Roses are red, violets are blue; "I may, or may not like you"? Sad, but true, it can be confusing when you don't know if a guy likes you or not, especially during Valentine's Day. For some ladies this is the issue they have to face as they have to sit and wonder if that guy really likes them or just sees them as "friends". Since Valentine's Day is approaching, this is the perfect time to once and for all clear the air and figure out what is going on. Unfortunately, most people aren't psychics, so it can be hard when you get mixed messages. Well, take some time out and take a look at what some of the fellas here at Kean University had to say about what they do when they really like a girl.
Uch Ayononyo, senior Political Science major, says, "After awhile I get to know a girl or find a way to get into conversation. I will say something to make her laugh, I won't initially ask for a number. If I like a girl she usually won't know, but there are times when it's obvious. The average guy will spend more time with a girl if he likes her".
Michael Sova, senior English Writing-Option major, focuses on the "little" things when it comes to showing someone he likes them. No big displays and giant teddy bears for him, "I'm not really the average guy. The little things matter more to me, so I probably show that more often".
Daniel Snyder, junior Marketing major, reveals "When I like a girl, I act funnier than usual. The inner comic in me comes out. It is not intentional, nor is it an attempt to court them. It's almost an unconscious action. I want to make her happy, and I feel that laughter is the best way to do so".
Luis Posada, sophomore English, Pre-Law major, says that for him things were different, "I never acted like anything until I met HER, you just don't know what to do, you just do what feels right".
Lewis Mancine, junior Secondary English Education major, is always "himself" when he is around a girl he likes. "I try not to be fake around them. I hate when guys use lines, they would never talk like that. I grew up with two older sisters and they gave me advice and told me to be real and honest".
James Charneco, sophomore Accounting major, says "Girls that I may like cause me to act in strange ways. Usually, I would want to say something sweet that would put a smile on her face. Once I succeed with that (with my heart beating 1000 pumps per second) I would start to get to know her as an individual, rather than only looks. To me the mind and soul are important qualities in a girl that I like. Showing my interest beyond their physical appearance may show them I am interested in them for who they are, rather than what others may see."
So, as you can see all guys aren't the same and do different things when they really like a girl. Some are shy, some are funny and others are more direct, but most importantly, there is almost always a sign. Guys, don't feel left out, if you want to find out what girls do when they like you, read She Said: When I Get to Know a Guy.
