Blogpost #1: He likes me...he likes me not

Being liked by that "one" person you adore gives you a feeling of euphoria and a certain degree of excitement that is beyond compare. You feel like you're floating on cloud 9! But before you get to that point, you first experience a lot of uncertainties about how he really feels about you. You sometimes doubt your interpretation to the signs that he is giving you and you begin to wonder if he's really into you or if he's just being friendly. Such a great dilemma to us, girls! Now, how can you tell if a guy likes or a girl or not? There are actually signs. We just have to pay extra attention to his body language and what he is saying.

In the article “5 Signs He's Into You” written by Thea Miranda in Candy Magazine, the three sure signs, as far as I’m concerned, are these: He looks at you – a lot, He seeks for your friends’ approval, and if He admits that he likes you.

The first obvious sign is if He looks at you – a lot. Have you ever caught your crush looking at you, then, he suddenly looks away after you notice him? If you catch him once, that might just be a coincidence; but if you catch him staring at you a lot of times already, chances are he likes you too. If a guy likes you, he observes even the little things you do and tries to find out what your interests are. That way, it's easier for him to bring up a topic when he finally decides to approach you.

The second sign is if He seeks for you friends’ approval. A guy who wants to be a part of your life usually befriends your close friends first before he gets near you. He asks them about your likes and dislikes and sometimes even about your past ("your exes"), your crushes, your love life etc. Once he earns their trust and starts being one of them, he begins to seek advice from them regarding his feelings towards you and asks for help to be able to get a "yes" answer from you once he finally asks you for a date.

The third and last obvious sign is if He admits that he likes you. I’m not sure if this is a sign but I know that it takes a lot of courage for a guy to be able to open up about his true feelings towards the girl he likes. He fears rejection, yes...but he certainly doesn't want you to just be his friend and so he tells you what he really feels and starts asking you out on a date.

In another article entitled “24 Signs A Guy Likes You: Decoding His Body Language” written by Adrienne Mansfield in Man Decoder, only 2 signs are convincing: When He’s always around and when he acts annoyed or jealous when you talk to other guys.

When you think if a guy is always walking near you, sitting next or close to where you sit, just shows up wherever you are, or even talks to you a lot, there’s a big possibility that he likes you. He goes out of his way just to be able to talk to you and he does that on a regular basis. He starts showing interest about your family, your work, school, hobbies, places where you usually hang out, who you hang out with and last but not the least, your “love life”.

For me, it is cute when a guy acts annoyed or jealous when you talk to other guys. It just shows that he is just afraid that you might be also interested to another guy.

These are just few of the many signs that can tell if a guy really likes you. If he tries his best to make you laugh and puts his best foot forward whenever you're around or he goes out of his way to be able to help you on something, that sends a signal that he wants you two to be more than friends.

If there are signs if a guy likes you, there are also signs that can tell if he doesn't like you. It's hard when the one you like doesn't feel the same way towards you, and even harder when you keep believing that one day, this person would eventually realize that he likes you too. If you think that it's just a one-sided thing; that he's only after your friendship, then, I guess, it's time to move on and put your attention on other things like your career or studies. You just have to accept he fact that he's not the one for you.

In the article “7 Signs A Guy Doesn't Like You (Dating Tips for Women)” written by Linda in Beauty and Tips Magazine, the first three signs are the biggest hints that would let you know if a guy is not into you.

The first sign is if He doesn’t invite you out. If you have known this guy for a long time and he never asked you to go out on a date with him, it only means one thing- he doesn't like you! The second sign is if He says that he isn’t ready. If a guy tells you that he isn't ready to get into a serious relationship yet or if he thinks that it's just a waste of time to be in a relationship, that he can't focus on his career while dating someone, it's best to keep your distance. He's giving you the signal that you're not his type of girl. The last sign is if He never calls you (or even texts you). You give him your number and you expect him to call or text you, but he never does. Don't you think it's about time you delete his number and start doing more productive things instead of waiting for a call or text that will never come?

If you notice these signs from the guy of your dreams, it's much better to just let go of your feelings. It may be hard at first. You may even find yourself crying in the middle of the night thinking about what might have been, but sooner or later, you'll learn to accept the fact that he isn't the one for you. Try to find love from your family and friends. Spend more time with them and keep yourself busy with work and other stuff. Move on! I'm sure you'll find the right guy when the right time comes... and you'll both live happily ever after. :)
