Signs He Cares About You More Than You Think

Trying to figure out whether or not someone is interested in you can be one of the great tortures of our lives. You could spend hours picking petals off a flower determining if he loves you or not, but there are easier ways to figure it out.

Even if he hasn't outright said it yet, or he has but you're still not sure, there are smaller ways that you can tell that he's interested in you and cares about you.

He Talks About The Future

Even in a casual tone, talking about future vacation plans you could make together or things that he wants to do with you a few months from now is always a good sign. He's interested in you not just for right now, but for the long run too.

He notices little things like when you get a haircut or buy yourself a new pair of shoes, and he usually compliments you once he notices those things. He pays attention to the details that you wouldn't expect him to notice.

A great sign that someone is interested in you is if you've met their friends or family. He's introduced you to his closest friends or maybe you met his sister one day when they were hanging out. He's not trying to hide you from the rest of his life; he wants you to be a part of it.

Is he doing things like leaning in when you speak, making a lot of direct eye contact, or just generally always being close to you? If someone isn't interested in you, they won't want to spend time physically near you or have a need to be close to you.
