25 Signs That He Actually Wants To Be More Than Just Friends

Ok, we'll not beat about the bush much. When he wants to be more than just friends with you, it means he's into you; you have won his heart, and as such, he's seeking to have a deeper relationship with you. Sometimes, identifying this kind of feeling in a guy can prove to be difficult especially if you have just met him or he has a way of packaging himself before you so you can't easily read his emotion. Never worry, you can check for any of the signs to be soon discussed to ascertain whether he wants to be more than just friends or not. Most men are predictable unlike you the female folks. There is something common to them all when they have affection for a woman. This is what we shall be exploring and hoping that you'll also exploit to get the true state of mind of your prospect on the future of your relationship.

The basic rule here is to pay a close attention to a man's body language of love. Like it has earlier been stated, most men have similar body language for love. So, let's get down to business and consider the 25 signs he wants to be more than just friends with you. Hope you are set. If so, here we go!

A man's undivided attention to a girl is one of the unmistakable signs of affection he has for her. Most Men would not waste their time and energy discussing or listening to a woman they don't consider attractive or love. And for you the girl, you'll notice that this attention is not just a superficial one; he is actually paying attention to you. He can remember everything you say if you ask him and if there is something that even you have forgotten, be sure a man in love with you would not. Attention remains a strong and reliable telltale of affection from the male folks. If he's been following your every thought and discussion lately and he seems to be having time for each of your requests, no doubt, the dude wants something more than just friends with you.

Most men play this game well with their crush. They stare and glance at you quite often and each time you're about to see face-to-face with them, they quickly look the other way. Once you notice this habit for quite a while in a guy, no doubt, it is one of the signs he's deeply into you. The reason guys stare at the girls they like is that in most cases, the first thing that attracts them to girls is their appearance. Men generally tend to be moved by what they see and when they see whoever they consider attractive to them, they cannot but take more than just a second look.

If you take account of the last 20 text messages or calls you received on your phone, it is not impossible that more than half of it would be from that guy that wants more than casual friends with you. He's always wanting to say "hello" and checking up after you every now and then. What you may find amazing about his calls and text messages is their timeliness. In most cases, you'll feel like he must be monitoring you or reading your mind because the texts and calls would most likely come at the right moments. So, in your search for signs that he wants more than being friends with you, you may also want to consider how frequent his texting and calling are.

A guy who wants more than just being friends with you would start playing the role of a substantive boyfriend, even before making a proposal. He'll always make sure that you don't make decisions that would eventually hurt you. Such a guy would be nice to inform you earlier of any penalty for an action so you don't go foul of it and as such, get punished. You can be sure he'll tell you about an assignment earlier so you can meet up and where you can't, he wouldn't mind offering a helping hand.

As part of the signs a guy wants more than being friends with you, he's going to avoid introducing you to people as his friend. If he has no suitable response as at the time he's being asked about you, he'd rather keep quiet. He is likely going to introduce you by your name if you are more than just a friend to him. The reason for doing this is so he doesn't end up friend zoning you. Even if he's too shy to hit the nail on the head, he'd rather play safe than create an impression that you are just friends.

You can see from the body language of a guy that wants to be more than friends with you that he's picking interest at those things that you like. In fact, where it is possible, he may start hating the things you hate too. What he is looking for is a common ground to found a relationship on. If you like the red color, for instance, don't be surprised that in most of his outfit there'll always be a touch of red. And again, if you have ever told them what your best food is, don't be surprised he may make some efforts to learn how it is prepared. As much as possible too, he'd try to avoid doing anything he knows you dislike.

If he wants more than just being friends with you, among other signs, you would see him treating you differently from any of his other friends. He won't talk to you like others or behave the same way he does before his other regular pals. This special treatment is out of the special place he has created for you in his heart. So, as you look out for the signs, you may want to pay a close attention to this one. Guys do not just accord a special kind of respect to a lady they don't have interest in. So, if you notice he's been especially kind and courteous to you lately, just know that someone is dying to have you.

A guy that is interested in having a relationship with you would often find himself requesting a date with you often. He'll be looking for every opportunity to have a one-on-one discussion with you because it is in those moments that he can best make his intention known. The date may not be an elaborate one but to him, even if everything doesn't last for more than 10 minutes, he'll still value it and ask for more. So, have you found yourself going out on dates with someone you supposed to be just friends? Better wake up; that's part of signs the guy wants more than just being friends with you.

