We all know that there comes a time in a
relationship when ask ourselves this “Is he into me as much as am into
him”? or “How can i tell if he likes me”? Well below are tips and signs
stating when a guy is really into his chick. This applies for all men,
white, black, albino, crustacean etc… lol.
Trust me, no matter how busy a guy gets
if he’s into you he will make time to call or text you. Remember how
busy you get and still get time to send a text? Well the same applies
for a guy that is serious minded about a relationship. If he doesn’t
call or text, Do Not respond by calling or texting him, it’s no use and
you don’t want to be that “stalkish chick” who can’t just leave him be.
It’s time to move on.
Have you been dating for a few weeks and
you are yet to meet with his friends? Then there’s a little problem. If
he keeps hiding you from people he knows, that means your not that
important to him. Hence, you are not qualified to meet those important
to him. Moving On!
A guy who wants you, would really “date”
you. He would want to get to know you and be seen with you. Not just
have sex and watch TV with you. It’s best not to have sexual relations
with a guy you like till you both get to know each other at length.
He holds your hand in public, doesn’t
hesitate to peck you on the cheek or give you a full one on the lips.
Doesn’t give you the “i don’t like public display of affection line”. If
he doesn’t do all that you are in trouble oh! Never settle for less
when it comes to relationships, although compromising for other things
is also good in a relationship.
If he’s talking commitment with you and
trust and a few months into the relationship settling down with you,
calling you his wifey or girlfriend. He is into you. On the other hand,
constant talks about his ex, how much fun they both had, heart breaks
etc… If a guy is into you all that won’t even cross his mind. He would
be really into You!
Dating can be so much fun with the right
person. Do not settle for less when it comes to a relationship with a
guy you like. He must equally do the hard work to make IT work.
It is no longer news that the entertainment industry is one of the
