Sometimes it’s difficult to tell if a guy likes you or not.

We can be pretty subtle about it. So, what are the signs? What do they want from you? And how can you know for sure if their intentions are good or bad, and avoid getting hurt in the process?

Here is a list of 10 things guys do when they like you.

1) He wants to be close to you

If a guy likes you, he’ll try to get close to you. He will want to be near you as often as possible.

This is related to the proximity principle.

According to this principle of social psychology, physical closeness often proceeds emotional closeness.

He’ll stand close to you. He might place his hands on you casually, like touching your arm or your shoulder when laughing at a joke.

“A guy who holds your hand or puts his arm around you is showing interest. We don’t tend to touch people we don’t like, so touch can be an indication of attraction.”

— Alisha Powell, PhD, therapist
