How to Tell if a Sagittarius Man Likes You

Last Updated: March 17, 2023 References

Sagittarians are naturally magnetic extroverts, so you may be questioning this fire sign’s feelings for you. Does he really like you or is he just the life of the party? You don’t want to be let down if he’s not interested or, alternatively, lead him on if he’s actively swooning and you’re the one who isn’t feeling it. Here are some tell-tale signs that a Sagittarius man is crushing on you because sometimes it’s too hard to leave it to the stars.

This article is based on an interview with our astrologer and performance artist, Angel Eyedealism. Check out the full interview here.

1

You make him laugh.

It takes someone super sharp and quick-witted to make this sign LOL. Sagittarius’ ruling planet is cheerful Jupiter, so he is probably used to being the funniest guy in any room. If you catch him giggling uncontrollably at all of your jokes, there’s a chance he’s smitten.^{[1]

- Do you ever notice the banter between you two just comes naturally? You don’t see him that way with anyone else. For instance, maybe you stay up late cracking jokes over text or completely lose yourself in a conversation with him while you’re with friends.

2

He’s extremely honest with you.

Sagittarians rarely bite their tongue. It’s often considered one of this sign’s most problematic personality traits as their need to always tell the truth can easily hurt other people’s feelings. But in some cases, it is this Sagittarius man’s way of opening up and showing what you mean to him.^{[2]

- On the flip side, if he doesn’t have feelings for you and thinks you have feelings for him, he would have already cut you loose.

3

He’s eager for you to meet those close to him.

Sagittarians only bring someone around their friends and family if they're serious about them. These signs are always chasing change, so taking any steps toward stability can be frightening to him.^{[3]

- Are you regulars at bar trivia? Have you taken a cooking or painting class together? Does he invite you to museums or art galleries? Your quest for knowledge is undoubtedly one of his favorite things about you.

8

He’s the first to reach out after a long time apart.

For most Sagittarians, the thrill is primarily in the chase. They flirt, they schmooze, and then they get restless. So if he texts you after you haven’t spoken for a while, it’s likely he’s interested in you.^{[12]

- Although they usually mean well, Sagittarians struggle with consistency. So it says a lot if he’s going out of his way to maintain a strong connection. You may be out of his sight, but you are certainly not out of his mind.

9

He wants to involve you in things he’s interested in.

There is a distinct twinkle in his eye when he discusses topics he’s passionate about. Truth be told, you may find him explaining these interests in great detail more captivating than the interests themselves. But that’s okay. He doesn’t mind. He loves your ability to ask questions and show how much you care.^{[13]

Well, they want somebody who gives them space. If you trust them enough for that, they will come closer. Try micromanaging them in any way, though, and you're doomed to fail.
