If a man does the following, does it mean he likes you?

Question

I feel like this guy may like me, but he's 8 years older than me and we work together, so I'm not sure if he would really consider a relationship with me.
Here's why I think he likes me:

-He always offers me a ride home from work, even if it's not raining and even though I live only a couple blocks away.

-When he sees me and we look at each other he always raises his eyebrows, which I've heard is a telltale sign of attraction.
-We had a party at work a couple nights ago and I was late. He called me and asked where I was and offered to come give me a ride.

-When I did arrive, he came and gave me a hug and said he was glad I came.

-We hung out together at the party pretty much the whole time. And he put my things in his car, pretty much saying he was going to be driving me home.

-We hung out after the party, just me and him until about 3:30 in the morning.

-I was pretty drunk but while we were hanging out I'm pretty sure he briefly touched my waist.

-When we went out to the bar after work, he bought me a drink and he opened the door for me when we were going in and when we were leaving.

-While we were hanging out he said I was "the raddest girl he's ever met"

-The next morning he asked me if I wanted to go out for breakfast and I said that would be nice.

-He paid for breakfast and he opened the door for me going in and out like he did at the bar.

-At breakfast he said, You are so polite! like he thought it was really cool.

-When he brought me home he said we should totally hang out more, and I said, yea definitely.

-He sent me a personalized Christmas text, not like a group one that he sent out to everyone.

Does it sound like he likes me and would like to date me, or he is just being friendly and nice to me because I'm sort of younger than him? If we do hang out more like we kind of planned to, would we be considered dating? How do I know, does he have to say it specifically, or is it more implied?
I am sort of inexperienced with this stuff so please, be as specific as possible.

-Besides grabbing my waist briefly, and hugging me at the party he hasn't tried to kiss me or have sex with me, and he hasn't said anything like I am really pretty (but plenty of other guys tell me I'm a very pretty girl)-

Oh, I am 25 and he is 33.

Answer 1

Yeah, that guy sounds like a nice guy to me. It definitely seems like he likes you. That's another difference between nice guys and players, the nice guys are the ones who are delighted just to be spending time with you, who do things for you (not that you should take advantage of this) rather than holding back, not calling, and so on.



Since he is eight years older, it's possible he's just being nice to a younger person. Like how an older male boss might buy me a drink just to be friendly. But if I had to pick one, I'd say I think he likes you. Only way to tell is to just be receptive to him. Be friendly, smile back at him, don't be distant, and so on, and see if he tries to take it further. I think he probably will.



Now, from your question yesterday about the other guy, I do think you're prone to ignoring bad signs in men and only focusing on the good. So I don't know if this guy you're asking about now is a drug dealer on the side, or has been locked up for beating his girlfriend, and so on. For all I know, you're only telling me the good things about him. But as long as you're being honest with yourself here and acknowledging the good as well as the bad, I'd say yeah it sounds like he's a good guy and he likes you and you should pursue it if he's still interested when you're ready (didn't we talk about you not being ready yet yesterday?).

Answer 2

If you can't read those signs that he likes you, you may as well just stop now. Seriously, this guy is doing everything short of asking you out to let you know he likes you and you're not seeing it? Seriously??? The age difference means nothing. 25 to 33 is no big deal.



I don't get why you can't see he like you, but I also don't get why this guy just doesn't ask you out. Either ask him out or put him out of his misery and tell him point blank to ask you out now or forever hold his peace.

Answer 3

HE DEFINETLY LIKES YOU AND AGE IS BUT A NUMBER! He is probably too shy to tell you you are beautiful or pretty! he is not just being friendly he is giving hints!you would be considered dating if you went out more but not boyfriend and girlfriend until he asks you out!

Answer 4

I think you already know the answer :)
