How can you tell if a guy likes you?

I met this guy at a party, we met up for a date one time, and it was really great. But then he kind of disappeared. We keep running into each other at parties, but then it doesn't materialize into another date. Sometimes when we talk though I feel like he likes me, or am I just overthinking this?

If he likes you, he will make it clear, and he will ask you out.
Thanks. Yes, I finally asked him what he thinks about me over text, and he says he just sees me as a friend and I do not believe him. My other friend told me that he was on what appeared to be a 'date' with a female friend (not holding hands) last week at another event.

When I asked him about this person, he said he had been seeing her for a month or so. Then I was relieved, like okay, great. Now I know why he disappeared. I said I was happy for him.
Maybe he likes you or doesn't like you, but it is clear it is not enough to date you. Maybe he doesn't want to be awkward when he sees you around so is generally 'nice.'
He will reach out to you and try to get to know you better. He will pay attention to details, things you like or say. He will also be honest and let you know how he feels. He does not have to hide himself, or act a certain way to get a response from you. It will feel natural.
