If you're chatting with your crush on Snapchat, you're probably wondering if he's interested in you. Since he can send messages, pictures, and videos on Snapchat, he might get creative in how he flirts or shows affection. Fortunately, the signs are fairly easy to spot. Here’s a list of common signs to help you figure out if ‘that guy’ has feelings for you.
Steps
He views and responds to your stories.
He will view and reply to your stories if he wants to stay updated on your life. If you often post stories, check to see if his name appears among the first to view them. If he's one of the first to watch, it’s a sign he’s interested in getting to know you better. He might even send you a message related to your post, as it’s a very easy way to start a conversation.
- Try posting a cute selfie or a fun activity you’re doing, and chances are he’ll respond.
He replays your Snap.
He will replay your Snap if he wants to take a closer look at it. Snapchat has a great feature that lets users rewatch snaps multiple times, and you’ll be notified if they do. Take a look at the history of snaps between you and him. If your snap shows ‘replayed,’ it means your crush really went back to watch it again.
- If you want to flirt a bit, shorten the time limit on your snaps so he can only view it for a few seconds. This will force him to replay the snap to see it more clearly.
He initiates sending snaps first.
If your crush sends you snaps first, it means he’s interested in getting to know you. When a guy likes you, he’ll make an effort to reach out first and flirt with you casually. If you constantly get notifications from him but haven’t sent him any snaps yet, it’s a sign he’s trying to get your attention and start a conversation.
- Sometimes, you can send him a snap first if you want to show your interest in him.
He sends more snaps than you.
Receiving many snaps from your 'crush' indicates that he enjoys chatting with you. When a guy likes you, he wants to present himself as interesting. Start a conversation with your 'crush' and compare the number of snaps he sends you to the number you send him. If he sends more snaps or if the conversation feels balanced, that's a sign he's flirting with you.
He sends you snaps that aren't shared with anyone else.
You won't see the snap your 'crush' shares with others on his Story. If he posts snaps to his Story or shares them in a group chat, that means he's sending snaps to multiple people. However, if he sends you a snap directly, that content is for you alone. He will keep the snap between the two of you if he wants you to feel special and subtly show his interest.
You receive attractive photos of him.
He wants to impress you by only sending well-taken photos. When a guy just wants to be friends, he might send you casual pictures occasionally. But if you notice that his snaps always have great lighting or are taken from the best angles, he's taking the time to pose to make an impression on you. He may also show off by sending snaps of cool things he's doing, like going to the beach or working out.
He adds cute drawings or text to his snaps.
The effort he puts into preparing his snaps shows that he cares about you. Although most of the time he sends casual pictures, pay attention to see if your 'crush' adds drawings, stickers, filters, or text. When you view his snaps, notice everything he adds to make the picture stand out. He might draw fun pictures or write meaningful messages to lift your spirits if he really likes you.
He shortens the time limit of his snaps.
His snap only lasts a few seconds if he wants you to respond or rewatch it. If his snap disappears before you have time to fully see it, he may have done this on purpose. He probably thinks you would want to get a better look, so he makes it disappear quickly, making you want to ask about it or watch it again. This way, he can easily start a conversation with you.
He quickly replies to your messages.
He'll eagerly want to chat and get to know you. When you send a snap or message on Snapchat, keep the app open and see if he responds right away. If he's genuinely excited to see your notification, he'll view and reply instantly. However, he might not respond immediately if he's busy at the moment.
He compliments you.
He wants to flatter you and make you happy when he likes you. He might compliment you during a conversation or directly in the snap description. When he says something that warms your heart, he’s aiming to make you feel good, and that's a sign he likes you more than just a friend. You can respond with a compliment to show your affection for him. He might say something like, 'You look amazing!' or 'Awesome! You’re always special!'
He jokes around with you.
If he makes jokes about your photos or messages, it’s a sign he likes you. Some guys will want to joke or flirt indirectly with humorous comments. When he responds to your snap with a funny tone, he’s trying to show off his sense of humor and see if you’ll enjoy his response. For example, if you share a bowling moment, he might say, 'I bet I’ll beat you 😉' or 'Wow, those bowling shoes look great on you haha.'
He never acts inappropriately.
He will respect your desire for a serious relationship. A guy who truly likes you will take his time and chat to get to know you. He'll sprinkle in some flirting in the messages, but he won't cross your boundaries. On the other hand, if a guy pressures you to send intimate photos or sends you suggestive messages, he is not connecting with you for pure reasons.
Warning
- Think carefully before sending intimate or suggestive photos via Snapchat. While Snapchat has a time limit on viewing pictures and notifies when someone takes a screenshot, the images can still be spread.
