9 Cute Signs He Sees You As Someone Special

So, you’ve met a fantastic guy and love spending time with him. He’s like your best friend, and he makes you feel good about yourself. 

Is this because he thinks of you as just a friend, or do you hold a special place in his heart 💗?

See. Figuring out where you stand in someone’s life is not easy. But you know what? Guys tend to show a few subtle signs to make it clear that you’re someone special. They treat you differently, pay more attention, and ensure you’re always smiling.

But wait! I have a whole list prepared for you. So, don’t go anywhere just yet and read on.

How to Tell If a Guy Feels You’re Special to Him? 9 Signs

1. He Wants to Know More About You.

Before explaining this one, I have some questions you can answer:

• Does he listen to you attentively when you talk?
• Does he ask follow-up questions?
• Does he remember the little details you share? 

If yes, then, my girl, you’re more than just a friend to him!

When a guy has a genuine interest in you, he tries to know you better. It’s not just about the surface-level stuff; he wants to have deeper understanding of you. He wants to know what makes you tick, what makes you happy, what grosses you out, and everything else in between about you.

2. He Confides in You.

Is the guy going beyond just casual conversation? Does he often share stuff about his hopes, dreams, and worries? Girl, you’re becoming his go-to person for sharing his thoughts and feelings!

You might also notice that he tells you things he doesn’t share with anyone else. This level of trust and openness means that he values your presence in his life and sees you as someone with whom he can connect with on a deeper level.

So, if he starts confiding in you just like that, it’s a pretty clear signal that he thinks you’re truly special. 

3. All His Friends Know About You.

I’ll share my personal story here. I once had a friend, ‘William,’ with whom I shared a beautiful bond. Very soon, our social circles merged, and we became close friends. 

Then, one day, one of his friends casually told me that William couldn’t stop talking about me whenever they hung out. He would always mention my name and share stories about our outings.

When a guy does this, he’s waving a big flag, saying, “Hey, You’re someone special in my life!”

He’s not keeping you under wraps or treating you as some casual fling. He’s proud to have you by his side and wants the whole world to know how much you mean to him. 

4. Things Aren’t Just Physical Between You.

Are your conversations with the guy more than just flirting? Does he compliment beyond “You’re so sexy” or “I love how that dress hugs your body?”

When you hold a special place in a person’s heart, your connection goes beyond just these physical attributes. It’s not just about the attraction or the chemistry (although that might be there, too), but it’s about the emotional connection. He would talk to you for hours, laugh, and share his profound thoughts without feeling awkward.

5. You Feel It in His Presence.

You know, sometimes, it’s not about what he says or does. It’s this magical feeling that surrounds you when you’re together. You meet up, and there’s this vibe, this energy that’s just electric.

You see it in his eyes when he gazes at you, that undivided attention he gives when you talk, and how he treats you. You feel cherished and special. 

It’s not just about how he makes you feel but also how he behaves with you. He may not say anything, but his body language will always speak volumes about how special you are to him. 

6. He’s Dropping Hints All the Time.

Does he often drop these hints? –

• He sends you “good morning” and “good night” texts without fail.
• There’s some light teasing or joking, but it’s all good fun.
• He invites you to family dinners or close friends’ events.
• He remembers special dates, like your birthday or the day you first met him.
• He slides into your DMs, texts you first, and keeps the conversation going.
• He calls or texts you randomly just to see how your day is going, even if there’s no specific reason for the contact.

These hints are his way of saying that you’re important to him. No guy would go an extra mile for you if you aren’t special to him.

7. He Wants to Meet You Often.

If a guy is genuinely excited about spending time with you and wants to make the most of every opportunity to be together, you have a special place in his life! 

You’ll notice that he’s always up for hanging out, and it’s not just about dates. He might ask you for a spontaneous coffee run or a last-minute movie night. Or maybe he would want to meet you after a long day at work.

Now, you might ask – “Saily, What if he only wants to spend time with me as a friend?”

Let me make it easier for you. Friends usually take turns while initiating plans and it’s a more balanced effort. But, if he sees you as a priority, he’ll often take the lead in planning and finding reasons to spend time with you.

8. He’s Protective of You.

You’re walking together on a busy street, and he instinctively positions himself on the side of the traffic.
You’re out with him late at night, and he ensures you get home safely.
Or you’re at a crowded party, and he keeps an eye on your surrounding so that no one messes with you. 

That’s just his protective nature kicking in, ensuring you’re safe and sound.

If he sees you might be in an uncomfortable situation or need help, he’s quick to step up. Also, his protective behavior isn’t sporadic; it’s consistent.

So, when a guy’s being so protective, it clearly indicates you’re special to him.

9. His Actions Match His Words.

We all know the saying, ‘Actions speak louder than words,’ right? So, if your guy is walking the talk, you mean a lot to him.

You know how some people just make huge commitments but don’t follow through? He’s not like that. 

He promises to call you after a busy day, your phone buzzes right on schedule, and it’s him. He made plans to see you on the weekend and really executes the plan. No excuses, no flakiness. 

These little moments show he’s not just talking the talk but walking the walk. He’s proving his words with actions, and that’s the kind of guy who genuinely cares about you.

What to Do if He Treats You Special, But You’re Unsure of Your Feelings?

Alright, girl, first things first, take a deep breath. It’s okay to be unsure – feelings are messy sometimes!

Now, here’s what you can do:

• Be honest with yourself. Do you like him, even a little? Or are you just flattered by the attention?
• Give it time. Don’t rush into anything. Feelings can grow, or they might fizzle out.
• Talk to him. Yes, it might be scary, but it’s better than leading him on. Tell him you appreciate his attention but need time to sort out your feelings.
• Set boundaries. If you’re not ready for a relationship, make it clear. It’s not fair to either of you to pretend.
• Trust your gut. If something feels off, listen to that feeling.

Remember, you’re not a bad person for not feeling the same way he does. Just be kind, be honest, and give yourself the space to figure things out.

What to Do If You Don’t Wanna Take Things Forward Without Being Rude?

Yeah, I get it. You just don’t wanna hurt anyone or be mean. So, how do you let him down gently if you’re not feeling the spark? Let’s talk about it.

The best way to handle this is through your actions. You don’t have to accept every invitation he extends. Take your time responding to messages. Be friendly, but don’t go out of the way for him. When he shows interest, keep your responses casual.

Most guys will pick up on these hints and understand.

But if he’s still not getting it? Well, you might need to have a conversation. It’s not easy, but it’s better than giving false hope.

When you do talk, be kind but clear. Let him know you value his friendship, but that’s where your feelings end.

Trust yourself. You can handle this with grace and kindness.
