9 Signs He Doesn't Just Like You, He's Downright Obsessed With You

If you've been told that someone is obsessed with you, you may be wondering whether this is a good or bad thing. On the one hand, it could mean that the person thinks about you constantly and can't get you out of their mind. On the other hand, it could mean that the person is stalking you or displaying unhealthy behavior. If you're not sure which category your crush falls into, here are some signs to help you decide. Additionally, be on the lookout for red flags that suggest the person may be too intense or possessive.

1. He's Very Curious About Your Schedule

If a guy is just casually interested in you, he may reach out to you spontaneously when he's available. On the other hand, a guy who is obsessed with you may try to plan dates around your work schedule and make an effort to see you as often as possible. This level of attentiveness can be overwhelming, especially if the relationship is still new. If you feel like you're being suffocated but still see potential in the guy, try communicating your boundaries and let him know that you appreciate his interest but need some space. Suggest a schedule of one hangout per week that works with your workload and social calendar.

2. Every Date Seems To Be Well Thought Out

If a guy is going above and beyond to make each outing special for you, it can be a sign of his deep feelings and determination to make you happy. While it's certainly sweet and thoughtful, it's important to let him know if you feel like he's putting too much effort into each date. It's okay to enjoy a low-key evening of Netflix and pizza sometimes, and it's important to have balance in the relationship. Otherwise, he may burn out from constantly trying to plan elaborate and magical outings. It's okay to appreciate the thought and effort, but also let him know if you'd prefer a more relaxed and casual approach at times.

3. He's Gone So Far To Instagram-follow Your Siblings

It can be both flattering and intimidating if a guy goes out of his way to learn about your friends and family before actually meeting them. On one hand, it shows a genuine interest and effort to get to know you and your loved ones. On the other hand, it may come across as a bit aggressive or overbearing. If you feel like his actions are crossing a line, it's important to communicate your boundaries and let him know that you appreciate his interest but would prefer a more gradual approach. However, if you believe his intentions are good and he simply got carried away with excitement over dating you, it may be worth having a conversation about his behavior and finding a middle ground that works for both of you.

4. He Really Listens To Your Suggestions

If your guy is willing to put in the effort to learn about your interests, such as researching Lizzo's album "Cuz I Love You" after you recommended it to him, it's a good sign that he is invested in the relationship. It's healthy for partners to have their own thoughts and opinions, rather than simply agreeing with everything the other person says in an attempt to win them over. Having your own distinct interests and viewpoints can make for a more dynamic and interesting relationship.

5. He Gets Red-faced Or Giggly Whenever He Sees You

It's possible to feel a strong attraction to someone as an adult, just like you might have in high school. Pay attention to physical signs of attraction when you're around the person, such as feeling breathless or nervous. If the person is able to hold a conversation with you without appearing too anxious, it could be a sign that they are interested in you. Remember, it's possible to feel this way about someone even as an adult, and it can be an exciting and memorable experience.

6. You've Noticed His Friends Checking You Out More

If the guy you're interested in has talked about you to his friends, it's a good sign that he's interested in you. If his friends seem interested in you too, it's likely that they are trying to gauge whether you are a good match for their friend. Keep in mind that guys generally don't discuss their romantic interests as much as girls do, so if he's talking about you to his friends, it could be a sign that he's serious about pursuing a relationship. Of course, it's always important to be respectful of boundaries and make sure that his friends are not trying to make a move on you.

7. He Remembers Really Strange Facts About You

If the guy you're interested in seems to remember every detail of your conversations, even if they were just brief exchanges, it could be a sign that he is paying close attention to you and is interested in getting to know you better. He may bring up specific details from your conversations in order to keep the conversation going and show that he was listening and remembers what you said. This can be a sign of interest and attention, rather than just small talk.

8. He Can't Stop Texting You

While it can be flattering to have someone show a lot of interest in you and your life, it's important to set boundaries and make sure that the level of communication is comfortable for both parties. If someone is constantly texting you and getting upset or demanding an explanation when you don't respond, it can become overwhelming and feel unhealthy. In a relationship, it's important to have some space and independence, and you don't owe anyone an explanation for how you choose to spend your time. It's okay to set limits and communicate your boundaries to make sure that the level of communication feels healthy and manageable for you.

9. He's Already Talked About The Future

It is not uncommon for women to have timelines for their personal and professional goals, particularly if they are planning to have children. However, it is also normal for men to have a vision for their future. If a man becomes very focused on a specific timeline and seems obsessed with it, it is important for you to consider whether this is a positive or negative trait for you. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide how you feel about this aspect of the relationship.
