7 SiGNS He LiKeS You..

b4 i begin plagiarising.. a little opening.. thr u go.. a longer post for this particular reader to read.. but den.. i think it wil b an interesting read for u girls.. shud b for guys too.. they wil get to comment whether its true or fake.. lol.. there was supposed to b 8 signs.. i omitted one.. i find tat one nonsensical.. i got this little article from SEVENTEEN.. just stg to fill up this blog wif stg long 2 read..

1. His body language

According to d article rite.. if he likes u.. his body position will lean forward toward u.. its like as tho somebody is 'in' ur personal space tat u wanna step back.. but if he likes u n vice versa.. neither wil step back..

2. Notice his eye contact

"if he likes u, he'll get it and hold it. but if he looks away quickly, dont fret, he may be shy".. (doesnt reli make a point thr rite.. basically its telling ntg.. tat wil b IMO la.. i shal leave it to u girls to imagine tat.. n u guys to think whether tat is true o not.. lol.. its kinda depends on d personality rite? so like.. this explanation is pretty useless.. lol..)

3. He asks that question

like d "so do u hav a boyfriend" or "are u single" kinda question as casually and nonchalantly as possible.. if u answer no.. notice tat he wil feel relieved.. nx question he wil ask is "wanna hang out sometime?".. (this one.. i disagree too la.. lol.. wat if he already knew u don hav a boyfriend n he did not ask u tat question.. tat til b IMO too.. LOL..)

4. Read between the lines.

"does he playfully tease u or give u cute nicknames to get ur attention? unless the nickname's Smelly Monkey or stg, in which case, he might just b a jerk.." (i find smelly monkey very very funny... lol.. smelly monkey... HAAHHAAH.. imagine him telling her tat.. he mite just get a slap or stg.. LOL.. smelly monkey.. HAHAAH.. hey~ tats degrading monkey.. helo.. aint gud..)

5. Your name is not foreign to his friends.

"if u get a chance to meet his friends, u'll get some juicy bits from them. this may not b foolproof, but if his friends raise their eyebrows or grin sheepishly when u're being introduced, chances r he's been telling them bout u.."

6. Favours

"he doesnt mind chauffeuring u around. volunteers to accompany u to an out-of-the-way place. he takes u out for ice creams.u get d drift-he seems to b interested in anythg u r doing or want to do.. unless he happens to b that one in a million mr. super ultra nice guy" (lol.. is this necessary? lol.. wat if he is shy.. or mayb he thinks like asking too often mite b not tat nice or stg rite? den wat? he blew his chances? no la wei..)

7. He asks for another date

"even b4 d date is over. if he isnt interested in u, y wud he b so anxious to ask u out for another date?" (this one.. hmm.. lets say.. how bout he din say its a date.. den she wont know lo~ too bad for him den izit? hehhehehehee...)

a Little stg Extra~

To Get His Attention:

1. make conversation.. dont b way too spontaneous tho.. like... jumping from asking london n b4 getting more answers u jumped to korea.. yup.. stg like tat..

2. stay cool.. as in relax urself.. even tho u mite get nervous..

3. compliment him.. must mean it la..

4. send him signals..

thr u go.. stg for u to read.. finally stg longer than previous normal posts...
