Here are 12 signs that may mean someone likes you plus 3 signs that don't mean someone likes you.

    1. He treats you differently than he treats other girls 2. Invites you to a social event, wants to be with you 3. Ends up sitting by you..stand next to you 4. Compliments you 5. social media likes 6. He is concerned when you speak with another guy 7. Rearranges his schedule to be around you 8. Acts awkward around you 9. They talk to you more 10. Other people make comments about our attraction 11. Help you out with something 12. Sticks up for you, even if u arent around. False signs: 1. Eye contact 2. Voice of God and illusion of this man being your mate 3. Not randomnly running into the guy on the street=coincidence.

    Ironically, girls find it easier to talk to you guys they do not like. So it’s very opposite. Also we are compassionate and want to encourage the underdog. Which like you said makes them think we like them.

      I do that to anyone I like. I never talk to people I don't like. When my intuition feels uncomfortable around someone, I won't talk. Even if they are Extroverts. There are certain people, I only open to. But you could be partially right.

    The one about being awkward is true. At work the girls I had no interest in I found very easy to talk to, but then the one I really liked, every time she'd ask me something I had a brain error and I couldn't speak for about 5 seconds. I think the feeling may have been mutual, however I was so unprepared for somebody to actually like me back that I never reciprocated her gestures and probably screwed myself by doing so, as she doesn't approach as much anymore probably because all her previous attempts seemed to be in vain from her perspective.

  • @thenotitfactor4871
    @thenotitfactor4871 Před 6 lety +267

    I've had a lot of guys think I like them more than a friend just because I spoke to them, or was nice to them. It's actually really annoying because I've had some of those guys ask me out on dates only to act like a wounded animal, and or get angry at me when i said no. Some of these guys are so not my type in any way shape or form, but somehow got it stuck in their heads because I smiled and said hi it must mean I'm the "one". I can talk to a dude and it doesn't mean I want him like that it means I'm a human interacting with another human and im being nice because i'm nice to everyone, even animals. In my experience any guy that is truly interested will value you, not just compliment you but show you that he values you that has nothing to do with money, looks, or success.

      I think robust debates can be healthy but, you aren't debating you are making value judgements hence the sarcastic reply. None of what u have described is anywhere near what i have experienced, and none of you assumptions about what I have or have not done, and implications of my character are true.

      How is being friendly, flirting? Smh. I didn’t see that anywhere in the Bible. The op was simply displaying the gifts of the spirit, if you or any other guy interpret there to be some romantic motive and get disappointed when you’re proven wrong, then that seems like a personal problem.

    • @Adele1024
      @Adele1024 Před 5 lety +27

      Yeah, I don’t know how to even interact with men most of the time because I’m usually thinking too much about trying to be friendly without seeming like I’m flirting. Sometimes people take a bit of kindness as a sign of romantic interest (I’ve made that mistake before as well).

  • @Summerbunny15
    @Summerbunny15 Před 5 lety +34

    I don't quite agree with the one on eye contact (not meaning anything)...It depends on the situation and the way eye contact is made...for example a person can signal to a love interest by looking in their direction just a little longer than they should, then looking away, then repeating again a little while later-I know I've done this (quite unconsciously) with someone I've liked before, and they've caught on!

  • @austinp1998
    @austinp1998 Před 3 lety +22

    I definitely agree that someone can just be really nice and it gets confused as they like someone. That’s how I am. I am nice to any girl I meet so that’s not a sign that I like them.

  • @bethanyannsimpson5861
    @bethanyannsimpson5861 Před 4 lety +53

    Interesting one with eye contact. I've had conversations with guys where they've said that they will actively make eye contact with girls that they like more than they will a girl they're not interested in. I think to them it showed their interest more, eye contact does tend to show people that you're engaged and interested in what they're saying, attentive to it. Or if it's eye contact across a room then perhaps the reason you keep catching their eye is because they're looking at you as much as you're looking at them.
    I agree it's one that shouldn't be taken as a definite "he looked at me and so he loves me" kind of sign but I don't think it's always not an indicator, if that makes sense...

      @slbellue6874 Před 5 lety +4

      Lanti Usman Thank you so much for the reminder. GOD showed me the man I am to love (I was extremely resistant to GOD's choice & HE didn't give me feelings about it. HE showed me in a way that I could not deny that it was HIM). We dated for a while, but he left the relationship. The LORD stripped me to nothing & is rebuilding me the way HE wants. I believe the LORD is also making changes in him now that we've gone our separate ways. I know these changes in me will make me into the woman my ex deserves cuz I wasn't. He wasn't for me either, but that is also what I have prayed for as long as I prayed to be the woman he deserves.
      If you would do me the honor, I would love it if you would pray for our successful GODLY reconciliation. GOD Bless you Lanti Usman.

    Great advice Mark! These definitely should be followed by both girls and guys. One of the things I've had to be careful is who I smile at or who I am friendly with because it can be misunderstood-when naturally one is nice, smiles at everyone and give eye contact this can cause issues, even at work. I sympathize with your friend's dilema. I, as a girl, make it a rule to not assume unless I get verbal confirmation from the guy that he is interested, i.e., he asked me out, he told me he does likes me, etc. Even then my mom taught me to pray for confirmation, and it works very well! Awesome video! Thank you Mark! ☺

    Amen, I like the tips of how to know if a man likes you cause it comes from a man itself.😀 Now speaking about waiting on God for a spouse and how to go about it. Your right it doesn't matter how you meet this person. What matter is that you do things in a way to great God. What that means is you don't stop being a Christian just because you met this person and then change back when you are not around this person.That is not pleasing to God. Or start changing with God just because you met this person. Believe me if this person is not for you. God would take him or her out of your ways. Just get to know each others and trust God that if it's in his plans things would fall in place. No matter how much you have to try don't give up cause God doesn't give up on us. God bless you📙

    God revealed my soulmate to me a week after I met her.
    I wasnt even attracted to her until He told me that and then I fought it for 2 months while He slowly confirmed it.