One body language sign of attraction for most guys is compliments. Granted, a guy does not always have to be into you before complimenting you but if in addition to some of the signs we have been discussing, you see him shower praises on you, it's because he wants more than just being friends with you. The truth is that love makes guys see more than they would ordinarily have where it is not. And once they see a thing they appreciate, many of them cannot but voice it out. Others may not feel you worth being complimented but not a guy that loves you greatly.

You may find this incredible but it's the truth. A guy might have the effrontery to talk to you anywhere, anytime, and anyhow if he's got no crush on you. But once the love thing comes in, the same bold and daring guy can become somehow nervous before you. The crush he has on you would somehow make him undecided on how best to act before you so he doesn't ruin his chances of getting you. Most girls don't know that it actually takes some courage for genuine guys to approach them for a date or propose to them. Because you are the one being approached, you may think it's easy but in most cases, for a guy, it isn't. The key to attributing this nervousness to love is for you to know how the said guy behaves normally before. It would not be correct to take nervousness from an established timid guy as a sign he's into you.

A guy knows that one way to be right with you is to win your family's approval. And to this extent, don't be surprised if he starts showing interest in knowing who your dad and mom are or perhaps, visiting you at home. He'll be interested in your siblings too and if you are observant enough, you'll discover he'll respect them too. So, let's reason together now; what business has a guy who just wants to be a casual friend has to do bothering himself with all these? He certainly wouldn't go this far except you grew up in the same neighborhood where he cannot but have known all of these by default.

In the hand of a guy that wants more than just being friends, gifts become a tool by which he subtly communicates love. At first, you may not pay attention to this because you may be thinking it's normal after all he is your friend but with time, you'll start seeing that only a powerful force such as love could have kept making this guy consistent and thoughtful in giving you those gifts. It is not in the habit of the male folks to direct their cash to a direction they don't consider worthwhile in life. A woman can spend based on emotions but only a worthy cause would make a healthy man keep spending on a particular thing. So, you have every reason to think he wants more than just being friends if he keeps giving you nice and great gifts. Please note that we are not saying he'll be giving you gifts every now and then but he'll be somehow consistent. He'll not miss giving you gifts on your important days.

Jealousy comes in when a guy who has been crushing on you sees you flirting or just being free with another guy. You can see this visibly in his body language. He'll feel threatened and may become offended for no reason. To make matters worse is to tell him there's a guy trying to ask you out. This is where you'll see he's been nurturing something for you all these while. He's likely going to become concerned and look for ways to make sure you see the other guy as not being as worthy as himself. How strong his show of jealousy about you would be would depend in part on how strong he loves you.

If you have just changed your dressing style or you make an adjustment to your hair, trust a guy that wants more than just being friends to notice it. This is something even your female friends may not easily notice. But because he has a vested interest in you, he's going to be aware almost every change in you. The guy can even predict correctly whether you are happy or not because he has studied your mood closely than you may ever think. As such, he'll greet you with questions such as "Hope everything is well?" each time he notices any change in your countenance.

The honesty mentioned here is he telling you the truth about his past. He's not going to hide his past relationship with you if he has ever had one. You can easily know that he is telling you the truth about his past. Most of his revelations would be voluntary if the guy wants more than being friends. His aim? To let you know he isn't into any relationship currently and perhaps again to let you know he can be trusted and loved.

Yes, he'll want you to know that he's got a tall dream and wouldn't be ashamed to share it with you. Don't think that this act is natural to him; no, he already takes you to be more than being friends in his mind and as such, ready to open up. Most guys can be very secretive about their plans for the future. Unless you are someone special to them, it would be next to impossible to get them to let the cat out of the bag as regards their plans. So, if this guy tells you his future plans, take it as one of the signs he wants more than just being friends with you; he's probably looking forward to starting a relationship with you.

Trust a guy that wants more than just being friends with you to always like your post and comment on them on social media. Check your Instagram page, Facebook, and the like and he'll not be missing from your friends' list. He knows when you release a new picture and even if no one remembers to compliment you, he will. Perhaps we should digress a bit here: not very many girls know how to manage this situation; most behave like their shadows when they know a guy is seriously into them like this. That is, as the guy makes effort to get closer, they move farther away. There is nothing wrong in staying off if he's not your type. But you are going to be undoing yourself to employ this tactic if you actually like him too. This honest guy might just take it that you dislike him and as such, back off.

