He likes me? He likes me not?

It’s easy to get stuck with this looping monolog running through your head. Because when you meet a guy for the first time, how do you know if he’s attracted to you or just being nice?

Often right in the beginning, most men won’t be bold enough to come out and just say they like you. Because they don’t want to risk being rejected, just like you! The good news is that there are key male body language signs of attraction you can pick up on. You just need to know what you’re looking for. Here are 8 signs that he’s attracted to you.

Male Body Language: Signs of Attraction You Can Decipher

He smiles a lot, and with his eyes

Smiling with his lips is one thing. But smiling with his eyes too is a different story.

When a guy smiles with his whole face and gets those little creases around his eyes, it’s a good thing. It means he’s genuinely happy, and radiating feelings of warmth towards you. And that’s a strong indication that he’s attracted to you.

A guy who smiles only with his lips may be faking it. A sincere smile goes a long way to saying ‘I like you’!

He plays with his hair

You might think only women do this, but you’d be wrong. And because we’ve been taught this is something women do, we don’t tend to notice men doing it.

But they actually do it a lot. Particularly if they’re with a woman they’re attracted to. Pay attention to when his hands go towards his hair. That includes facial hair if he has any.

This is his way of subconsciously grooming himself, so he can look his best to you.

He’ll raise his eyebrow

If a man is interested in what you’re saying, his eyes will naturally become wider and more open.

This will lead to him raising his eyebrows. And this is a surefire sign that he likes you. So while you’re giving him eye contact, be sure to check out those brows.

He moves closer to you

Men have a tendency to move closer towards people they’re interested in. That might mean he leans in across the table at dinner. Or if he’s taller than you, he might soften his posture so that he’s closer to you. If you’re in a noisy bar, he might move his head closer to yours, so he can hear what you’re saying.

This allows him to get a little closer to you, and test whether you’re comfortable with it or not.
