Top 5 signs that a guy is into you

Girls, I know this one sounds like the mother of all cliches. In fact, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to answer this one particular question that has baffled women for generations – how can you tell that a guy likes you? Of course, a guy would tell you that he likes you. But what if this particular guy happens to be a classic “torpe”? How can you tell that the guy five floors under you, who quakes on his knees every time you bump with him in the elevator, is not having a diarrhea but simply exuding signs of being smitten by you? Same answer. Torpe or not, he would tell you. It’s pretty much a matter of time.

Of course, if that brave declaration is not supported with concrete actions, you have all the reasons to push him off the elevator. Just like what they say in the churches every Sunday: “Faith without works is dead.” A guy who does nothing to prove his intense liking for you is just out to flatter you. In other words, bolero.

I have just gathered the top 5 answers of both men and women online to give you a fairly accurate way of reading a guy’s mind. You might be interested to find that there are many tell-tale signs you may want to pay closer attention to next time you see the elevator guy. Sure he likes you. But mere liking is not just enough. Keep that in mind.

1. He spends time with you. (25%)

He likes to be around you all the time like a fly. If he is not physically present, like an OFW you met online, he spends dollars on telephone bills to make those long distance calls. He chats with you no matter what his timezone is. He simply cares.

2. He would tell you that he likes you. (24%)
Women were actually screaming this exact phrase in unison: “Do not assume (that a guy likes you).” In Bayani Fernando‘s language, “Bawal tumawid. May namatay na dito.”. A guy who treats you well is different from a guy who is totally nuts about you. If he does not say anything about his intentions, forget it. Those flowers he sent you meant nothing. In fact, it could be a move to spite the girl he likes who happens to be your best friend. Who knows?

3. He goes the extra mile to show that he cares. (22%)

To really have this count in your list, there should be some level of consistency on the guy’s part no matter how menial the task is. Does he walk you home most of the time? Does he drive you home from Makati all the way to Tanay? Does he make an effort to see you every once in awhile come hell or high water? Babysits your dog?

4. Sweet and thoughtful. (18%)

There are subtle ways that men do to show they care for someone. From lavish to simple gifts, everyday calls and text messages checking if you’ve taken your lunch and your anti-rabies shot, to his amazing display of patience every time he hears you vent tirelessly over a mascara meltdown.

5. He tries to get your attention. (11%)

I think this part is reserved for guys who have the balls to introduce himself to the girl he likes and asks her out without batting an eyelid. Not really for the faint in heart. But if he does it, chances are he really is into you and is out there to prove his worth. Just see how far he’d go.
