There are some relatively subtle signs that a man is attracted to a woman.

People tend to be concerned about understanding the behavior of others. This often leads us to think not about their observable actions, but about what they think and feel.

But, although some signs are evident, we are not always able to understand the behavior of other individuals, unless they verbalize their intentions, emotions and feelings.

How to know if he is really interested in you

Surely you’ve always wanted to know if that guy you like so much feels the same way as you, or simply wanted to know if your friend’s behavior is just friendship or if it’s an attraction.

In this article you can find a series of signs that indicate that he is interested in you. While these signs are often very obvious, humans are very complex. Before evaluating this list, you should take into account that you can sometimes interpret these clues incorrectly. However, if a guy shows a lot 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 would a friend. When we feel attracted to someone, the pupils dilate, that is, they get bigger.

This reaction has nothing to do with the amount of light where you are. Sure, a very subtle sign, but it’s a good indicator that she might be interested in you. In addition, some studies show that the gaze of the person who is attracted to you is usually directed towards the mouth and lips and maintains eye contact during most of the conversation.

2. He smiles often

When we are with the person we like, we feel good and unconsciously reflect that happiness. The continuous smile is an unmistakable sign that he is interested in you, as this act expresses that the person in front of you causes good feelings.

If he’s really interested in you, he might even smile for no apparent reason. We must not forget that love and attraction cause the brain to secrete a series of neurochemicals related to a positive and energetic mood: serotonin, endorphins, adrenaline…

3. He wants to spend time with you

Of course, if a guy is very attracted to you, he’ll try to get you to see each other outside of work, school, or college, or he’ll certainly ask you out for a drink. But even if he doesn’t explicitly ask, there are also other ways to tell he’s interested in you.

For example, if you work at a coffee shop and he pops in every few minutes just to chat with you, it could be a sign that he’s looking forward to seeing you. When someone likes you a lot, you become their priority and their mind thinks of you constantly.

4. He pays attention to you

When you feel attracted to another person, your attitude changes and you start paying more attention to them. So he can give you some pampering, listen carefully while you talk, be kind… Don’t be surprised if on your birthday he is the first to congratulate you. In reality, although it seems that your attitude is disinterested, when we like someone our interest is to be with that person.

5. He treats you differently than other women

He may be paying you attention, but it seems like normal behavior. So think about the way you treat others. Is it really the same as how he treats you?

If he’s interested in you, he’ll usually want you to feel your best. People are able to move heaven and earth for that someone who makes them feel special. He might not be in love yet, but if he’s interested in you, he’d rather have dinner with you than hang out with his friends.

6. He is always available to you on social media

There is nothing more irritating than chatting with someone on WhatsApp and that person taking hours to respond. Worst of all, when she finally responds to you, she doesn’t seem very interested, which could indicate a lack of attention to what you’re saying.

When a guy always replies to your Instagram stories, talks to you frequently on WhatsApp (except when he’s super busy or working), and even sends you goodnight quotes every day before bed, those actions can reflect his attraction.

7. He always seems to align his body with yours.

It seems that when two people like each other, the body language speaks for itself. Specifically, the bodies of people who are attracted to each other line up face to face. This is closely related to our tendency to unconsciously imitate the people we interact with; when attraction is involved, this “chameleon effect” is even more intensified.

8. He leans in when you’re talking

A man who is interested in you will not only look 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. This is a way of showing affective availability and, therefore, interest in maintaining intimate contact.

9. Your friends keep telling you

It is possible, though not certain, that your friends already know something you suspect. Therefore, you can pay attention to different signs if you spend time with them as well. For example, if they make a joke about you two, if they smile when they see you arrive and he’s there, or if they give each other a knowing look.

10. He keeps praising you

When a guy is interested in you, he is very likely to listen to you and pay special attention to what you say. But it is common that, in addition, he leaves you some obvious messages that he finds you interesting. This is no secret, as most men do it out of cultural inertia. A “you look very pretty today”, “this dress makes you beautiful” or a “what a nice scent” is not something that is usually said to someone who doesn’t interest you more than once every few days.

11. Some non-verbal hints

According to Lucca Cedro, a psychologist specializing in non-verbal communication, there are 4 obvious signs when a man is attracted to a woman. Are the following:

• Raised shoulders are a sign that you are open to a person, it’s a way of letting them know they can trust you.
• Pigeon toes, i.e. moving your feet inwards, refers to the person who feels intimidated by you.
• Palms up are a show of interest and an attitude of openness and vulnerability towards the other person. It is a sign of relaxation and accessibility.
