How To Know If A Quiet Guy Likes You นิยาย & เรื่องราว

“Everything was surface-level. Shallow. I prefer depth.” His words lingered. “Is that what this is?” she asked, half-teasing, half-testing. “Depth?” He leaned forward, voice low. “That depends on how honest you're willing to be.” The air between them tightened. She laughed it off, but it caught in her throat. “I’m not very mysterious,” she said. “Pretty boring, honestly.” “I don’t believe that,” he said. “Girls like you—quiet, observant, soft-spoken—you see everything. People mistake silence for simplicity. But I know better.”

“If she liked him like that, I’d know. She doesn’t get weird around him. She doesn’t avoid him. She doesn’t get quiet quiet.” Damian frowned. “Quiet quiet.” “That’s different from normal quiet,” Nikolai explained patiently. “Normal quiet is thinking. Quiet quiet is when she’s remembering something.” Damian’s grip tightened on the phone. “She remembers a lot,” he said. “Yeah,” Nikolai replied. “Stuff she doesn’t talk about.” A pause. Then Nikolai brightened suddenly. “Hey, can I ask you something?” “Yes.” “Are you asking because you’re worried he’ll marry her?”

"What kinds of things?" "Reassurance, mostly." She said it lightly, pleasantly, the tone of someone sharing practical information. "He's not built for it. He never has been. Verbal reassurance, emotional confirmation, those moments where a partner tells you directly what you mean to them." She smiled. "He prefers women who don't require it. That's not a criticism of him, it's simply how he's wired. And it works, for the right person." She held my gaze. "The wrong person spends a lot of time reading into silences. Looking for signals. Trying to decode what's being withheld." She exhaled. "That gets exhausting very quickly." The sentence landed with the precision of something thrown by a perso

like it was a love language. I didn’t hear him approach until he was beside me. “Hey,” he said, voice low. “You’ve been quiet.” I nodded. “Just thinking.” “Dangerous habit.” I smiled, but it didn’t reach my chest. He leaned against the tree beside me, arms crossed. “Can I ask you something?” I nodded again. “What’s going on between us?” I swallowed. “I don’t know.” “I do,” he said. “I like you, Gabby. I like the way you laugh when you’re surprised. I like how you listen with your whole face. I like that you challenge me.”

"That woman is the secret he's hiding in his heart." Sunny was starting to feel unsure. "There's one way you can test him." Sheila was curious. "How do I test him?" Sunny: "Throw the coat away and see what his reaction is. If he doesn't react, that means he likes you. But if he questions you, then it means he really is just treating you as a substitute." Sheila was hesitant. "Throw it away? What if he hates me?" Sunny: "Then hide it and pretend you threw it away. If he really cares, you can give it back to him."

I shake my head, but I’m still smiling when he leans closer. “You can write one too,” he murmurs. “Anything. No pressure.” I think for a second, then write mine. Carefully. Honestly. I don’t let him see. He doesn’t ask. He just watches me tuck it beside his. And then he says, softly, “I like doing things like this with you.” I blink. “What?” “This.” He looks around. “Doing something quiet. Sweet. Just us. You’re easy to be around.” I feel my heart do this tiny, giddy flip.

Another small silence stretches between us. Then she sighs. “Fine. Say it.” So I do. “I like you.” The words land in the quiet space between us. Not dramatic. Not exaggerated. Just simple truth. “I’ve liked you for a while,” I continued. “Probably longer than either of us planned. Probably even from the first time we met I knew I was attracted to you.” She doesn’t answer right away. For a second I wonder if the connection dropped. Then she exhales softly. “That’s inconvenient.”

“Of course. Keep it.” “Thanks.” “Leo?” “Yes?” “How do you flirt?” “Flirt?” “Yeah, to let a guy know you like him, and stuff.” “Well, guys can be pretty stupid when it comes to that. You almost have to hit them over the head with a stick.” “But, how do you do it?” “Oh, different ways. Smiling at them, touching them, looking into their eyes. Complementing them. Just being honest works best. Like, ‘Hey, I like you, want to go out?’”

I said putting my hand on my waist awaiting his response. "There is nothing going on between us, at least not at the moment" he responded, whispering the last part. "But you like her and from the look of things she seems to like you too" I stated, watching the way his eyes lit up. "You think so?" He asked with hope. "I think I know when a woman is interested in a guy and when she is not," I answered. "I don't think you know this time, because she keeps rejecting and fighting every advance I try to make, every time I get a chance she literally runs away" he complained.

She smiled at me. “My dear, you can’t always tell if a man loves you just by looking at him. But there are some things that can give you a sign of how he truly feels. First, does he listen to what you have to say and take your feelings into consideration? Does he attempt to spend time with you and show that he cares? And finally, does he make an effort to let you know he loves you in his own special way? If the answer to these questions is yes, then it’s likely that he loves you.” Grandma’s words of wisdom were just what I needed to hear, and I was grateful for her advice.
