If you catch him looking at you multiple times even when you are somewhat far away, it may be his telltale sign of a crush.

Sign#2. He stares when you talk with other guys

Jealousy is an undeniable sign of a crush. If you are wondering if he likes you back, observe his reactions when you talk with another guy. 

If he likes you more than a friend, a scenario like this will ring the bell. He may just keep staring or peek occasionally at your direction until the conversation is over.

Sign#3. He asks questions, like a lot

When a guy in school is into you, he will try to interact in every possible way. Posing questions is a subtle way to connect.  

Sign#4. He walks you home

If a guy in your class offers to walk you home, he’s prioritizing you over other after-school activities. Time investment tells a lot about a person’s feelings.

Sign#5. He wants to be part of whatever you are in

If he’s not the shy type of guy, he will catch every chance to spend time with you.

Does he volunteer for the group project you are in? Has he signed up to be in the same school club as you? These are the undeniable hints that he’s secretly crushing on you.

Sign#6. He pulls your ponytail

If a guy likes you in school, he will try to grab your attention whether purposely or not.

So if your crush always light-heartedly pranks on you, he may be into you.

Sign#7. His buddies make fun of him when you are around

If he’s into you, chances are his friends know about it. Guys in school talk about their crush, just like girls do. 

If his bros always make fun of him when you show up, it’s very likely that he’s totally falling for you.

Sign#8. He tries to avoid you

How to tell if a shy guy likes you? You may catch him peek on you. But when you approach him, he will look away or leave the room almost like he’s making an escape.

That is a typical sign that a shy guy likes you. He’s not sure if he could hide his feelings. The only thing he can do is to avoid interactions. If this happens a lot, be the one to initiate a conversation. 

Sign#9. He texts you “good night”

You are on his mind and he can’t fight it.

Sign#10. He tries to help

If he’s constantly trying to help you with school or in a project, he may be crushing on you. He will make extra efforts to impress you.

For guys in school, this is one of the ways to win hearts. 

Sign#11. He notices the details

Does he compliment your hairdo? Or does he ask “if you are ok”?

One of the ways to know if a guy likes you in school is the attention he’s been giving.

If he picks up the small details of you, there’s a pretty big chance that he likes you back.

  1. I like this guy and i see him staring at me sometimes, but when i look he looks away almost like he was pretending to not notice me or something, but sometimes when he looks at me, i look at him and he smiles so i don’t know what that means. We were picked as partners in science class and when he was standing next to me, he leaned in a little without looking at me, like leaned in enough he could almost touch my shoulder with his arm. I dont know what this means.. I would really like to know if my crush likes me back. He did stop me in the hallway and ask for my Instagram and Snapchat account, and he just started making a conversation starting out as, what school did you go too before here. So i still don’t know what this means. I honestly don’t know if he likes me back or if he’s just being nice. He was acting a little weird around me. Like shacking and what ever. Also my Ex boyfriend texts me every night saying good night and it’s like Whaaaaat?? So if i could get some awnsers to this, that would be awesome

  2. This boy he is really nice,smart,funny and we have been friends since elementary school but now that we’re older I secretly have a crush I him but all his friends and all my friends now I like him.but I left him a note to ask if he like me and instead of him giving me the note his friend does.And I ask I’m the note of he can tell me the truth and ha mask YES!And ever since he just stares at me and is kind of creepy but it’s ok.But every body says hes ugly but who care what they think!❤

  3. I have this crush and I don’t really think he likes me. I see him looking at me sometimes but I don’t think much of it. We have broken the touch barrier to the bare minimum. He’s kind of rude in a way, he says that he is scared of commitment. I think I might just keep him as a friend. I don’t know what to do tbh. I need help please!!!

  4. hey i have liked this guy for a while but hes always ignoring me he looks at me sometimes idk what to do i don’t want to ask him if he likes me back and get embarrassed please help me.

  5. Well I like this guy in my English class and I saw him too many times looking at me from across the classroom( this was way before I started liking him)then I followed him on Instagram and since then we have been talking (a lot) more than most the people at school(obviously not more than my besties)than that’s when I started liking him. So now I told him I like him and he likes me back but I wasn’t really ready for a relationship so we are still friends to this day (thanks for the awesome tips)

  6. IVE
    I like a boy who i don’t know if he likes me, but his friends keep pushing him close to me and anytime i look at him he behaves he didn’t see me.
    I also have a crush and he likes me too he once kissed me on the cheek and ran

  7. There was this boy in my Spanish 2 class (he was a freshman and I was a sophomore) and we had our desks in three separate sections, A, B, and C, I sat in B and him in C. I started noticing that he kept looking in my direction but there was another girl there too so I figured he was looking at her. In the beginning of 2nd semester I started to have feelings for him and found my eyes wandering to him alot. Covid happened and we didn’t see each other for 5 months before school started again and it was kinda sad. We don’t have any classes together this year since he’s a grade below me so I only get to see him on the school bus. I’ve talked to him recently seeing if we could be friends but I think he misunderstood me cause he said he wasn’t ready to meet someone. He was avoiding eye contact and spoke really low even though he speaks where you can here him with other people and seemed a little annoyed cause I asked him to speak up. But I keep catching him looking and searching for me since we have similar routes in school and in the bus. We kept making eye contact also and I’m so confused if he likes me or not. Please help

  8. Sooo….

    Idk if anyone else does this, but I (*smirk*) treat everyone like this. I hope they don’t think I have a crush on them, b/c I don’t really like them. I just treat everyone with (*smirk #2*) respect/kindness.

