If a guy asks you a lot of questions does he like you

A guy who is interested tends to come back to things you said. He will ask how the thing you mentioned went, or bring up the dog you talked about on Tuesday. That kind of recall is hard to fake across many chats, and it is the strongest signal in this situation. Count how often he asks about something you actually said versus how often he moves to a new topic with no link to what you wrote.

Also look at what he gives back. Interest usually runs both ways, so a man who is curious about you will sooner or later answer his own questions, tell you a story, or share an opinion. If every exchange is you disclosing and him collecting, the questions are doing the work a conversation should be doing. Note whether the questions are about you, about the two of you, or about nothing in particular.

Finally, check whether the pattern moves toward meeting. Questions that are a bit of a warm up for a plan are different from questions that replace one. Someone who has been asking for weeks and never suggests a time is telling you something, even if the individual messages are kind.

Three kinds of reply fit this situation. The first is a short factual answer with one detail attached, which keeps the pace and gives him a specific thing to react to. A draft is this kind when it answers the question directly and includes one concrete piece of your life. It should leave out any self-deprecating aside meant to soften the answer, and it should not be longer than his question.

The second kind turns the question back on him in a way that is about something he already brought up. This works when he has shared something about himself that you can build on. You can tell a draft is this kind because it names a detail from his side of the chat. It should leave out a generic "what about you" tacked onto the end, since that is the very pattern you are trying to break.

The third kind is a light observation or a bit of humor that changes the register without answering the question at all. It fits when the questions have become a rhythm and you want to see whether he can speak in statements. It should be short, should not mock him, and should not depend on him having understood an inside joke he has not earned yet.

Timing tells you almost as much as content. If he sends a long run of questions late at night and then goes quiet until the next evening, that rhythm is about his evenings, not necessarily about you. Reply in the same part of the day he usually writes, and do not feel obliged to answer within minutes, because a steady pace is easier to read than a flurry.

If you have replied and he does not come back for a day or two, do not send a second batch of questions to fill the gap. Let the thread sit. If he returns with a fresh question, answer it normally. If he goes silent for most of a week after a run of messages, that silence is information about how much he was investing, and one short check in is enough. A line that is warm and makes no demand, sent once, is a fair follow up.

Stop when the pattern stops giving you anything back. If after two or three weeks you still cannot name one thing he has offered about himself, one plan he has proposed, or one time he came back to something you said, the questions were probably the whole relationship so far. At that point, a direct question about meeting is the only thing that will tell you more than another day of messages.
