He\u2019d respond when you texted and gladly hook up with you, but it never materialized into a real relationship.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.loveonpurpose.com\/what-are-his-intentions-9-soulmate-signs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You may wonder if he really likes you or not<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the truth: \u00a0Generally, guys are not very subtle. There are obvious signs he likes you. If you are trying to interpret every little thing he says and does, let us help you end that right now. Here are the obvious signs he likes you.<\/p>\n<h3>7 Obvious Signs He Likes You<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3>He\u2019s Putting In The Effort<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>One of the most obvious signs he likes you is that he\u2019s putting in the effort to move the relationship forward. He regularly reaches out to you to schedule a date. He texts and calls to see how you are doing and is genuinely interested in what you like and don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n<p>He follows through on his word. If he says he\u2019s going to call, he calls. He doesn\u2019t cancel your dates at the last minute with a flimsy excuse. He gives you his full attention when you are together.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s even willing to go out of his way to see you. He doesn\u2019t complain about having to drive an hour to meet you in your part of town. He isn\u2019t asking if you\u2019ll meet him around the corner from his office or if you\u2019ll take a Lyft to meet him. He may even schedule and pay for the ride for you to see him if you don\u2019t live near where he\u2019d like to take you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.loveonpurpose.com\/too-much-emotional-baggage-for-a-relationship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The guy who sends you mixed signals,<\/a>\u00a0or who is distracted by his phone while you\u2019re spending time with him isn\u2019t serious about you. Don\u2019t put any effort into seeing this type of guy (even if he\u2019s hot hot hot) because once you stop making things convenient for them they will disappear.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, focus on finding the guy who\u2019s paying attention to what is important to you and makes sure that your time with him is meaningful and fun. If he is putting in the effort to see you and connect with you, he obviously likes you.<\/p>\n<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creatingloveonpurpose.com\/7stepstosoulmating\/\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"modal-first\"><\/div><\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!--<div id=\"popup1\" class=\"mdc-overlay\">\r\n\t<div class=\"mdc-popup\">\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<a class=\"mdc-close\" href=\"#\">&times;<\/a>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"mdc-content\">\r\n\t\t\t<h5 style=\"text-transform:uppercase;font-size:17px !important;font-weight:500;\">\r\n\t\t\t\tSign up for love notes weekly\r\n\t\t\t<\/h5>\r\n\t\t\t[gravityform id=\"4\" title=\"false\" description=\"false\"]\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>-->\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3>He Wants Exclusivity, But He\u2019s Not In A Rush<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A guy who likes you wants to claim you. He wants to take you off the market as soon as he can. An obvious sign he likes you is that he is willing to let you set the pace of the relationship. He is willing to wait for when you are ready instead of trying to rush you into a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>A relationship-ready man will go looking for his woman. When he finds her, he doesn\u2019t want to waste time. He\u2019ll want to get rid of the distraction of dating other women and focus solely on you. If he likes and respects you, he will not turn away simply because you want to take things slow. He will wait until you are ready to commit to him.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.creatingloveonpurpose.com\/40-red-flags-for-dating-over-40\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A guy who isn\u2019t willing to wait for you<\/a>\u00a0is not the right guy for you. Don\u2019t waste your time on impatient men. Look for the obvious sign that he likes you because he respects your timeline.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3>He Includes You In His Life<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Another obvious sign he likes you is introducing you to his friends and family. Relationships do not occur in a vacuum. So, a man who invites you to meet his friends and to family get-togethers is serious about you. He shares about his work and his interests in order for you to get to know him better.<\/p>\n<p>It may seem romantic or exciting to have a secret affair with a man who only wants you for himself, but the truth is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.loveonpurpose.com\/why-do-i-attract-married-men\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he is probably hiding something from you<\/a>. A guy who likes you will openly share about his life and make you a part of it.<\/p>\n<p>He is also interested in your life. He\u2019ll want to meet your friends and family. He\u2019s considering the larger community you are creating as a couple. He\u2019ll want to examine how your two lives fit together to see if you\u2019re a match for the long term.<\/p>\n<p>When a guy likes you, he won\u2019t keep you just for himself, he will show you off to his friends and family.<\/p>\n<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creatingloveonpurpose.com\/7stepstosoulmating\/\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"modal-second\"><\/div><\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!--<div id=\"popup1\" class=\"mdc-overlay\">\r\n\t<div class=\"mdc-popup\">\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<a class=\"mdc-close\" href=\"#\">&times;<\/a>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"mdc-content\">\r\n\t\t\t<h5 style=\"text-transform:uppercase;font-size:17px !important;font-weight:500;\">\r\n\t\t\t\tSign up for love notes weekly\r\n\t\t\t<\/h5>\r\n\t\t\t[gravityform id=\"4\" title=\"false\" description=\"false\"]\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>-->\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3>He Tries To Impress You<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A guy who likes you wants you to respect him and see him as an asset in your life. He wants to feel like he can be your hero and solve your problems. One obvious sign he likes you is he will go out of his way to impress you.<\/p>\n<p>He wants you to think that he is special in some way. Like many animals going through a mating dance, he will puff up his feathers and show off for you. He may try to impress you with his earning ability, his intelligence, his charm, or his expensive toys (like watches, boats, or a fancy car).