It's really good that you take time to explain things because I know all too well that sometimes we get confused or distracted and it cannot hurt that you want to make sure we are all on the same page.

    I’m a girl and I think it’s kinda cute when guys are slightly awkward. And I mean when he’s kinda shy when he talks to me.
    Also, my first ever crush crush was in the 9th grade and this guy was so sweet and cute in my art class. He would joke with me all the time and we just talked and I really thought he liked me. Well, there was another girl in that class and I noticed that he started to treat her the same way and I was an emotional mess when I came to class and he was gushing over her. I remember one day she told me she liked him too and I was so crushed. I just left it alone and I would see them even semesters later walking around school together and talking.
    I honestly do not see myself ever chasing the guy. I could see myself having a boldness and just being myself and having a conversation with a guy one day but idk. Anyway, here recently it sort of seems like a desire has arose in me to watch and think about meeting my future husband. Idk, it’s weird and I kinda thought I wouldn’t ever get married or else it just would happen way later but I’ve been seeking God more and this feeling just is weird lol. I’m going to continue to pray about it.

    That eye contact one is funny, because I used to (and probably still do) stare off into space when I'm just sitting around thinking about something. So in science class I sat at one table and a guy sat at a table across the way facing me, and he got really uncomfortable and weirded out because he thought I was staring at him. Then, I saw him waving his hand and making weird facial expressions trying to say, "Why are you staring at me," but without using words, since we were in class, and I didn't even notice until he had been doing it for awhile. Then I looked at him like, "What's your problem, can't I just look straight ahead without you thinking I like you?" That was awkward, and annoying. It didn't just happen once, either; he continuously thought I was looking at him and even approached me about it, and didn't seem to believe me when I told him I was just spacing out and he happened to be sitting directly in front of my line of view.

    • @sarag6792
      @sarag6792 Před 4 lety +9

      as a former bible school student(3 yrs) I advice you to be cautious. This is an amazing opportunity for you to seek God deeply and you will probably never have such an opportunity again to just focus on yourself and your relationship God. For sure bible college students often marry, but remember if it is from God this person will still be there for you when your studies are finished!! Often the enemy will try and stir feelings and your attention on the wrong people to distract you from recieving Gods best during that time. Also remember that in bible school everyone needs a bit of time before you see their true selves, as God is working on their hearts bringing the bad stuff out, so don't allow your thoughts to run too far ahead.. Take care xx

    I have watched a few of these types of videos and usually they are either from a secular perspective and don’t really apply to my life or they are from a “Christian” perspective and a complete joke. This was actually so solid and I really appreciate your insight! I almost didn’t click on the video because most of the videos I’ve seen of “Christian” men giving advice come across very immature, arrogant, or egotistical. But you seem like such a humble, solid guy. Thank you for sharing this and your other videos! I’m watching a bunch of them now haha

    When getting to know someone. It’s better to establish a friendship before dating. Get to know the person first and see where it goes. Also find out if the person has a solid relationship with “GOD” you can learn a lot about a person in within 10 minutes of a conversation. 🙏

I honest to God try everything possible to not be known as a "player" (trust me, I hope... ) I'm very social and very selfless so theres that lol anyway! Thanks for the tips Mark ^^

    I’m divorced twice having been married the first time for seven years and the second time for 32 years. Both my husbands claimed to be Christian but were serial cheaters. Obviously I am not a 30 something woman. I am having an extremely hard time meeting a Christian man in my age group who will put God first and lead me with a strong hand as in the song by Sanctus Real. Could you please do some videos for the 55 plus population of men and women that love being married but want to finally experience a true Christian marriage? Thank you.

    I have a sad but now funny story to share: This past year I liked someone at my church, and then started to notice he would talk to me, invite me places, call and text me if I was going to such-and-such event, like my stuff on social media, and act awkward around me, and the fact that he was treating me differently meant that he liked me too.
    Well turns out he didn't. he found out through a mutual friend how I felt about him, and he messaged me saying he just wanted to be friends and "had to be clear about it" and didn't wanna be nothing more. Ouch.
    And, found out after that he would call other people too and invite other people places too and that he was just a friendly guy lol.
    EDIT: might be relevant or not but this guy is a lead pastor at my church single and I am a leader too.

      i agree. I was hurt and embarrassed for a while (this happened last December) but now that time has passed, our relationship isn't the same like it was, but it's not as awkward as it used to be. I think I'm finally letting go and moving on and excepting we will never be, though I thought God was leading me to him.

      An update to this story:
      I have NO feelings for him now, and he’s getting married to a girl 9 years younger than him. People in our church speculated their relationship when she was 19, and he was 27. God really protected me!

  • @BiblicalWomenHaveAVoice
    @BiblicalWomenHaveAVoice Před 6 lety +7

    I'm still not sure about some of these. I had a "friend" in the church that would pay my bills, always seek me out in crowds. Other people started asking what's up with us, because they saw some kind of chemistry. With all that he didn't like me in a more of relationship kind of way. And no we didn't have relations. It still boggles my mind.
