Hey guys, this is Hanna!
This tip was requested by @amanda-spogli.
How a guy treats you says a lot about how he thinks of you. Does he see you as a potential girlfriend or simply a girl friend? Is he crushing on you or does he see you as just one of the guys? These are a few signs to separate girlfriend from girl friend.
♥ Pay attention to how he addresses you.
If he refers to you as "Dude" or "Man", or gives you a boyish nickname, it means he's comfortable around you. Being called a Dude does not mean he thinks you're a butch; it just means he thinks of you as a good friend.
♥ Ask him what he thinks about your shirt/iPod/necklace/etc.
Does he compliment with words like Sick, Killer, Sweet, or Nice, Cool, Neat? If he uses the latter, it means he cares about your feelings and wants you to appreciate the compliment.
♥ Next time you're with him, see if he challenges you to a (playful) fight.
Roughhousing is considered to be a high grade of social play and in boys, a form of special intimacy. He will most likely refuse to fight back or if he does, will retaliate as gently as possible.
♥ Sit beside him, touching your leg and shoulder to his, and see how he reacts.
For guys, invading personal space like that is considered a form of closeness only displayed by good friends. If he shows no acknowledgement it means he's comfortable with you.
♥ Pay attention to how he reacts to physical contact.
Put your arm across his shoulders or touch his arm and see what he does. If he's comfortable with you he won't mind the contact and sometimes might even return it.
♥ Next time you're talking to him, make a mental list of how many times he swears.
Guys use swear words like a second language and often use profanities excessively.
♥ Be attentive to what he talks to you about.
If the topics of your conversations usually revolves around sports, raunchy jokes, vehicles, or video games, he definitely thinks of you as one of the guys.
♥ Ask him to go to the movies or get food with you. What kind of movie does he suggest? A boyish sports movie? What kind of food place does he recommend? A diner, pizza place, or a more expensive place? Where he goes with you will tell you!
Extra tips just for you guys:
♥ If he does think of you as one of the guys, don't take it personally, just take it as a compliment.
♥ He might have feelings for you. If he does, don't get too excited.
♥ If he just likes you as a friend, think of it as a step up.
♥ If he likes you, he may ask you out; if he does not, he may not.
And that's about it. Hope you like it and I hope it helps!
xoxo
