People usually have the concern to understand the behavior of others. Many times this leads us to ask ourselves not by their observable actions, but by what they think and feel
But, although some signs are evident, we are not always able to understand the behaviors of other individuals unless they verbalize their intentions, emotions and feelings to us.
Surely, at times you have wanted to know if that person you like so much feels the same as you, or you have simply wanted to know If your friend’s behavior is just friendship or, on the contrary, it is attraction
In this article you can find a series of signs that indicate that a man feels something special for you. Now, although these signs are often very obvious, human beings are very complex. Before evaluating this list you should keep in mind that sometimes you can interpret these keys incorrectly. However, If a boy shows many of these signs, the probability that he likes you is high
1. He looks at you differently
If a man is interested in you, he will look at you differently than he does with a friend. According to a study conducted by the University of Chicago that was led by Dr. Eckhard Hess, When we are attracted to someone, our pupils dilate that is, they get bigger.
This reaction has nothing to do with the amount of light where the two people are. Without a doubt, a very subtle sign, but it is a good indicator to know if he likes you. Likewise, other studies show that the gaze of the person who is attracted to you is often directed towards the mouth and lips and maintains the eye contact for most of the conversation
When we are with the person who drives us crazy, we feel good and we unconsciously reflect that happiness. The continuous smile is an unequivocal sign that that man thinks about you, because this act expresses that the person in front of him causes him good feelings.
If he likes you a lot, he may even smile for no apparent reason. We must not forget that falling in love and attraction cause the brain to secrete a series of neurochemicals related to positive and energetic mood : serotonin, endorphins, adrenaline… You can learn more about neurotransmitters and their influence on love in this article: “The chemistry of love: a very powerful drug.”
3. He wants to spend time with you
Logically, if a boy feels a great attraction towards you, he will try to get you to see each other outside of work or school or university, or he will probably invite you out for a drink. But even if he doesn’t ask you explicitly, there are also other ways to realize that he likes you.
For example, if you work at a coffee shop and he shows up every now and then just to chat with you, it may be a sign that he’s looking forward to meeting you. When someone really likes you, you become their priority and their mind thinks about you constantly.
4. He pays attention to you
When someone is attracted to another person, their attitude changes and they pay special attention to them. Thus, he may give you some pampering, listen to you carefully while you talk, be gentle… Don’t be surprised if your birthday is the first day he congratulates you. In reality, although it may seem that their attitude is disinterested, when we like someone our interest is to be with that person. There is always some selfishness in romantic love
He may be very attentive to you but it seems like normal behavior to you. So, think about the way you treat others. Is it really the same with them as with you?
Obviously, if he likes you, he will usually want you to feel the same way. People are capable of moving heaven and earth for that someone who makes them feel special. He may not be in love yet, but if he really likes you, he’d probably rather have dinner with you than go out with friends.
6. He is always active for you on social networks
There is nothing more annoying than chatting with someone on WhatsApp and them taking hours to respond to you. The worst thing of all is that when he finally answers you, he doesn’t seem very interested either, which may indicate disinterest.
When a guy is ready to greet you on Facebook, talks to you frequently on WhatsApp (except when he is very busy or working) and even talks to you at night from bed, it is possible that these actions reflect his attraction.
7. Bodies line up
It seems that when two people like each other, their body language speaks for itself. Specific, the bodies of people who are attracted to each other line up facing each other This is closely related to our tendency to unconsciously imitate the people we interact with; When there is attraction involved, this chameleon effect intensifies even more. At least this is what Lisa Daily, author of the book Stop Getting Dumped!, claims.
8. He leans in when you’re talking
A man who is interested in you will not only stare at you and align his body with yours, but when talking to you, he will lean towards you and not cross his arms and legs defensively, something that tends to be more typical of the male sex that of the feminine. This is a way to demonstrate emotional availability and, therefore, interest in maintaining intimate contact.
It is possible, but not certain, that your friends know something of what you think. So you can pay attention to different signs if you ever spend some time with them too. For example, if they make a joke about the two of you, if they smile when they see you arrive and he is there, or if they give each other a knowing look.
10. He compliments you
When a guy is interested in you, he is very likely to listen to you and pay special attention to what he says. But it is common that, in addition, I left you some obvious messages that you are interesting This is no secret, since most men do it out of cultural inertia. “You look very pretty today,” “this dress suits you,” or “you smell so good” is not something you usually say to someone you’re not interested in more than once every few days.
11. Other non-verbal cues
According to David Givens, an anthropologist specialized in non-verbal communication and author of the book Love Signals: A Practical Field Guide to the Body Language of Courtship, there are 4 Obvious signs when there is attraction between a man and a woman They are the following:
12. Take advantage of any occasion to meet you
There are few more unmistakable signs that she likes you. If on any possible occasion that person shows up where he knows you are going to be, you can have a great indicator that he wants something more with you.
If we add to this the fact that he meets and does not miss the opportunity to greet you, share a few minutes or propose plans… it’s quite likely that he likes you
