10 Things Men Do When They're Into You

1. They write to you. It may come as a surprise to a young woman, as they are so often fond of corresponding themselves, but gentlemen are a much busier species with much less time to sit at a desk and engage in correspondence about anything unrelated to business. If a gentleman takes time to write to you—especially if it is he who initiates—it is likely that he’s had you on his mind for far longer than it took to write a letter!

2. He notices your outfit. While it is seen as the polite thing to do for a man to comment on how lovely a lady looks, paying close attention to his words may reveal his true intentions. Generalized statements might mean little, but more specific ones may mean a great deal. Gentlemen do not usually take the time to pay attention to the color of a lady’s dress or the style of their hair. If he goes out of his way to remark on it, it means his eyes have been looking long and often enough for him to notice a difference!

3. He dances with your sisters at balls, or engages your father or brothers in conversation in public. A wise man knows it is not only a lady’s heart he needs to win to secure a proposal—a lady’s family in most cases has just as much influence on her decision to marry as her own feelings. If he dances with your sisters, he may be trying to earn their favor so they may encourage you to accept his offer. If he converses with your male relatives, he may be trying to make himself out to be a good prospect.

4. He flirts with other ladies in your presence. While this may seem a cruel way to earn a lady’s favor, men are not always sensible in matters of the heart. They are possessive creatures, and it is one of the only ways they know how to express love; they may, in return, expect women to act similarly while in love. If you believe a gentleman wishes to marry you, and yet you see him laughing with another lady, do not be afraid to join the conversation and stake your claim in the subtle way women are accustomed to.

5. He is mean to you. Yet again, another cruel way to win a lady’s heart. Hear us out, though. A gentleman who was formerly so kind would only be driven to such cruelty by a belief that he’s been overlooked, slighted, or passed over in favor of another. If you care for the gentleman, do not be quick to jump to conclusions or lose your temper; instead, treat him gently and wind him down until you can find the source of his sudden coldness. More often than not you’ll find it is merely insecurity prompting him to act in such a way!

6. You run into him often in public. While magical society is small compared to muggle society, it is not that small. Think about how often you run into strangers on the street. We are inclined to think you’ve answered “not often”, because if you do then we can’t believe you’re still strangers! If you run into a man in public more often than other people, it’s likely that he’s learned your routine and is placing himself in a position to speak to you!

7. He smiles at you. Gentlemen are taught from a young age to be stoic and unexpressive. It is one of the reasons we women find them so frustrating, but also what attracts us to them! Men who break the facade of stoicism to pass a woman a smile as sending a message: they like you. They want you.

8. He will not kiss you, even when the opportunity strikes. We know—men and women are not supposed to share such an intimate touch before they are engaged, but it’s a poorly-kept secret that these things do happen. However, a gentleman who truly values you and loves you might be unwilling to make such an exception, not because he does not want to kick you but rather because he does not want you to think less of him.

9. He wants to know details about your life. The trivial things—your favorite sweet, whether you prefer the country or the city, your Hogwarts house—are not things men usually trouble themselves to remember, so by asking they are taking on the responsibility of remembering in the event that they come up in future conversation! What better way to show a lady he cares by saving a spot in his memory for her?

10. He talks about his work. Men talk about their work to everyone, so you may have to be observant when he speaks. If he comments on how high his wages are, what opportunities they afford him in terms of travel, boasts about a recent promotion, or even tries to relate his character to his work (such as a healer wanting you to believe him caring and gentle), he may be trying to impress you!
