Does My Guy Friend Like Me? 14 Signs He's Totally Into You As More Than A Friend

When youre super-close with a guy, its difficult to tell if his actions are just him being a good friend, or a sign hes trying to tell you that he likes you and wants to date you. And straight-up asking him how he feels often seems out of the question-you dont want to make things awkward and potentially jeopardize the friendship you have.

That being said, if hes doing any of the following, you may have more than a friendship on your hands.

1. He starts inviting you to hang more than usual.

Maybe you and your guy friend have always hung out regularly, but recently, hes started inviting you to more parties than usual. That's a sign your guy friend might like you as more than a friend, says Dr. Terri Orbuch , Ph.D., professor at Oakland University in Michigan and author of Finding Love Again: 6 Simple Steps to a New and Happy Relationship .

2. He's making long-term plans with you.

If hes making distant plans with you (whether its a group setting or one-on-one) for romantic weekend trips that are months away, it means he wants you in his life, and sees you being involved in those big moments, no matter how far out they are. "Its a sign that he likes you when he starts talking about the future with you, says Dr. Orbuch .

3. Hes started touching you more when youre together.

Things used to feel platonic between you both, but now hes grabbing your arm when youre both laughing at a joke, putting his arm around your shoulders when youre sitting at a restaurant booth, or putting his hand on your back as you walk into a room together. This is definitely telling behavior, says Orbuch.

4. You feel sexual tension every time you touch.

His touch might feel different to you too, like theres a flirty, sexy tension that comes with it, unlike when you and other friends and family touch. Hes trying to show that he wants to be more than friends by taking the intimacy up a notch.

Sometimes body language can tell you everything you need to know about a relationship:

5. Hes been introducing you to more and more people in his life.

Your guy friend might like you if hes invited you to meet his other friends, colleagues, or family. Its a sign he wants to show you off to others and wants the important people in his life to meet and spend time with you, says Orbuch.

6. He wants to meet your family, too.

Same goes for asking about meeting your people. He wants to be integrated into your life, she says.

7. He asks to see youa lot.

If hes trying to hang out more often, it could be a sign that hes looking for more from your relationship. Youll notice that hes increasingly demanding of your time, attention and emotions, says Orbuch.

8. He wants to hang-just the two of you.

Its an especially big sign if he wants your hang outs to be one-on-one, says Orbuch.

\"Hell likely ask more questions about you, how you\'re feeling and what you\'re doing.\"

9. He talks about your friendship.

Look for times when your guy friend talks about your relationship with him. Does he like to remind you how unique it is? How close you are? How good you both are at being there for each other? How much fun you have together? Its an indication that he really values what you two have, and isnt afraid to share with you how special it is to him, says Orbuch.

10. Hes been texting/calling you more often.

If digital communication has picked up, that could be a sign your guy friend is into you. (Here's how to respond if you feel like things are getting flirty and you want to reciprocate.)

11. He's asking you more questions.

See if you notice a change in the types of conversations you have too-Hell likely ask more questions about you, how you're feeling and what you're doing, says Orbuch.

12. Talking about your romantic lives feels kind of uncomfortable.

Does it seem like your guy friend doesnt want to hear about your dating life? Or does he clam up when you ask about his romantic relationships? This may be a sign he likes you and wants you to see each other (and only each other) as romantic options.

13. He roasts the guys you date.

Another sign? He tends to be critical of the people you date, says Orbuch. If your partners never seem good enough to him, its because hes interested in you and protective of your feelings.

14. You share inside jokes.

If you and your guy friend basically have a secret language, share a ton of jokes that no one else gets, or reminisce about funny moments from the past, he might have more than friendly feelings for you, says Orbuch. Sharing jokes that have a You just had to be there vibe for everyone else is a way to create emotional intimacy between the two of you and bring you closer.
