how can you tell if the guy is courting you seriously or not?

You are obviously special to him. If he says he is not courting you then what is this he is doing? Best way to know is ask him.

well I would say he is in love with you and well if he want to marry you that would be hard to say as I don't know him the best that I can say is follow your heart good luck wish you the best

I think he likes you. You can see of his eyes and expression of how he sees you. He often looks at you with that look of 'love' and a big smile. His face lit up when he saw you. Just be warned, however, that sometimes a person is really shy he would try to hide his emotions so this sign alone may not be enough. And if he wants to see you or communicate with you as often as he can. He usually will want to often make plans to see you continually or eagerly waiting for you to make a plan (the latter if he's shy or playing hard to get).

He himself does not believe in such thing, so why believe it? Clearly he just wants something from you. I'm not sure but I'm a guy and so I can relate. Just be careful and always be sure of your decisions.

i think he is into you. even if he say's that he dont believe in such thing, maybe being sweet and taking time to text you and letting you know that he wont let you down is his way of expressing his feelings for you. boys nowadays dont usually use the word "courtship" they call it now "getting-to-know-each-other" thing.

the guy born to be sweet indeed,he just like that do not boost too much emotions on the way he treat you.

His actions speak louder or his sweet words? Looks like you need to test him ... I hope some myLotters here can give you some good ideas to find out his true intention. It is really a dilemma to think what a person real thoughts are so that we knew the truth and can make a wise decision. hope he is sincere and brave to admit that he loves you. May be he loves you but are not ready to commit or he worried he might be rejected by you.

He could be interested in you but is afraid of being rejected, that is why he deny his intention. Maybe you could just go out with him, and see how it goes. If it does not work out, at least you have make a friend.

It can depend on what he means by courting, and what you mean by courting. Because courting earlier in time meant more effort, always bringing flowers, staying around for the lady for sometimes years etc., and that kind of old romantic courting this guy finds outdated. He may not do those things that intentionally for getting you, but, you know, it can be that he does. If I were in your shoes, I would ask him directly about his feelings. If he says he doesn't love you or like you that, accept it... it's his own fault if he does like you, but is afraid to tell.

ask him if he is serious on what he's doing If he answer yes Then test him, let him do what ever he wants! Test him like it takes 1year, if he stay for so long, then he is serious, if one day he's gone, then he is not serious, Determining a guy if serious or not, is an hard way for girls part, im a guy, im also playing sometimes, im sweet, but sometimes I did take it a joke, or past time, but everytime im doing those things, im always saying to the girl that *hey im just kidding, im not serious* then afterwards, laughing, I just want the girl feels comportable with me,

He's really serious courting you when you see him do extra efforts to you. Things like he didn't do but he does just for you.

Behold, this thing is not love! if he really love you,he will wait until that precious night, if you allow him to steal you pride now, believe me he ll soon leave you for another babe, you rather be yourself, let me give you my own example.My wife did not allow me to have anything with her till we got married, that even makes me to trust believe and put all i have in her. learn from this.the choice is yours rather have it positively.

There are several things you can do. In psychology, the best prediction of people's behavior is from people's history. You can ask about his past or ask the people who knows him. Be careful, some people may take it as snooping. I have to warn you, we can only guess because we cannot read minds.
