How to Tell If Someone Likes You: 12 Signs a Guy/Girl Likes You More Than a Friend 

Friendly reminder: With God there are no coincidences.

my opinion is to secretly pray and wait in God. I'm sure God will let you feel in the spirit if the person is right for you...

Some people are just too friendly and can send wrong signal to lots of girls. :-)

my life is full of emptiness pray for me

One word gals and gents: DISCERNMENT. So pray for wisdom and discernment. Ask a specific sign from God and of that guy or girl has it, you know he or she is God sent for you.

That feeling, when you realized that your actually doing the 12 signs he gave.. 😂

God told me that my husband was my soul mate and that it will never work out with anyone else but him. And we have been happily married for 9 years.

1. He treats you differently than he treats other girls 2. Invites you to a social event, wants to be with you 3. Ends up sitting by you..stand next to you 4. Compliments you 5. social media likes 6. He is concerned when you speak with another guy 7. Rearranges his schedule to be around you 8. Acts awkward around you 9. They talk to you more 10. Other people make comments about our attraction 11. Help you out with something 12. Sticks up for you, even if u arent around. False signs: 1. Eye contact 2. Voice of God and illusion of this man being your mate 3. Not randomnly running into the guy on the street=coincidence.

1. The man treat you differently 2. Invites you somewhere 3. He is seating by you 4. He compliments you 5. He is engaging in social media with you He gives extra attention to you 6. He looks concerned when talking to another man 7. He rearranges his schedule for you 8. Acts bizarre 9. Talk to you more 10. Other people notice the chemistry 11. Eager to show their affection and help you 12. He sticks out for you

Ironically, girls find it easier to talk to you guys they do not like. So it’s very opposite. Also we are compassionate and want to encourage the underdog. Which like you said makes them think we like them.

I've had a lot of guys think I like them more than a friend just because I spoke to them, or was nice to them. It's actually really annoying because I've had some of those guys ask me out on dates only to act like a wounded animal, and or get angry at me when i said no. Some of these guys are so not my type in any way shape or form, but somehow got it stuck in their heads because I smiled and said hi it must mean I'm the "one". I can talk to a dude and it doesn't mean I want him like that it means I'm a human interacting with another human and im being nice because i'm nice to everyone, even animals. In my experience any guy that is truly interested will value you, not just compliment you but show you that he values you that has nothing to do with money, looks, or success.

The one about being awkward is true. At work the girls I had no interest in I found very easy to talk to, but then the one I really liked, every time she'd ask me something I had a brain error and I couldn't speak for about 5 seconds. I think the feeling may have been mutual, however I was so unprepared for somebody to actually like me back that I never reciprocated her gestures and probably screwed myself by doing so, as she doesn't approach as much anymore probably because all her previous attempts seemed to be in vain from her perspective.

Plus I have to get right with God frist

Practical, honest & straight to the point! Mark, your videos are turning into a 'daily view' for me, no joke!

I definitely agree that someone can just be really nice and it gets confused as they like someone. That’s how I am. I am nice to any girl I meet so that’s not a sign that I like them.

Best advice is don't play games. You don't have to be too forward, but it's ok to let them know you like them.

I don't quite agree with the one on eye contact (not meaning anything)...It depends on the situation and the way eye contact is made...for example a person can signal to a love interest by looking in their direction just a little longer than they should, then looking away, then repeating again a little while later-I know I've done this (quite unconsciously) with someone I've liked before, and they've caught on!

Great advice Mark! These definitely should be followed by both girls and guys. One of the things I've had to be careful is who I smile at or who I am friendly with because it can be misunderstood-when naturally one is nice, smiles at everyone and give eye contact this can cause issues, even at work. I sympathize with your friend's dilema. I, as a girl, make it a rule to not assume unless I get verbal confirmation from the guy that he is interested, i.e., he asked me out, he told me he does likes me, etc. Even then my mom taught me to pray for confirmation, and it works very well! Awesome video! Thank you Mark! ☺

Hmm. . .I've always heard that true love is true friendship on fire.

Interesting one with eye contact. I've had conversations with guys where they've said that they will actively make eye contact with girls that they like more than they will a girl they're not interested in. I think to them it showed their interest more, eye contact does tend to show people that you're engaged and interested in what they're saying, attentive to it. Or if it's eye contact across a room then perhaps the reason you keep catching their eye is because they're looking at you as much as you're looking at them. I agree it's one that shouldn't be taken as a definite "he looked at me and so he loves me" kind of sign but I don't think it's always not an indicator, if that makes sense...

