You and your crush might have known each other for a while, but lately you’ve been wondering how he truly feels about you. His behavior sometimes hints that he’s falling for you, so how can you really tell? Luckily, even the most mysterious guy gives off unmistakable signals that he’s head over heels. Whether he’s a new boyfriend, a crush, or just a friend, we’ll go over the most common signs that love is on his brain. Read on to know what to look for!

This article is based on an interview with our dating coach, Candice Mostisser. Check out the full interview here.

Things You Should Know

  • Notice how often he talks to you. If he’s the one initiating your convos and clears his schedule to hang out with you, he’s likely falling for you.
  • Watch how he behaves when you enter the room. A guy falling for you will often light up when he sees you and bee-line right to your side.
  • See if he’s more protective over you. If your crush is falling in love, he’ll often drop everything to be with you when you need him.

    • When you and your crush discover that you have interests and hobbies in common, he’ll likely be super excited. This is also a sign that he’s falling even more deeply in love.
