What are some non-verbal signs a guy is into you?
We've all heard the saying: Actions speak louder than words. When it comes to guys 👦, that saying is as true as it gets! There are so many clues and signs that you can pick up on to be totally sure he's into you 🔥. Here are 15 non-verbal signs a guy is into you! 💕
1. Raised Eyebrow(s) 👀
People who make their living studying human behavior have noticed something rather interesting – men tend to raise their eyebrows whenever they see something (or, in this case, somebody) they like. Raised eyebrows make his eyes appear bigger and the light reflecting in them makes them appear brighter, shinier and more attractive. This is one of those smart tricks Mother Nature uses to make sure the person one admires sees all his best features and, although this movement might not last more than a few seconds, that’s still plenty of time for you to take notice.
2. Leaning Forward 👨🏿 👩🏿
Oh, this tip is definitely going to help you determine whether he is into you and I strongly advise you to remember it! Observe the way he acts when he’s around you because his body might say much more than his lips are prepared to! Whether you’re sitting across from each other or standing really close, he is supposed to be turned towards you, his torso leaning forward. This shows that he wants to be close to you. If he’s looking around, wiggling in his chair too much, if he turns sideways or turns his back on you, you can rest assured he’s a lost case, sister, which pretty much means that you should stop wasting your time.
3. “Open” Body 🙌🏿
When a woman crosses her legs it doesn’t mean much but when a man does such thing he is actually telling you that he isn’t willing to open up or let you get close to him. Crossed arms are also not a good sign either as that shows he’s trying to put up a wall and make himself unavailable to you. Pay attention to how relaxed he is when being around you because, although he might feel and act a bit strange at first, his body is supposed to relax, turn towards you and kind of “open up” as you get to know each other better.
4. Trying to Look Good for You 👦🏿
If he is into you, he will definitely want to look good for YOU and you’ll notice that by paying attention to how often he fixes his hair/collar/tie when you’re around. I’m not talking about narcissistic egomaniacs whose sole purpose in life is to look good, oh no, no, no – I’m talking about real men here! You see, even an average Joe who, in any other occasion, couldn’t care less about his looks will feel the need to “fix” something when trying to leave a good impression on a woman he likes and, although he might do that secretly (when the object of his admiration is in the ladies room), the chances of her noticing it on her way back are more than good.
5. Letting You Notice That He’s Checking You out 👍🏿
He will check you out top to bottom, allowing himself the liberty of letting you SEE that! You shouldn’t feel like Columbus, though, because your discovery isn’t that grand! The truth is that he has checked you out many times before and the only reason for which he’s doing it now is to let you know that he’s not only looking but enjoying the view as well!
6. Touching His Face 👂🏿
If your date is touching his face, ears or rubbing his chin you have a good reason to believe he is into you! This is how men react in moments when they are nervous and excited and, according to experts, it has something to do with their skin being more sensitive to touch at those times.
7. Trying to Touch You 👫
He’ll touch your hand while trying to explain something, lean forward to tuck in a lock that has gone wild, admire the bracelet or even your nail art just so he would have a reason to touch you again without appearing too forward. Now, don’t pretend like you haven’t noticed (or even done) this before! LOL!
8. Offer to Lend You Something 💏
A true gentleman will offer his coat/jacket/blazer if you’re cold but, should he insist on you keeping it, you should know he is into you. This heroic move won’t only put him in your good graces but guarantee he’ll get the chance to see you again too because…well… he’ll need his jacket back eventually.
9. Keeps Eye Contact with You 💑
A man will let you know that he's interested in everything about you by maintaining eye contact with you. After all, eyes are the windows to the soul, right? He wants to be able to see right through you and for you to be able to do the same. Eye contact is also his way of letting you know that, well, he's only got eyes for you!
10. Mirrored Behavior 💞
Do you ever notice that he takes bites of his food at the same time that you or do? Or notice him doing other things similarly? This is an example of isopraxism - when we start to mirror those we are growing closer to.
11. Meaningful Gifts 💝
Now, meaningful does not necessarily mean expensive. If he puts in the effort to find you gifts that match your personality, it's his way to show that he listens to you and cares for you.
12. The Cocked Noggin 💑
It has been proven that if your man is looking at you, cocking his head to the side and giving you 'the look', it's a come-hither non-verbal clue. Pay attention to this!
13. Pupils Dilated 👁
Oh yeah, pay close attention to his eyes. If his pupils are dilated, that really does mean that he is into you. Pay close attention to his eyes!
14. Take a Look at His Lips and Nose 👃
Pay close attention to what he does with his lips and nose. If his nostrils flare, he is absolutely into you. It means that all of his senses are alive.
15. Full Attention when You Are Talking 💋
This means that every single time you are talking, regardless of if it is important or not, he is giving you his full attention. This is truly the best sign to know if he is into you.
So, if your date starts demonstrating any or all of these “moves”, you'll be able to read him like a pro! Can you think of any other non-verbal signs that he's into you?
