p Okay, so you’re crushing on a boy, and he’s got a Snapchat. Welcome to the modern age of romance! Figuring out if someone likes you via Snapchat can feel like cracking a secret code. But don’t worry; I’m here to help you decipher those snaps and stories. It’s not an exact science, but there are definitely clues you can look for. Let’s dive in! /p
p b 1. Frequency and Consistency of Snaps /b /p
p This is your starting point. How often does he Snapchat you? And is there a pattern? /p
p b Detailed Steps: /b /p
ol
li b Track the Snaps: /b Keep a mental (or actual) note of how often he sends you snaps. Is it daily? Weekly? Only when he’s bored? Consistent communication is a good sign. /li
li b Initiation: /b Who usually starts the conversations? If he’s almost always the one reaching out first, it’s a strong indicator of interest. If you’re always initiating, he might just be responding out of politeness. /li
li b Time of Day: /b When does he usually snap you? Snaps late at night (but not *too* late, proceed with caution if it’s only booty-call hours) or first thing in the morning can suggest you’re on his mind. /li
li b Consistency Over Time: /b Has his snapping frequency increased, decreased, or stayed the same over the past few weeks or months? A gradual increase is a promising sign. /li
/ol
p b What it Means: /b /p
ul
li b High Frequency & Consistent Initiation: /b He’s likely interested. /li
li b Low Frequency & You Always Initiate: /b He might not be interested romantically. He might see you as a friend or acquaintance. /li
li b Inconsistent Frequency: /b Could mean he’s busy, unsure, or playing it cool. Requires more investigation! /li
/ul
p b 2. The Content of His Snaps /b /p
p This is where you analyze the *what* of his snaps. Are they just random pictures of his ceiling, or are they more engaging? /p
p b Detailed Steps: /b /p
ol
li b Are They Just ‘Snaps’ or Actual Conversations?: /b Does he just send you pictures with a blank background, or does he add text, questions, or emojis that invite a response? The more effort he puts into the snap, the better. /li
li b Personal vs. Generic Snaps: /b Does he send you snaps that are clearly meant only for you, or could he send the same snap to anyone? Personalized snaps show he’s thinking of *you* specifically. /li
li b Humor and Playfulness: /b Does he try to make you laugh? Does he tease you in a lighthearted way? Humor is a common flirting tactic. /li
li b Sharing His Interests: /b Does he share things he’s passionate about with you? Like a new song he’s discovered, a book he’s reading, or a video game he’s playing? This shows he wants to connect with you on a deeper level. /li
li b Asking Questions: /b Does he ask you about your day, your interests, your opinions? Asking questions is a surefire way to keep the conversation going and show he’s interested in getting to know you. /li
li b Compliments (Subtle or Direct): /b Keep an ear (or an eye) out for compliments. They don’t have to be over-the-top. A simple “Cute filter on you!” or “That’s a cool shirt” can be a sign. /li
/ol
p b What it Means: /b /p
ul
li b Engaging Content, Personalization, Humor, Questions: /b High likelihood of romantic interest. /li
li b Generic Snaps, No Conversation Starters: /b Less likely to be romantically interested, but could still be friendly. /li
/ul
p b 3. Snapstreak Dynamics /b /p
p The infamous Snapstreak! While maintaining a streak doesn’t automatically equate to love, it can still offer some insights. /p
p b Detailed Steps: /b /p
ol
li b Does He Prioritize the Streak?: /b Does he make sure to send you a snap every day, even if he’s busy? If he’s consistently prioritizing the streak, it means he values staying connected with you, even in a small way. /li
li b Beyond the Streak Snap: /b Does he send you *just* a streak snap (e.g., a picture of his ceiling with the word “streak”) or does he send you something more meaningful along with it? If it’s just a streak snap, it might not mean much. But if he’s adding to it, it’s a good sign. /li
li b Loss of Streak Reaction: /b If the streak breaks, how does he react? Does he seem genuinely upset, or does he not even mention it? If he’s bothered, it means he values the connection you had. /li
/ol
p b What it Means: /b /p
ul
li b Prioritizes Streak & Adds to It: /b Could be interested, but it’s not a guarantee. Look for other signs. /li
li b Just Streak Snaps: /b Probably just sees you as a friend or someone to keep a streak with. /li
li b Bothered by Loss of Streak: /b Shows he values the connection. /li
/ul
p b 4. His Snapchat Story /b /p
p Pay attention to what he posts on his story. Does he ever try to get your attention specifically? /p
p b Detailed Steps: /b /p

li b Does He Mention You?: /b Does he ever mention you directly in his story, even in a subtle way? For example, if you told him you were going to a concert, does he post a story mentioning the band? /li
li b Responding to Your Stories: /b Does he frequently reply to your stories? This is a good sign he’s paying attention to what you’re doing and wants to engage with you. /li
li b “Subtle” Hints: /b Is he posting things that seem like they’re designed to get your attention? For example, if you’re known to like a certain type of music, does he suddenly start posting about it? /li
li b Showing Off: /b Is he posting things that make him look good, like pictures of him working out or doing something impressive? He might be trying to impress you. /li

li b Vulnerability: /b Does he ever open up to you about his feelings, his worries, or his dreams? Sharing vulnerability is a sign of trust and intimacy. /li
