Though the laws of attraction can be a bit confusing, and you may often receive mixed
signals from someone you really like, the clues are there. Remember to understand their body
language and nonverbals when interacting with them in order to spot clues that
they may be interested in you romantically. Here's our 10 signs that someone likes you.
Number 10- Feet. Go and sit opposite the
object of your affection, then look at their feet. People subconsciously point their feet where they
want to go. So, if they point their feet towards you, it's a good sign.
If they point their feet to the exit, Hmm… Not so much,
but what if they point their feet together? Well, that can be a good sign too.
Pigeon toes can signify someone trying to make themselves appear smaller and more approachable.
Number 9- The eyes have it. This one works for guys and girls,
and it's all in the eyes. If the person you like
makes longer eye contact with you than people usually do, then most probably they like you.
People make deep eye contact with people they really like. Direct eye contact triggers,
a hormone produced by the brain called oxytocin, which helps us trust and feel connected to people.
Another sign is that their pupils dilate, when you're attracted to somebody, dilation is a
natural response from the brain to the eye. However, it's also a natural
response to changes in light levels. So don't misread this one, it might end awkwardly.
Number 8- Slowing It Down. Because of the way men and women are put together,
men tend to have a longer stride length. Women have to walk faster to keep pace with men
because their legs tend to be shorter. However, a study from Seattle Pacific
university show that if a man is interested in a woman, he'll forego this genetic advantage,
without thinking he'll slow his pace down to match hers, making the woman feel more comfortable.
There's also makes it easier to hold hands without yanking her arm out of its socket.
Number 7- Mirroring. If the person you like starts copying what you do,
they're not making fun of you. This is called mirroring
and it's another subconscious action that you do, if you like someone.
If they stand or sit in the same way as you, if they adjust the tone of their voice to
match yours, or if they start using the same words as you, they're mirroring, you can push
mother nature along by doing a bit of mirroring yourself, touch your hair, when they touch theirs,
rush your face, when they brush theirs. Maybe they'll get the message.
Number 6- The power of the purse. Here's one that girls often do.
How she places her purse or handbag signifies a lot about what she thinks about you.
If she collected her bag to her chest and she's putting a barrier
between herself and you that's bad news. If she's holding it loosely by her side,
that's better, she feels comfortable with you and doesn't want to put an obstacle between you.
If she puts it on the floor or somewhere else, completely out of the way, that's even better.
She doesn't want anything to get in the way of your conversation.
The same applies to phones for both sexes. If their phone is on the table,
their attention may be somewhere else. Number 5- The devil in the details.
The topic of conversation is often littered with clues. If the object of your interest
suddenly becomes an authority on something they know you're into,
like your favourite band or football team and they had never talked about it before,
while they probably like you, it's also telling if they remember what you did last weekend,
things that even you had forgotten about, again, they probably like you.
If they start asking detailed questions, remembering the answers and bringing them
up later on. Guess what? They're not just being nosy; they like you in a world where
we're always busy and wrapped up in ourselves. We subconsciously try to stand out by taking
a detailed interest in the things we're attracted too.
Number 4- Hair we go! Probably the most famous sign that a girl is
interested is if she subconsciously plays with her or flicks her hair around in front of you.
This is because women know their hair is an attractive asset and they want to draw
it to your attention. Also, they may be imagining you playing with their hair.
However, this also is true for guys too. Males grooming themselves in front of their
potential mates is very common in the animal kingdom and we humans do it too.
If a guy is styling his hair while he's with you, he's probably trying to make
himself look a little bit better, much like a peacock displaying its feathers.
Number 3 - Nerves. When you're with someone you're interested in,
do you find yourself getting nervous? Do you overthink what you're going to say and end
up saying the wrong thing? Do you stutter? Do you blush if the other person is acting the same way,
chances are they like you too? We can't control blushing.
It's something that has evolved as a way to attract potential mates.
When we see someone, we're attracted to. The blood flows to our face
and turns our cheeks red. Both sexes find red cheeks attractive
as it's a sign of fertility. Number 2- All in the wrist.
According to behavioural psychologist and dating expert,
Joe Hemings, if a girl hitches up her sleeves to expose her wrists when she's with someone.
That's a sign that she's interested, the wrist is the softest part of the body.
So, if a woman puts her wrist on show, she is subconsciously exposing her softer side
to make herself more attractive, or she could be looking at our watch to see how much longer
her taxi home will be. Number 1 – Compliments.
Reading all of these signs could be a difficult task. You need to watch their eyes, hair, wrists,
feet, handbag, who knows what else?! But in reality, it's pretty obvious, really.
If someone likes you, they tell you, you just have to listen for the signs. If a person is attracted
to another person, they will pay them compliments. If the object of your desire notices your new
hairstyle or says your new jeans look nice, they're probably interested.
Another one is if they laugh at your jokes, that's a sign that they want to appear connected to you
and want to boost your self-esteem. Even if your joke, isn't funny,
they'll laugh because they not laughing is seen as a sign of dislike.
So, brush up on your stand-up material, if you really want to see who's into you!
It may be complicated, but what do you think, which signs do you give off?
