10 surprising signs he wants you but is holding back
1) He acts differently around you
When we are really in love with someone, we want to be as alluring as possible – and act as the best version of ourselves. Notice how this guy acts, talks, and behaves around you and when he’s with his friends and colleagues.
Does he seem to get quiet, nervous, or struggle with words? Maybe he’s anxious about the situation he’s in. Or he could be turning up his charm and showcasing his witty one-liners so you’ll notice him?
If he behaves differently towards you, then it’s certain that he likes you and really wants you.
2) His face brightens when you’re around
We will smile when we feel happy or find something amusing. Pay attention to how often this guy shows his smiles when you pass by or when you talk. It could be his way to let you know that he’s approachable and you can be comfortable around him.
You can almost feel a different kind of energy. You can see a lot from his eyes and the way he smiles. They’re telling the truth. So if he looks at you with a spark in his eyes, take it as a sign that he’s into you.
3) He wants to get closer to you
When a man loves you, he’ll find ways to be around you all the time. He feels good seeing you and being around you but doesn’t want to admit it yet. Watch out for signs that show he wants to be near you.
For example, he’ll find a way to sit next to you. Or when you’re having dinner with a group of friends, he’ll position himself where he could see you. And if he checks you out, visits you, or invites you over – it means he likes you.
4) His behavior has changed
You can notice changes in a man’s behaviors when he is really into you. Maybe he’s acting a bit distant or differently than before as he’s worried about what you’ll think. He could be scared that you’ll reject his true feelings for you and he’ll stay in the friend zone.
5) He pays attention to details
You know that this person cares when he listens to what you say. He even remembers every tiny detail of it. You’ll be surprised that he knows what you wear the day you met, your likes, your pet’s birthday, and a lot more. And he doesn’t just hang on it, he values and respects what you have to say.
If he’s interested in your life and remembers things, it’s an obvious sign that you mean a lot to him.
6) He compliments you
Hearing a compliment especially if it’s from a guy you have a soft spot on is flattering.
He admires your looks, the way you smile and talk, and your passions in life. He even goes out of his way to make you smile when you’re having a bad day. And he would even laugh at your jokes even if you think they’re not good enough.
While he still can’t express his love for you, he’s showing it in the best way he knows how.
7) He’s jealous of other guys
Notice how his face gets red or grit his teeth when you talk with other guys – especially when he knows that someone is into you.
He’s just trying to protect you and scared that you might fall for someone else. Take this as a sign that he feels something for you and wants you as her girlfriend, but doesn’t want to admit it yet.
8) He gives you his full attention
In modern time, take it as a compliment when someone gives you his full attention.
When you’re together, he doesn’t seem to care or look at his phone. Instead, he’s glued onto you. It seems that he didn’t want to miss anything you say or do. Nothing else seems more important to him than your presence. When he cares more about you, then it’s definite that he’s interested in you.
9) He values your advice
If he constantly turns to you for advice on important things, that’s because he sees you as someone he can trust and a confidante.
He even considers your opinion on decisions he needs to make – from family matters to career decisions. This shows that he cares about what you think. He’s also finding a way to reveal parts of his soul to you.
10) He’s supportive of you
This man wants to be your hero. He’s there for you when you need him – and even if you don’t. He’s eager to help you whenever he can and does his best to be with you when you need him. He even goes the extra mile for you. Count on him to be there for you – from supporting your views and cheering you on the sides to encouraging you to pursue your dreams. Even if he hasn’t expressed his true feelings for you yet, the support he’s giving you shows a lot. It’s a sign that he loves you.
