18 Things He's Programmed To Do When He's Into You

He likes me, he likes me not…

Is he interested? You're into a guy, but you're trying to figure out if he feels the same way. Sometimes you feel like you know, and sometimes you're not sure. It's driving you crazy. You think he's going to ask you out on a date soon because you caught him staring at you a couple of times or he's always flirting with you. Every time he does something that makes you wonder if he's into you, you ask yourself and your friends questions like, “What does it mean when he opens the car door for me?” and “Why did he give me his jacket when he looks cold wearing just a sweater?”

When he still hasn't made a move on you, you think he was just being nice. Hold that thought: it's possible that he's not ready to tell you how he feels about you just yet. He's probably nervous, and maybe he's also trying to figure out if you like him back.

Here's the list of 18 things he's programmed to do when he's into you. If he does most of these things, then you have your answer. He's into you, girl!

18 He Walks On The Outside Of The Sidewalk To Protect You

It's very thoughtful of him to walk on the outside of the sidewalk when you're with him. He does it because he wants to protect you. Sometimes there are puddles on the road, and he doesn't want you to get splashed when cars drive by. It's another way to keep you away from the traffic. There are also some creeps, so he wants to block them from trying to talk to you or even grab you. You might be surprised by the gesture if it happened to you for the first time. Not many men know about this unwritten rule, and that's fine. He's definitely a keeper when he makes sure you walk on the inside though. You get an idea of what it would be like in a relationship with him.

17 He Unconsciously Mirrors Your Words And Moves

It's a sign that he's into you when he unconsciously mirrors your words and moves. When you cross your arms, he crosses his arms. When you lean your head to your right, he leans his head to his right. When you take a sip of your drink, he takes a sip of his drink. You might not notice it, but when you do, you might think he's mocking you. He's not. He might not even notice what he's doing. You can ask him why he's copying you, but he won't have the answer. It's not just the moves that he mirrors. It could happen with words, too. If you keep using the same word in every sentence, then there's a chance that he might end up using that word, too.

16 He Forgets About His Phone And Everyone Else When You're Around

It's hard to put your phone away when you have all these social media apps on your phone: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat. You can literally spend all day talking to your friends, reading about celebrities online, watching shows on Netflix, liking Instagram pictures, etc. But when you're around, he only wants to spend time with you. He drops everything he was doing like talking with his friends or playing with his phone. He walks over to you to initiate a conversation. When he's talking with you, he forgets about his phone and everyone else in the room. It's like they don't exist to him. He doesn't turn around to see where his friends are or who's standing next to him. He only has eyes for you. You have his full attention. Isn't it cute?

It just makes him happy that you're with him because he obviously likes you. He gets sad when it's time for you to leave. He tries to delay the moment to say goodbye because he doesn't want you to go just yet. He wonders if he should ask you when he'll get to see you again or invite you to come out this weekend with him and his friends, and she could bring her friends, too.

14 He Quickly Looks Away When You Catch Him Staring At You

It's an obvious sign that he's into you when he quickly looks away when you catch him staring at you. He likes to look at you when you're not looking because he's shy to make eye contact with you, and he's not sure what to do when you lock eyes with him. He doesn't want you to think he's a creep when you constantly catch him looking at you, so he looks away quickly. Unfortunately, it's not quick enough sometimes. Anyway - when he looks at you, he's trying to build up the courage to talk to you. He thinks about approaching you, but then he backs down. It happens for a couple more times. It could be his lack of confidence. He fears he might make a fool of himself like trip on his way over to you.

He likes you, and he wants to see if you feel the same. Apparently, he feels less rejected with hypothetical questions.