When God told Abraham he will be the father of nations, he situation did not match his reality. So yes God's voice can and often over rules your current reality

Thanks for sharing! This generation needs more relationship advice from a godly perspective 🙌🏻

Im content with being alone. If I’m meant for someone, then great but I’m not expecting anything. Our father is isolating me for a reason so I need to focus and stay away from the jezebel spirit

Yes generally these are good signs. Players also use these signs too.

If a guy does not come up to you and asks you for a date it is utterly irrelevant whether he likes you or not! Full stop.

I love that you have common sense and provide so much disclosure

Eye contact is not when someone is on stage looking at ppl in the crowd. It's not just looking at someone...you must consider the environment and the way you look at someone

I like your teaching style bro!! Keep it up 🙏🏼

Long stares and eye contact... sighs. I thought we have something. 3. Happened twice. Okay. Bye!

All of these women who think that a man on stage worshipping is looking at them are crazy in the mind😂😂😂 oh goodness 🤣🤣🤣

Good content. However I'm 34 this year and no one has been doing any of these things in my presence. I know I'm not called to singleness, so I'll just wait on God.

Amen, I like the tips of how to know if a man likes you cause it comes from a man itself.😀 Now speaking about waiting on God for a spouse and how to go about it. Your right it doesn't matter how you meet this person. What matter is that you do things in a way to great God. What that means is you don't stop being a Christian just because you met this person and then change back when you are not around this person.That is not pleasing to God. Or start changing with God just because you met this person. Believe me if this person is not for you. God would take him or her out of your ways. Just get to know each others and trust God that if it's in his plans things would fall in place. No matter how much you have to try don't give up cause God doesn't give up on us. God bless you📙

When getting to know someone. It’s better to establish a friendship before dating. Get to know the person first and see where it goes. Also find out if the person has a solid relationship with “GOD” you can learn a lot about a person in within 10 minutes of a conversation. 🙏

Could someone pray for me that I find her, much appreciated , God bless you all

I'm deeply lonely and confused pls pray. Ty

God revealed my soulmate to me a week after I met her. I wasnt even attracted to her until He told me that and then I fought it for 2 months while He slowly confirmed it. EDIT: please read the comments.

Amen I was one minute in and I already wanted to hit that bell I'm loving it!!!

How do we know if he stands up for us, if we're not there? 😅

I’m a girl and I think it’s kinda cute when guys are slightly awkward. And I mean when he’s kinda shy when he talks to me. Also, my first ever crush crush was in the 9th grade and this guy was so sweet and cute in my art class. He would joke with me all the time and we just talked and I really thought he liked me. Well, there was another girl in that class and I noticed that he started to treat her the same way and I was an emotional mess when I came to class and he was gushing over her. I remember one day she told me she liked him too and I was so crushed. I just left it alone and I would see them even semesters later walking around school together and talking. I honestly do not see myself ever chasing the guy. I could see myself having a boldness and just being myself and having a conversation with a guy one day but idk. Anyway, here recently it sort of seems like a desire has arose in me to watch and think about meeting my future husband. Idk, it’s weird and I kinda thought I wouldn’t ever get married or else it just would happen way later but I’ve been seeking God more and this feeling just is weird lol. I’m going to continue to pray about it.

Haha haha One time there was a pretty girl at my church that five different guys were positive God told them She was for them!

I’m divorced twice having been married the first time for seven years and the second time for 32 years. Both my husbands claimed to be Christian but were serial cheaters. Obviously I am not a 30 something woman. I am having an extremely hard time meeting a Christian man in my age group who will put God first and lead me with a strong hand as in the song by Sanctus Real. Could you please do some videos for the 55 plus population of men and women that love being married but want to finally experience a true Christian marriage? Thank you.

Thanks for the confirmation of the misconceptions!!! I needed that! Been distracted with thoughts of the " impression of my future husband" now I know that it's just my own voice/ feelings!!!!

9:55 like my good ol’ boy Sam would say: “I can fix that”

That eye contact one is funny, because I used to (and probably still do) stare off into space when I'm just sitting around thinking about something. So in science class I sat at one table and a guy sat at a table across the way facing me, and he got really uncomfortable and weirded out because he thought I was staring at him. Then, I saw him waving his hand and making weird facial expressions trying to say, "Why are you staring at me," but without using words, since we were in class, and I didn't even notice until he had been doing it for awhile. Then I looked at him like, "What's your problem, can't I just look straight ahead without you thinking I like you?" That was awkward, and annoying. It didn't just happen once, either; he continuously thought I was looking at him and even approached me about it, and didn't seem to believe me when I told him I was just spacing out and he happened to be sitting directly in front of my line of view.

