Methods For Figuring Out If a Guy Is Romantically Interested

Have you ever wondered if someone had a crush on you, but couldn't ask them to their face? This happens to me all the time. The most surefire way to find out is to flat out ask the person. However, I won't ever ask, because I don't want to take the chance of my heart getting broken. I prefer for the guy to make the first move. These are the methods I use to figure out whether or not he is interested.

He gets upset or jealous when you talk about other guys. The guy says things like, "He's not good for you." or "You deserve better." about every guy you say you are interested in. He might be romantically interested in you if he gets quiet when you talk about guys you think are hot if he is characteristically loud.
To experiment: When you are with him casually comment on how another guy is. Gauge his reaction. If he is unfazed he is either not into you or is hiding it. If he doesn't say anything it might be a sign he doesn't know what to say.

He finds any excuse to touch you. I don't mean sexually. It can be anything from examining a cut on your finger to his hands lingering when he passes you a pencil. He might just be a touchy feely person. So, this isn't a definite sign. Just pay attention to how much he touches people you are sure he isn't romantically inclined to and compare that to how he acts around you.

How does he maintain eye contact? This method will only be accurate if you compare how he maintains eye contact with other people. Compare how me maintains eye contact with other girls, because he just may not be comfortable around girls. If he shyly glances away a lot, but looks other girls in the eye than he is probably interested in you. If the two of you maintain an intense eye connection and when he talks to other girls it isn't usually that intense that that may be a sign.

As I said before none of these methods are surefire, but it can help gauge whether or not he interested in you. How do you tell if a guy or girl is interested in you? Do you use other methods? Did these methods work for you?

Why Freshmen Girls Shouldn't Date Upper Classmen

Before getting into a relationship with an upper classmen guy while you are a freshmen you should reconsider. You are just going to get hurt and ruin your social standings. I guarantee each of the things will be true if you date an upper class man.

He won't admit to his friends you are dating. His friends will tease him and tell him he is desperate to get some action. In high school dating someone older is always seen as "cool". Dating someone younger is just an embarrassment and an act of desperation to get some easy sex. A senior friend of mine was dating a freshman girl and when he was asked by some of his friends about it he denied the relationship. Whenever, he was around the freshman in public he refused to acknowledge her as his girlfriend. His friends would call her "the whore" and he wouldn't stand up for her, because she didn't mean anything to him.

Your journey into high school is just beginning while his is ending. As a Junior or Senior he is getting ready for college in the real world. In a few years he will be leaving and if you stay together that long (not likely) he will break your heart. As a freshman you are just getting used to high school and a bit awkward about it. He has been there for three or four years and can't wait to get out of there. You are on two completely different levels.

He will expect you to go farther sexually. Most likely he had a relationship before and has had sex. He will expect you to do it with him, because "all his other girlfriends have." You are excited about having a senior boyfriend so you give into his desires, because you don't want to lose him. You don't realize the only reason he is going out with you is for sex. And soon he will probably get bored of you and move on. On top of that you will be labeled as a whore and easy.

The Bottomline: Date a fellow freshman. It's not worth the pain you will experience.
