Probably the best way to know if a guy likes you is to simply ask him, but we all know that can be a challenge. So, here are a few clues to working out if he likes you as much as you like him.
Steps
Examine his body language. If he likes you, you will see that his body position will lean forward toward you.
Keep close. Ever get the feeling that somebody is "in" your personal space - so much so that you want to step back? If he likes you, and you like him, neither of you will step back.
Make eye contact. If he likes you, he'll get it and hold it. Again, this can be uncomfortable if you don't like him or vice versa.
You'll know if you feel like you have held eye contact just a fraction of a second longer than you would with anyone else, or if he looks away quickly.
Be aware of touching. He might put his hand on your arm when he laughs, or not move his leg if it happens to touch yours. This is a very good sign that he likes you.
Keep an eye out. His pupils will dilate (get bigger) if he likes you, but this is quite hard to pick up on, and you might look a bit weird looking that closely into his eyes.
Watch for him showing interest in things you like and do.
Joke freely. Does he laugh, even if you aren't funny?
Check for signs of nervousness: nervous laughter, sweaty palms, fidgeting, etc. Unless he's scared of public speaking and is about to make a presentation, it just might be that he's nervous about making an impression on someone he fancies (hopefully you).
Smile. A big smile in return probably means the feeling is mutual.
See if he always end up in the same part of the room as you.
Perhaps he keeps going out of his way to bump into you.
Pay attention to his friends. If they know he's interested in you,
they might tease him subtly when you're around, hint to you that he likes you, or even try to find out if you like him.
Tips
Generally, think about how you act when you like someone, and look for those signs in others.
He might be shy and/or introverted. In these cases, you have to be especially gentle and patient.
Make sure the male in question is heterosexual. Some homosexual men are more comfortable showing affection toward female friends because they aren't worried about the friend thinking they are romantically interested. You could easily get the wrong idea.
Warnings
Beware of friendly, outgoing guys. You might think he likes you but he might be like that with everyone and not realize how it is making you feel about him and his intentions.
If he seems comfortable talking to you about other girls, he probably does not like you in "that way." Either that, or he is trying to make you jealous, which might mean that he likes you but doesn't reflect too well on his character.

Most guys are useless at picking up hints. My GF drops them all the time and I'm still incapable of noticing them.
If you like the guy, be direct. He probably has no idea that you're interested in him, but the fact that he talks to you a lot is a good sign.

One of two things are happening here.
1) He's picking up on the hints, but doesn't want anything more than friendship.
2) He's a typical male, and is missing the hints.
The best thing you can do is come right out and ask him. Be prepared to stay friends though if that's all he wants. Remember, you will be opening up your heart to possibly be rejected.
