10 SIGNS A BOY IS TRYING TO MAKE YOU HIS GIRLFRIEND

1. He finds excuses to talk to you frequently. If a boy is interested, he will likely try to find any excuse to chat with you throughout the day. He may ask you questions about classwork as a way to strike up a conversation or message you frequently on social media. The goal is to get to know you better and spend more time communicating.
2. He compliments you often. Someone who is attracted to you will look for ways to let you know what he finds appealing about you. Compliments about your appearance, personality, or skills are a clear sign he is attracted and wants you to feel good about yourself. Look for sincere compliments not just casual comments to gauge his level of interest.
3. He asks you thoughtful questions to get to know you on a deeper level. If a boy likes you, he won't just make small talk. He will try to have meaningful conversations by asking questions that require more than simple yes or no answers. He may ask about your interests, values, goals, family, things that are important to you, and try to find common ground and connections.
4. He touches you in a gentle, affectionate way. As comfort levels increase over time, you may notice gentle, casual touching like a hug hello/goodbye, resting his hand on your lower back when standing together, holding your hand, light touches on your arm during conversation. Of course, consent and respect are crucial, but innocent touching can demonstrate physical attraction and wanting closer intimacy in a respectful manner.
5. He makes (and keeps) plans to spend time with just you. If he wants you as his girlfriend, he will suggest activities you can enjoy together one-on-one like getting coffee, catching a movie, having a picnic in the park, going to an event, cooking dinner, etc. and make solid plans to follow through. He wants to bond with just you away from groups in lower pressure environments.
6. He checks in on you to see how you are doing when you're apart. A boy who cares will want to stay connected even when you're not together face-to-face. He may send casual texts throughout the day asking how things are going or how you're feeling. It shows he's thinking of you when you're not around physically.
7. He shares personal information about himself to let you get to know the real him. An interested boy will open up by sharing details about his hopes, dreams, insecurities, and things that really matter to gain your trust. He wants an authentic emotional connection where you both feel understood on deeper levels than surface discussions provide.
8. He makes effort to introduce you to his close friends and spend time with you as a group. Guys like to show their interest in potential girlfriends to friends to get their feedback and approval. Making introductions and spending social time together demonstrates that he sees you both as an important part of his life.
9. He maintains eye contact for longer durations when talking to express sincerity and attraction. Research shows eye contact releases oxytocin to strengthen emotional bonds between people. Someone who likes you will look deeply into your eyes during conversations instead of constantly glancing around which signals distance or lack of focus on the interaction with you.
10. He indicates he would like an exclusive, committed relationship by asking you to be his girlfriend. Of course this can happen in different ways for different personalities, but a clear “where is this going” type discussion showing desire for ongoing commitment and solidarity seals it as official. He wants you all to himself and is willing to devote to making it work long term.

If a boy displays many of these types of behaviors consistently over time, it likely means he has grown very fond of you and wants you as his girlfriend. His actions demonstrate emotional investment, care for your feelings, and priority to strengthen the connection into something formal and ongoing. As always, communicate your needs clearly too to ensure a healthy relationship if it becomes official.