<\/p>\n<p>Whether he is talking non-stop about how important his job is or making sure you see his sports car parked right in front of the restaurant, he wants to show you that he can deliver what you want. However, he may not think to find out how to specifically impress you.<\/p>\n<p>Do not discount a guy who is talking too much about himself or showing off his fancy toys. He wants you to see him as desirable.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourtango.com\/experts\/ornaandmatthew\/how-love-man-so-he-stays-you-forever\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Let him know how to impress you<\/a>\u00a0and see if he can make an adjustment. Because a man trying to impress you is an obvious sign he likes you and he may be a keeper.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h3>He Makes Plans In Advance<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Whether he wants to buy you tickets to a concert a few weeks away or he is interested in your plans for the holidays, a guy who likes you will plan future dates with you. It\u2019s an obvious sign he likes you if he\u2019s asking you out in advance to a special event or a vacation.<\/p>\n<p>Some guys like to keep things casual, texting last minute to get together and stay vague about the future. These guys may find you attractive and interesting, but\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.loveonpurpose.com\/attracted-to-emotionally-unavailable-men\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">they aren\u2019t ready to commit<\/a>\u00a0or truly pursue you for a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>You can easily discover the difference between these two types of men by meeting their effort and nothing more. Give any guy the opportunity to lead, and you will discover his intentions with you.<\/p>\n<p>If he pursues you, asking you out in advance, and plans a date for the future you can count on these signs that he likes you.<\/p>\n<p>One obvious sign he likes you is that he is planning a future with you in it.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>\n<h3>He Wants To Make You Happy<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Of all the signs that he likes you, this may be the easiest one to spot. When a man likes you and wants a relationship with you,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.loveonpurpose.com\/how-to-know-if-a-man-truly-loves-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he will want to make you happy<\/a>. He will look for ways to bring more joy into your life and alleviate your stress.<\/p>\n<p>If he is curious to know your favorite things this is a sign that he likes you. Whether it\u2019s your favorite hobbies, food, dessert, or vacation spots, they all point to his interest in what makes you happy.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t blow off his curious questions or answer with a vague, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d Batting your eyelashes here may move the relationship forward physically but may not get you the kind of long-term relationship you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<p>If he asks about you, then answer him, and the more specific you are the better.<\/p>\n<p>We had a client several years ago who is a bit shy and private. During our coaching sessions, we encouraged her to open up and share her likes and dislikes while dating. For a third date, a man surprised her by taking her to a concert of a group she loved and also packed a picnic of all her favorite things including a pricey bottle of wine she had mentioned to him previously. They got married in July of this year.<\/p>\n<p>Never skip over sharing your authentic self because a man who likes you will want to add to your joy and make you happy in every way that he can.<\/p>\n<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creatingloveonpurpose.com\/7stepstosoulmating\/\" target=\"_blank\"><!--<img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27831%27%20height%3D%2760%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20831%2060%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27831%27%20height%3D%2760%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.loveonpurpose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/click-here1.jpg\">--><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27831%27%20height%3D%2760%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20831%2060%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27831%27%20height%3D%2760%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.loveonpurpose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/click-here1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!--<div id=\"popup1\" class=\"mdc-overlay\">\r\n\t<div class=\"mdc-popup\">\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<a class=\"mdc-close\" href=\"#\">&times;<\/a>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"mdc-content\">\r\n\t\t\t<h5 style=\"text-transform:uppercase;font-size:17px !important;font-weight:500;\">\r\n\t\t\t\tSign up for love notes weekly\r\n\t\t\t<\/h5>\r\n\t\t\t[gravityform id=\"4\" title=\"false\" description=\"false\"]\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>-->\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>\n<h3>He Likes You For Who You Are<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A man who likes you won\u2019t ask or expect you to change. He likes those little quirks about you that make you unique and special. An obvious sign he likes you is when he shares with you those little things about you that bring a smile to his face. \u00a0He likes you for who you are.<\/p>\n<p>It may seem clear that if he is complimenting you, he likes you, but many women overlook this obvious sign. A man who likes you will even like the things that other guys have complained about.<\/p>\n<p>Did one guy say you were too intense? This man loves your passion. Did someone find you a little odd? Your man is into your quirkiness. The man who likes you, likes you because you are different. He likes you for your authentic self and would never ask you to change.<\/p>\n<p>A guy who asks or needs you to change, whether it is your appearance or your behavior, doesn\u2019t really like you. He\u2019s trying to make you into what he likes. You\u2019ll find you are twisting into a pretzel to try and please him. You can\u2019t hold a different shape for a lifetime plus it\u2019s exhausting to try.<\/p>\n<p>Look for the man who likes you as is, just like a unique piece of furniture he found at a thrift store. It may have a few scratches, but it definitely has character.<\/p>\n<p>Stop trying to understand the mysteries of male behavior and instead focus on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourtango.com\/experts\/ornaandmatthew\/signs-man-love-with-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the obvious signs that he likes you<\/a>\u00a0and you\u2019ll never have to wonder what his intentions are.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t waste your time with guys who aren\u2019t ready for a relationship.