OMG! I got 9 signs from my guy bestfriend... And we’re both studying in a Bible School...

Yes Mark, you have received the Holy Spirit and are gifted and qualified to teach the masses about Marriage. Praise the Lord!

I have a sad but now funny story to share: This past year I liked someone at my church, and then started to notice he would talk to me, invite me places, call and text me if I was going to such-and-such event, like my stuff on social media, and act awkward around me, and the fact that he was treating me differently meant that he liked me too. Well turns out he didn't. he found out through a mutual friend how I felt about him, and he messaged me saying he just wanted to be friends and "had to be clear about it" and didn't wanna be nothing more. Ouch. And, found out after that he would call other people too and invite other people places too and that he was just a friendly guy lol. EDIT: might be relevant or not but this guy is a lead pastor at my church single and I am a leader too.

Straight to comment section cause you have no patience listening.

How on earth would we know how he treats other girls IF WE ARE NOT friends with him?

But, if you truly keep randomly running into someone in different places where neither of you might have had prior knowledge of the other’s plans, this may be a good sign that God is saying, “Hellooooo .... I keep bumping you guys into each other for a reason”.

LOVE your talks so far, Pastor! TY! I LOVE your website too! Thank you for all your loving guidance! God blessed you with WISDOM!

I'm happily married, but would have enjoyed a video like this when I was single (that was mostly before RU-vid and social media). Really good points.

1 3 4 9 10 and 12. I think she likes me.

I have watched a few of these types of videos and usually they are either from a secular perspective and don’t really apply to my life or they are from a “Christian” perspective and a complete joke. This was actually so solid and I really appreciate your insight! I almost didn’t click on the video because most of the videos I’ve seen of “Christian” men giving advice come across very immature, arrogant, or egotistical. But you seem like such a humble, solid guy. Thank you for sharing this and your other videos! I’m watching a bunch of them now haha

These videos are truly a blessing. Praise the Lord! =]

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh... and we are supposed to judge righteous judgenent

Am learning how to counsel my youth.😊

Just ask them out! Yes or no. If no, then move on. Nuff' said.

The night before last I had a dream about my grandmother God said she is suffering I'm going to bring her home and she won't suffer any longer. My grandmother died today.

Oh my gosh this is so real... the signs apply to me as well when i actually like a guy... 😂😅 but i also realized the very poor probability of the guy i like liking me back 🤣 waaaah it’s all in my head... thank you Bro for this video... it is awakening 😃

Practical, Honest and it really works in circumstances.

I recently started an LDR with someone I had met the first time over 8 years ago. Here's the interesting story, which I'd like to share to see what you guys think. We met in my 8th year of school (I was 13, she was 11). I had gone to that school because I'd had enough of all that fucking bullying, which nearly got me to commit suicide if it wasn't for Jesus! Anyway, emotionally I just wasn't ready for a relationship and after 2 weeks we broke up. But we remained friends. The next year I went to high school, while she stayed at her school for another year. I thought that would be the end of it, that I'd never see her again. But somehow, she ends up at the exact same high school! We did not pick up the dating relationship though, I just did not feel right about that. But we caught up a few times, had some normal chats, ya know. Basic friendship stuff. 6 years later, I moved to a country on the opposite side of the World. There I thought it would be the end of our friendship also, because she hadn't come to my farewell 18th birthday party. No big issue, and I thought she was just being odd. So I dropped our friendship fairly easily. But then, even at the start of this year, we got talking on Facebook a lot more than I thought at first. I also started picking up signs that she might be liking me. She sent me a letter, old-school via post, with pictures and kind comments from my best mates at high school - herself included, with a poem, a thank-you, and drawings. That's when I began to think she might like me more than I thought. So I began praying over it a lot! And I found courage to talk to her about it. And she was very honest about her feelings. When she asked me if I had feelings for her, I said there were a number of things I like about her, but that an uncertain LDR would not be worth it. Then there came a 3 week prayer event from our Church, to pray over our city. As I was fasting from computer stuff - which includes Facebook and thus talking with that girl - I had not only some amazing prayer moments about our city, but also between me and this girl. God really showed me her character in a whole new perspective. I always saw her as dubious, wasn't sure what she was like; I had been through untrue relationships briefly in the past, which hurt me a lot and made me far more cautious. But after the continuous dreams I've had after praying and praying, I began to wonder if there was more to this. I asked God, and I kept getting the same answer. That this girl is genuine, and seeking after God like I do. She feels like travelling the world, to help others (missionary comes to mind). We like a lot of the same things - drawing, music, cooking, sports, and most importantly Jesus! Even after having realized all this I kept praying, and I told her to pray as well. And she has been doing that. Now it's come to this point where I decided to trust God in this. Yes, it's an LDR (Long Distance Relationship), and humanly speaking it seems stupid and odd to have such a long LDR with seemingly no certain outcome. But I've decided to trust God in this; if He wants us together, He will make it happen!

