We have all heard countless times about how frustrated men get that women are so hard to read or understand. Well, we women know that men can be just as hard to figure out. This is especially true if you have your eye on a certain someone but aren’t sure whether he likes you back.

Trying to get a romantic relationship started is hard enough even if you know exactly how the other person feels. It is even harder when you are in the dark about his real feelings and intentions.

It is impossible to read his mind, but you can get the inside scoop on the common signs that he will show you that indicate he likes you. Here are 4 sure signs he likes you:

1. He makes it a point to be near you at often as possible

Physical attraction between man and woman is animal and very physical. At its most basic level, attraction is based on the human need to reproduce. Nature dictates that we can only reproduce with those with whom we are physically close. If the guy you have a crush on makes it a point to be around you as often as possible, this is a sure sign he likes you. It doesn’t matter exactly what he is doing when he is near you, by the way: even if he is not paying any direct attention to you, if he is nearby often, count this as a sign that he has a crush on you.

2. He often touches you innocently

Attraction and love go hand-in-hand, and attraction is often expressed through touching. The act of touching can be a proxy, or substitute, for the act of making love. Light touches on the back, shoulder, hair, or hands – even if they seem accidental – are excellent indicators that romantic feelings are present.

3. He tries to get a reaction out of you

If you are on speaking terms with the man you like (such as if he is a co-worker), take it as a sign that he likes you if he is constantly trying to get a reaction out of you. This could be anything from taking little verbal jabs, kidding with you, or complimenting you. Anything he does, really, to get you to express some sort of emotion toward him is a sign of this kind of behavior.

4. He kids and lightly makes fun of you

A common tactic that men use to indirectly show they care is to make fun of a woman, ever so lightly and in an inoffensive manner. While this sounds like something straight out of the third grade, it is a behavior that typically extends well into adulthood. This type of indirect sign of affection is common with men who are not yet at that stage of relationship with the woman they like.

If the guy you like is showing you one or more of these signs, take it as a huge compliment; it probably means he likes you. Now is your chance to take the next steps and figure out how to really get his attention.
