12 Tips To Make A Guy Admit He Likes You
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you’re absolutely convinced a guy has a crush on you, but he’s keeping his feelings locked up tighter than a vault?
You’re dying to get in his head to know if he feels the same about you, but you’re also wary of risking your own heart, especially after getting burned in the past.
There are many reasons why a guy may not easily admit his feelings. Here are some frequent ones:
- The most common reason is, without a doubt, fear of rejection. He may worry that if he tells you he likes you and you don’t feel the same way, he will feel embarrassed and hurt.
- He may fear that confessing his feelings will complicate or even ruin your friendship.
- He may have prior commitments with another woman and may choose to stay loyal even though he likes you
- He may lack confidence in himself and doubt whether he’s good enough for you.
- He may also not be entirely sure of his own feelings, or he may need more time to sort out his emotions before expressing them.
- If you’ve often expressed how much you enjoy being friends with him, he may want to respect that, and be hesitant about crossing that friend line.
- He may have gone through a past rejection or heartbreak which makes him cautious about opening up.
- He may simply be naturally private about his emotions and not readily share his feelings.
- Some guys strongly believe that real men do not show their emotions!
Now if you’re pretty sure he likes you, there are things you can do to lead him to share his feelings. I’m going to reveal 12 tips that many women either don’t know or rarely put into practice. Watch all the tips in sequence as each tip builds on the last.
By the time you read the final tip, you’ll know exactly what to do to make your man comfortable and confident enough to admit his feelings for you.
Tip #1: Check the signs that say he actually likes you
First, make sure he’s really into you, and that he’s not juggling someone else in his thoughts.
Does he show you he likes you? Does he listen when you talk? Does he go out of his way to spend time with you, or remember your favorite things?
Look for those extra glances, those little compliments, and the effort he puts into your connection.
On the other hand, if he’s too busy to give you the time of day, then be smart and don’t try to get him to say something he doesn’t mean.
It’s all about getting those feelings confirmed before you take the next steps in your connection.
Tip #2: Show him you get his subtle cues
Alright, so you’ve noticed those little hints he’s been dropping like breadcrumbs on a trail.
Now it’s your turn to respond in a way that lets him know you’re picking up what he’s laying down.
When he drops a hint, acknowledge it with a smile or a subtle nod. This tells him that you’re tuned into his signals and appreciate the effort he’s making.
You can tease him about his hints in a playful way. So say he’s into French cuisine or gardening, you could say something like, “Oh, you’re into that too? We might just be long-lost twins!”
Tip # 3: Hint about other men who seem to like you
You can sneakily test the waters and maybe even ignite his interest by casually mentioning the attention you get from other guys.
During your chats, drop hints about those friendly encounters or fun conversations you’ve had with other guys.
Keep it breezy, like it’s no big deal. The idea here is to show that you cherish your friendships and social connections.
This can get him thinking and make him wonder about his own feelings.
With most men, we’re aiming for a gentle nudge here, not a push. So, tread lightly, and don’t stir up any unnecessary drama or jealousy.
However if he doesn’t seem to react to your subtle hints, you can try a more direct approach. Seek his advice on how to ask someone you like out. If he shows signs of jealousy, playfully tease him with a “Got ya! You like me, don’t you?”
Tip #4: Show Him You’re His Biggest Fan
Let’s make him feel like a rock star in your world! Showing your approval is like giving him a big thumbs-up.
Compliment him genuinely, whether it’s his style, his sense of humor, or his accomplishments.
Make sure your words and actions convey that you think he’s pretty awesome.
Use phrases like:
“One of the things I appreciate about talking with you is…”
“I like the way you…”
“I’m always going to remember that thing you said about…”
Listen when he talks, ask questions about his interests, and show you’re genuinely interested in his thoughts and opinions.
When he feels your support and approval, it boosts his confidence and encourages him to be himself around you.
Tip #5: Observe his body language
Actions often speak louder than words, and a guy’s body language can reveal a lot about his feelings.
Pay close attention to non-verbal cues during your interactions.
Look for signs like prolonged eye contact, him facing you directly when you’re talking, or even him mirroring your gestures.
These signals often indicate interest and attraction.
Also, notice if he leans in when you’re talking, touches his face or hair nervously, or stands closer than usual.
Subtle hints like these in his posture and behavior may reveal his emotions.
Tip #6: Let him see that you find him attractive
Letting him know you find him attractive can be a game-changer. You want him to feel desired without feeling pressured.
Avoid being too obvious; instead, drop subtle hints that make him feel you’re into him.
Use body language to slightly convey your interest – maintain eye contact a bit longer during conversations, let that gaze linger a bit.
Throw in a compliment about his appearance, like “You’ve got great shoulders; I bet you work out.”
These small gestures can work like magic, making him more comfortable and more inclined to admit his own feelings.
Tip #7: Avoid telling him you like him
While it’s tempting to be upfront with your feelings, you should hold back on confessing your affection directly.
No need to go all out with confessions here! Instead of dropping the “I like you” bomb, focus on building a connection that speaks for itself.
Spend quality time together, share your thoughts and stories, and let your actions do the talking.
When he feels genuine enjoyment in your company and feels the comfortable vibe between you two, he’ll likely get the hint without you having to say a word.
Keep it easygoing, and let things unfold naturally.
Tip #8: Don’t ask him how he feels about you
For some guys, putting them on the spot and asking about their feelings will send them running in the opposite direction!
Let him be the one to initiate those heartfelt conversations. By not pressuring him, you create a comfortable environment where he won’t feel the need to run away.
Keep your interactions enjoyable and lighthearted. Over time, he’s more likely to open up on his own, without feeling like he’s being pressured.
Tip #9: Observe how he acts around his friends
A guy’s behavior around his buddies can give you cues about his feelings toward you. His friends are a window into his world!
Pay attention when you’re all hanging out together. Is he extra attentive to you? Do you notice playful teasing or inside jokes? Does he proudly introduce you to his friends?
These things would indicate he’s comfortable and excited to have you around.
On the other hand, if he seems distant or ignores you somewhat when his friends are around, it could mean he’s not quite ready to show his cards.
Tip #10: Share personal things about yourself
Building a connection always involves a degree of vulnerability.
So, don’t be afraid to open up and share something personal about yourself.
It could be a sad childhood story, a weird habit, or your dreams and aspirations. let him in on a little piece of your life.
When you reveal a bit of your inner world, it invites him to do the same.
It also shows that you trust him and value the connection between you.
It’s often a two-way street, and sharing personal anecdotes or thoughts will encourage him to be more open with you.
Tip #11: Make sure he trusts you enough to reveal his feelings
Making him feel comfortable enough to share his feelings is all about building a solid foundation of trust.
Be the person he can count on, the one who keeps his secrets safe and offers a friendly, non-judgmental ear when he needs to chat.
Show genuine care in your conversations, and be there when he needs a buddy.
When he realizes you’re a trustworthy and supportive presence in his life, he’ll be more inclined to let you in on his emotions.
Tip #12: Give him breathing space
Even though you’re eager to connect, it’s crucial to respect his need for personal space.
Everyone has their rhythm, and pushing too hard can backfire.
So, let him have time for himself, his friends, and his hobbies. Giving him space shows that you understand and appreciate his individuality.
It’s not about playing hard to get but rather allowing him room to miss your presence.
This little bit of distance can actually bring you closer in the long run, as it gives both of you time to reflect on your feelings.
Follow the above tips closely and you’ll be surprised by the results!
