58 body language secrets that will tell you if he wants to get with you or get the hell away from you

There’s no question that trying to figure out if a guy is into you or not is mind-numbingly difficult.

It’s so hard to tell if someone likes you that some women have avoided dating for years. How can you tell? How do you know? What if you are wrong?

It’s all just a little too much to even think about enjoying the prospect of meeting someone new.

Sometimes it all comes down to the body language of men.

Here are 58 body language clues that say he’s interested in you – definitely. So you can stop wondering and start doing something about it.

Body language of men in love: 58 clues he’s interested

1) Eyebrow Raise

If a man cocks his eyebrows at you, it means you intrigue him. It’s a classic male body language sign of attraction.

2) Parting Lips

He’s imagining himself moving in for the kiss. Plus, it makes him look more “open” to you, so he can appear more approachable.

3) Flaring Nostrils

This is a primal instinct that has hung around since the stone age – when men get excited their nostrils flare.

4) Showboating

If he’s showing off in front of you, he’s definitely interested. Peacocking, showboating, showing off: whatever you call it, he’s putting on that show for you.

5) Grooming

A man who likes you will constantly fix his tie, jacket, and shirt to make sure he is presentable to you. It’s actually called preening, and it’s common body language from a guy that likes you.

6) Fixing His Hair

Playing with his hair? Oh yeah, he’s into you. Men will continue to “groom” themselves to show you that they want to look their best just for you.

7) Wide Open Eyes

In addition to raised eyebrows, men who are interested in you will listen with their eyes wide open as if to take more of you in. It’s a good sign that he’s a good listener for your own future reference.

8) Fixing his Socks

It seems funny but watch to see if a man adjusts his socks. He’ll leave no part of him lagging behind if he’s got a thing for you.

9) Standing Tall

Another primal male body language sign of attraction: men like to show off their stature as a way to win over a woman. He’ll be sticking his chest out, and his hips will be square, and he’ll stand every chance he gets to show you his body.

10) Checking out the Goods

If you are still wondering if you likes you, watch to see if he checks out your body. He will. They all do, so don’t get offended.

11) Spread Legs

Men have a funny way of showing women that they are interested in them; for example, men will sit across from you with their legs spread wide open as if to show you their crotch. Weird, but true.

12) Hands on Hips

Power posing is a thing men do all the time subconsciously. Like standing tall, they want to make sure you see the best side of them.

13) Playing with His Clothes

If he’s nervous because he likes you, he’ll fix his shirt over and over again, and he might even button and unbutton his jacket to try to release some nervous energy.

14) Touching His Face

When men are excited their faces because more tingly and he’ll start to touch his face and lips in a subconscious way. This could also indicate that he’s nervous (perhaps because he likes you) or he’s interested in you as touching one’s face is a male body language sign of attraction.

15) Fiddle with his Glass

More nervous energy trying to make its way out of the body, men will play with anything around them to let the energy out: glass, bottle, watch, keys.

16) Leaning In

This is an obvious body language of men in love sign. He’ll sit on the edge of his seat while he talks to you and he’ll lean in to let you know that you are interesting to him. Don’t be weirded out by this; he’s genuinely interested in listening to you.

17) Touching Your Back

If you walk near each other, he’ll place his hand near the small of your back to guide you through a noisy party or bar. Plus, he wants to show all the other men that he’s got this. Plus, it’s a reason to touch you and seem like a gentleman all at the same time.

18) Offers His Coat

Offering you his coat is just one small way he can show you that he’s interested in you.

Anything he does that puts himself out, like offering you his food, a ride home, or walking you to the bus, will let you know that he’s definitely interested in you because he’s putting your needs before his own.

19) His smile says it all

This is a clear body language of men falling in love sign. If he is always smiling at you and smiling when you look at him, there’s a pretty good chance he likes you.

If you get that warm, fuzzy feeling when you catch him smiling, it’s a sure thing.

20) He locks eyes with you as much as possible 

You might be having the time of your life across the room, but when you look in his direction, it’s all eyes on you. He can’t take his eyes off you.

You can just tell that his belly laugh is genuine and whether you are laughing together or he is laughing at something you said, it’s the real thing.

24) He struts his stuff on the field

If you find your crush on the field throwing a football or frisbee, he’ll suddenly be much more aggressive and competitive with his buddies. It’s a guy thing.

25) He takes the time to fix his clothes and hair when you come around

43) He is shying away from you

How to Tell a Man’s Personality From His Body Language

There’s no question that men’s body language is difficult to read. Most of us are used to focusing on the words of what someone says and making evaluations from there.

But with little pointers, you can learn a lot about a person from the way they stand to the way they shake your hand.

So if you want to know what a particular man is really like, all you have to do is look for these 5 things.

