We've all been in those situations where we don't know if the person we are attracted to is as serious about the relationship as we are. Sometimes its hard to know whether your spring fling is going to turn into a long term relationship or if its just a temporary thing. Here are some telltale signs that he genuinely likes you.
1. He talks about his feelings with you.
He doesn’t just talk about how much he loves you, he talks about how he felt when his best friend moved or when his grandpa died. He tells you what bothers him or what he likes.
2. You can communicate without speaking.
You both understand each other’s body language. Whether it’s just the two of you watching a movie at home or you’re in a crowded room at a party, you understand each other’s feelings just by squeezing one another’s hands or raising your eyebrows.
3. You’ve met his family… Or he’s at least talked to his family about you.
Whether you’ve been invited over for dinner, or he always tells you about his aunt who is dying to meet you, that probably means he really likes you. If he’s sung your praises to the most influential people in his life, you have a special place in his heart.
4. He notices little things about you.
He asks about the necklace you wear every single day, or he notices that really light up when a certain song comes on. He likes the smell of your shampoo and he knows you love chocolate marshmallow ice cream. He’s not just going through the motions, he’s taking everything in.
5. He talks about your future together.
He doesn’t have to be naming your children, but he suggests that you go on a road trip together next summer or tells you about his uncle’s awesome 4th of July parties that he’s going to bring you to, and meanwhile its only November.
6. You don’t care how he sees you.
You don’t care if he randomly shows up at your house and sees you in sweat pants and a messy bun. You are just as comfortable when you’re all dressed up for date night as you are when you’re wearing your 8th grade field day t-shirt and leggings on your movie-night-in.
7. He’s friendly towards your friends and family.
He wants to get to know the people who mean the most to you and he wants them to like him. And trust me, your friends and family will know whether or not he’s right for you before you do.
8. He likes to go out and do adventurous things with you.
If he just wants to lay around his house or your house all the time, dump him. If he likes you, he’ll want to show you a really cool hiking spot he found, or take you to a cute ice cream parlor you've never hear of. Spending money on you doesn’t matter. Effort matters.
9. He compliments you on things other than your body.
He laughs at your jokes. He loves the way you play with children, or the way you talk to his parents. He likes your taste in music and fashion. And he points out how caring you are.
10. He has seen all different sides of you and he still loves you.
He’s seen you at parties, he’s seen you when you’re mad at your mom, he’s seen you stressing out, he’s seen you burn dinner, he’s seen you crying because of those damn dog videos. And after all that, he still loves you. And he makes you feel like the best version of yourself.
11. He puts up with your oddities.
He doesn’t complain about retaking a picture four times because it wasn’t “instaworthy” the first three times. He’ll go to the WWII exhibit that he knows nothing about just because you’ve been dying to go to. He’ll watch every Zac Efron movie with you. Over. And over. And over. (Maybe that's not an oddity, its just a girl thing.)
12. You want to be with him all the time and he wants to be with you all the time.
Whether you’re grocery shopping together or you’re at a five star restaurant, you just love each other’s company.
