If a guy recently asked for your Instagram, this post will show you likely reasons why and what would make them more likely.
So, what does it mean when a guy asks for your Instagram? Likely reasons why a guy will ask for your Instagram are that he is attracted to you or that he considers you a friend. It could also be the case that he wants to contact you about something.
There are a number of possible reasons why a guy will ask for your Instagram but there are some things you can consider to help figure out the main cause.
What does it mean when a guy asks for your Instagram?
Below are likely reasons why a guy will ask for your Instagram and what would make them more likely.
He is attracted to you
The reason why he asked for your Instagram could be that he is attracted to you. This would be more likely if he specifically asked for your Instagram when he could have asked other people for their Instagram as well. It would also be more likely if he shows different body language around you than he does around other people.
If he is attracted to you, he will likely show it in his body language by doing things such as:
- Standing the closest to you
- Positioning himself to be nearer to you
- Asking you the most questions
- Having dilated pupils when looking at you
- Raising his eyebrows when he sees you
- Sitting or standing straighter when he sees you
- Touching you the most
- Holding prolonged eye contact with you
- Looking at you when laughing
- Telling more jokes when you are around
- Talking more when you are around
- Pointing his feet at you
- Talking with a deeper voice than usual
He considers you a friend
It could also be the case that he asked because he considers you as a friend. This would be more likely if he also asked his other friends for their Instagrams and if he shows similar body language with you as he does with his other friends.
He wants to contact you about something
It might also be the case that he asked because he wants to contact you about something. This would be more likely if he asked for it when he was asking if you wanted to do something.
Consider the timing of when he asked
To help figure out why he asked for it, it would help to consider the timing of when he asked. If he asked for it at a party, it would be much more likely that he asked because he is attracted to you. Whereas, if he asked when you were with friends, it would make it more likely that he asked as a friend but it could still be the case that he asked due to being attracted to you.
Consider how he interacts with other people
It would also help to compare the way that he interacts with other people with how he interacts with you. If he behaves differently with you than he does with other people, it would be more likely that he is attracted to you. Whereas, if he behaves the same way with you as he does with his other friends, it would be more likely that he was asking as a friend.
Consider the way he reacts to seeing you
It would also help to consider how he reacts when he sees you.
If he reacts to seeing you by doing things such as moving closer to you, adjusting his appearance, raising his eye brows and smiling, it would be more likely that he asked because he is attracted to you.
Whereas, if he does not noticeably change his body language, when he sees you, it would be more likely that he asked as a friend.
Consider multiple signs
When considering his body language, it would help to consider multiple signs at the same time. The reason for this is that one body language, by itself, is not usually reliable. Whereas, if you see multiple body language signs that all suggest the same thing, it would be more likely that he is feeling that way.
If you want to learn more about body language, a book I would recommend would be The Definitive Book of Body Language (on Amazon). It shows you how to interpret body language and understand people's true intentions.
