How to Tell If He's Interested in You

Dating these days isn't easy - especially for women. Sometimes even after several dates, a man's behavior can leave you wondering "does this guy like me at all???" Well, stop waiting around! Follow these simple guidelines to tell if he's interested in you, and if he's not - move on!

Things You'll Need

• The ability to observe a man's behavior as objectively as possible

Instructions

1. 

   First of all, we women let men off the hook way too easily. We tell ourselves that he hasn't called in 3 days because he's really busy at work, or because he forgot how to use his phone. Well, it's all BS, ladies. If the man you're interested in is interested in you HE WILL CALL. Period. No if's and's or but's about it.

2. So, what if he's calling regularly, but not making the effort to get together with you? Is he making excuses? Well, if you feel like you're the one making all the effort, you must do this: Back off. I know this is incredibly hard when you really like someone, but it's the only way you will be able to tell! If you back off and he picks up his efforts, you know he's interested. If you back off and he disappears, well...then you've learned something there too. If a man wants to spend time with you, he will make time - period.

3. 

   Another thing you can look to to see if he's interested in is what kind of dates you're going on with him. Is he suggesting you come to his house to watch movies? Is he asking you to meet him at TGI Friday's for drinks? Those things take little to no effort on his part. They're not the kind of dates that show that he's really interested. If, on the other hand, he's asking you out to dinner and shows that he's put thought into the restaurant selection, THAT'S a date. Don't talk yourself into accepting thoughtless suggestions from him. If he's interested, he'll put time and energy into planning something for the two of you to do.

4. Men like to work for what they want. If you're always calling him first or asking him to do things, there's no work in it for him. If you're making all the effort and he's just going along with it, that doesn't mean he's that into you - it means it's convenient for him and he's lazy. That's not the kind of man you want! Hold on to some of your mystery, and make him earn your affection. That means not always being available when he asks you to do something, not waiting around for him to ask you to do something! Men want a woman who has a life of her own and is independent. Show him you're that woman and make him earn a place in your life. He'll respect you so much more for it!
