What are the signs that a male friend might like you?

It's rather obvious. He predominantly spends time with you, talks to you a lot, wants to spend much time with you and therefore gets in contact with you on a regular basis.
I dont think you can say that for all blokes though can you... everyone is different.
Yeah...but that's fairly universal stuff to be fair.....if he's not going out of his way to spend time with you and isn't getting in touch with you on a fairly regular basis, then it's pretty safe to say he's not bothered.....
* lots of hugging/normally unnecessary touching
* caring attitude
* lots of txting/chatting
* tickling
* them wanting to see you
Tink - hows this guy been acting with you?
but at the same time they are universal things you might do towards someone you considered a good friend.
Also I think some people become slightly distant from people they like if they aren't really sure what to do about it. I'm not saying Strubbles was wrong by any means... I'm just saying I don't think its a plain cut as that.
I'm sure some guys would do that. Bu then other guys probably aren't as forward as that. Or they may not think they stand a chance with the girl and so instead they become distant
And recently he's been really keen to start seeing me again, talking to me quite a bit. Maybe he just wants to be my friend but I dunno. I guess I don't really know until I see him again.
My male friend does that and he definitely doesn't fancy me. I'm not his type.
Yeah...but suppose the key is a change in behaviour...if your mate always does that with you, then he probably doesn't....but if you have a mate who isn't normally that touchy feely but then starts hugging you or being slightly more tactile, could be a sign he's after more....
flirting, calling you a lot, spending a lot of time with you, making passes at you, wanting to see you ...
Of course not every guy follows those principles, usually though.
I agree.
I reckon if you have an inkling that he likes you then there is a good chance he does. Its not always the case but IMO usually trusting your instincts is a good way to go, it is for me anyway.
I think it's a relatively accurate rule of thumb. Of course you can't make a universally correct rule applying to every male on this face of the planet, including aboriginees that make a rain dance if they want to show affection. In the end those signs are usually a rather certain giveaway.
I think it's almost safe to say he is interested (if he's not doing it for the jist of it, bcause he has an girlfriend or is gay or whatever).
So, what are you going to do about it?
As I guy, I think you hit the nail on the head with that list.
I've been in a relationship for a long time now, but those are a few things guys do when they like a girl. If he will cancel plans with his guy friends to hang out, then that's usually a sure sign as well. Not so sure I agree with the "caring attitude" point though, was that a suggestion that guys don't care about girls unless they are attracted to them? :no:
