Do you have a guy that you think might like you but you're just not sure? Maybe you're having trouble telling if your new boyfriend is really into the relationship. No matter what your problem is, wikiHow is here to help! With a little emotional detective work, you can find out if your man is really yours or only on temporary loan. Just get started with Step 1 below.

1.Look at how he acts towards you vs others.
Is he paying way more attention to you than other girls (or even his own friends)? Is he nicer or does he try to touch you more? These may be signs that he's interested in you.
2.Check the body language.
Notice how, when, and how often he touches you. A touch to the cheek or neck is a dead giveaway, but a touch to the hand, arm, or lower back can also be a sign that he wants to get closer. You should also pay attention for the thumb rub. If he rubs his thumb softly against your skin while he touches you, that is a very good sign.

3.Notice if he takes an interest in your life.
Does he ask about your hobbies? Follow up on things you told him you were going to do? Does he make an effort to get to know your friends? Does he try to learn about your family or where you grew up? These are signs that he's interested in you.
4.Do a gift-check.
If a guy is giving you little gifts, especially ones he made himself, that is a clear sign that he's interested. If the gift is very tailored to you or to something you did together, that's the real clue.

5.Test the waters.
When in doubt, the best idea is to remove the ambiguity and test the waters a bit. Ask him to be your date to a thing you have to go to or just invite him to spend some alone time together doing something date-like. If he says no, it doesn't bode well. If he really likes you he'll just about bend Heaven and Earth to spend time together.
