hi OP! if a guy is genuinely interested, he will often try to find 1-on-1 time together with you, buy you gifts (or offer to), or initiate physical touch between you. if he's just being pleasant and having polite conversation, that could definitely be general friendliness. if YOU are interested in HIM though, don't be afraid to invite him out somewhere if he's being friendly, because he'll appreciate it if he was being respectful and reserved, or else he'll just be flattered.
Most men are not “just friendly” and most women underestimate how much a guy is into them. Men hardly ever acknowledge or look at a woman they find unattractive so therefore we can assume that if he’s giving u attention, making time for you, and is being present, he probably likes you to some degree
you're basically ruling out the possibility of any guy ever acting out of kindness and not just a desire to get laid? i have many guy friends who act kindly because we're friends. that's not unusual at all. also why are you replying to threads on ask women when your account history clearly shows you're not a woman
“Ruling out the possibility of any guy” when I said “most guys” . You’re also reducing “showing interest and attraction” to “desire to get laid” lmao. I also said a lot of women underestimate how much a man tends to value them. These two things are tells that women should give a second thought to whether a man is just being nice or if they are interested. Usually, it’s the latter.
