Like you do like them a lot... but they really really like you back. Can you tell?

Not even a little. I always assume a guy is being nice or a gentleman until he point blank tells me, "I like you." Usually the guys I wind up liking only like me as friends so... yeah, haha. Apparently have terrible tastes in whom I fall for. I honestly cannot remember the last time a guy liked me more than I liked them to the point it was blatantly obvious!
Because I've been around plenty of guys that were nice or liked me, but that didn't mean they "liked" me as more than that. So even if I like someone, I don't make any further assumptions until proven otherwise; it keeps me from being disappointed later on.
Can I tell when a person likes me? Yes.
I never can tell, when a person loves me because I don’t know if I ever met someone who truly loved me. (Like unconditionally).
Can I tell when a person likes me more than I like them? Only a few times, where it was painfully clear I didn’t like them and they liked me.
I never had to get confronted because anytime I didn’t like someone, I was always able to lead them to someone else, so they weren’t alone.
It usually worked out. 😊👌
Well what im getting at is you do like them... but its clear they really really like you a lot. like your attraction to them is more subdued or not as potent. while there's might be overt and very potent...
I see what you mean 🤔
Well, my use of “them” wasn’t a singular person. It was multiple people, and those different people were individuals that I had varying attractions to. Some more. Some less.
Those who had a more potent attraction to me, paired with my possible subdued attraction, never met any conflict, and I was able to convince them of other suitable suitors. They didn’t love me. Their attraction was just up, and seemed strong to me because I didn’t share the likes of their attraction.
It's called recyprocity. There are people who only decide to be with you, because they think they don't have any better options.
Yes I can, and women I've dated made it very obvious.

Yeah i can. I've been with guys I've liked more than they liked me, and have also been with guys who liked me more than i liked them. There’s a big difference, and it can be felt from the littlest things or the grandest gestures. So i can't really help but compare the two kinds of guys that come in my life.
can't explain the specifics, but i can feel it in my gut. When i do realize that i like a guy more than he does with me, i lose interest pretty quickly. I dont need that in my life. I want someone who likes me as much or more, nothing less.
My current boyfriend is a guy who likes me more than i like him. Which means he does a lot for me.. goes far to make me happy, and the little things that i see him do, makes me very happy. In return, i do a lot for him too. It also makes me wanna make him even happier. I've done things for him that i never did with the guys before him.
Its just an overall happier relationship for me when the guy likes me more.
Yes, and it usually makes me uncomfortable if it's really obvious. Even if I like them, it feels weird when they like me WAY more, especially in the early stages.
Why uncomfortable?
I'm usually the person more into them than they are into me, at the same time, I can usually tell that I'm more into them into them than they are into me.
The saying, if he/she wants to, they will...
Yeah definitely, you just know it in your gut and how they behave
How does that make you feel usually?
"Ohh shiit I'm wasting his time" .. don't know how to explain better, cause I know that I'm definitely not interested enough and so it's not fair for him, mostly the moment I realize that, I leave
wow... that sucks.
sorry
It's all okay, we can't do anything for our feelings or well the lack of it...
well sometimes mine grow more for me after knowing a person more
Oh that's good! But did you like them already from the start and it just grew or were you neutral and then you started liking them?
For me it doesn't, like if I don't have a certain amount of interest from the get go... it's already lost
well there was definitely sexual attraction. i feel thats a must from the start. if you don't have that then you likely won't get that later on.
but what i mean here is the more emotional type of attraction thats more personality based. where you feel like the more you know them the more you feel like wow this person im talking to may just be my soulmate' or if you don't believe in soulmates just someone you feel a deeper emotional bond with. i feel like thats what grows for me overtime getting to know them.
so going back to what you said here if i were to cut it off where i realize they are more into me then i am into them... id feel like im destroying any potential for growth there on my part...
unless i just know for sure at that point i don't see a future with them.. then yeah i'd have to let them go.
it really depends i suppose. im usually the one who falls more for the girl then she does for me. i just imagined if it were me in your scenario... it would hurt pretty bad. but hey i understand. attraction is different for different people. not something you can just... force. so to each their own of course.
Ohh okay I understand, like totally agree with the attraction part!
To the scenario, like if I saw a potential that I could grow more feelings towards him, I wouldn't get the thought of 'Oh shit' and more a 'Oh okay he means it seriously, so I can pull down my walls a little more' you know? I like that you don't wanna give up immediately tho
I don't always know for sure, but I always feel like that's the case. And when I start to feel it, I start to self sabotage everything.
No, I can't tell. I rarely know when someone likes me.

Have you lost your marbles?
It's funny, the older I get, the less sure I am about my ability to read and understand people.
It's very easy to tell.
does that happen more often to you than the other way around?
No i can't tell
No i can't tell.
Most times yes
Yes, you can.