If you notice that a supposed male friend of yours is always forgetting his hand on your shoulder or trying to hold your hands always, it may be a big indication that he wants more than just being friends with you. Just pay a careful attention to his body language; you would discover that those contacts weren't accidental after all. It's is his innate desire to want to touch a lady he's deeply into and that's why he can't help himself. Sometimes, if he senses that you appear to be averse to it, he may withdraw a bit and apologize profusely. His apology is as a result of the affection he has for you otherwise, he would have probably become annoyed.

Another thing you would notice from the body language of a guy that wants more than just being friends with you is him seeking your opinion on most issues that concern him. He'll not be shy to feel vulnerable before you because right in his mind, you're more than just a casual friend. That aside, he'll not also force his opinion on you either. If he wants a date and you seem not to be available, he'll not become offended or threaten to break up his friendship with you. Somehow, his understanding and display of maturity would just be amazing. Issues on whether to kiss or not to kiss will not be a problem with him as he may even leave you to decide that. In fact, if you ever express a disdain for kissing, because he wants more than being friends, he'll show a very great understanding. In short, your wish would most time, be his command.

Whenever you are looking for a genuine body language of love in a guy, be sure he is patient. For most guys, patience accompanies love. It's not the number of hugs and kisses he gives or is ready to give that matters but how willing he is ready to be patient with you. In fact, is he willing to delay kissing and sexual contact to an agreed time? Then, he wants more than being friends with you. So, if you're late for a date or disappoints on an agreement, the guy would still keep being patient with you. Even when you flare up for an obviously unworthy reason; because you're more than just a casual friend to him, he'll not be mad at you in return; rather, he'll try to calm you down.

You can tell if a guy wants more than just being casual friends with you by paying attention to his manners whenever you are both together. He's likely going to behave as a gentleman by going out of his way to make things comfortable for you. Let's say the two of you decide to visit the cinema, he'll ensure you are seated in a place where you can catch a glimpse of everything even if doing so means he has to stand. Also, suppose you are both to alight from a vehicle, he'll be quick to get down before you so he can help you with the door. This gentlemanliness is love-mediated. He's seeking every opportunity to communicate to you that you are more than just a friend in his heart. If you know how he does to everyone else, you can better grasp the import of this gesture. Although it may be from his heart of hearts, the motivation for it is the love he has for you.

He cannot just keep things to himself if he's seriously into you. His friends must know about your dates and some things exciting to him about you. Trust him to speak of you favorably before his friends and probably esteem you beyond what you would have thought. Unlike the female folks that generally tend to keep their love life secret, most males are not embarrassed to discuss among themselves certain things about their crush or people they are going out with. If you have ever kissed and that made him feel special, he may not even know when he'll open up to his friend. This does not mean that he is loose. It's just the way he is wired and you don't need to flare up if you hear certain things about yourself from his friends that you know that there is no way they could have known except he told them.

It's hard to imagine anything a guy that wants more than just friends with you can't give you. Typically, he gives even before you ask and most times, he even out-gives. Yes, it's true that casual friends too exchange gifts but his case is different; he gives unreservedly. Sometimes, if giving or providing for your needs may mean he'll have to deny himself of a lot of things, he's ready to do so without murmuring or complaining. You can see the enthusiasm in him and he's always happy to be in a position to help.

It's not impossible that occasionally, you and this guy would have some fights; but one of the signs that would tell you he has a lot in mind for you more than being friends is he reaching out to you for reconciliation as soon as you both have a fight. Suffice to say, this guy would admit his fault (if he is the cause of the misunderstanding) without trading blames. In fact, you wouldn't even have a problem resolving differences with him because he'll be open to you.

The male folks generally aren't good at keeping dates in mind as their female counterparts unless a propellant is in place. In this case, you have a guy that is dying inside to have you. He's never going to forget any of your anniversaries or birthday for whatever reason. More than him not forgetting those days, he's also going to go out of his way to make them memorable for you. You can be assured of his presence and support more than what a casual friend would do.

And there you have the signs that he wants to be more than being friends with you. Some of the signs are subtle while some are direct. In all, you can see the care and respect with which a guy that really likes you would relate to you. Perhaps, as we conclude, one thing that you should pay attention to is patience. A guy that really loves you would wait for the right time to kiss and have sex with you. Casual kissing and sex are not on his agenda because to him, you are more than being a casual friend. Therefore, if at least 7 of the listed signs in this piece resonate with you, you need no other evidence to establish that he wants more than being friends with you. It is now going to be up to you to determine what you want.
