Understanding Boy-Kind

Hey everyone!

If many of you are like me, you might often struggle to know if a boy likes you or not. Does he see you as just a friend/school mate? Or does he see you as something more? I know many people who have struggled to tell if a boy likes them or not. So if you think you're alone in this, let me assure you, you're not.

Boys are funny human beings, especially when it comes to love and relationships. If it's just you and him then he may act like he likes you more than a friend. But if he's with his mates he'll try and make it seem like you're just friends. Yes it's annoying, but the majority of boys are like this. I seriously doubt that you'll go through life without meeting at least 10 boys that are like this.

So, here is my list of the top three signs that he likes you:

1. He starts the conversation
I'm not necessarily saying here that any guy who starts conversation with you likes you but if there's one guy who you're particularly close to who you like and he, the majority of the time, starts conversation with you then this could mean he likes you back. This could especially be true if he sees you around school or in town somewhere and he shouts something across to you. This can also mean that he only sees you as a friend because friends also do this. But if there are feelings there as well then this can mean he likes you.

2. Texts you all the time
If you don't have each other's number then this doesn't mean that he doesn't like you, it's just because you don't have each other's number so it's kind of impossible to text. However, if you do have each other's number and you text each other everyday (or most days) then this is another sign that he likes you. If he's in your top three of people who you last texted, or even if he's texting you now as you read this, then it's one of many signs that he likes you. If you don't have his number but do have him on some kind of social media but he doesn't message you on that, it doesn't mean he doesn't like you. He might no longer use it. But if you want to start messaging him or want to ask for his number then go for it. There's nothing stopping you.

3. Talks to his mates about you/tells them he likes you
The last part of this is pretty obvious that he likes you if he's told his mates he likes you. You might not know that he's told them this but 98% of the time if he's told his mates that he likes you then they will start making comments about it whenever you walk past them. And if he's with them he'll more than likely look a little embarrassed or try to hide it by shouting at them to shut up. If he does look embarrassed then it's nothing to do with the fact that he likes you because otherwise he wouldn't have told his mates. It's just that he's embarrassed because they're essentially teasing him about it because boys will see it as him being all loved up. And even if he hasn't told his mates that he likes you but talks a lot about you to them then you can be 99.999% sure that he likes you.

I'm no relationship expert and these three things are only top because they've happened to me, especially the first and last ones. But just because they're the top signs to me that a boy likes me, and have often come out as true, doesn't mean that they'll be the top things for you. Boys often have different approaches when it comes to girls so the guy you like might have other things he does that are signs that he likes you.

Also if you do like a boy and you have suspicions that he likes you then there's absolutely no reason why you can't ask him if he wants to hang out some time after school or at the weekend (basically just anytime). The worst he can say is no. I've learnt the hard way that if you don't speak up about things then they're never going to happen.

If you have any other advice you could give to someone then please leave it in the comments below and if you want to talk to me about anything then please feel free to email me or dm me on Twitter (all of my details are in the contacts tab above).

Thank you for reading and I hope that this post has given you a small insight into knowing whether a boy likes you or not.
