15 Signs Your Man Is Crushing on Another Woman & Has Feelings for Her.

Is your guy showing another girl some serious attention? It’s time to learn the signs that your man has a crush on another woman and work out the truth.

You may notice that your boyfriend is behaving differently. There could be a number of reasons that this may be happening, so don’t panic. One explanation for his strange behavior, however, may point to your man having a crush on another woman!

Of course, there are instances in which having a crush is harmless. One of those instances is when your man is crushing on a movie star or a random Instagram model. But trouble can start to brew when his eyes stick to someone who could possibly reciprocate his feelings.

With the possibility of another woman snatching up your man, that crush can turn into a flame. Luckily, there are some signs that are definite giveaways that your man has the hots for somebody else.

Once you learn the signs that your man has a crush on another woman, you can use the knowledge to your advantage as you try to see if your man might be considering cheating on you.

The biggest signs your man has a crush on another woman

You definitely want to look out for these signs because they will tell you if your guy is just good friends with a girl or if he’s got a genuine crush on her.

1. He is giving another woman a lot of attention

This is one of the most obvious signs that your man has a crush on another woman. If you frequently see him chatting with the attractive, fit neighbor, it could definitely mean that he is interested in her.

Unless there is a distinct reason for your boyfriend to be chatting with the same hot female on a regular basis, the chances are that he is intentionally making the time to talk to her.

2. He doesn’t want you to see his phone

If he’s not wanting you to see his phone, it could easily mean that he has spicy material on there that he doesn’t want you to discover. Could it be one of the signs that your man has feelings for another girl?

Has he been texting the attractive girl he met at the gym? Has he been calling an old lover? Who knows? Definitely not you because he won’t ever let you near his phone – hence the justification for suspicion.

3. He is overly jumpy

Perhaps he has a crush on someone, and he is nervous that you will find out. This could definitely put him on edge.

If he jumps like a jack-in-the-box every time you mention something even remotely connected to his crush, he could quite possibly be hiding the feelings he has for a certain woman in his life – and it might not be you.

4. He makes less eye contact with you

If he has feelings for someone else, he may be experiencing guilt. That guilt may be preventing him from making proper eye contact with you.

In this circumstance, he probably doesn’t want you to bore deep into his soul and purge the information out of him with your eyes.

If he starts averting his gaze in the middle of a conversation or rocking sunglasses more in your presence, it may be a further effort to avoid eye contact.

5. You catch him checking out the same girl over and over

It may be a mutual friend, a pretty barista, or even his physical therapist.

Whatever the case, if you frequently see him checking her out, whether in person or on social media, it could definitely be more than an innocent look in her direction.

6. He seems less into you

This is definitely one of the signs that your man has a crush on another woman. It may present itself as a general feeling that he just isn’t as passionate about you as he once was.

You may not be able to pin it on any specific conversations or events, but you feel that his romantic energy is just not coming your way as much as it used to.

This could definitely mean that his interest is going elsewhere. Side note – it may be time to bust out some scandalous outfits to get his attention right back in your direction!

7. He is overly defensive

If your boyfriend has mood swings that resemble a male period, it could be that he is emotionally frustrated because he likes someone else. Not only does he have to repress his desire, but he also has to conceal it from you.

That emotional constipation can take its toll and lead to random hissy fits. This is one of the signs that your man has feelings for another girl.

Combine his frustration, a dash of guilt, and the tension of hiding his crush from you, and you’ve got the complete recipe for a guy who might suddenly explode over the smallest things.

8. He gives slight signs of physical affection to the same girl over and over

Examples of this may include putting his hand on her back as he lets her walk through the door or using any excuse to touch her, such as emphasizing a point with a gentle touch of the arm.

If you notice that he does this more with one girl than any other girl, including you you, then it can definitely be a red flag.

This may be the time for you to try to get some distance between your man and this woman. Maybe it’s the perfect time to set that woman up with a friend!

Setting her up with a friend can do two things. First, your guy may lose interest in her if she’s interested in someone else. Second, it might clue him into the fact that you’re on to him. KNOW MORE ABOUT SIGNS

9. He makes revealing Freudian slips

If you suspect that your man has a crush on your friend and he accidentally asks if you had “buns” instead of “fun” when you were out with her, it could be a giveaway.

Sometimes, it is simply impossible to censor all of your speech properly. You can use this fact to gain insight.

10. You just have a sneaking suspicion that he is becoming more interested in someone else

Sometimes, our intuition can pick up on things that our rational brain cannot. If you are suddenly starting to suspect that he is developing feelings for someone else, you could be correct.

Be careful about how you approach this, though, because if you have no evidence and you accuse him of being in love with someone else, it may not be received well. Sometimes the signs that your man has feelings for another girl can be confused, after all.

11. His behavior patterns have changed

Before you had the sneaking suspicion that your man had a crush on another woman, he was pretty predictable. He would come home from work at the same time every day. The two of you had your routine.

But if he’s suddenly making excuses for different things, like “going out with the boys,” that could be one of the bad signs that your man has a crush on another woman and is trying to hang out with her.

12. He’s vague or secretive

If he announces that he’s going for drinks with friends after work, but he doesn’t tell you with whom, he might be hanging out with another woman.

It’s even worse if you ask who he’s going with or if you can tag along, and he refuses to tell you or says that you can’t go.

13. You find him talking about the same woman a lot

Maybe he works with her. He might tell you all about her and what they do throughout the workday.

If you find that he’s talking about her a little too much, your man might be overcompensating for his crush. It might be to throw you off and make you think he has no feelings for her… but he does.

If he’s always talking about the same person, it’s one of the signs that your man has feelings for another girl.

14. Lack of communication

If you find that the two of you just don’t talk like you used to, it means that his attention might be going elsewhere.

His texts could be dwindling, or he might not want to engage in deeper conversation like he normally does. It could be because he’s thinking about someone else

15. It feels like he’s avoiding you

As mentioned above, you probably have some sort of routine with him. If you are asking him to hang out, go out on dates, or sleep over, he might be coming up with excuse after excuse to decline.

If it gets to the point that you feel like he may be trying to avoid spending too much time with you, maybe it’s one of the signs that your man has a crush on another woman.
