BOYS DON’T HAVE TO BE A MYSTERY. HERE, REAL GUYS GIVE YOU THE STRAIGHT SCOOP SO YOU FINALLY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT HE’S *REALLY* THINKING…
So that guy from X-Men can read minds. How nice for him. But it seems that we mortals could benefit from a skill like that to figure out exactly what our crushes are thinking. Since that’s (sadly) not an option, we got some real guys to shed light on why they do what they do. And, lucky for you, they aren’t that hard to understand after all...
HOW DO I KNOW IF HE’S REALLY INTO ME?
HIS ANSWER: I’ll flash her a flirty smile, offer up some compliments and make an effort to hang out.
DECODED: He’s not just saying you look cute in that dress for the heck of it. If he’s into you, he’ll let you know by going out of his way to talk to you or giving you a grin when you pass him in the hallway.
MAKE YOUR MOVE: Simply returning those smiles or starting up some casual chitchat may be all you need. But if he’s trying to play it cool, then it’s time to work up some nerve. Next time you catch him on his own, approach him with confidence and ask what he’s up to this weekend. It’s bold, but not knock-him-down aggressive.
AM I SENDING HIM THE RIGHT SIGNALS?
HIS ANSWER: If a girl is listening to me, laughing at my jokes and asking questions, I’ll think she might be interested.
DECODED: Coy can be cute, but you don’t have to be cryptic. Most guys prefer more straightforward signs.
