Six ways you can tell if someone is genuinely interested in you — mysinglefriend blog

Working out if someone you are dating is genuinely interested in a long term relationship can be difficult. However, there are certain things to watch for that will let you know if they’re thinking about taking things further, whether it’s very early days or you’ve been seeing each other for a while. Here’s how to tell…

THEY SEND THE FIRST MESSAGE ONLINE

This one is very clear. If someone messages you first, they’re interested enough to take the initiative and drop you a line.

THEY REPLY IN GOOD TIME

Someone who replies within minutes or a couple of hours, rather than days or weeks, is interested in you. Don’t expect instant replies though, as you want any potential partner to have a life and interests outside of you.

THEY TALK BUT ALLOW YOU TIME TO TALK TOO

If someone either hogs the conversation or barely says a word, they don’t have much genuine interest in you. A person who genuinely wants to get to know you will listen to what you have to say whilst also opening up about themselves.

THEY PROLONG YOUR DATE

If someone suggests you get dessert or coffee, rather than rushing off at the first opportunity, they want to spend more time with you.

THEY ASK YOU out again

The clearest indication of whether someone likes you or not is whether they want to see you again. However, some people might feel a bit shy and ask you in an obtuse way, so make sure you’re switched on enough to realise when they’re doing so.

THEY MAKE CASUAL REFERENCES TO THE FUTURE

Talking about things you might do together in the future is a great sign that someone is looking at a future with you. For example, if you mention a festival and they say ‘We should go together’ you can be sure they’re into you.
