10 Ways To Tell If A Guy Is Into You

With school back in session, many of my friends have designated me the barometer to determine if a guy is truly into them or not. While I'm not claiming to be a guru of any sort, I feel that my vast experience within the field has allowed me to gather some knowledge as to how the male mind works, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. In my infinite generosity, I have created a definitive list of ten sure-fire ways to tell if a guy is into you.


If he matches his belt to his shoes.

Guys care about their appearance more than you might think, and if they're interested in you, they'll most likely always appear in their “hottest” clothing. This is actually a biological need, and recent studies have shown that in order for male chimps to court a female chimp, they will use mud as a primitive hair gel to create something known in the scientific community as a “sex mullet.”

If he takes every opportunity to smell you.

When a guy is aroused, all his senses are in a heightened state. You may be aware that when looking at something pleasurable, a person's pupils dilate. Well, the same thing applies to his olfactory glands in his nose. They will typically double in size when around something “pleasurable” and thus, I have noticed many guys intensely smelling the air where a girl once stood after she leaves.

If he repeats your name three times when he addresses you.

This is more subtle than any of the others on the list, but now that I’ve said it you’re bound to notice just how prevalent it is. Inspired by the popular movie "Beetlejuice," a guy will attempt to show his true feelings by acting as if each time he sees you, he has in fact summoned you in a display of dominance. It may be in conversation, or in a ceremony of sorts, but it is always an indicator of true emotion.

If you both sometimes “accidentally” wear the same clothing.

When flirting, guys will try to mimic the behavior of their target. What better way to do this than wearing your exact outfit?! After you notice, he will often exclaim, “Twinsies!” in an effort to show his playful nature and his obviously good sense of fashion.

If he gravely insists you watch "National Treasure" with him.

Nic Cage is possibly the sexiest creature to have ever walked this Earth, and all his movies are notable for their extremely passionate and lustful nature. This is basically a more forward version of “Netflix and chill," that I like to call “Treasure and chill.”

If he advocates for Donald Trump.

His inclination to possibly vote for Trump shows his “rebellious” nature. These clearly conflicted feelings can be paralleled to Donald Trump's dual nature, as he is neither a true politician or complete businessman. This guy is figuratively putting a wall around his heart, just as Trump wants to do with Mexico--the heart of the Americas. #thinkaboutit

If he has an extensive collection of "Animorph" paperbacks.

Possessing "Animorphs" not only shows that he's incredibly cool, but they can be seen as a metaphor for his transitional nature from that of a friend (human) to a possible lover (animal).

If he scratches at the door when you are in the other room.

This can be seen across the spectrum in animals, especially those that are domesticated, like cats or dogs. When you leave, he misses you and wants to be with you--which he shows with his frantic scratching on the other side of your door. However, this signal can be indicative of other things such as the need to go outside and play, or simply, that he's hungry.

If he pretends to be your blanket at night.

This is by far the hardest to pick up on, but next time you get home at night, check your bed. Lots of guys will attempt to imitate your blanket, and strangely, this often goes unnoticed! Guys do this to try to show their warm and protective nature. If any guy does this for you, consider yourself lucky. You've got a keeper!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