Wow..like your teachings Mark...God bless you..

Love at first sight is very real!!!

I know when I guy fancies me because they become nervous 😂😂 and I find it hilarious!!

There is no such thing as Luck. God determines the times and places in which we live and he is always in control. Well said previous commentor!!!

I'm still continue pray to God that God give me a husband in his time 🙏

What a breath of fresh air!

Us guys will peacock in some way. When a guy has a crush he'll often go overboard to become a better more attractive version of himself. He'll lift weights more in the gym and his fitness regimen will be more on point than usual. It's not uncommon for a guy to want to go out and conquer the world in some way.

I laughed when Mark said I reached the bonus round. Hihi. God bless, Paul, Bethany and everyone!

The social-media thing you got to realize that the world is real crazy so you might not want to go off of that social-media thing because they could be a stalker

*Love your videos, you bring a lot of very interesting facts. and on more thing............. subscribed*

Some people are too determined to get their own way. Whether you have feelings for them or not.

Anyone else watch these types of videos for ideas for their romance fiction stories? Just me? K, lol.

Great video, and definitely some useful tips.

Thanks for debunking that someone has a crush on me

Thank you for this video , it was really nice to watch - all the signs are a good help ! God bless ~ ♡.

The point about the eye contact however is sooooo spot on! I noticed this too sometimes. If you notice a person looking at you frequently, you will look back at this person eventually even if you are not attracted to the person.

I had a dream last night and you were in it mark, helping me it was pretty cool man thank you for what you do!

I love that you give examples. 😆

Always sitting next to the one I like/love? With me, I think I'm different, I tend to sit away from her, kind of being shy or being afraid or preventing awkward feelings... because I've found that I start shaking when sitting next to a good looking lady... so I always choose the singles seat.

The boy I like makes really clear that he protects me. When we are starting to argue, he says he'll protect me. Is this an obvious sign??

My goodness who’s this pastor because I need to find out what to do to pick up these ladies 😂😂

...sounds like he describes Narcissists. - I learned the hard way to always trust my Godgiven gut feeling.

Well if you are speaking in front of the audience that would not mean attraction if you make eye contact. But if you are around the crowd and someone in there is constanly gazing at you there might be chance that he or she likes you

Great thanks. Stay blessed man.

Awww ❤ i like hearing how other people made comments about you both when you were friends.

I wish I had seen this years before. I’ve wasted so much time on those who had no interest in me, or should I say only one interest.

For the last 10+ years when people first saw us together they kept assuming my friend and I were married. It is only in the last few months that we have mutual interest for romance between us, and we still get those comments. We have a 14 year age gap and didn't have any physical contact. Most of the time they just saw us standing/ walk in the door and say that. How amazing is that?:)

We go to church to pray and seek the kingdom of God not to look at ladies or menand find out if they are in love with us... that's my purpose of going to church

Back in the old days love was very real since it came very easy, the way it did for our family members.

Players know all these signs also. 🎣 And use them.

With the eye contact, what if the guy is already looking at me when I look at him? And I get reports that he looks at me when I'm not looking at him? Would that mean he's interested??

That’s funny how you mentioned that eye contact because I experience that a few years ago at my church. It was this girl that used to stare at me quite often and I did as well. Finally I got the courage up to say something to her one day only to be told I’m in a complicated relationship situation.

This was a really enlightening topic! Thank you!

I propose a toast: To my future alimony payment...MAY WE NEVER MEET!!!

Your videos are such blessings!!!

Thank you for the advice, it helps

Your videos are lovely, thank you.

While what you have said in previous videos is appreciated, have you done anything with regards to those who claim to be of Christ yet say and write or do things which clearly shows they do not have the Love of God in their hearts? And how should we as believers respond to such individuals?
