Does a guy care about you if he apologizes?

[bethellis]

I took my little sisters to see where I work and I ended up talking to this guy I kind of like (who works there as well). A couple of days later a girl gave me a message that he wanted to apologize to me for swearing in front of them (my sisters), and that he felt quite embarrased when I left. I don't even remember him swearing, but I was wondering...could this mean he likes me? Does it mean he cares what I think about him? Also, the same guy said to me a few weeks ago "oh so you're not just a pretty face", after asking me a question.

Him apologizing in and of itself doesn't mean he likes you or is interested in you, but from what you tell us it does sound like he cares what your opinion of him is. This could mean that he likes you, but it also could mean that he doesn't want anyone to have a negative image of him. Now when talking about the, "Oh so you're not just a pretty face", definitely sounds like he is flirting with you. He very well might be interested in you, but once again it's tough to say for sure if he actually likes you, or if he is just one of those flirty kind of guys. Worse case scenario would be he is a flirty kind of guy that cares what other people think about him regardless if he likes them or not. Best case scenario, he likes you and is hoping that you will catch this, flirt back, and show him some interest. I have a strong feeling that it's the latter.

Yup, he's interested. He was trying to hint that he thought you weren't running solely off your looks, unlike a lot of attractive girls. If you like him too, tell him you think he's handsome and that you wouldn't mind seeing him outside of work. Let him reply and see if he suggests taking you out, or passing on his phone number.

No, it isn't a definite sign. I can tell you he sure likes you just to make you feel good but I have to put an honest input here. So, yeah, it is a 50/50 probability that he likes you or just being decent. I was in a similar situation in college back then. I had a colleague who was joking and was making fun of me. It was obvious that I didn't like it but I said nothing. He felt it and because he was a decent guy, he apologized twice and explained that he did not mean it. He was so keen to make it up for me to the extent that it might look like he liked me. I thought so too but it wasn't true. This is why I'm telling you it is a not a definite sign of admiration. See, if he is sweet, supportive and looks at you alot, then he likes you, but if it is only that apology letter then don't read too much into it. Hope this helps. :)

Yeah he's interested. To be consciously thinking about it after you left and to make a point to apologize he has to think about you as more than just an acquaintance or friend. Just ask yourself how much you think about how a conversation was with someone after it's over. If it's someone you're interested in, chances are you analyze it quite a bit. If not you probably don't mull it over at all.
