What does it mean when a guy asks if you’re single?

If a guy recently asked if you’re single then you might be wondering why and what it might mean about the way that he feels about you.

This post will show you a number of reasons why he might have asked whether or not you are single and why other guys might do the same in the future.

So, what does it mean when a guy asks if you’re single? It would likely be a sign that he is attracted to you especially if he only asks you and he shows other signs of attraction around you. He might also ask because he has a friend that likes you or because he was just making conversation.

There are actually a number of reasons that a guy might ask whether or not you are single and there are a number of things that you can consider when trying to figure out why he did it.

Why a guy will ask if you’re single

Each of the different reasons why a guy might ask that you are single will likely come with a number of clues in the way that he does it and the body language that he shows.

Below, I will mention a number of reasons why a guy will ask if you’re single, the signs to look for and the things to consider.

He is attracted to you

The reason that he asked you could have been that he is attracted to you and he wanted to know whether or not you might want a boyfriend.

This would be more likely if he only asked you, he has asked you similar questions such as what your type is and if she seems to show different body language around you compared to when he is with other people.

If he is attracted to you then it would be likely that he would show signs of attraction, in his body language, when he is around you.

These signs could include:

• Holding prolonged eye contact with you
• Glancing at you a lot
• Asking you the most questions
• Keeping his focus on you when multiple people are talking
• Adjusting his appearance when he sees you
• Pointing his feet at you (people often point their feet at people that they are attracted to)
• Touching you a lot
• Standing closer to you than he does with other people
• Watching you and getting anxious when you are around other men
• Getting defensive when other men are with you both
• Having dilated pupils when looking at you (people’s pupils will often become more dilated when looking at someone that they are attracted to)

There are many more signs of attraction that he might show around you and I have written about many more of them in this blog post.

One of his friends are attracted to you

It could also be the case that he asked because one of his friends are attracted to you.

This would be more likely if he doesn’t show signs of attraction around you himself, he asked you what you think of his friend and if his friend shows signs of attraction around you himself.

It would be especially likely if his friend seems to glance at you a lot and if he usually seems to be pointing his feet at you (people often point their feet at people that they are attracted to).

He was just making conversation

It might have been the case that he asked because he was trying to make conversation.

This would be more likely if he asked during a lull in the conversation, he asked other people as well and if he shows similar body language around you as he does with other people.

If he did seem to ask it to make conversation then it could still be the case that he is attracted to you. If he is then it would be more likely that he would show signs of attraction around you.

Consider how he reacts to seeing you

When trying to figure out how he feels about you and why he asked if you are single it would help to think about how he reacts upon seeing you.

If he changes his body language and behavior, noticeably, then it would make it more likely that he asked because he is attracted to you.

This means that if you notice that he reacts to seeing you by doing things such as:

• Adjusting his appearance
• Adjusting his posture
• Facing towards you (especially with his feet)
• Holding eye contact with you
• Moving closer to you

Then it would make it more likely that he asked because he is attracted to you.

Consider the way that he interacts with other people

It would also help to compare the way that he interacts with you with how he interacts with other people.

If he seems to ask other people similar questions and he shows similar body language around other people as with you then it would make it more likely that he was just making conversation.

Whereas, if he shows different body language around you and he only seems to ask you questions like that then it would make it more likely that he was showing attraction to you.

Think about how often he asks

It would also be helpful to consider how often he asks questions like if you’re single.

If he asked more than once and he asks you other questions such as what your type is then it would be more likely that he asks because he likes you.

Look for a number of body language clues

When considering what his body language might be showing it would help to look for multiple body language signs at the same time.

The reason for this is that a single body language sign can have many different meanings. This can make single body language signs less reliable on their own.

Whereas, if he shows a number of signs and they all suggest the same thing then it would make it more likely that he is showing them for that specific reason.
