How can I tell if he's humouring me or actually likes me back?

A female Ireland age 30-35, *inniegilly writes:

I've been seeing and texting a boy for about three months and think I really like him. We're both really busy on college internships and he spends weekends at home down the country while I spend them working a part-time job. I'm texting other lads as well but whenever I get a text from this guy, I smile before I even open it. The problem is he never texts or contacts me first which I'm really not use to. It makes me feel like I'm forcing myself on him or hassling him, I just don't. But whenever I do text, he replies almost instantly and he remembers little details from stories I told him weeks ago and buys me dinner and pays for my cinema ticket and stuff. Lately due to college, we haven't seen each other as much and I was feeling so uncertain that he was just humouring me by replying that I stopped texting him for a week. He responded to a snapchat I sent out generally and I caved and texted him a day or two later. He's as great as ever and does this thing now where a conversation might fizzle out but he'll reply to my last text that didn't need a reply a few days later as if he wants to talk to me but just refuses to actually text first. I don't know, I'm not used to this and overanalysing everything and I'm not sure I like how uncertain I feel but I think I really like this guy. How can I tell if he likes me?

Darling, when a guy dont initiate contact you it means your not on his mind.

If he respond to your text its because his just being nice.

I still believe that guys should initiate to contact us girls. However i dont recommend to assume he likes you more than friends so quickly.

Sometimes, people are just bored and they send a group message then talk to whoever. If he really likes you he will follow up the test by calling you.

Everyday. He will not text. But call and ask to see u again and again. Constant communication. If its not happening, you are just a good friend to him.

A guy who sincerely likes you cant help himself to talk to someone they fancy. No matter how shy he is since your giving him hints you like him by texting him first.

I just think that you should just be friends with tjis guy first. If he likes you time will reveal. But dont expect too much.

You can't really, OP because he's not really making any effort with you. I mean he could just be a person that replies quickly by default.

What I'd do if I were you is just not text him or contact him and see if he does it first.

Cool off completely and let him do all the texting first from now on, if he's interested he will, if not then you know?
