He stares at you but looks away when your eyes meet<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On and off eye contact instances are common signs he is confused about his feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a man is into you, it&rsquo;s normal for him to look at you whenever you&rsquo;re around. But he might not feel comfortable letting you know his true <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/what-does-it-mean-to-have-feelings-for-someone\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feelings for you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hence you might catch him looking at you a little too often, but he looks away as soon as you look at him.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. He might get close to you and pull away suddenly<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tread carefully when you notice these signs he is confused about his feelings. This could actually be one of the signs he changed his mind about you recently.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you two are around each other, he&rsquo;ll find excuses to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/emotional-intimacy\/having-trouble-feeling-close-and-connected-find-out-what-to-do-about-it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">get close to you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You two might even get too caught up in the moment that he might lean towards you to kiss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that&rsquo;s where he&rsquo;ll draw the line when he&rsquo;s catching feelings for you but isn&rsquo;t ready to move it forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. He is all over your social media<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isn&rsquo;t this the safest option to find out about someone&rsquo;s likes and dislikes these days? Social media can clear out the signs he is confused about his feelings if you pay attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though he wants to play it cool and acts like he isn&rsquo;t paying that much attention to you, a guy will go through all your social media posts when he likes you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He might not like or comment on your posts because he doesn&rsquo;t want you to know that he&rsquo;s catching feelings for you. Or he might just send heart, wink, or blushing emojis to let you feel their presence without being too obvious.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. His body language says that he&rsquo;s into you, but he doesn&rsquo;t admit it<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter how many signs he is confused about his feelings are there and how well he tries to hide them, his body language will reveal his true feelings. Is he unusually nervous when you two are alone?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If he keeps fixing his hair, touches his face a lot, and gets fidgety, it&rsquo;s because he likes you. Read the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/what-your-body-language-says-about-your-relationship\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">male body language<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that he wants you, and there, you&rsquo;ll have the answer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. He goes hot and cold all the time<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a man is confused about his feelings and is showing signs he is confused about his feelings, his behavior might be erratic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He might make you<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/physical-intimacy\/what-makes-a-man-desire-a-woman-sexually\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feel desired<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and give you all his attention during the &lsquo;hot&rsquo; phase. Then he may pull away just like that and act cold when he feels like he&rsquo;s catching feelings for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-67272\" src=\"https:\/\/image.marriage.com\/advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/he-seems-protective-of-you.jpg\" alt=\"Young Man Protects His Girlfriend and Hugs\" width=\"804\" height=\"350\"><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. He seems protective of you<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though he may not admit it if asked, a guy will protect you if he likes you. No matter if you&rsquo;re around or not, he&rsquo;ll defend your name in a heartbeat. He&rsquo;ll try to make sure you get home safe if it&rsquo;s late at night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/saying-thank-you-will-enhance-your-relationship-happiness\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">thank him<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for being there for you. He may tell you that it&rsquo;s nothing, and he&rsquo;d do the same for anybody. He can&rsquo;t help protect you because he likes you, but since he&rsquo;s confused in love, he may act like he doesn&rsquo;t care that much.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. He balances a compliment with a tease<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He might stare at you and say that you look incredible when you catch him staring. But he doesn&rsquo;t want to make his feelings obvious, so he&rsquo;ll instantly crack a joke or start teasing you.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He doesn&rsquo;t mean to offend you in any way, though.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Your conversations just suddenly die<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you often get to a point when there are signs he wants to confess his feelings, but nothing happens?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be it texting or talking in person, if a guy suddenly starts<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.momjunction.com\/articles\/why-guys-act-distant-when-they-like-you_00696456\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">acting distant<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the middle of a great conversation, it may be one of the signs he is fighting his feelings for you. He doesn&rsquo;t want to let you know how he genuinely feels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, he just stops texting or talking the moment his confusion hits. He may casually text you after a few hours and go silent once you reply. It might make you wonder if he has<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/being-ghosted-in-a-relationship\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ghosted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you. Then he&rsquo;d come back and start acting like he never really left abruptly.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9. He acts differently when you&rsquo;re in a group setting<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a man is confused about what he wants in a relationship, he may act weirdly different with other people around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be your first sign if you are looking for an answer to how to tell if a guy is confused about his feelings for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He might be flirting with you or showing<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/physical-signs-a-woman-is-interested-in-you\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">signs of attraction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when you two are alone. But the moment there are other people around, he may seem like a different person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If he treats you like he&rsquo;s treating all the other girls there, it&rsquo;s one of the signs he is fighting his feelings for you.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>10. He finds ways to spend time together but doesn&rsquo;t ask you out on a date<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a man is confused about what he wants but still wants to see you and spend time with you, he might invite you to hang out with his friends or go to the movies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But since he is confused about his feelings, he might not ask you out for a drink or take you to watch a movie alone.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>11. He denies it when others talk about the chemistry you two have<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should be careful here as it can be one of the signs he has feelings for another woman or maybe no feelings at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you two have<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/what-is-relationship-chemistry-and-how-important-is-it\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">intense chemistry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it&rsquo;s only natural that people around you will be able to feel that. But he won&rsquo;t admit that and will laugh it off if anyone ever mentions that you two would make a great couple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They&rsquo;ll get uncomfortable if the subject comes up and says that you&rsquo;re just friends\/colleagues, even though he frequently shows signs he is secretly<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/quizzes\/is-he-attracted-to-me\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">attracted to you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>12. He gets jealous but tries to hide it<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&rsquo;re asking yourself, &lsquo;How do I know if a guy likes me&rsquo; or &lsquo;Does he have feelings for me,&rsquo; see how a guy reacts when you talk about another guy you like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If he gets<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/how-to-stop-being-jealous-in-your-relationship\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">jealous<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and gives you reasons why you shouldn&rsquo;t be with that person, it might be because he secretly wants you for himself.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you aren&rsquo;t sure about his jealousy, watch this helpful video to gain more insight:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VDx2rgEtwbI?si=7O7fpDwHEBaSfdbX\" width=\"804\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">&#65279;<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><b>13.

Pay attention and see if he says and does the same thing or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He might tell you that you&rsquo;re the prettiest girl alive and any guy would be lucky to have you, but he won&rsquo;t<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/how-to-ask-a-girl-to-be-your-valentine\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ask you out on a date<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and act indifferent the next day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>14. He wants you to notice him but doesn&rsquo;t seem to know what to do after that<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He tries his best to be attractive around you and dresses well to impress you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He might tell you things like how much he works out and the new car he&rsquo;s got. While it might come off as bragging, he&rsquo;s just trying to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/relationship\/showing-attention-to-your-spouse\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">get your attention<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he gets the attention, he doesn&rsquo;t know how to proceed further, and the conversation dies suddenly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>15. He doesn&rsquo;t seem to pay attention but remembers every little thing about you<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though he shows so many signs that he is confused about his feelings and tries to hide them by acting aloof, he does pay attention to whatever you say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He tends to remember anything from the way you like your coffee to how your childhood was.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>16.

He isn&rsquo;t a cat person but seems smitten like a kitten about your cat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&rsquo;s because he secretly likes you but doesn&rsquo;t want to let you know yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>17.
