For us ladies, we often find it rather challenging to read the reactions of our male counterparts. Yet it is very important to determine if a guy likes you in order to make the right decision. However much interest you have in a guy, you should not try to go to him at all costs. You should know whether the man really likes you, for that is when your relationship will be fruitful.

It is important for you to know how to tell whether a guy really likes you, so that you won't waste your energy in what will just cause you a heart ache. Here are some methods that will help you to know where you stand in a man's life. Please understand that these are general signs, and every man is different. However, they will give you a fairly good idea of what is going on.

Be forthright. Yes, although it may seem odd, sometimes it is good to ask the man straight to his face whether he likes you. It is better to know the truth, as it were, from the horse's mouth and avoid a lot of misunderstandings and wasting of precious time. As much as you may wish for a positive response, there are times when the answer may be negative. Do not take this personally. After all, it will have prevented you from experiencing a lot of painful experiences later on.

However, even before you ask, there are a number of signs that will help you to determine what is going on at the back of a man's mind as far as you are concerned. Here are some of the signs you should watch out for.

While people often associate blushing with us ladies, the truth is that a man who is interested in you will also tend to blush when you meet, or your eyes lock. The way he looks at you will also give away his inner feelings towards you. An interested man tends to look at you pretty frequently. However, you should be aware that stalkers will also tend to look at you often. The eyes of a man who shows interest will have dilated pupils. Take note of this when it is bright since the pupils naturally dilate when it is dim.

Another important indicator of a man's interest is his efforts at drawing your attention. When you are in a crowd the man will also try to find out where you are.

When you make an indication of a joke, it will not pass his attention, and he will laugh at it. The man will also tend to tease you, but not ruthlessly. This is another method of drawing your attention and letting him be in your memory.

In addition, a guy who is interested in you will take note of minor things about you. For instance, he will remember little things that you had said earlier. He will also notice fairly little changes in you.

However, a man who seems at home with every lady around is most likely to be merely playing around even with you. These general guidelines will help you to get into his mind and know whether he likes you.
