As one of the most mysterious zodiac signs, an Aquarius man can be hard to read—so how can you tell if he likes you or not? An Aquarius man will do his own thing, but if he’s into you, he’ll go out of his way to step out of routine. To make things a little easier, we’ve compiled a list of signs an Aquarius man likes you.
1
He has a sudden interest in you.
An Aquarius man will do anything to hang out with you if he likes you. He is most likely extremely social and loves hanging out in big groups. If he likes you, he may take the time to pull you away from the group to spend time alone with you. This is a huge step for him because he is moving away from his comfort zone. He wants to learn more about you outside of a group setting.[1]
- Go out with him and have fun! Even if you’re not sure if he likes you, hang out with him in a group of friends and see if he takes the extra time to talk to you alone.
- He may send you a text while you’re with friends saying, “Hey” or “You look nice tonight 😉” If you like him back, be bold with a text back asking if he wants to go somewhere alone to talk.

2
He wants to be your best friend.
An Aquarius man wants a relationship that’s more than sexual. Forming a friendship with you first is essential for him, so he’ll do whatever it takes to be your special someone, even if it’s just platonic.[2] Is he the first one there when you need a ride? Is he always there to give you a hug when you need it? A quickly growing friendship is a sign that he likes you.[3]
3
He flirts with you when no one’s looking.
An Aquarius man is rather clever and won’t show he likes you immediately. He won’t start flirting with you in front of a large group. He’ll save those winks and compliments for when no one else is looking. Flirting behind closed doors might be a sign that he likes you but isn’t ready to get too serious just yet.[4]
- Make a move if he flirts once everyone else’s back is turned. Grab his hand or whisper a compliment in his ear when no one’s looking.
- He may use humor as a crutch when he’s nervous and start playing a game or crack a joke to try and make you laugh.[5]
- Lean into his quirks if you’re into him! Laugh at his jokes and don’t be afraid to take the first step.

He asks you if you want to hang out.
An Aquarius man seeks constant social stimulation, and he won’t ask just anyone to chill with him alone. He craves attention from others even if he outwardly doubts it, and when he’s alone, he’d prefer to be with his thoughts. Inviting you to hang out without any other friends could be a sign he likes you because he’s letting you into his bubble.[6]
- Aquarians are notorious for being movie lovers. If he asks you to watch a movie with him, chances are he likes you.[7] He’s wanting to share an interest and possible vulnerability with you.[8]
5
He has more confidence when you’re around.
Having you near him will cause him to do crazy things. Aquarians thrive in social circles and are attracted to those who may be very different from them. When he’s around you, he may have the sudden urge to take an interest in your unique hobby or flaunt his own skills. He wants to impress you with his intelligence, giving him a burst of confidence that can hardly be ignored.[9]
- Share your hobbies and passions with him.[10] If he suddenly takes an interest, teach him how to do something.
- Fueling his confidence will help him feel safer around you, eventually leading to him getting the courage to tell you how he really feels.

6
He gives up his free time just to be around you.
An Aquarius man will spend every waking moment with you if he likes you. He’s got his day planned out, all from the moment he wakes up to the second he falls asleep. He’s thought of everything, and that includes you. If he starts using his free time to hang out with you rather than focusing on his own hobbies, he likes you.[11] He will move away from his schedule and sacrifice his free time just to be with you.[12]
7
He introduces you to his family.
Sharing a part of himself as big as his family can mean he likes you. Aquarians are not typically personable. You could know them for years and still know nothing about their personal lives.[13] If he introduces you to his family, he’s revealing the deepest parts of himself. You’re special in his eyes because he won’t let just anyone meet his family.[14]
- He fears being misunderstood and having his self-image tarnished. By introducing you to his family, he’s pushing past his fear of being judged by you and his family—he trusts you wholeheartedly.[15]

8
He opens up with you personally.
An Aquarius man will rarely talk about anything personal. The meaningful things in life take a backseat with him, especially when it comes to his past and emotions. If he starts opening up to you about who he is, he may like you.[16]
- Share more about yourself in response. He wants to have a great, open conversation with you, so talk about your values and interests. Get to know him personally by sharing more about you.
9
He’s talkative when he’s around you.
Talking is an Aquarius man’s speciality and his nerves will have him yapping if he likes you. When an Aquarius gets nervous, they talk even more so than usual. Does he go on and on about his day when you’re around? Does he have to be the first one to tell you a story when you arrive? If he seems to be the only person in the room despite a large group, chances are he thinks you’re beyond great.[17]
- He may forget to ask you questions if he’s nervous. Calm his butterflies and add a little bit about your day into the conversation. Giving him a chance to slow down will help him realize he’s safe talking to you.

10
He asks you a lot of questions to get to know you.
An Aquarius man wants to know more than just your interests. He wants to learn all about the experiences you’ve had and the opinions you’ve developed. He may ask you questions that go beyond “What’s your favorite color?” to get a better understanding of who you are as a person.[18]
- Small talk isn’t really his thing, so try asking him deeper questions too. He values conversations that aren’t “typical.”
- Try asking him, “If you could host a dinner party with anyone in the world, who would you invite?” or, “If you could have one superpower, what would it be?”[19]
- Play a game of 20 Questions to learn more about each other. He wants to know more about you, and the chances are you want to know more about him.[20]
11
He takes steps to make you feel wanted.
Going the extra mile to show you he cares can mean he likes you. An Aquarius man is most likely kind already, but he will take that kindness to another level if he has an interest in you. Maybe he sends a special text each day asking how you’re doing, or he sends you a surprise gift just to get you to smile. His caring personality will shine bright if he has feelings for you.[21]
- He won’t say he likes you upfront, claiming the extra kind treatment is just because you’re a great friend. You’ll need to drag it out of him!
- Let him know how you feel about him to get him to spill and tell you how he really feels.
