Signs He’s Thinking About You—And Is Pretty Serious About It
I think that life would be much easier if we could read other people's minds and know their intentions, and that's even more true for romantic relationships. Unfortunately, we aren't so blessed and instead need to read each other's behavior to understand where we stand with a romantic interest.
These are some signs that show he's thinking about you when you're apart and that he's probably actually serious about you.
He Gets You Thoughtful Little Gifts
It can be something as simple as him knowing that you love sugar cookies so he brings you a few from the store on his way home when you mention you've had a bad day.
He Thinks Of Excuses To See You
They're simple excuses, like him saying he needs your opinion when picking out a gift for his mom or "forgetting" something at your house so he has to come back.
He Watches/Likes Everything You Post
Whenever you post something online, he's liking it, commenting on it, watching it, and responding to it. He's regularly checking what your social media activity is because he wants to know what you're up to.
He Asks Good Follow-Up Questions
Whenever you mention something you like or something you're passionate about, he probes further because he wants to know what you think about it or what your opinion on a matter is. He's genuinely interested in learning more about you.
He Brings Up Inside Jokes Out Of The Blue
You'll just be going about your day normally when you'll receive a text from him with a picture or meme that directly relates to something you guys have previously talked about.
He Frequently Will Text You First
You don't always have to start a conversation with him to get a response, and sometimes, even if you haven't responded, he'll start a new conversation. He makes it clear that he wants to talk to you.
He Points Out Cute Little Milestones
Even if you haven't been paying attention to them, he'll point out things like the first month mark, or that you guys have seen each other multiple days in a row for the first time.
He Checks In With You When He Knows You're Going Through It
If you mention that you're stressed about something at work or you're having a personal problem, he'll follow up later to ask you about how you're feeling now or if there's anything he can do to make it better.
He's Always Considerate Of Your Schedule
When it comes to planning dates or other activities, he always checks to make sure that the timing is actually good for you. If he wants to see you randomly, he makes sure that you're not already busy and reschedules accordingly if you are.
His Friends Know About You
It's always a good sign when a guy you've been seeing goes out of his way to bring you up to his friends. Extra points if he actually takes you to meet them early on.
He Texts You When He's Out With His Boys
He'll be out with his friends, either hanging out at their place or going out on the town, but he'll go out of his way to still keep up a conversation with you despite clearly having other stuff going on.
He Remembers Details You Tell Him About Yourself
You can mention something small in passing while on a date, and, later on, he will bring it up in some way. It shows that he's really interested in listening to you.
He Always Keeps His Word
When he says he's going to do something or makes a plan with you in advance, he is never late or absentmindedly forgets that he agreed to it. If he has to cancel, he does it in advance.
He Calls You When He Has Good News
When we get good news in life, we always want to share it with the people we care about. If he's calling you early when he hears something good, it means that he really likes you.
He Drunk Calls You (Without An Agenda)
I want to make it clear: this is not the same as if he drunk calls you when he's looking for a booty call. He's drunk calling you because he wants to talk about something stupid, like the taco stand you told him to try.
He Sends You Lots Of Memes
Okay, this one might sound like the bar is low, but think about it: who do you send the most memes to? Generally, you think of people when you see a meme, so you're going to send it to someone you care about.
He Talks About You Doing Things Together In The Future
It can be something as simple as mentioning an upcoming concert he wants to take you to or talking about planning a vacation together sometime in the next few months.
He Thinks About Your Preferences Before Acting
Not all romantic gestures are created equally. For example, a surprise date might be someone's dream, while others would find it a stressful activity. His actions aren't just what he thinks are "romantic," but things that he knows you specifically would like.
You Feel Like A Priority
Ultimately, our gut feelings are often a good indicator of how others are treating us. If you feel like a guy is treating you in a considerate manner, he is probably thinking of you often.
If It's Unclear Where You Stand With Him, Try Having A Discussion About It
If you've been seeing a guy for a while and still don't really know how he views you or where you stand with him, you should probably sit him down and have a conversation about it so you're both on the same page.