Because after all, it can be easy to tell if a man likes you through their body language, but is it really the man you’re looking for?

Here’s what to look out for:

Posture and stance

1) A dominant, controlling pose

The shoulders and hips will be pulled back and the stomach, chest and neck will be uncovered. The chest will be pushed out. Arms may be further away from their stomach than average.

If you notice this, it might mean that the man is an alpha. He likes to control and be a leader. However, be warned. He may also be aggressive and controlling.

2) An aggressive or angry stance

The legs are usually closer together, with a dominant leg in front. The head and chin may tilt forward and the upper body isn’t afraid to get close to other people.

They may also have their stomach and chest in like they’re getting ready for battle. This pose indicates that they are aggressive and intense. They may even be passionate as well.

3) A defensive or worried stance

The body will be directed away from other people. Feet will usually be pointed towards the door.

Arms and legs will be kept closer to the body and shoulders will hunch over to protect its body.

Handshakes

However, some men’s stances might give you mixed signals. It can be easier to look at hands and gestures. Here’s what to look for:

1) A dominant handshake

If a man handshakes you with the palm downward, forcing your hand to turn upward to meet it, they’re trying to be dominant.

It can be a good handshake and shows that they like to take control. However, if it’s with a too strong of a grip, it can be offensive. Might be better to stay away if that’s the case.

2) A submissive handshake

This is the opposite, with his palm faced upward so you’re forced to go downward. It may put you at ease, or is even be sincere if he is apologizing. However, it is a slightly weaker posture so you might not be looking for that kind of guy.

3) Two handed shakes.

This is where the second-hand cups the outside of the handshake. This man is trying hard to build a connection. In most cases, a little too hard.

But if the situation calls for it, it can show he is an emotional and sincere guy.

4) The normal handshake.

This is where the hands are even and it’s not up or down. It doesn’t reveal much about a man’s personality, but it does show that he is not trying to be weak or strong, which is a good sign. He might just be normal!

How to read the eyes

1) Blinking is generally a reaction to stress, especially if it’s short, fast blinks. It may also indicate they are struggling to stay focused or awake.

2) If their eyes are scanning your whole face when you’re talking, it’s likely genuine. They are actually listening to you. There could also be an intimate connection.

3) If it is focused on one point and they don’t move their gaze, then they are likely keeping attention out of politeness.

4) If they are looking at the top half of your face, it implies that he feels dominant over you.

5) People who are talking to themselves when looking at you will look sideways every now and then.

Mood signals 

1) Gestures like crossed arms or protecting their body indicate that they are closed to revealing too much about themselves, or they are slightly agitated.

2) Aggressiveness is often portrayed in fast movements and invading other people’s space.

3) Alpha qualities are often exhibited by open body language like a puffed out chest, spread arms and legs and raised chin. This signals they are very confident.

Keep in mind that these body language signals can be faked. And they are not always accurate. But they are interesting and they might give you some clues as to the type of person you’re dealing with.

What does it mean if a guy adjusts himself in front of you?

This a difficult one, but a question that many people ask, particularly women.

And fair enough, it can be quite awkward when a man adjusts himself in his “area” when he is in front of you.

The first thing to note is that:

– It can occasionally get itchy down there in a man’s “area” so it doesn’t mean they’re touching that area because they’re attracted to you.

– On occasions, it can be become out of position, so it’s natural for a man to readjust to simply be more comfortable.

– Many men tend to do this absent mindlessly. In fact, most apes tend to do it. Of course, that doesn’t make it okay.

– They’re most likely not attracted to you, however, it’s just plain rude. You might want to say something like “excuse me” to let them know. They’ll likely be embarrassed and won’t do it again.

Basically, readjusting themselves in front of you is not okay. It’s akin to picking their nose in front of you. Does anyone do that? No! So they shouldn’t do this, either.

The strangest thing men desire

Have you ever felt attracted to a guy without knowing why?

Maybe you’ve even had feelings for someone you’d rather not be attracted to. How can you fall in love even though your conscious mind resists it?

Experiences like these hint at the hidden world driving our feelings of romantic attraction. That hidden world is all about emotional reactions. Emotional reactions we don’t consciously control.

The truth is, falling in love is not something we choose to do. It’s more like getting thirsty. You don’t choose to get thirsty. You just notice it. And the stronger your thirst becomes, the harder it gets to ignore.

In this excellent free video, relationship expert James Bauer reveals a kind of relationship “thirst” all men experience. One that’s impossible for him to quench on his own.

You’ll learn how to trigger this thirst and ultimately make him want to be in a committed relationship with you.

Although you may not realize this, men want to be in a deep romantic relationship as much as women do. We just need this very particular relationship desire met.
