If The Guy in Question is Giving You These 7 Signs, He is Crushing Hard on You

Knowing whether that cute guy really is flirting with you virtually, or they’re simply being friendly, is something you must know to avoid an embarrassing show of affection. Of course, you want to be sure that you’re on the same page with how guys text their crush. Nobody wants to basically put themselves out there and say ‘hey I like you’ without first having a little reassurance that they’re not going to be knocked back!

That’s why it’s so important to think like a guy when it comes to texting. If you can do that, you won’t put yourself in any potentially embarrassing situations and enjoy the flirtation and attention with ease!

# He mentions what he would be doing if he were there with you

Depending on the type of guy he is, and how confident he’s feeling, he’s bound to mention what the two of you would be doing if he was there with you. Now, this could be sexual or completely innocent. But the idea is that he’s picturing himself with you in that moment and imagining you together.

The sexual innuendo side of this is likely to come in a late night text. It’s the virtual version of a booty call, so certainly be on the lookout for that one. If the texts don’t come at any other time of the day, you might have found yourself a rather desperate player.

# His texts are emoji central

In terms of how guys text their crush, it’s as much about non-verbal signs as verbal ones *or written ones in this case*. If you notice that his texts are filled with flirty emoji signs, you’re in! Look for the winking emoji, the smiling emoji *he’s an innocent soul if you see this one a lot*, the heart eyes, the blown kiss, and if you’re seeing the peach and the aubergine… yeah, he’s not so innocent!

Basically, look for a lot of emojis. It shows he’s trying to add character to his texts, perhaps he’s not sure what to say. If you’re noticing more emojis than words, think about how you’re actually going to have a verbal conversation with this guy – too many emojis are annoying and can look a little immature.
# He’s always texting you first

Isn’t it great when someone texts you first? You don’t have to sit there and wonder whether you should text and whether you’re annoying them, because they’re always in there first!

It’s a great feeling. It also is a sure fire sign that the guy likes you because he won’t keep you waiting. He wants to talk to you. This is probably one of the best parts of having someone crushing on you. And assuming you like them back, it’s the virtual honeymoon period of your possible future relationship.

Now, the question is, should you reply straight away or should you wait? If he’s putting in the effort to always text you first, think about this in two ways: a) do you really want him to sit in misery, waiting for your reply? And, b) if you are too eager to reply, will he stop with the effort? Oh, guys are confusing!

# You don’t have to wait for replies

One of the best ways to know about how guys text their crush is whether or not he makes you wait for a reply to a text you sent back. If you’re waiting ages, let’s be honest – everyone has their phone with them these days, and he’s unlikely to be that busy. That shows a lack of effort.

Nobody has time for that. On the other hand, if you’re never waiting very long, that’s a great sign that this guy is actually crushing in your direction.

# He sends good morning and good night texts

If you’re receiving regular good morning and good night texts from a guy, he likes you! Yes, it does mean that he thinks of you when he wakes up and he thinks of you before he goes to bed, and that’s a great thing! Everyone loves to receive these types of texts.

Don’t keep him waiting if you like him back, send him the same in return and you’ll put a smile on his face, or send him to sleep happy.

# He asks a lot of questions

If a guy is sending you a text to ask you questions about your day or how you are, that means he is thinking about you and is desperately trying to think of something to say, so he can reach out and text you. That’s cute, right? In terms of how guys text their crush, this is a great sign to suggest he likes you, because if he didn’t care, he wouldn’t ask!

# He gives you a cute nickname

Have you noticed that he seems to call you by a nickname whenever he texts you? It could be something generic, like babe, or it could be something more imaginative. The more imaginative options are the best ones, because let’s face it, there’s nothing special about ‘babe.’ He could be texting a few other crushes and using the same name!

Despite what the name is, the fact he is calling you buy a nickname is his way of teasing you and bringing a little intimacy into your text conversations. Remember the old tale of boys pulling the pigtails of the girl he likes at school? If your nickname is there to tease you, that’s exactly what he’s doing!
