has a thing for you. He might send messages using bitmojis or emojis that are only funny to the two of you. His inside jokes might reference a time you were hanging out or a special nickname for you.
Nicknames are a major flirting tool. It's his way of being cute and connecting with you, or creating something intimate that only you share. If he gives you a nickname and uses it often, he's trying to create that close connection with you.
What's better than getting a text from a guy you like just as you're getting into bed and calling it a night?
If a guy texts you before bed it means he's thinking about you … and wants you to be thinking about him.
This is a really good sign that he likes you, a goodnight text is just more intimate than another kind of text. It's not something you send to just anyone.
Does your phone ding randomly and you see that it is this guy you like? Does it seem he finds random things to tell you or ask you questions out of the blue? If so, he is likely looking for a reason to reach out to you when really he has no real reason other than just wanting to talk to you.
When a guy likes you, it becomes obvious when he starts mentioning specific things he notices about you. Does he mention that he likes your perfume scent or your hair? Does he text you to say you looked nice the last time he saw you? Does he remember the color of your eyes?
Guys know a way to a woman's heart is through compliments, at least one way! And when a guy likes you, he'll like a lot of things about you and won't be able to stop himself from sharing those things.
It feels awful to have someone that you like makes plans with you and then bail out last minute. If he likes you, he will confirm his plans by texting you something like, "We are on for seven tomorrow night, right?" Some guys can be vague and just want to hang out without a clear plan but if he wants a relationship, he will likely nail down a specific date and time. He also won't cancel simply because something better comes up.
When it comes to you, he's reliable and he follows through. Now he may be like that in his everyday life, but it will be more apparent with you.
Does he texts you details about his day? Does he talk to you about things he has done, his best friends, and things he would like to do in the future?
If he lets you in, he likely wants to know you more and cares what you think. He's also not hiding things which is a great sign he wants you around.
This is a tricky one. If he is drinking, then he might be in a vulnerable state and want to text with you. Alcohol doesn't necessarily bring out the truth, it brings out our emotions, and lowers our inhibitions. If a guy suddenly can't hide his feelings whenever he has a few too many, then he most likely has feelings for you.
But, if he only texts you when he is drunk, that's a red flag. So look at this sign in the context of all the others.
At some point, clarity will come. If a guy gets signals back from you that you are interested, he will let you in on how he feels and come out and say he likes you.
He might take a little time to be this direct but eventually, he will say it outright in his own way. Hopefully, this will come in person first and then confirmed through a text message later.
Do you hear about something significant in this guy's life right away or days after it happens? If your guy includes you on the big and small stuff, be confident that he wants you around. He wants you to celebrate with him and lets you know via text right after he finds out something noteworthy.
Do you get butterflies when you get a text from him? Does your face light up when you hear your phone ding? Perhaps you just know that something special is already happening with this special guy. Like we always say, when a guy likes you it's obvious. Guys don't hide interest. It will come across via text, when you see him in person, and basically in everything.
Now if he doesn't pursue you, then it's possible he likes you but he just doesn't want to be in a relationship with you. If a guy likes you and wants you, he will make it known, as long as you're giving him at least some signals that his interest is reciprocated so he doesn't worry about being rejected if he makes a move.
Hi ! I need an answer about my situation. I date a guy in few months. He said to me "l miss you" ."l want you". "I build you a castle". He said the word "marriage" and repeated lot of word "Yes". Sometimes he repeats what l said. Does that mean he wanted to propose ?
But he didn't take me to his place where he lives. That makes me think he might be a married man. I don't want to date with a married man. I'm very cautious.
We met on Saturday and Sunday before Thanksgiving.
I texted him "Happy Thanksgiving". He texted me back "Hi Rose" few days later (Sunday evening). I texted him the next day Monday"Good morning " . Then he hasn't texted me back until now. Does he avoid me ?
Should l end this relationship (ls it wrong if l call it's relationship ?). Should l delete all text messages ?
I'm looking forward the answer.
Yep, he matches all 18 points!!! We've been seeing each other 5 months now, but haven't got to the point of meeting family. We're mid 40's and I'm very new to dating again…divorced after 20 years of marriage. We both have teenage children we've been around each other's children and our kids have met, both children voiced they like us. I'm still into waiting for the guy to do the initiating of dates, meeting parents…im still a little old fashioned..he seems to be that way too…his parents just celebrated 40 years of marriage. I told him I wasn't seeing anyone else and do not have plans to. He responded, "Yes maam" with a winking kiss emoji. I feel based on all his gestures, not backing off, being consistent…wete exclusive but I don't want to fall into assumptions and be crushed…but I don't like feeling I'm on the edge of a cliff either. And I don't want to be seen as pushy. How should I broach the are we or are we not exclusive subject?
