It's been driving me crazy! How do you know if a guy likes you? Obviously they act different than girls do. What are the signs that he thinks you're cute? please, could you give me answers that have to do with 8th graders...like people my age?

How to tell if he likes you
(and if he's flirting with you in his special own guy-way).
A lot depends on the type of guy and his individual personality.
Shy Guys
These are tough to crack sometimes...
He'll look at you, until you turn around, then boom, he's looking the other way.
You may 'feel' like he's watching you - but he's hard to catch at it
He may do something physical - like grab you in a play way, poke you, play with your hair...
(Remember when you were really young and the guy you liked punched you or tackled you?)
He may be working really hard to pay attention to you, but doesn't quite know how...
He may ask a friend of yours about you - he'll say it's just for "friend of mine" that wants to know about you.
He talks to everybody else - but when you're around he turns silent, or chokes up.
You seem to accidentally bump into him a lot of different places.
He may not say a word to you, but he shows up in the same line, at the same movie, etc.
He'll give you a little smile from across the room, but if you get near, he won't look up.
Basically - the BIG clue is that his behavior changes when you're around (compared to when he's around his buds or other girls).
DEAD Giveaway - when you talk to him he turns red.
(Bingo - you can pack that puppy up and take him home...)
These are some of the more subtle clues - keep your eyes open - you may have more guys flirting with you than you realize!!!
He remembers little things you mention in casual conversation.
It may take you by surprise. You might have been talking when he was around and two weeks later he'll say, "Well, you like orange fizz..."
His voice changes when he talks to you in a group. He may say "Hey." to everyone with you, but the "Hey." to you is a little different.
His voice gets softer when the two of you talk.
Sometimes he stares straight into your eyes.
His eyes get 'soft' when he looks at you. They change slightly or get relaxed around the edges. It's subtle, but you can tell if you watch...
(You may already be aware of it at a subconscious level - that's what made you start wondering if he likes you...)
When he's near you or talking with you, his eyes travel in a little circle around your face and land back on your eyes. (Like he's looking at your whole face - then back to your eyes.)
He watches your lips. (Dead give away.)
His friends start asking you questions - if you haven't met him yet - they may ask what your name is. Or may ask you what you think about 'him.'
If his friends are paying attention to you after he's been staring at you - it can mean that he's been talking about you.
He tells you that you smell nice...
(No hidden meaning here - it's a good thing.)
He might act weird around you or seem very nervous. His behavior may just plain change when you're around.
If he's normally quiet, he may get louder, or vice versa. It's the difference in behavior that's the clue.

OR
STEP 1: Sometimes seeing someone you have a crush on results in telltale physiological signs. Does the person in question blush when you look at him or her? His or her sympathetic nervous system is probably going into overdrive. Does he or she have trouble speaking, using jumbled words when talking to you? STEP 2: See if the person in question mirrors your motions: When you lean back, he or she leans back; when you put your elbows on the table, he or she does the same. STEP 3: Note whether this person sits or stands in the open position - that is, facing you with arms uncrossed. In addition, a woman tends to cross her legs in a man's direction. STEP 4: Does he or she move closer to you and/or touch you subtly, such as with a pat of your hand or a touch of your cheek? STEP 5: Other elements of body language include frequent eye contact, holding your gaze and looking down before looking away, energetic speech coupled with open hands, and flashing palms. STEP 6: Does the person you're wondering about just plain smile at you a lot?

well.....i'm not exactly an 8th grader (9th) but i was last year so i guess i can help. it is usually pretty obvious. we tend to throw subtle hints at you and if that doesn't work we either ask or move on. that is the simple version but i gets much more complicated than that.

If you feel cute (you are only as pretty as you feel & you are only as cute as you feel), then he may think you are cute. But if you are not cute, and think you are cute, then you may just be in denial.
If you flirt with each other, and when you interact with each other, he smiles and it feels really good to smile back, he may think you are cute.
But try to think less about being cute, and more about being attractive, beautiful, or liked. Cute only works for so long. Being cute is good while you are young, but being beautiful and attractive are ageless.

i can usually tell when a guy likes me by seeing how he acts around other people. if you notice that he is either more outgoing (or more shy, depending on his personality) around you and only you, then you know he likes you. also, if there is a certain person you have your eye on, don't be afraid to take a chance and tell him you like him! what's the worst that can happen?

yeah but how do you just ask someone if they like you.. that's weird. i never could get over that. like in middle school i'd always just be like "GO ASK HIM IF HE LIKES ME." yeah. lol mostly i think if you flirt with him he'll be all over you. especially if he likes you. :D.
