How to Tell if an Alpha Male Likes You: The Top 12 Signs

How does an alpha male treat his woman? What are alpha males attracted to? How can you tell if an alpha male likes you or not? These are the type of questions that women ask me all the time and I thought it would be best to answer them in one place, so let’s get into it!

1) He listens closely

An alpha male is a confident guy who’s comfortable in his own skin. That means he won’t waste time trying to make his date feel like she’s more important than him—he’ll make her feel special while keeping her ego in check. He listens attentively, showing how much he cares about what you have to say and responding accordingly.

2) He takes charge in conversation

An alpha male who likes you will be able to hold a conversation with you. This means he will be able to take charge of conversations by talking about topics that interest you and asking questions about your interests. He’ll also ask you to tell him more about yourself, so he can learn more about what makes you tick. If he does all these things, it’s likely that he has a crush on you!

3) He is protective

Alphas feel a deep instinctual need to protect. Don’t mistake that for overprotectiveness or controlling behavior—the intent is always caring and protective. Alphas feel a deep instinctual need to protect. Don’t mistake that for overprotectiveness or controlling behavior—the intent is always caring and protective. He has insecurities, too: Contrary to popular belief, alpha males aren’t infallible, confident superheroes. They have insecurities just like everyone else does; they just learn how to hide them better than most people do. An alpha male will be more likely than others to open up about his fears, vulnerabilities, and worries when he feels safe enough with you.

4) He challenges you

Are alpha males aggressive? Think about it. We all know how competitive alpha males can be. They want to win and get what they want, and as a result of that, they may turn into a little bit of jerk. There’s nothing wrong with their behavior; in fact, it’s good you have someone like that in your life! An alpha male will challenge you and push you out of your comfort zone, but he won’t do it maliciously or without reason. If he does something that makes you feel uncomfortable or upset, he probably didn’t mean to—he just wanted to see how far he could push himself.

5) He plays hard to get

Trying too hard is a major turn-off for alpha males. If he isn’t calling you after your first date, don’t be too disappointed—this means he likes you and will be interested in seeing you again. However, once he does call or text, it’s important not to push him away with nonchalant responses—as tempting as that may be. He can smell desperation from a mile away, and will immediately lose interest. Be aloof but warm at all times.

6) He's open about his feelings

When you’re talking with an alpha male, he’ll typically be open about how he feels. He doesn’t feel guilty for expressing his true thoughts and feelings (although it can sometimes get him into trouble). Of course, each individual is different, but one thing that all alpha males seem to have in common is a very low tolerance for BS. In other words, they call things as they see them. If something isn’t right, they say so. If someone has done something wrong, they won’t hesitate to let them know.

7) He isn't afraid of commitment

An alpha male knows what he wants. He isn’t afraid of commitment. While there are many types of alpha males, one thing they all have in common is that they know what they want and aren’t afraid to go after it – including you. If you make him feel good, he’ll commit, so it’s in your best interest to try and please him by demonstrating how amazing you are.

8) His body language towards you is welcoming

Every relationship has its ups and downs, but an alpha male is committed 100 percent of the time. His body language towards you is welcoming and inviting. He will not hesitate to make himself comfortable around you even in your own home. He will sit on your couch or lie down on your bed without a second thought. If he doesn’t do that, it’s a sign that he’s still unsure about his feelings for you.

When he tells you how beautiful you are: An alpha male wants nothing more than to let his woman know how much she means to him. When he looks at her with those eyes filled with love and admiration, she knows she’s special because no one else makes him feel that way.

9) He makes physical contact with you often

A true alpha male may express his interest in you by making physical contact with you often. This is a clear sign that he likes you and wants to show others that he has chosen you as his mate. By being physically affectionate, he not only makes it clear that he’s interested in starting a relationship with you, but also draws attention from other males who have their eye on his territory.

10) He adores your company

As mentioned earlier, Alphas are competitive by nature and one of their biggest insecurities is that they won’t be able to find a good mate. Their drive and sense of power gives them high confidence levels, but they lack in terms of social skills and strong relationships with other people. So when they find someone that can challenge them intellectually, make them laugh, but who also respects and understands their value—they will do everything possible to impress you. 

11) An alpha male will take the risk of rejection and failure to make sure the woman they like knows they like her. No matter what happens in the end.

Alpha males are in constant pursuit of challenges and opportunities. They want their lives to be adventurous, with a lot of variety and changes. If something is not interesting or challenging enough for them, they move on and look for something more stimulating. That includes relationships! If your life is too boring, or you fail to provide a challenge, they may leave you just as quickly as they entered your life.. Alpha males like women who aren’t afraid of making their own decisions.

12) He always pushes you to be the best version of yourself.

He always pushes you to be your best self, but never in a way that’s harmful or damaging. He wants you to be happy and successful, whether it’s as a mom, a writer, or even as a student. After all, he loves what makes you who you are. He appreciates women with big goals and ambitions. He likes a woman who knows what she wants out of life and isn’t afraid to go after it.
