Is there anything hotter than flirting? The whole flirting ritual is so much fun and stimulating and makes us want to be pretty and interesting. We already know what to do, even if unconsciously, but what about him? How can you be sure he’s flirting with you?
Absolute certainty is not possible. It may even be a little rare, but there are men who can approach just out of interest in creating a friendship, and some indications can be confusing. Much will depend on your perception.
Each person has a way of approaching and their limits, and relationships also cannot follow a pattern. But there are always some general behaviors that can characterize a flirtation.
As Pamela Magalhães, a psychologist specializing in relationships, explains, “when we are interested in someone, our body tends to trigger our intention, getting closer, more open, seeking contact”. Noticing the other’s body expressions is the first step to knowing about their plans with you.
Here are some signs that he might be flirting with you
- He invites you to go out alone
- He takes the right moments to touch you
- he praises you
- He insists on staying by your side
- He teases and pranks you
- he looks at you deeply
- he gives you priority
- He gets a little nervous when he’s next to you
If he suddenly asks you out just the two of you, that’s a big indication that he wants something with you. An invitation to a party with his friends, a dinner or even just a coffee, is certainly an attitude that shows that he wants your company and even more, that he wants to have a special moment, without the interference of other people. Take the opportunity to show the best you have and avoid being charming to accept the invitation, if you’re interested, go for it.
In those moments when the conversation is closer does he take the opportunity to touch you lightly? When a man is in the mood, he usually takes the opportunity to touch you at the opportune moments. Taking your hand, fixing your hair or giving you some affection shows care and a desire to create intimacy with you.
If he has the habit of giving you compliments and flattery, he may be interested in you. In addition to showing that he admires you, men know very well that we love to receive compliments. And who doesn’t? Whether it’s compliments about your looks or your way of thinking, at the very least, he’s going to be showing that he likes you in some way.
At the party, at the beer at the bar or at college. Wherever it is, if he’s always on your side and ends up preferring the events you go to, it’s clear he enjoys your company. And from there for him to want to be with you is a leap! What can matter more in a relationship than wanting to be together all the time?
This behavior is explained by psychologist Pâmela Magalhães: “Sometimes we have the feeling that a friend or co-worker has decided to scapegoat us. But in fact he’s so attracted and can’t deal with the fact that the only way he finds to vent his interest is to ‘get on your ass’. Well, there are those who have a hard time dealing with their desires, remember that famous phrase: ‘Who disdains, wants to buy’”?
There’s nothing better to understand what’s going on inside someone than looking. The way he looks at you, the length of time he looks at you, and even the sparkle in his eyes can tell you a lot about his intentions towards you. If he takes the moment to look at you deeply, or makes that silly face when your eyes meet, be smart, he may be wanting you.
With more than one event option or where to go, does he prefer where you are? Does he ask what your plans are and invite himself to come along? If he prioritizes your company and your desires, he is definitely looking to please you and spend as much time with you as possible. At the time of the ride, is it you he calls to go along? This can be a big indicator that he likes you.
Men are not so sure of themselves when it comes to flirting. If he gets a little crazy and doesn’t pay much attention to what other people are saying, rush to pick something up or decide which way to go, he may like you so much that he can’t keep control. And isn’t it a delight when that happens?
Trust your intuition and with the help of these tips, put an end to doubts about his interests in relation to you.
