He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

Does he like you?
In my humble opinion, these are some things to look for and they relate to EVERY sign, not just Libra. BUT, I'm probably older than most, so my take may be a little different. Sparrow's younger so see what she posts as well and that should give you a good idea of what the "Signs" are.
This is assuming that the guy in question is reasonably self-confidant:
1) The eyes are the mirror of the soul; When you talk to him is he clearly focused just on you and is not distracted by whatever else is going on in the room? Or do you look around and catch him staring at you? If he's been after you for a while, you may notice that when he looks at you he may do so with an expression of melancholy.
2) Does he go out of his way to hold a conversation with you? He can do this by bringing up different topics just to keep the conversation going. He may try to be funny. Sometimes they try so hard to be funny that they get "corney." Just laugh anyway, he's making an effort and that's flattering.
3) Does he notice any changes in you? If you usually go someplace regularly and then one day you don't show up, does he comment on it? Or if you change your appearance, does he notice?
4) Take a step into his "personal space" just get a little closer than usual. Does he back off or lean in towards you? Does he touch you: tap your arm, look at your hands, move a stray hair from across your face?
5) Does he move towards you at parties or when he sees you in groups? Does he position himself close to you? Then, will he initiate conversation? Or if you do, will he move over to you immediately to continue talking?
6) Does he make up silly excuses to call you? Or does he send you text messages that are uneccessary?
7) Does he "Show off" and talk about his accomplishments?
8) Does he make up little silly Nick-names for you and tease you? (Regardless of their age, I've seen a lot of men do this and it's happened to me quite often) I told someone that I liked going to operas so he started calling me "Opera Girl."
The OBVIOUS:
1) Does he call you and ask you out regularly?
2) When he takes you out, does he really make an effort to impress you? I don't mean with money, I mean by taking you to places that are meaningful. Places that are out of the ordinary and those which have required some thought or planning.
3) Is he somewhat affectionate: Does he hold your hand, touch the small of your back when he's walking with you?
4) Does he call you back when you call him?
5) Does he talk to you about his family? Goals? Dreams? Secrets?
6) Does he ask YOU questions about your family? Goals? Dreams?
7) Does he go out of his way to spend time with you?
8) When he sees you does he look happy? Excited? Does he compliment you?
Hopefully this will shine some light on all the "Does he like me" questions. They are fairly Textbook, I think.
Speaking for myself, if I didn't get these "Signs" and had to spend time killing myself over what he meant by this-or-that, I just learned to walk away and not bother. I guess it's matter of not wanting complications or headaches. If he liked me, I figured that he should just do things that are obvious so that the relationship can move on and not get bogged down with mind games.
Killing yourself over the "Chase" is just not worth it in the long run, for the man AND the woman. It's gets old and then the games have to be maintained and new twists need to be thought up. It turns in to who can out-do the other and it's just not worth it.
Naturally, some form of this "dance" makes things interesting, but not to the point of changing the direction of the relationship and complicating it.
Keep it simple, and look for someone who has this mentality.

Here you go guys....Try not to do this before a date..Bling Darling, I know YOU would Never do something like this.

Winking
Yeah Branh, everything's so cut and dry. He likes you = he tells you.
Good one.
And men don't lie to get sex.
No. It is much simpler.
Because if you told a woman the truth .... you wouldn't get any.
OK, this is useless, I'm not even getting in to this conversation.
Good one Sparrow, a little to general for me, but it's what was called for.
good point
The reason I wanted a little general advice is because of all the trainwrecks on this site. It makes me cringe and I generally feel bad for the people involved.
I just want to say Having Sex does NOT guarantee love.
Men have no problem stringing a girl along for YEARS. If he isn't including you in the big picture of his life and moving things forward ask yourself are you good for now or here to stay.
Right on Librat! Very true.
So Bran, when a man TELLS you he is interested...how do you know that he means that he is interested in you or just getting in you?????
