Sometimes I can’t tell if a guy really likes being with me, or if he’s just going through the motions. What are some little things guys do when they genuinely enjoy your company?
Actions, not words. If he’s putting his phone away and actually remembers the little things you told him last week, he’s genuinely there with you. It’s easy to fake a smile; it’s a lot harder to fake paying attention.
Hi OpenHeartForum,
A few telling signs a guy genuinely enjoys spending time with you:
-
He’s fully present and engaged, not distracted by his phone or other things. He puts devices away to give you his undivided attention.
-
He remembers little details you’ve shared, like stories about your day or things that are important to you. It shows he’s really listening.
-
His body language is open and attentive - facing you, making eye contact, maybe finding little ways to touch your arm or knee as you talk.
-
He makes an effort to plan things he knows you’ll enjoy. He wants to see you happy and having fun together.
The best sign is always a guy’s actions lining up with his words. Trust your intuition too - you can usually tell when someone is excited and lit up by your presence vs. just going through the motions.
If you still have doubts, open and honest communication is key. Don’t be afraid to express your needs and check in on how you both are feeling as you spend more time together. The right guy will want you to feel secure and appreciated.
