Dating can be tough. You never really know where you stand with someone, and it can be hard to tell when they’re just not that into you.
But don’t worry, because I’m here to help!
Today, I’m going to share 25 signs that he’s pretending not to like you – but in reality, he’s totally into you. So read on, and see if any of these signs sound familiar!
What Are The Signs He’s Pretending Not To Like You?
1. He knows the details of your dating life
If your guy friend is always the first to know when you break up with someone and he seems particularly interested in all the ins and outs of your romantic life, it could be because he wants to be in a relationship with you.
If he keeps asking about who you’re dating and what you’re looking for in a relationship, it might be because he wants to ensure that you’re not waiting around for him.
He might also ask about your dating personality—whether or not you like making the first move or if you’re more passive— because he is trying to figure out if that lines up with his own personality.
2. He likes to tease you
If he’s pretending not to like you, he may tease you a lot.
Teasing can be a sign that someone cares about you, and it can also be a clue that they’re feeling pretty comfortable around you.
If your guy is teasing you often, it’s probably because he likes to see you smile and laugh.
It makes him happy to make you happy and feel good.
And if he’s doing it when no one else is around, it could be even more of an indicator that he really does like you because he isn’t putting on a show for anyone else—he’s just enjoying spending time with you.
3. He envies other guys in your life
This is one of the real telltale signs he’s pretending not to like you, as it shows that he doesn’t like the thought of you with another guy.
He wants all your attention and doesn’t want to share you with any other men out there.
If your guy is going out of his way to ensure that he’s the only one in your life, he’s definitely dropping some hints that he likes you.
He will be a little jealous when other guys are around and will make this known.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, then know this: if a man likes you and wants to keep on seeing you, then he won’t want other men around when they’re with you.
4. He cares about your friendship together
If the guy you like pretends to be more interested in your friendship than he is in a romance, it’s because he really cares about your friendship.
He doesn’t want to risk losing you as his friend, and he may not want to ruin the trust that you have for him.
If you’re talking regularly, he definitely considers you a friend.
He may be concerned with becoming friends first and potentially starting something later.
If this sounds familiar, it could mean that he’s shy or scared and wants to take things slow.
It could also mean that this is the way that he likes to get to know someone or become close with them before jumping into anything else.
Maybe rushing into anything romantic isn’t his style.
5. He’s looking for compliments from you
If he’s pretending not to like you, but he actually does, this means that he’s shy, and wants to get some sort of affirmation from you before he makes a move.
He might be asking you for your opinion about him, his friends, or his family members as well.
He may ask you if his new haircut looks cool on him or ask for your opinion about his musical abilities.
He may be interested to know about your likes and dislikes in men and if the qualities you’re looking for are all there in him.
Asking these questions will give him the confidence that he needs to approach you in time and boost his self-esteem a little bit too.
6. He remembers your conversations
He remembers your conversations, not just the casual conversations you had when you first met.
No, he remembers the conversations that were made months ago.
He’s memorized the time and place they happened, no matter how forgettable they may have seemed.
He has his own copy of our stories in his mind. They’re saved there like your favorite song or movie quote.
This isn’t random memory retention either: he’s paying attention to what’s important to you.
If a guy can remember details about your preferences, ideas, jokes, goals, dreams, compliments, stories, etc, he finds everything about you important enough to remember.
If a guy likes you in this way (and is not an idiot), he will be sincere about it.
You can tell by his actions and overall behavior that he wants to make sure these details stick with him for as long as possible.
7. He helps you whenever you need it
One of the pretty surefire signs he’s pretending not to like you is his strong tendency to help you.
If he’s always there for…
