7 Texting Behavior Of Guys When They Are Interested In You

When it comes to texting, it can be such a challenge to figure out how someone really feels. All you’re reading is literally text. You don’t get to see their faces or hear their voices, so you don’t have a lot to work with when figuring out how they actually feel. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn to decode the texting behavior of guys or grasp a sense of how they feel for you.

I get it’s not easy, especially when you have feelings for them. When you like someone, everything they say gets turned into code. When there aren’t any emotions, reading a guy’s text is easy. Those pesky emotions, always getting in the way!

Texting with a guy you like can bring up a lot of anxiety and deep insecurity, preventing you from seeing what’s actually going on. That’s why sometimes we’ll end up chasing a guy who doesn’t like us, for example. It’s hard to see and accept the reality of what’s going on.

# He responds within a decent time

I remember getting upset when a guy I liked wouldn’t reply within five minutes. But listen, that’s unreasonable on my side. You don’t know what’s going on in his life. Maybe he works or goes to school, so he isn’t able to reply to you within thirty seconds. If he’s replying to you six hours later almost all the time, that’s not a good sign. Everyone today has their phone glued to their hip.

# He asks you questions

If a guy likes you, he’ll try to get to know you even through text messages. In general, guys aren’t into talking over text; they’d rather hang out in person.

So, if a guy is texting you and trying to get to know you, he’s showing interest. When it comes to texting, men and women are completely different. Women can text and have long conversations via text, whereas men aren’t into it as much.

# He’s direct with what he wants

Over text, some guys are more relaxed and subtle, where others are more direct with what they want. If the guy you’re texting is telling you he wants to take you out on a date; then you already know where he stands with you. It’s clear he’s interested in you. But don’t think that if he isn’t direct, it means he’s not into you. Every guy is different; some are more comfortable saying what they want than others.

# He’s interested in what you’re doing

Some guys will text you, “what’s up?,” but they don’t really seem interested in your reply. But, if they’re into you, they’ll use your answer as a way to learn more about you.

Also, they’ll try to see where they can fit themselves in and get some time alone with you. If the conversation ends up with them seeing if you’re available to hang out, they like you.

# He’s more attentive

When a guy likes you, he’s going to pay more attention to you. He’ll remember the small things you’ve told. For example, if you told him you have an exam coming up, he’ll message you on the exam day and wish you luck. These are small things but show that he’s paying attention to you.

# He asks you to hang out

Guys will really only text a girl they’re interested in with the goal of asking her out and seeing her in person. They don’t want to waste their time texting; they want to take it to the next level. If he’s interested in you, he’s not only going to text you endlessly. His messages are going to end up with a date.

# He keeps the conversation going

Even when you’re texting with a guy you like, it’s okay to let the conversation end. Let it take its natural course. Now, some guys, even if they like you, will let the conversation end because they don’t want to look needy. But others will try to keep the conversation going until they reach their goal, which is to ask you out.
