If a guy defends a girl in public, does that mean he likes her?

[Anonymous]

This guy defended me in a meeting last week. Today he cheered for me in meeting again.

Does that mean he likes me? Or he did that just to get everyone's attention in the meeting room?

proverbial white knight-beta male sounds like my kind of guy. He definitely has made an impression, but I don't know how to let him know I like to know him better... if he likes me.

He is your proverbial white knight-beta male fighting the good fight in the court of public opinion when the opportunity os good.

He likes you, yes. If you like a man with little backbone who is a follower, then he's your man.

He probably does like you. if you are interested in him I'd say you have a good chance :)

He probably likes you. Some guys act like a**holes to everyone around them except the girl they like to make her feel special.
