When you don’t have a history of talking to guys for hours on the phone, there is a justifiable reason to believe that you actually like this guy.

That said, be sure you aren’t overanalyzing this instead of acknowledging that this guy is merely a welcome relief from a long bout of loneliness and boredom.

It’s possible that if you have been lonely and bored for a while, the first guy who is capable of engaging in fun conversation with you could give you a false impression that you actually like him.

When in fact, the reason for the hours-long conversations has more to do with finally having met a guy who doesn’t bore you in conversation.

To figure out for certain that you actually like him, don’t simply look at the number of hours you talk to him on the phone; assess the content of your conversations with him too.

Conversations that are primarily about work and who annoyed you on any given day or the minutiae of what you did with your time on any given day, with a sprinkling of humor, aren’t a strong indication that you actually like him.

Whereas conversations that are layered with a combination of levity, gravity, and sensuality are far more of an indication that you actually like him.

When there is levity, you talk about a funny moment you experienced alone or shared with a close friend or family member.

When there is gravity, you talk about moments in your life where you suffered through a traumatic experience, whether it be one that directly affected you or a friend or family member.

When there is sensuality, there is flirting and teasing as a constant fixture of your conversations with each other.

Sometimes, the flirting and teasing border on the explicit, but either of you pushes the pause button when it feels like things are going too far.

Yet, there is a part of you that wanted to go further in these moments in conversation as you could feel yourself getting really turned on.

Taking into account the content of your hours-long conversations with him is extremely pertinent.

It’s not just enough to talk to a guy for hours on the phone and prematurely conclude that you must like him.

If you have had an extended period of time where you have struggled to meet a guy who was capable of engaging with you in sustained and enjoyable conversation, this guy may simply be a relief.

Nonetheless, it doesn’t mean that the hours-long conversations are an automatic indication that you actually like him.

Sometimes, it’s just a guy that is fun to talk to, and nothing really comes of it.

Ergo, the content of the hours-long conversations you have with him is absolutely relevant and worthy of being examined before drawing any conclusions about whether you actually like him.

A combination of lighthearted, heavy, and sensual beats to the conversations you have with him are the genuine indicators that you actually like him.
