15 Signs He Wants You to Notice Him Back & Give Him Your Attention

You’ve been hanging out with this guy, and you’re not really sure if he’s interested in you. It’s time to learn the signs he wants you to notice him.

When we like someone, it’s not easy to hide. But sometimes, you run into people who will have you second-guessing yourself. There’s no need to lose sleep over this. If anything, it’s time you figured out what’s going on for yourself with the signs he wants you to notice him.

We all think we’re subtle when it comes to hiding our feelings for someone. I remember thinking I was so coy when really everyone was placing bets on whether or not the guy I liked would make a move.

We’re all human, and most of us aren’t subtle. Even men, the people who think they’re good at hiding their feelings, expose their inner thoughts for the world to see.

#1 His eyes are all over you. We all have guy friends, and they don’t usually look at us in that way. But you’ve caught him checking you out and staring at you with lovey-dovey eyes. Well, if that’s happening, he’s into you, and he’s just waiting until you start to see him. [Read: Decoding his body language – does he like you or not?]

#2 He’s always around. What can I say? It seems that he’s always around you. He goes the extra mile to make sure he can squeeze in a couple of minutes with you and will take the time out of his weekends to spend them with you. 

#3 You’ve met his friends. If you have mutual friends, then this may not be as important. But if he’s introduced you to his close group of friends that you’ve never met, that’s a big deal. We don’t introduce just anyone to our friends. We make sure they’re special. [Read: 30 facts about guys that can help you read his mind] 

#4 He tries to get into your personal space. We all have our own personal space that’s reserved just for us. But when we like someone, we open up our personal space and allow that other person in. Maybe you opened your personal space without realizing it, or maybe he’s trying to weasel himself in. Point is he’s standing much closer to you than normal.

#5 He tells you he wants you. Well, this one doesn’t need much of an explanation. If he’s telling you he wants you, it’s quite clear he has feelings for you and wants to take things up a notch. So, for him, it’s more than just being noticed by you, he wants you to like him. 

#6 He flirts with you. You know that you don’t have a typical platonic friendship. There’s some chemistry floating between you too. And because there’s chemistry, you notice him flirting with you. Now, maybe you flirt back, and if you do, you should evaluate how you feel about him. [Read: 20 unmistakable signs your friend is seriously crushing on you]

#7 He suddenly improves his appearance. This sign only makes sense if you’re noticing other signs he wants you to notice him from this list. If not, he could be trying to impress someone else. But if he’s exhibiting other signs on this list, and he’s suddenly starting to improve his appearance, it’s showing you something.

#8 He’s nervous around you. When you’re around him, he suddenly becomes super klutzy and will even stutter when he’s trying to talk to you. It’s normal when someone likes another person; they get nervous and unsure of what to do. I think it’s sweet and genuine. [Read: What to do when a guy friend acts weird *or weirder than normal*]

 #9 You see him get jealous. When you guys are hanging out with other people, and another guy comes up to talk or flirt with you, you notice that he gets jealous. He won’t tell you how he feels, but you’re getting a sense that he doesn’t like it when you give your attention to other men.

#10 He’s touchy. Guy friends may touch you, but not too much. They may give you a hug here and there, but they’re not going to overstep the line. But if he likes you, he’ll try to flirt with you, and with flirting comes touching. He may place his hand on your shoulder, or press his leg against yours. Not huge moves, but they’re significant.

#11 He actively listens to you. There are some guys when you talk to them, you see their eyes glaze over and zone out. But not him. When you talk to him, he’s actively listening to you, asking you questions, and genuinely investing his time and energy into the conversation.

#12 He texts you all the time. Guy friends will text you, but definitely not every day. The difference between friends and this guy is that he texts you all the time. He sends you ‘good morning’ texts and never misses the chance to wish you goodnight as well. He wants to talk to you. [Read: 16 signs a guy really likes you but is scared and unsure]

#13 Lots of hugs and kisses *on the cheek*. Oh, he wants to get physical with you, but he’s not going to rush in for a kiss just yet. He’ll give you lots of hugs, maybe even a couple of kisses on the cheek, and if he’s doing that, then there’s no doubt in my mind he isn’t into you. [Read: How to know for sure if a guy desperately wants to kiss you]

#14 He finds a reason to spend time with you. When a guy doesn’t like you, he won’t go out of his way to spend time with you. But if he does like you, he’ll move mountains to get five minutes with you grabbing coffee or going for a walk. He’ll find any reason to spend some quality time with you.

#15 He loves to compliment you. When given the chance, he loves to give you genuine compliments about the new shirt you bought or the way you laugh when you’re excited. It’s these little things, he notices and wants to you know that he sees you. Do you see him?
