My crush said I was a keeper what does it mean

It's usually a compliment but it doesn't necessarily mean *he* wants you as a GF. But it means he considers your type/personality very uncommon/rare, precious and desirable. A girl gamer who's into sports and loves to have a lot of sex is a keeper. :P An honest girl who doesn't play mind games or hard to get is a keeper. etc.

But being a "keeper" isn't always related to love relationships. You can say that a friend is a keeper too. For example a lesbian who hates feminism would be considered a keeper for many guys. xD It's something so uncommon and rare that it's refreshing to see. A guy friend who isn't interested in having sex with you is a keeper. etc.

He probably means that you're good in his eyes... He enjoys your company, and he quite likely thinks you're good looking. I know that if I called a girl a 'keeper', I think she's suitable for me! But, every person is different. If your friends think he's a good person, and they approve of him, I'd go after him!

[dazedandconfused22]

Don't always take what a guy says too seriously. It could mean anything really but until he asks you to be his GF don't get too hung up on it :)

[TheStrawberryQueen]

It means that you're worth it. It isn't certain that he likes you too because some guys say that in a friendly way.

Do you have some TV fishing shows to watch in your area? Keepers & culling will be taught there.

[chiva2006]

It means, that out of all the other girls he had to go through, you are up to date the one he does not want to let go or see leave. It basically means he likes your way of doing things and considers those traits to be valuable for future use as a gf/wife

[EltonBond]

If your a keepers its kind of obvious, he wants to keep you. As in your good at life basically.
Unless your play football, and im talking about real football, (soccer for americans, football, not soccer), then he is just talking about what position he would put you in...

[Applefan1]

Any woman should take this as a compliment when a guy says this about them because it means a girl that the guy wants to date and have a meaningful relationship with. He means he wants to be with that girl and thinks more of her than just someone to have sex with.

[OffTheTrail]

It's our way of saying you have a great personality plus whatever else the guy values. Similar to when we say someone is beautiful, but that's just a judgment of character - saying someone's a keeper means we truly value your company. It doesn't necessarily mean he considers you a GF, but it's certainly a good chance, much better than if he just called you hot or cute - maybe he has a crush on you too, and is just as uncertain as you are.

[gentlycurious]

he has found many such qualities in you that make you compatible for him. he can share himself with you. you are not going to be taken lightly. :) cheers.

[joeclem111]

Sounds like you are very good, we only keep the best. I know what I need in a woman so if you are that good to him, he will never leave you. Love it and live it and keep being a very special lady.

[Avelyn]

it means you are not a b**** .
it means you are a high quality, high value woman, that is, someone worth having a serious relationship with

[slatyb]

It means he thinks you would make a good partner. If he's much older than you it means he really likes you but it's the wrong time.

[joe833a]

The guy thinks your the type of woman worth keeping above many others. Your qualities are above average and he feels you are on a higher level compared to other women he knows

[Vinnithexplorer]

It is quite a compliment! It means that you have everything this guy wants and needs and that he trusts you and enjoys your company.

Enjoy!

[godfatherfan]

I am hoping by putting a entry this stupid question stops showing up on the op of the list.

[RoastedCat]

It means that you are really good at catching balls.

[Drooogie4]

Either he means for himself, or he admires you as a person.
Its a compliment in whatever use haha

[DamanMannn]

You are meant for him in ways that he appreciates the quality you have.
You. Are. Golden.

[Curmudgeon]

He thinks you are great, even marriage material one day. Yes, it is a fine compliment. Be happy.

[eshka]

it means that anyone who makes you their girlfriend will be lucky bc of certain qualities you have.

[jimjam95]

it basically means that he is glad that he can call you his

[pyramid_princess]

You are too precious to let go. He doesn't want to blow the chance of loosing you

[DonkeyKong1979]

He's implying you have big manly hands, like a goalkeeper on a soccer team... :p

[mjhutch]

It means your gf material and you have all the traits he looks for in a woman.
