A guy just called you sexy—does that mean he’s into you? Or is he just objectifying you? When a guy calls you “sexy,” it could mean many things. Perhaps he thinks you’re hot, attractive, or confident, or maybe he’s feeling flirtatious. We’re here to break it all down and help you figure out what he really means. Plus, we’ll even cover how to respond if you liked his comment (or if you didn’t).
Things You Should Know
- A guy will likely say you’re “sexy” if he’s physically attracted to you or admires your confidence.
- A guy might also call you “sexy” as a pet name or way to gauge your romantic interest in him.
- Respond to being called “sexy” by returning the compliment, kissing him, or sharing whether or not you like the term.
