How to Know If a Shy Guy Likes You

Don’t ask him directly if he likes you. Shy guys will freak out when confronted. Not only will he refuse, but he’ll probably avoid you later out of embarrassment. You should always be tactful when interacting with a shy guy.

Don’t ask his friends if he likes you. Confidentiality is always a priority for shy guys. Even if he likes you, chances are high that he won’t tell anyone and won’t intend to.

• There’s always a downside to asking his friends: You’ll probably get the wrong information. Because he’s shy and often doesn’t show his affection, you might get the idea that he’s not interested in you, even though the opposite is true.
• Another downside of asking through friends is that you are seemingly “kicking the ball into the opponent’s field”. When he knows – or guesses – that you like him, he’ll think you’re looking forward to being asked out, and he’ll feel pressured. This is probably going to be annoying for you, because you’ll have a lot of work to do to help relieve his stress.

Compare his behavior with you and with others. The behavior of shy guys can be very strange and seemingly irrational. Instead of just analyzing how he behaves around you, compare it to when he’s around other people. Remember that guys will be comfortable with friends, but when talking to you in private, he will think before he speaks, appear cuter, and often find a way to make you laugh. Look for his more distinctive behaviors around you – positive or negative. Is he sweeter? Quieter? Worried more? More restless? If he treats you differently from other people, then he definitely has a strong impression of you in some way.

• Does he rarely talk when he’s around you? He’s having a hard time talking, probably because he’s nervous: He’s in love with you and is so afraid to say something weird or stupid that he tells himself that it’s better not to say anything when you’re around.

Read his body language . Instead of looking for normal flirtatious behavior (like approaching you, touching you, and flamboyant gestures like “look at me”), watch for signs that he doesn’t seem confident. in your presence. If he looks down at the ground, crosses his arms over his chest, looks away, or acts more awkwardly than usual in your presence, he’s probably trying to hide his feelings for you.

• Does he keep rubbing his hands together, fiddling with his clothes, or stroking his hair while talking to you? These signs indicate that he is nervous. The conversation with you confuses him so much that he can’t stay still.
• Does he sweat when he’s around you? This is another sign of nervousness. Sweating is a natural reflex of the body; If only he could control it, he would have done it. But because he couldn’t control it, sweat drops on his forehead and under his arms.
• Does he blush or swallow when he’s around you? It can be hard to tell when someone is blushing, but some guys have a clear expression: His face lights up and he looks like he’s just run miles. Swallowing is also a sign that he knows he has to say something but can’t find the right words or can’t find the words to say.
• He’s always by your side, but never really gets close to you? Maybe he’s happy to be with you, but doesn’t want to show it by getting really close to you. If he’s always around but never close enough, then he’s probably just too attracted to you.

Try to catch his eyes looking at you. Shy guys control their emotions more than other guys, often keep their love affairs private, sometimes even avoiding the “dreamer”, in return they often sneak glances. Use the big picture to see if he looks at you when he thinks you don’t know. If he glances at you more than once, he definitely likes you. Be careful, though: if you look back and he immediately looks away, he’s very shy. Smile at him if you want to give him a glimmer of hope.

• At the same time, notice if he always avoids looking at you? Even shy guys sometimes look at girls. If he constantly avoids looking at you, he probably doesn’t want you to know his secret. Notice if he looks at other girls to see if he usually does or just with you.

Notice how he talks to you. Everyone is a little nervous when talking to the person they have a crush on. But especially shy guys, the feeling is even worse. Usually they will only respond to you with short, simple, even curt sentences, or speak very quickly and stammer because they are completely overwhelmed. This time, too, notice if he’s more awkward with you than he is with other people.

• Does he usually answer you with “yes” or “no” and say nothing more? It’s not that he doesn’t like to talk, it’s that he’s too interested in the conversation and doesn’t want to say anything that might reveal his feelings.
• Is he usually more confident around his friends? He will find some emotional support from his friends. He’s still afraid of messing things up in front of you, but he’ll be more willing to talk.

Notice if he gets to know your friends? This doesn’t necessarily mean that he likes your friends, but that he is just using an excuse to approach you and want to hear what people who know you well have to say about you. Especially if he gets to know all of your friends except you, he’s probably infatuated with you.

• In this situation, you need to make sure he’s not flirting with your friends. If he does, he’s probably really into one of the girls, not you. However, it’s also possible that he’s flirting to show you that he can impress other girls.
