I’m 44 years of age now. My opinion would be attention. Guys show it in different ways but there’s always some sort of interaction directly or inadvertantly.
I had a girl do that to me once SilentlyLogical lol, actually that was last winter.. hmm
If a guy is liking you, it should be fairly obvious, flirting, wants to spend time with you, i mean common, it’s a guy here we aren’t that complicated when it comes to beginning to like a girl.
If he contacts you first (via text, phone call, etc.) instead of you him. If he talks about you to his buddies (in a good way). If he wants to hang out with you. If he touches you (like hand holding, bear hugs). And, duh, if he says he likes you..
when he teases you (in a cute way) constantly for no reason :D or if he can’t keep eye contact for more than 10 seconds without doing something embarrasing, he likes you all the way to the end
he finds ways to visit you, but it feels like it’s a coincidence to you. it’s just his way of going “out” his way. you won’t realize he likes you, but the people around you will. if they ever say, “he really likes you,” you’ll say “wow, how can you tell?” when they say “because the way he looks at you,” there’s your answer.
adding the clairedete: Of course it could be in very different ways. Being asked to a picnic watching the sun set alone and being asked to stay the night at a h/motel alone are probably pretty different degrees of like.
ha, @ Allie. I was going to specify which type of alone-hanging-out I meant but I figured y’all would understand I meant a sweet kind of situation & not a sexual one but thanks.
