Hidden Ways To See A Guys Likes You (Even When They Say They Don’t!)
By Erin Elizabeth
How can you see if a guy shows he likes you through his subconscious body language signs?
Most of us have surely experienced getting mixed signals from a person we like. And it sucks. It really does. It is so hard figuring out whether or not we stand a chance with someone. One day he is sweet, the next day he is distant. How do you get out of this dilemma?
The first thing to do is to try decoding his body language. Most of the time, men send out subconscious signals that they are also not aware of. He might be saying things that contradict his actions. The most common reason for this is that he might not yet be ready to tell you how he feels. Nevertheless, you can still try figuring him out on your own.
Here are 10 subconscious signs that can mean a guy likes you through body language:
1. Proximity
When a guy is talking to a girl he likes, he tends to unconsciously keep a close distance. This signals that he likes your presence and is establishing a deeper connection with you. This is initial intimacy. He wants to let you know that he is safe to be with and wants you to enjoy his company as much as he enjoys yours.
2. Eye Contact
Eye contact can tell you so much about a person’s sincerity. If he keeps locking eyes with you, it means that he is comfortable with himself and is not hiding anything from you. Studies also show that when the pupils are dilated, it means interest. However, it is also important to know that no eye contact does not always mean disinterest, it could also be because of shyness or intimidation. Be the judge!
3. Gestures
Making a lot of hand gestures is also a sign of comfortability. It means that he wants to express himself better and want to communicate openly with you. Stiffness on the other hand can give a vibe of awkwardness and even discomfort.
Simple contact like going in for the high-five, tapping your shoulder or even assisting you can be signs that he really is interested. Another thing to notice is that when you see that his palms are facing upwards when you converse, it can show openness. When palms are facing downwards or are kept down to his thighs, it could mean disinterest.
5. Full Attention
A guy who likes you will always give you his undivided attention. Consequently, he will also make you feel that he wants your full attention as well. He will constantly do or say things that will elicit a reaction from you.
6. Mirroring
When we like the person we are talking to, we have the tendency to mirror their mannerisms as well. This is not a form of mimicking, but rather a telltale sign that he is unconsciously getting in sync with you. It can be because he feels very much comfortable with you.
7. Light Atmosphere
He will also try to keep the atmosphere to a light one. He will not force you to open up about things you are not comfortable of. His goal is not to know all your secrets but to just let you know that he enjoys talking to you. Sometimes, he just wants to see you smile or laugh.
8. Best of Him
Showing you the best version of him is certainly not a bad thing. It is not that he is pretending, it’s just that he just naturally wants to impress you. He will show you that he is a man of manners and might even use highfalutin words just to harmlessly make him sound smarter.
9. Lip-Licking
Now this one is a little bit tricky. It can be a genuine sign of interest or a sexual cue. But you would know which is which as you observe him. Lip-licking is known to be a sign of emotional connection and attention.
10. Special Treatment
Lastly, when a guy gives you a special treatment, you can almost be sure that he is interested in you. He can be a nice guy overall, but if he does extra things for you or has a soft spot for you, then it means that he wants you to know that you are not just a simple friend or colleague for him.
Because men are naturally not expressive, subtle hints are very important in trying to figure them out. Above are just ten signs of interest but there can be a whole lot more. From hesitating to say goodbye or never checking his phone when with you, the clues are literally around you. You just have to be very observant. Always try to recognize everything, even the least obvious behavior.
However, it is also important to take everything with a grain of salt. Do not recklessly jump into a conclusion without considering everything. While these subconscious signs are usually correct, you have to think hard before acting upon it or even saying anything about it. Trust your instincts but do not forget your mind.
