While flirting in person is pretty obvious, when you have to do it online, without being able to physically see the other person, it may be more difficult to interpret their behavior. To find out if a guy likes you on the Internet, analyze how he communicates through messages and interacts using social networks and instant messaging applications. If you have met him on a dating site, you can understand him by proposing to see you in order to deepen your knowledge. From the way he reacts you will have a clearer idea of his intentions.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Send Online Messages
Step 1. Notice if he sends you messages
An interested guy has no problem talking and texting with the person he likes. For example, he might do this often even when you're not online. You may find that you spend a lot of time conversing virtually throughout the day and even into the evening. This behavior indicates that he likes to chat with you and that he arranges his time to talk to you.
Step 2. See if he replies to your messages right away
If you write him something and he takes an hour to reply when you see he's online, it almost certainly means he's just doing it out of politeness. On the contrary, if he doesn't waste time and always takes the opportunity to start a conversation, chances are he likes you.
Similarly, if he is interested, he will communicate with you as soon as you log into Facebook Messenger or other instant messaging applications
Step 3. Analyze the content of your messages
Some guys only respond out of courtesy. In this case, they probably reply with short, often monosyllabic messages, and rarely try to get involved in important conversations. Otherwise, if they are interested, they try to get to know their virtual interlocutor, asking him for advice and opinions or talking about some episode that happened during the day.
If he is attracted to you he may ask you, "How was your day?" or "What are you doing next weekend?". This kind of question indicates that he wants to know how your daily life goes
Step 4. Notice the signs of courtship
Guys often don't hesitate to flirt when they want a woman. Clues to collect online include compliments, jokes, the use of exclamation marks, emoticons or bitmojis (personalized avatars in the form of funny cartoons).
It might say, "Nice your profile picture."
Step 5. Don't rush to conclusions from a conversation
Never base all your hopes (or fears) on a couple of virtual conversations. Many people leave them hanging, whether they have time to chat or not. A laconic answer might just indicate that he is busy or that something is bothering him.
However, if it is a frequent behavior, it is likely that he is not interested in you
Method 2 of 3: Interacting Through Social Networks
Step 1. Notice if it interacts through what you post
Like any of your Facebook status updates and any pictures you share on Instagram? Better yet, do you often comment on your posts? They could be indications of his desire to connect with you and that he likes you.
- See if he also comments on other people's posts. If it happens often, it is likely that it is just a user who is thirsty for social networks.
- However, if you rarely like or comment on other posted items, it may be that he has feelings for you.
Step 2. Reply to his comments
Reply to him if he has publicly commented on a photo or post you posted. If he is eager to start a conversation in this way, he is most likely interested or at least likes to communicate with you.
- For example, he could write: "This is a great photo! Where did you take it?".
- In this case, try to answer: "I was in Paris last week. A wonderful city! Have you ever been there?".
Step 3. Notice if he comments on old photos or publications
If a guy you just met starts liking or commenting on old photos of you, it's a sign that he's interested in you. It means that he has taken the time to browse the pictures published in the past years because he wants to know you better or just delight in looking at them!
Step 4. Check if he has added you on other social networks
When a guy likes you, he wants to keep in touch with you and follow you on different social networks. For example, it could add you on Facebook and Snapchat and start following you on Twitter and Instagram.
If he has added you, chances are he wants to read what you post, look at photos and selfies in an effort to get to know you better
Method 3 of 3: Use a Dating Site
Step 1. See if he wants to know more about your account
If a guy they met online is interested in you, they almost certainly want to get to know you better. Does he ask questions about your life? He might like you if he responds and gets involved in the conversation.
- In these cases, he is likely to ask you what you do, what you do in your free time and what your family situation is, in an attempt to get to know yourself better. Curiosity about your life could be a sign of interest.
- That said, if she asks very personal but minor questions - for example she asks you for your address or if you are alone in the house - it may be motivated by other reasons.
Step 2. See if he wants to meet you in person
If he invites you for coffee or to go out together, chances are he likes you and wants to learn more. However, some guys are quite shy and reserved and can't take this kind of initiative. If you are interested, do not hesitate to come forward and ask him: "Would you like to go for a drink together?". If he responds right away and seems enthusiastic about your proposal, surely you are not indifferent to him.
Alternatively, he might say: "Sure, I just have to get organized with commitments." If he doesn't pick up on this again, he's probably not interested
Step 3. Be direct and ask him if he likes you
After some time, you may get tired of seeing the signs of potential interest on your part. You can always try to be more explicit and ask him candidly what he feels about you. You could say to him: "I seem to have established a good understanding with you and I am beginning to feel something. Is it like that for you too?". This will get you straight to the point and stop wondering about his feelings and intentions.
Step 4. Be careful if you close your profile on the dating site
Once you've met and dated a few times, you may wonder if your relationship actually has a future. One way to check if he likes you is to see if he has deleted his profile on the dating site. This decision could indicate that he has met an important person (you) and that he is not interested in meeting others.
Advice
- As a last resort, you can search the Internet for a questionnaire that will help you figure out if the guy you're chatting with likes you.
- Some boys are very sociable and playful and do not give the impression of courting. Simply flirting isn't enough to determine if they're interested.
Warnings
- If he asks you something that makes you uncomfortable, tell him: "I don't want to talk about it" or "Can we talk about something else?". If he really likes you, he'll respect your decision not to share certain information.
- If you need to meet someone you have known virtually, choose a popular public place. While it's common to date after meeting on the Internet, there's always the risk of running into someone you don't expect. It is always best to take proper precautions.
- If you are under the age of 18, have a parent or guardian monitor your online interactions. Numerous malicious people surf the Internet, so it is always better to protect their safety and interact by mutual agreement with virtual interlocutors.
