Nowadays, half of the relationships start with “get-to-know-you” text conversations where each person decides if the other is worth hanging out with in real life or not. It sounds a bit rough, but texting has kind of become a vetting period for both guys and girls alike. You have a very small window to see if a guy likes you via texting, so today I’m here to help you figure it out, fast. Let’s learn how to know if a guy likes you through texts with these 10 examples.
1. He texts you even when he is “busy.”
Chances are this guy either works or studies… if he doesn’t do either, maybe you should stop texting him altogether, but that’s beside the point. If he’s working or studying, he’s going to be busy with classes, meetings, or projects. That’s why only a guy who likes you would waste precious productive hours texting you. Look out for texts between the hours of 10 am and 2 pm as these are prime productive hours when people aren’t paying much attention to their phones unless someone important is texting them – AKA you!

2. He keeps you in the loop.
I’m sure I’m one of many girls who have been in the middle of a text conversation with a guy only to be left high and dry because bro didn’t know how to say “Got to go, talk to you later.” This can be extremely frustrating and is one step below ghosting, plus, it’s just rude and disrespectful – trust me, I’ve lived it. A guy who really likes you is going to keep you in the loop about what he’s doing as well as when he can’t get back to you. It takes two seconds to send a message saying you’re busy and talk to you later, and that’s the respect you’ll get from a guy who actually likes you.
3. He texts you early in the morning.
If this guy texts you between the hours of 6 and 8 am, you’re one of the first things on his mind when he wakes up. That’s a pretty big compliment because if you’re on his mind at night we can assume he’s dreaming about you in potentially scandalous ways, but if he texts you in the morning, this shows genuine care that he can’t help but notice, which is why he reaches out to you.
4. He tries to keep the conversation going.
Texting convos can sometimes get dry and go bye-bye, so you’ll notice when a guy really puts in the effort to keep a conversation going. He’s going to sound enthusiastic even when you’re talking about everyday things. This shows his interest not only in the conversation but in you.
5. He sends you memes to make you laugh.
If this guy tries to make you laugh – especially if he wants to brighten your mood when you’re feeling down – he wants to get on your good side and positively impact your life. While laughter is a way into a woman’s heart, it can also be something shared between two close friends, so be sure this guy checks off other items on this list too before assuming his memes are based on romance.

6. He texts you while he’s at an event.
There are a few places you should never be texting: during speeches, award ceremonies, church services, funerals, weddings, and parties. If he texts you during any or some of these events, he’s literally saying that you’re more important than the huge event he’s attending – and that’s a pretty big deal.
7. He writes you long messages.
Let’s face it, most guys do not have a way with words. Women tend to speak more than twice as much as men daily and it’s reflected in most text conversations. That’s why if you can get this guy to send you paragraph-long texts, especially if it’s emotional or detailed stuff, he’s really opening up to you in a more-than-a-friend kind of way.
8. He uses flirty emojis.
When you receive the fire, winking face, tongue-out, heart-eyes, or – gasp! – eggplant emoji, there is some intense flirting going on, and that doesn’t happen unless the other person is interested in you.
9. He likes to paint imaginative scenes.
This example refers to guys who like to play around with hypotheticals. This could be him saying he wishes you guys were hanging out in person, asking what you would do in a made-up scenario, or talking to you about his dreams or desires. Such imaginative pictures open the door for you to agree with him or participate in his hypotheticals, which is definitely flirtatious.
10. He tries to figure out who you spend time with.
A guy who likes you is going to ask you questions about your day and they’re going to get into the nitty-gritty details. He’s especially going to want to know who you spend your time with because this will help him figure out if you’re interested in anyone else, who your social circle is, and how you function. All of these are key to know for any dude who wants to learn about you and get with you.
