Does He Like Me or Am I Delusional? A Quick Quiz
Does he like me or am I delusional? The honest answer comes from what he does, not what he says once or what you hope it means. If he starts conversations, makes plans with you, and treats you differently from his other friends, it's probably real. If most of your evidence is one story view and a vibe, you might be a little delulu, and that's okay.

Delulu or real? How this quiz works
Quick slang note: delulu is short for delusional. It means believing something about your crush that isn't really backed up by evidence. "Delulu is the solulu" is the joke that being a bit delusional is the solution. Fun on TikTok. Less fun when you've planned the wedding and he's never asked you to hang out.
This does he like me quiz is different from personality quizzes because it only counts things you can actually point to. No "what's your star sign." Answer honestly. Nobody's watching.
For each question, score:
- 2 points = yes, clearly, more than once
- 1 point = sort of, or it happened once
- 0 points = no, or not that you can remember
The 15 questions
- Does he text or message you first at least some of the time?
- Has he asked to hang out one-on-one (not just in a group)?
- Does he remember small things you told him, like your test date or your dog's name?
- Does he reply in a way that keeps the conversation going, with questions back?
- Does he act differently around you than around other girls, like more nervous or more attentive?
- Has he complimented you on something specific, not just "nice pic"?
- Does he find reasons to be near you, sit next to you or walk with you?
- Has he asked if you're seeing anyone or what your "type" is?
- Do his friends act weird or tease him when you're around?
- Does he make plans and actually follow through?
- Does he notice when you're upset and check in?
- Has he made a move toward something more, even a small one (inside joke just for you, a nickname, "we should go there sometime")?
- Does he look at you a lot in a group, or look over when something funny happens?
- Does he talk to you consistently, not just when he's bored late at night?
- Has he said or done anything that literally only makes sense if he likes you?
Score it
Add up your points (max 30).
| Score | Verdict | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 22-30 | Not delulu | The signs are real. He probably likes you. |
| 14-21 | Promising, unclear | Some real interest, but could be friendly. Worth testing. |
| 7-13 | Mostly in your head | A few signs, a lot of hope. Possible, but don't bet on it yet. |
| 0-6 | Delulu (lovingly) | Right now, there isn't much evidence. That can change. |
This isn't science. It's a way to look at your evidence more honestly than your 1am brain does.
Signs that are real
These are the signs he likes you that actually hold up:
- He makes plans and keeps them. The strongest sign there is.
- He starts conversations without needing a reason.
- He remembers details. Attention is the clearest form of interest.
- He's consistent. Not hot one week, ghost the next.
- He makes small moves toward more: a private joke, a nickname, asking about your type.
- He checks in when you're having a bad day.
If his texts also feel warm (and you're not sure how to read them), it might help to see what it means when a guy calls you pretty.
Signs that are delulu (sorry)
These feel huge but usually mean very little on their own:
- He viewed your story. He views everyone's story. That's what the button is for.
- He liked a post. Same.
- He said hi in the hallway. That's manners.
- He replied to your text. Replying is the minimum.
- You had eye contact once. Eyes exist.
- He's nice to you. Is he nice to everyone? Then this isn't a sign.
- A friend said "I think he likes you." Unless the friend knows something specific, they're guessing too.
Is he flirting or just being nice? The difference is whether it's for you specifically. Nice is what he does for everyone. Interest is what he does extra for you.
This is where it gets hard to judge alone. When you like someone, every small thing looks like a sign. The Map helps you find where you actually stand with the person, so you're not running on hope and story views. Find where you stand
What to do with your result
If you scored 22-30
Stop waiting for a perfect moment. Make a plan or tell him. Here's how to confess to your crush over text with 25 ready-made texts.
If you scored 14-21
Test the water. Ask him to do something one-on-one: "wanna get food after school friday?" A quick, keen yes moves you up. A vague "maybe" tells you something too.
If you scored 7-13
Keep being friends and watch for a pattern over a few weeks. Don't build a whole story on one good day. Meanwhile, live your life. People are more interested in someone who has stuff going on.
If you scored 0-6
No shame. Crushes happen in your head first for everyone. You can keep the crush, just stop gathering "evidence" from story views. Or start putting your energy somewhere it's coming back.
When to just ask
At some point, the only way to know if he likes you or if it's all in your head is to ask. Good times to ask:
- You've been talking for a few weeks and it's consistent.
- You scored in the top two bands.
- The not-knowing is affecting your mood.
How to ask without dying inside: "random question but do you like me or am I making it up lol." Casual. Honest. Gives him an easy out either way.
If you're already deep into texting and wondering how long this phase should go on, see how long a talking stage should last.
So, does he like me or am I delusional? Count what he does, not what you hope. Then let the answer be the answer.

FAQ
How do I know if he likes me or if it's in my head?
Look for actions that are specifically for you: starting conversations, making one-on-one plans, remembering details. If your evidence is mostly story views and likes, it's more likely in your head.
Does he like me or is he just being nice?
If he's this nice to everyone, it's probably just kindness. If he goes out of his way for you in ways he doesn't for others, like checking in or making plans, that's more likely interest.
What does delulu mean?
Delulu is slang for delusional. It's used when someone believes their crush likes them, or that something will happen, without much real evidence. It's often said jokingly.
Is "delulu is the solulu" good advice?
As a joke, sure. A little confidence can help you shoot your shot. But if being delulu means ignoring clear signs he's not interested, it's going to hurt more later.
Is a does he like me quiz accurate?
No quiz knows him. What a good quiz does is make you look at your evidence honestly. The most accurate way to know is still to ask him.
