“Does he tease you a lot? Is he playful when you’re talking? A man generally teases a woman when he really likes her, because he enjoys seeing her laugh and smile and likes the fun side of the relationship it brings out. If he’s doing it in a mean way, on the other hand, it’s not a good sign. Either he’s secretly got something against you or he’s an ass who needs kicked to the curb.”

“If he only ever calls to make plans, it’s likely that he’s not that interested in you as a person – he might just want to lure you into bed, or he might just want a pleasant way to spend an evening when he feels like it.”

“When you do contact him, how long does he leave it before responding? If he gets back to you right away, then he was pleased to receive your message and he’s excited to start a conversation – he likes you. If he leaves it a few hours, he might still be really into you but trying to play it cool, or he might not be quite as into you as you’d prefer. If he only ever responds when he wants to hook up with you... again, do I need to go on?”

“Does he want to spend time out in public with you, or would he prefer you just go round to his place for the evening – and end up in the bedroom? If a guy is proud to be with a woman, he’s also proud to show her off. If he’s only after one thing, he’ll prefer the convenience of having you close to his bed sheets from the get go.”

“What’s his body language telling you? Does he make eye contact a lot? Do his arms and legs point towards you when you’re talking, rather than away at something else in the room? Does he fidget and groom himself, adjusting his shirt or running his fingers through his hair? Does he pose to make himself look manly, puffing out his chest and putting his hands on his hips like a peacock attracting a mate? These are all subconscious signs of his interest.”

“Does he pay attention to the things you tell him about yourself? If you told him today that you love Italian food, would he mention it in conversation next week? If you expressed an interest in opera, do you think he’d arrange a date at the opera house? If he’s interested in things about you, then he’s interested in getting to know you. And if he wants to try the things you like though he’s never been interested in them before now, that’s even better.”

“Interested men may make fun of your clothes or what you eat for lunch. They may joke with you about your computer skills or the kind of mobile phone you own.
