When we meet someone, we begin the mind-numbing game of trying to decipher every little word and move they make, every approach they take in all the games people play, trying to figure out if they like us or not.
What I can't figure out is why we do this to ourselves. I'm no exception. As a relationship writer I've spent hours doing relationship self analysis. And I've concluded that fretting about a man's emotions is just too much hard work. It needn't be though.
Provided you're not receiving totally mixed signals from him, you should just follow your instincts in determining whether or not he's smitten with you. You can go analyze this to death of you want, but what it comes down to is what you feel deep down. Chances are your intuition about his feelings is probably spot on.
However, for those of you who still want to read into things, here is a quick "he loves me, he loves me not" cheat sheet. And hey, if all else fails and you still find yourself confused, just ask him.
He talks to his friends about you
If you meet his buddies for the first time and it's clear that your existence isn't news to them, that's a good sign. Men don't tend to chat up their pals about women they aren't pretty interested in.
He calls you just to talk
I would say something about calling the day or two after you first go out but sadly, even the most intrigued and smitten of men can still fall prey to that old notion of having to wait several days to call a woman.
Just because he doesn't call right away does not mean he isn't interested. However, if the next time you hear from him it's 11:30PM on a Friday night, this guy is clearly all about the ass over class. If you're cool with that, then go to it. But don't expect a guy who follows up a date with a booty call to want to meet your parents anytime soon. Barring that situation, if he calls in the next week to set up the next date, he's interested, at least for now.
He's really listening
When men are interested in someone, they really do want to be just a little bit romantic. And they know that the best way to accomplish that is by knowing things about her. All of which means he's really listening to you when you talk about your likes and dislikes. After all, he needs the facts before he can plan his romantic assault. - 32510
