Is there a guy you've been interested in for a long time, but you don't know if he reciprocates your feeling? His body language, the way he looks at you and his attentions are three aspects to consider in order to understand him. Of course, you could always ask him if he likes you directly, but it can be really nerve-wracking. Pay attention to some cues before you voice your feelings to make sure they are reciprocated. If he doesn't show the attitudes you're looking for, he probably doesn't care.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Reading the Body Language
Step 1. Interact with him
Talk to him and pay attention to the way he poses. If he's an outgoing person and likes you, he'll playfully touch you as you talk. Occasional contact with the shoulders or hands are quite explicit signals. If he's shy, he won't be so direct. In that case, he may blush or stare at you as you speak.
Step 2. Notice if she smiles
A true smile extends beyond the normal width of the mouth. If he smiles with his whole face, you are making a good impression on him. If he's not showing his teeth, he's probably faking it. This just means that he listens to you out of courtesy and is not interested in you.
Step 3. Notice his posture
If he was trying to impress you, he would twitch his muscles to look better when he talks to you. He would often keep his hands on his hips to convey confidence. When you are interested in a man, you will notice that he stands directly in front of you, to show you his attention and to be able to approach with ease. If he's not interested, he'll keep his back off you.
Method 2 of 4: How He Looks At You
Step 1. Find out if he is looking at you
Also try to notice the size of his pupils. If he looks at you while you talk to him, that's a good sign. If your pupils are dilated more than normal, even better! This phenomenon is an organism response that occurs when a person is attracted to something. If you notice that he is looking nervously at you, he is probably looking forward to getting out of the situation he is in.
Blinking too often is a strong sign that someone is attracted to you. For some people, the frequency with which they close their eyes increases when they are aroused
Step 2. Keep an eye on her brows
If they are slightly raised, it means that she finds you charming. It is an unconscious expression that people keep when they like what they see.
Step 3. Notice if he looks behind you
He may not always look you in the eye when he talks to you, but that doesn't mean he's not interested. If his gaze wanders, pay attention to what he observes. If he watches you, he is almost certainly interested. If it seems to be looking behind you, that's not a good sign; he probably feels like leaving the conversation.
Method 3 of 4: Evaluate the Attention You Receive
Step 1. Introduce yourself to his friends
When you do, stay in the group for some time to assess the behavior of the guy you like. If he seems to be putting on a show, he is probably trying to get your attention and is interested in you. If he seems quiet or awkward, the situation could make him uncomfortable, because he doesn't like you and doesn't like you being with his friends.
Step 2. Talk on the phone
Take note of how often she calls or texts you when you are not together and consider the reasons why she does. If she's just looking for you to ask for favors, she probably sees you as a friend. If he calls you to find out how you are or to talk about this and that, he is interested in you.
Step 3. Consider how he talks to you
Are you always on the phone? Does he seem distracted and ready to leave the conversation? If he holds these attitudes, he is not interested. If he were, he'd give you all his attention.
Method 4 of 4: Being Direct
Step 1. Learn what they like
Ask him, directly, what he is looking for in a girl. This will help you understand which features they like and which ones they don't like. Which of those qualities do you possess? Remember to also ask what they don't like. Don't be too pushy, but get an idea of his preferences.
Step 2. Ask him what he thinks of you
If he tells you "you don't know what he thinks", that's not a good sign. He probably has clear ideas, but he knows you wouldn't react well to his answer. If he thinks you are very nice, ask him if he finds you attractive.
Step 3. Talk to him privately
Talk about how you feel for each other. Make sure you don't bring this topic up in front of a group of people. You might make him uncomfortable and not get an honest answer.
Advice
- Don't get too fixated on his "type". If he tells you he only appreciates a certain type of girl, you still have a chance; you may be the exception that proves the rule.
- If he's not interested in you, go ahead. You won't be able to make him love you.
