He starts seeing her in a new light. His behavior, towards her, changes. For a while, Mindy doesn't notice the change. But then it gets too obvious to ignore. She wonders, what is wrong?"

Has such a scenario ever occurred in your life? Are you wondering if "he likes you or he likes you not". Trust me, petal plucking is not going to help you out. In fact, guys show a few characteristics when they like a girl. All you need to do is watch out for them, and you will have your answer to the traumatic question, "how to know if a guy likes you".

Before we begin, you need to understand that guys can be masochistic in front of everyone, but when a guy likes you, he can be fairly shy and timid. The best way to use these "signs that a guy likes you", is by being secretive of your knowledge. If you make it obvious that you are deciphering his "code" of conduct, there is a good chance that he may back off.

When a guy likes you, following the law of averages, there are two basic ways in which he will behave.

Firstly, if a guy is attracted to you, he might try to be extremely attention seeking. He will try his best to be your knight in shining armor. He will be possessive and protective. He will want to be around you all the time. More so he will try to avoid having any other guy around you. He might even end up saying something silly, just because he wanted to draw your attention to him. Something like marking his territory. Now, these sound nice. They makes the feelings apparent. But the flaw in the plan is that most guys tend to go overboard with this. They will soon start seeming clingy and needy. After a point of time, there is a good chance, that any attraction that you may have harbored for him would get questioned. At that time, you try to break away. Unfortunately, that may instigate even more clingy behavior.

Secondly, he might try to hide his feelings from you (for the fear of rejection). To this end, he will end up avoiding you, such guys often end up being rude with you in public. They will tease you with others and pull your leg. Basically, they will do everything in their power to make sure that their feelings are hidden. In such a case, you will also start thinking that the guy doesn't like you. Simply because, logically, if a guy likes you he wouldn't be so rude. The more you try to go closer to him, the more the intensity of his behavior. In fact, if you try to go away from him, that also will lead to a similar behavior.

I am sure that by now you are wondering how to tell if a guy likes you. The behaviors discussed are quite deceptive. There are a few key points you could keep an eye out for.

• A guy likes you when there is a connection that the two of you share, exclusively. He will try to keep that connection at all times. No matter how he behaves he will make sure that, that connection is maintained.
• As a law of nature, when we see something, that is an object of our desire, our pupils dilate. You could check to see if his pupils dilate when he sees you. To know if his intentions are honorable, you could take the next step by trying to see if they dilate when he sees anyone else as well.
• If a guy likes you, he will try to show you off. That way, other guys will get the hint that you are taken, and will not try to get you. So if the guy is introducing you to all his friends and making sure that the association is amicable, there is a good chance that the guy likes you.
• If a guy likes you, he will, come what may, protect your honor. As in, even if he is trying to hide his feelings from you, he will not let anyone else say or do anything that could question your honor.
• If a guy likes you, he will talk about you in your absence, fondly. To know of this, you need to have a spy behind enemy lines. So next time, try planting a spy when you are not around and see if he talks about you, and what.
• Guys tend to get nervous around girls they like. So if the guy likes you, he will be slightly nervous. Keep an eye out for a restless leg or nonsensical muttering.

There are many ways in which a guy could like a girl. As such, he may need some time to figure out the way he likes you. Give him this time. Don't ignore him. If you like him as well, then make sure he knows. Give him signs that you like him as well. This might encourage him to come out in the open and say what he truly feels.

Lastly, I would like to say that any of the points discussed above, could be disagreed with. All guys are unique and this article has been written keeping the law of averages in mind. This is where I sign off. All the best with your man!
