If a guy that you like tends to respond to your texts quickly then you’re probably wondering why and what it might mean.

This post will help you to understand why he responds to your texts quickly and help you understand why other guys might do it as well in the future.

So, what does it mean when a guy responds to your texts quickly? A guy responding to your texts quickly might mean that he likes you which would be more likely if he only does it with you, he wants to hang out with you and he shows signs of attraction in person. He might also enjoy talking to you or he might tend to be looking at his phone when you text him.

Since there are a number of reasons why a guy might respond to your texts quickly it is important to consider the context of how he does it and the body language that he shows when he is around you.

By doing so you’ll be able to get a better understanding of why he responds to your texts quickly and the body language that he shows around you.

Reasons why a guy will respond to your texts quickly

Each of the different reasons why a guy will respond to your texts quickly will likely come with a number of clues in his body language and behavior when he is around you.

Below, I will mention a number of reasons why a guy will respond to your texts quickly and the body language and behavior signs that you can expect him to show with them.

He is attracted to you

The reason that he texts you back quickly could be that he likes you.

If he does then it would be likely that he would continue the conversation with you, he would likely often text you first, he would possibly text you more intimate texts or texts that hint towards intimacy and he would likely try to make plans to hang out when texting you.

If he is attracted to you it would be likely that he would show signs of being attracted to you in his body language and behavior when he is around you in person.

These signs could include:

• Mirroring your body language
• Asking you the most questions when you’re in a group together
• Holding prolonged eye contact with you
• Standing closer to you than he does with other people when talking to you
• Having dilated pupils when talking to you
• Touching you a lot and finding excuses to touch you
• Staring at you then quickly looking away when you notice
• Sitting upright when he sees you
• Uncrossing his arms when he sees you
• Adjusting his hair or clothing when he sees you
• Becoming anxious while you are talking to other men and watching you when you are
• Pointing his feet in your direction even when he is not stood in front of you
• Asking your friends about you
• Looking at your lips
• Blinking more frequently
• Talking to you with a deeper voice than he does with other people

He enjoys talking to you

The reason that he texts you back quickly could be that he enjoys talking to you as a friend but not because he is attracted to you.

If that is the case then it would be more likely that he would text about funny things more. However, he would be less likely to text intimate things or things that could be interpreted as intimate. He would also be less likely to try to organize meeting up with you.

When he is around you it would be likely that he would show positive body language signs such as showing you his palms, smiling and uncrossing his arms. However, he would be less likely to show a number of the signs of attraction mentioned above such as getting anxious when you’re with other men, holding prolonged eye contact with you, having dilated pupils or touching you a lot.

He tends to be looking at his phone when you text him

It might be the case that he tends to text you back quickly because he tends to be on his phone a lot and you often text him when he is on it.

Even if that is the case, he still might text you back quickly because he is attracted to you. If he does it would be likely that he would show the signs of attraction mentioned above.

He might not be attracted to you (some guys wait on purpose)

It could actually also be a sign that he is not attracted to you. This is because some guys will not text a girl, that they like, back quickly because they want to make her think about him more.

If the reason that he texts you back quickly is because he doesn’t want to make you wonder about him then it would be likely that he wouldn’t initiate the conversation with you, he wouldn’t text intimate topics and he would be unlikely to schedule hanging out with you.

If he is not attracted to you it would also be likely that he would show signs of it in his body language and behavior around you as well by doing things such as:

• Crossing his arms when he sees you
• Avoiding eye contact with you
• Squinting when he sees you
• Tightening his lips when you’re talking
• Avoiding talking to you
• Pointing his feet away from you
• Positioning himself to be further away from you

Consider what he texts you

When trying to understand why he might be texting you back quickly it would be helpful to consider the type of things that he texts you.

If he tends to text you things that could be interpreted as being sexual then it would be likely that he does like you.

Additionally, if he tends to ask you what you’re doing, where you are and what you’ll be doing later it would be likely that he is asking because he wants to see you.

Consider when he texts you

The timing of when he texts you would also be a useful thing to consider.

If he tends to text you later at night then it would make it more likely that he is attracted to you especially if he also asks what you’re doing and if he asks you to see him.

Whereas, if he doesn’t tend to text you in the evenings but he normally texts you during the afternoon then it would be less likely that he is attracted to you. However, he still might be which is why it’s important to consider his behavior around you and the body language that he shows.

Consider who tends to start the conversation

It would also be helpful to consider whether or not he tends to start the conversation.

If he is the one that tends to text you first then it would be more likely that he is attracted to you. This is because it suggests that he thinks about you a lot and that he is interested in furthering the relationship with you.

Whereas, if he rarely starts the conversation then it would be less likely that he is attracted to you. However, he might be the type of guy that just doesn’t text much in which case he still might be attracted to you. It would be necessary for you to consider the way that he behaves around you and if he shows signs of attraction around you.

Consider how he reacts to seeing you

It would likely be useful to consider the way that he reacts to seeing you when trying to understand the way that he feels about you.

This is because if he noticeably changes his body language when he sees you then it would be a strong sign that he has positive or negative feelings about you.

If he reacts to seeing you by uncrossing his arms, adjusting his clothing or hair, sitting or standing more upright, smiling, raising his eyebrows, making room for you, holding eye contact with you, his pupils dilate and he doesn’t show negative signs such as squinting at you or tensing his jaw then it would be likely that he is attracted to you.

Whereas, if he does squint, tense his jaw, cross his arms, tighten his lips, avoid eye contact with you, distance himself from you and he points his feet away from you then it would be less likely that he is attracted to you.

Compare his behavior with you compared to when he’s with others

When trying to understand the way that he feels about you it would be helpful to consider if he interacts with you differently compared to other people.

If you know that he tends to text other people back quickly and he shows the same body language and behavior around you as he does around other people then it would be more likely that he replies to your texts quickly because he is friends with you.

Whereas, if he only replies to your texts quickly and he changes his body language around you then it would be more likely that he is attracted to you assuming that he shows signs of attraction in his body language around you.

Look at multiple aspects of his body language

When considering what his body language is showing you it is important to look for clusters of signs in his body language.

This means that you should look for multiple signs in his body language that all suggest the same thing such as attraction or avoidance.

This is because he might show a single body language sign for a variety of different reasons which would make it difficult to draw an accurate conclusion from it.

Whereas, if he shows multiple body language signs of the same thing then it would be much more likely that he is showing them for that exact reason.
