Ladies: Spot the Signs that Mean ‘He's Into You’!

Like us, men don't always say exactly what they're feeling, so any signs that will help us to figure them out are welcome here!

In the early stages of a new relationship (like when you first meet an online date) we can learn a lot from their body language. Look out for the following signs to get a sense of what he's thinking...

His pupils are huge

Either you're in a super-dark place, or this subtle signal means he's attracted to you. Dilation is a brain response that occurs when you like and are attracted to something or someone.

Say cheese

According to research guys stop showing their teeth when they smile around the age of 5 — unless they're really happy! He may not show off his toothy grin while casually flirting, but on an awesome date when you’re enjoying yourselves it could be a giveaway.

He smiles above the mouth

Real smiles go above the mouth: they lift the forehead and give you slightly squinty eyes. If his smile involves his whole face, it means you're genuinely affecting him… in a good way

He licks his lips (not in a creepy way)

It’s science! When you're attracted to someone, your mouth produces extra saliva, so you naturally lick his lips or press them together. (Slower is creepy and we recommend you make your excuses!)

He locks eyes with your face — not your eyes

In an age where leaving our phones alone for 5 minutes makes us anxious, this is a pretty BIG sign! Eye contact though can make us uncomfortable so there’s a new rule: If he spends about 80 percent of your interaction looking from your eyes to your nose and lips, he's into you.

Deep breath

No shock that guys breath just like we do. But when he subconsciously takes a deep breath — he'll pull in his stomach and puff out his chest — it's a subconscious way to make his upper body look broader and his waist look smaller, two qualities that make him look more fit and (from an evolutionary perspective) more desirable.

Sitting with their legs open

Awkward but you need to know! This body position exposes his man parts - it's a vulnerable position that could mean he's willing to put himself out there (literally and emotionally) to get to know you.

When he holds your hand, he presses his palm against yours

Ahh fully fledged hand holding, if this doesn’t signify a desire to connect nothing does! The same goes for interlocking fingers although an arched palm means he's afraid, worried or maybe holding something back.

Pointed toes

Without our feet the fight-or-flight response isn’t really relevant. This kicks in when you're in danger largely controlled by the unconscious mind — and can be very telling in social interactions.  

"The feet tend to point where the heart wants to go!"

  

Of course, timing is super important in interpreting the feet: If you're talking to a guy who seems interested, you touch his arm, and then see his feet angle away from you, the context says he's no longer interested.

He walks beside you

If he's constantly two steps ahead of you, this signifies he's more concerned about himself than about you. Unless he's leading you through a scary or crowded space of course.
