Does He Like You? A Surefire Trick Will Tell

Has this ever happened to you?

You meet a guy. Maybe you meet him twice or three or four times, and every time you see him, he's attentive. He buys you drinks, tells you stories about his childhood, wants your opinion on books and movies, or describes a new project he's excited about.

And you, quite reasonably, think, "Hey, this guy really likes me."

But then something doesn't add up: There's a girlfriend (or a wife!) in the background. Or he's definitely single, but he limits your relationship to the times when you run into one another. Or he calls, but he doesn't let you see his house.

Just when you're thinking, "Something's not quite right here," he spontaneously buys you a bouquet of flowers after you run into him somewhere.

And then, you lie awake replaying scenes between you: He said this. You said that. He looked at you like this and touched your shoulder.You giggled and lightly touched him back.

And so it goes. In circles and circles. You wonder how to decipher whether he likes you or if he's just wasting your time?

Here's how to do it: Ask yourself, "Do his words match his actions?"

That's it.

-If the man's buying you flowers but not calling you, they don't.

-If he's telling you his life story but not asking you out, they don't.

-If he's got a girlfriend (or a wife!) in the background, they definitely don't.

Which means it's time for you to make yourself scarce. If you run into him (and do try not to run into him), be polite but head directly for the exit.

You deserve a man whose words match his actions. You deserve a man who loves you and never lets you forget it. God didn't put you on the planet to "crack" some man's "code." You're not here to read anybody's mind!

Hold out for a guy whose words match his actions. This is your life we're talking about.
