Has a guy asked you out and you instantly felt like you want to take him to that bar you saw in his ex’s college dorm? You met him on a blind date and now you’re stuck waiting for him to call. It’s gross and too soon! Why won’t he call? What does he really want? If you’re asking yourself these questions, chances are you have a crush on him!

While it may be difficult to not feel lust and attraction at the same time: most of us still love the feeling of attraction. In general, it would be good to say that we have moved on from that and aren’t open about our feelings like we used to be. Unfortunately, being totally honest about who feel strong emotions for and who just don’t feel anything for someone can feel just as scary. It’s a good idea to know what your guy is thinking before you let him know what he’s feeling.

The first thing you need to determine is whether or not you think your crush has feelings for you: There are a lot of women out there who believe they have a crush on a man before he has any interest in them. Be aware that it’s not uncommon for a man to say he’s just meeting you to keep from potentially losing you. If you meet him just for the sake of dating, then your crush may very well be interested in you.

However, if your man keeps bringing up the subject of meeting you: and wants you to hurry up, then he’s got eyes only for you. If he was just trying to get some good news from you, he wouldn’t bring it up. He’s obviously using the subject to pressure you into a date. Chances are good that he’s just as insecure in his love life as you are.

Once you’ve decided if your crush has feelings for you or not: try to find out what his life is like. Does he work hard at his job? Is he married or not? What are his habits around women? These are important clues to help you tell if he likes you. If a man comes to work with his shirt off and an erection hanging out of his pants every time you talk to him, he probably likes you.

Sometimes a man’s real interest is another woman: If you spend a lot of time with this man and he seems genuinely interested in you as a person, then he’s got a crush on you. A man’s ego can affect his behavior. If a man feels like he’s better than everyone else (including you), he’ll want to hang out with you more often and will see you in ways that other men won’t.

It’s important that you accept a man’s loyalties if you want to know how to tell if a man has one.