  9. This boy continue to stare at me and want give me things and he is so handsome and charming he is friendly .His friends calls him Lafayette which is my last name and even he likes to share and he helps me a lot

  10. In school this guy and I are super close and I want to tell him that I like him but I’m afraid. At first I was flirting in a playful way, then noticed he was doing it back. Next we started texting, after HE asked for my number. We’re usually talkative at school and we ha gout lots, I just don’t know what to do right now. Any advice?

  11. I really like a boy but I don’t know if he likes me back. I have his number and he non stop texts me every day. When we are on call, he’s usually with his friends and they tease him saying ooh is that ur gf? Idk if I should ask him out bc I’m worried his friends will tease him further?

  24. So…
    There is a problem. A BIG FAT problem.
    I like 3 guys at my school. One is very tall with longish blonde hair and blue eyes. SERIOUSLY Ik 😳😍my type. Jk idk what my type is now since they are all sooooooooo different. I am gonna say the names just not their last names. Don’t worry. I’m not worried, I can’t picture my crush searching how to tell if a boy at school likes you back. I really can’t.😂 so yeah. Anyways the tall blonde is Larry. Larry is so funny and handsome and smart, very very smart, and nice to talk to. Fun to be around, and he actually listens to what I have to say. The other boy is Noah. He has brown hair and hazel eyes like me! Noah is, idk actually. For some reason I just really like him.
    And the other boy is Chris. Chris is very interesting. He has dark brown hair with brown eyes and he speaks Spanish. He is shorter than me, but I don’t care. If you were to meet him you would think he was just an annoying kid who likes to show off. But actually this year he is different. In P.E today I grabbed a basketball from the bin and I walked on the court and made a couple shots. Then I guess he noticed me, and stood up from the indoor bleachers where his friends were sitting and walked over to me and asked me if I wanted to (never ever asked me to do anything with him ever) play one on one with him. “Yes or no”
    Me: “uhhh sure, yeah okayy.”
    Him: “alright”
    Then we started running and dribbling the ball 🏀 a bit. After I turned around to try to make a shot, he told me I had to pass it to him, so I did. Then he explained what I needed to do and we played. When I was defending/blocking him he started looking at me. He held the eye contact for a while until he broke it and made a shot. I ran up and got the ball and dribbled it back up the court and shot it but missed. Then I grabbed the ball, thinking I had to make another shot, then he told me I had to pass it to him. But that was after I had let go of the ball. So then I got it really fast so he wouldn’t be annoyed, and then before I turned back around, I heard him call my name. Which don’t laugh. It made me smile a bit. 😬🥴 yup I know. And then when I pivoted around he smiled again and asked me to pass the ball. So then I started blocking him and we made eye contact for a long while until he didn’t see where he was going and slipped and fell on the floor. I was a little hesitant to do this next thing because my P.E teacher kept walking out of his office back and forth. But I finally got the guts. And I reached out and pulled his arm lightly to get him back up. And then he looked at me across the gym so I told him that I had made a really far shot, and he walked over to me. Then I showed him where I shot it from. And I did it again and he saw along with his friend.
    The problem with Larry is that I’m best friends with his sister and she knows I like him. The other problem is that when I went to his sister’s birthday party he didn’t say a single word to me. That’s not all. This girl with long red curly hair started singing and Larry was looking at her and she was looking at him. 🥺I don’t know what i should do now with all these feelings.

    Please will someone help me

  25. So there is this boy in my class and I think he has a crush on me because every time in our class period he always look at me and smiles at me,sometimes he get a little jealous when I talk to other guys and go with other guys he always try to talk to me and he taps on my back every time I talk with other guys and when we go to P.E he always wanna play with me and try to sit next to me.

  30. I have a crush on this guy at my school, and I have never really cared of how others see me or think of me, but when I’m around him, I feel like I have to look nice, or, what if my hair is a mess. So we have had some interactions in the past, like we danced at a dance at my school and I have given him a hug before (but it was a dare), he talks to me if I talk to him but honestly he’s such a confusing guy, and maybe he acts like this with everyone, or maybe he likes me, what do you guys think?
    Ps. I have actually told him that I like him in the past, but he said no, but since everyone was gathered around waiting for his answer at the time, my friends think he was under pressure and lied, and in reality he likes me, idk, am I being selfish,???

  31. I have a guy in my class that played chess with me today, I normally play it with another guy but he asked me to play with him today. He sometimes stares and once he borrowed my pen with an excuse that his pen didn’t work (it worked after all). I’m kind of new to the school and I’m not really sure if he likes me or not.
