Dear girls! We all want to know when a man likes us, especially if he is handsome and single. Does the young man feel mutual sympathy? In this article, I will tell you how to know if a guy likes you.
It is difficult to understand true feelings if a person does not talk about them. It seems that he is hiding his sympathy. You can conduct a test that will help identify a guy's interest in you. You can also pay attention to the signs that will indicate male sympathy.
Sympathy and empathy
The concept of sympathy was introduced in ancient Greece. Modern psychologists, sociologists and philosophers often use it in their research. However, there is no clear answer to the question of what sympathy is. This word is used to denote a sense of community among people, a positive attitude towards someone, falling in love. A common definition of empathy is the ability to sympathize with others, to understand and experience the feelings of others as if they were our own. It is important to understand that sympathy in its modern sense implies a positive attitude towards a person. This is its main difference from empathy. This definition presupposes a complete understanding of the other person, but does not predetermine the attitude towards him. Empathy is the ability to understand how your opponent thinks, what he feels, and why he acts the way he does in a particular situation.
Verbal and non-verbal signs of female sympathy
Non-verbal signs by which female sympathy can be determined are:
- Delayed gaze A girl begins flirting with a short but noticeable glance at a man, after which she quickly turns away or switches her attention. She can repeat this several times. If you are more careful, this signal cannot be missed
- Preening If a girl is interested in a guy, she straightens up, takes the most successful body pose to emphasize all her external advantages, and straightens her hair
- Smile If a girl smiles slightly when a guy meets her gaze, this is a clear sign of sympathy
- Touch This signal can be observed after starting a conversation. If a woman shows interest, she accidentally, and sometimes deliberately touches her partner's hand. If a girl touches her palm, this indicates a desire for closer communication
As for verbal signs, everything is much more obvious here. A girl is clearly interested and shows attraction to you if she:
- actively participates in the conversation
- avoids monosyllabic answers
- shares personal information
- asking questions
- often calls you by name
IMPORTANT: If a girl is expressive, emotional, actively gestures when telling something, blushes easily, etc., she undoubtedly experiences feelings of sympathy and is trying to impress you.
Is there such a thing as friendship?
In what situations is it appropriate to express your attitude towards something or someone using the adjective “I like”? Each of us meets and meets new people from time to time. Some of them are pleasant, while others do not evoke positive emotions or are downright unpleasant. In this case, answering the question of what sympathy is is very simple. This is a positive assessment of a person, a desire to communicate with him, to do something together. However, such an arrangement often does not require anything more. It’s enough for us to simply communicate with a person, be friends and spend time together. In other words, in its pure form, sympathy does not imply falling in love or love and can arise between people of the same sex. Is reciprocity important for this feeling? Most likely, yes: a person who has experienced sympathy for someone will seek a response from the object. In its absence, he will feel unhappy even if he did not pretend to anything other than friendship and communication.

From sympathy to love...
Let's remember how a romantic relationship begins? People meet, begin to communicate, become interested in each other and gradually come to the realization that they are now a couple. It is at this stage or a little later that confessions of their feelings begin, and then some kind of agreement can be reached that determines the nature and style of the relationship between these two in a love context. The first time, when everyone seems to be on their own, but wants something more from communicating with the other - this is sympathy. If you ask a person how he feels, he will, without hesitation, tell you about his disposition towards his partner, about the impressions he received and his desire to continue communication. Signs of sympathy in this case are an understanding of what exactly a person likes, an unambiguously positive assessment of him. If this feeling has a romantic connotation, then the person experiencing it will be ready to pursue the one he likes and change for the sake of the attention of the person he likes.
Liking test
Try touching the guy and watch his reaction. If he likes you, he will unconsciously touch you back.
Boasting
If a guy begins to praise himself in the presence of a girl, but behaves more calmly and reservedly around other people, such behavior can be equated to a sign of sympathy and means that he wants her to pay attention to him.
Attention to details
During a conversation with a guy, you notice that he refers to facts in the conversation that you casually said earlier without paying attention to it. But the young man remembered them.
Close contact
Remember how often a guy tries to get closer to you. If he wants to spend time with you at every possible opportunity, this is an undeniable sign of sympathy.
Constriction
If you catch his eye on you, he will start to blush. Shyness cannot be hidden if this trait is present in a person.
Politeness
Guys understand that girls like politeness and beautiful actions. They will open the door for the lady, help her take off her outerwear, and give compliments. All these actions will occur intrusively, so that the girl notices the courtship.
Direct question
If you don't want to play charades, ask the guy a question straight to his face. Does he like you or not? With your question, you will give him another reason to confess, especially if you hint about the reciprocity of feelings.
Stay alone
Perhaps you spend all your time with your friend. The guy may be embarrassed to approach her. If you notice that he is showing signs of attention, ask your friend to step away for a couple of minutes. Perhaps he will take advantage of the time provided to get acquainted.
Girls, I hope I helped you figure out how to know that a guy likes you. You can also learn how to recognize that a man has fallen in love with you.
Add your information in the comments. We need to broaden our general horizons.
Where does sympathy come from?
No matter what anyone says, during our first contacts we largely evaluate those around us by their external signs and the impression they make. Most often, mutual sympathy arises between people from the same social class, the same subculture, united by common living conditions, ideology, interests or way of thinking. In a crowd, we instinctively look for those who are similar to ourselves. It is much easier to understand someone who lives in similar conditions, is interested in the same things and has similar beliefs. Liking does not necessarily arise immediately after meeting. How many stories of best friends or married couples begin with the story that the main characters have known each other for a long time, but previously “didn’t pay attention to each other”? And this is the same case when we begin to sympathize with someone after an outstanding act on his part, some kind of crisis or, conversely, a bright moment, or after close communication. When talking about what sympathy is, we must not miss the fact that the feeling is, first of all, positive and pleasant, most often for both parties. Don’t be afraid to communicate with others and get to know each of them better: believe me, there are many more like-minded and pleasant people around than might seem at first glance.
Recognizing the sympathy of a stranger
There is a situation when you are walking along the streets and meet the eyes of a guy. How can we determine that this was not an accident? If a girl is attentive, she will be able to distinguish a random glance from a desired one.
If the girl likes him, the man will look at her. His gaze will be interested. Depending on the character of the young man, the look may be different. Long and piercing or will shoot short bursts at the girl.
If she observes that a guy eats with his eyes, but does not dare to get acquainted, do not get upset ahead of time. Not all guys are decisive in their actions. If you come across a shy young man, perhaps he is waiting for an answer. If you show your approval for your acquaintance, this will become the foundation from which he will start and approach you. Your sweet smile can be a sign of approval.
Not only a look can mean interest in the opposite sex. Also a symbol of sympathy is a guy’s smile and his wink at you. A very telling sign is that if he really liked a girl, he will find circumstances to meet her again. He will find out what places you visit and begin to appear there, find a page on social networks and try to get acquainted through it.
