These are all signs that he’s not only interested but he’s trying to get your attention, whether subconsciously or intentionally.

Eye Contact
Eye contact is one of the most powerful signs someone can give about his or her interest level. Here are some signs that he may be interested in you:
• He’ll look down and away when he sees you, like he’s too shy to look directly at you.

These are all signs that he’s definitely interested in getting to know you better, so be aware of how he’s looking at you when you talk.
Conversation Topics
When you talk to a guy and he brings up topics that start from one topic and lead to another, it’s a sign he likes you. Here are some signs of this:
• He brings up topics that are purely to get to know you better, like your hobbies, interests, favorite movies etc.
• He’ll try to flatter you and make compliments about your accomplishments or about how smart or attractive you are.

• He’ll bring up topics that you have discussed before, and try to show his interest in knowing more about it.
• He’ll try to keep the conversation going, even if he’s not sure what the next topic should be.
These are all signs that he’s interested in getting to know you and wants to have a more meaningful conversation with you.
Text Messages
These days, most relationships start with a few friendly text messages, so this is also a good place to look for signs of interest. Here are some to watch out for:
