He compliments you If a guy likes you as more than a friend, he likes things about you, and he won’t be able to stop himself from sharing what those things are. This is because he’ll want to make you feel good, and he’ll also want to make sure you know that he notices you and he likes what he sees.

If you want him to notice you’re interested in a little more than friends, start by changing your body language. Hold his gaze, stand a little closer to him, and touch him lightly when it’s appropriate. No more smacking his butt as he walks away like you’re on the football field. Sorry.

Signs He Just Wants To Be Friends

• He looks at your… feet?
• He doesn’t return physical contact. Shutterstock.
• “He treats you like one of the guys” Shutterstock.
• He’s always “busy”
• He goes on and on about his ex.
• He brings up or checks out other women.
• He thanks you for compliments, but doesn’t return them.

More like a general rule of thumb. It’s completely ok to start a conversation anytime that feels right to you. It’s also ok to initiate less often and more on the side of every 3-5 messages. The point is that no one person should be doing all the work.

If a guy is really into you, he may not even wait for you to text him. To be fair, you shouldn’t always expect a guy to text you first, but if he jumpstarts the text convo, it’s a good sign that he likes you. He may even send multiple unanswered texts.

You shouldn’t worry if a guy hasn’t texted you back in 2 days. Two days in guy-land is not a long time. You should only start worrying after two weeks. By that point, the guy has either been carried away by other circumstances in his life or he has moved on.

Is he just really busy? If you haven’t heard from him in a week, should you text him? If you haven’t heard from a guy in a week, chances are he’s just not that into and you shouldn’t text him. When a man is truly interested, it becomes very obvious and he won’t be hot-and-cold with his effort.

If you’re going to study, stop texting her. If you want to talk to her for a prolonged length of time, the only text you should send is one asking for the two of you to meet up. If that still isn’t enough, ask her if she doesn’t want get messages from you anymore. That usually does the trick.

You should, if you care about her. It’s not good to cool down for too long, either she has already cooled off and doesn’t want to be with you, or she is too heartbroken to think about you again.

Here are a few texts to send to someone you’ve lost touch with for every situation.

1. “I know it’s been a while, but I just wanted to see how you’re doing.”
2. “I heard you graduated.
3. “Miss your face!”
4. “It’s been ages, but just wanted to say hi!”
5. “Hey!
6. “Things are looking stressful out there in California.

Start with something simple

• Hey, how’ve you been?
• I haven’t seen you in ages!
• I haven’t seen/talked to you for so long!
• How long has it been since I last saw/talked to you?

Another option after the No Contact period is to send your ex a text to say “Hi” and see how she responds. For example: In a best case scenario, she might text back with something like, “Hey, where have you been? I’ve been thinking about you.”

To Sum It Up Wait until she texts you back, even if it takes an entire week. If you double text, don’t pursue any further. Let it sit and wait for her to reach out. If there is still interest, she will definitely reach out.

It’s OK to not text someone for a few days or for a week. Just get back to her in a week saying, “Hey, so how is the schoolwork going?” and she can let you know where she’s at. It doesn’t matter to me. Sometimes it takes me 3 days to respond because I forget about my phone.

Actually, there really is no fast rule to how long you should wait before texting her. After getting her number, you can text her within a few hours after your meeting/conversation, while the attention is still fresh. By the time you start dating, texting her can then become more constant.
