Words of love are powerful, but most men express their feelings through nonverbal cues.
We are talking about body language. Hi viewers and welcome back to Bestie!
More than half of our communication is nonverbal as our bodies tend to manifest our thoughts and
emotions. On top of that, men are usually less vocal. So it becomes very difficult to understand
what’s going on in their minds. This is where their body language can provide valuable insights
into their thoughts. In today’s video, we will tell you body language signs to help figure out if
a man likes you. From being protective, touching you, showing off in front of you, mirroring
your body language to smiling at you and more, watch till the end to learn about all of them.
He maintains eye contact:
Men tend to keep eye contact with someone they like. This may not always be the case as some
people can be shy or not like the intensity of eye contact. Generally, people who like each
other romantically will want to meet each other’s gaze. We’re sure you’ve seen the classic, catching
someone staring at you and quickly looking away. If a man likes you, he’ll show he’s hanging on
your every word by keeping eye contact. He may also just be getting lost in your dreamy eyes.
Have you ever been in a relationship that began with simple eye contact?

He touches you often: When you are strolling close to him,
does he place his hands on your arm? Does he tend to pat your hand or arm
when talking? A simple touch can convey a more striking and direct message than many words.
He is nervous around you: Another clear sign that he is into you is when he is
unable to stop fidgeting. Women often play with their hair or something else when they
are around someone they like. A man, on the other hand, may start tapping his fingers,
touching his neck or face, or spinning his drink. In any case,
it means that he is nervous around you and is interested. Although nervousness
may mean the opposite in some situations, you should be able to tell the difference.
He is protective:
Another signal to look out for is when he appears to be protective of you. If you’re talking to
someone else, and he makes it a point to interrupt your conversation, he’s probably attracted to you.
He doesn’t want you to flirt with someone else. Even though this can be annoying,
it’s an obvious sign of his affection. Also, if he notices that someone is rude to you, and he comes
to your side to back you up, he probably finds you really attractive and wants to be there for you.
He smiles more at you:
A smile is the universal sign of approval. And if he smiles at you a lot while talking or simply
looking at you, it’s a good bet that he likes you. Just be careful not to jump to conclusions. Some
people are just better at “smiles” than others. Maybe he’s always smiling around his friends, too.

He can’t stop fidgeting in your presence:
When a person feels nervous and excited about something, they will often fidget when it’s
happening. If a guy fidgets around you, it could just be because he is generally uncomfortable in
social situations. Or, he might be interested. Fidgeting can lead to crossed arms or legs,
which means that there is a barrier between two people. Maybe he’s holding his arms close to keep
you out? This barrier needs to be broken down so that the relationship between two people can grow.
He walks beside you, not in front or behind:
If he likes you, then this is a powerful sign. If he walks beside you,
it means that he’s comfortable around you and wants to be near you. Walking behind someone
makes us feel like we’re following them: as if we can’t keep up or are being led by someone else.
Walking in the front is similar because the person leading the way controls where they are
going. It could allow him to escape easily without facing rejection from you. If he walks beside you,
it shows confidence and closeness – a great indicator that he might just like being with you.
He changes instantly: If a guy likes you or is interested in impressing you,
his behavior will change almost instantly as soon as he sees that you’re around. If he’s laughing,
he’ll suddenly sober down. Or if he’s sitting quietly, he may get loud or try to be the
center of attention among his friends. Even if you don’t know him that well,
you can observe how easily he changes his behavior the minute he spots you in the same room.
He shows off a lot: Anyone would want to show off when it comes to
the person they like. Wouldn’t you? It doesn’t matter if he’s playing a game,
pulling a friend’s leg, or just hanging out in the cafeteria.
If he does something eye-catching, he’ll look for a sign that you noticed him in
his moment of glory. He’ll want to put his best foot forward when you’re around.
His pupils are dilated: One way to spot a budding connection is by
looking the other person in the eye and casually noticing if his pupils seem small or large.
Are they tiny pinpoints? Or are they wide?
When we like someone we want to see more of them. The pupils dilate to allow more
light in so they can quite literally get a better look. Dilated pupils are also
a sign of excitement. Physiological responses like sexual excitement or
attraction release oxytocin and dopamine into your brain, which affect your pupil size.
The tone of his voice changes: It might be tough to tell if a guy has changed the tone of his voice
if you only just met. But take it as a good sign if he pitches his voice lower or higher.
A study found that people vary the strength, tone, and pitch of their voice when speaking to
folks they find attractive. This is something you may be able to pick up on. It was even possible,
in the study, for those who overheard these conversations to tell when the sparks were flying,
simply by listening to the participant's tone of voice. These vocal changes happen because we
subconsciously want to stand out from the “pack” and attract a partner. He may want
to sound more masculine than the other guys in the vicinity so he gets your attention.
He mirrors your body language: An obvious, old school sign that someone is into someone
else is if they copy the other person’s actions. For example,
if the guy who likes you, sat opposite you, he might mirror the way that you sat,
or do the same actions. These can be anything from copying you, to taking a drink at the same time.
He probably won’t even realize he’s doing it. His subconscious will be nervously making him copy
you. If you suspect he is doing this, but you aren’t sure, why don’t you just simply pick up
your glass and take a sip or change your seating position? It will tell you all you need to know.
His eyebrows are raised: When people are generally just talking to a person who they're friends with,
they will keep most of their faces set. This is especially true with their eyebrows,
which generally tend to signal that they are just feeling mellow, content,
and comfortable with whoever is around them.
When you raise your eyebrows, this tends to be a sign that you're seeing something
that intrigues you. Guys will often do this because they're into what someone is saying.

Now, back to Body Language Signs A Guy Likes You For Sure
A deep breath when he sees you: Many guys will often take a subtle deep breath when they see
someone they like. This is because it helps them broaden their shoulders, sit up straight,
and look attractive. That, and you might literally just "take his breath away." Either way,
this subtle body sign suggests that he may be genuinely feeling something for you.
He fixes his hair: Men have a tendency to subconsciously fix their hair when they see
a person they like. All of a sudden they seem to get conscious about their looks. They want to make
a good impression and they start by fixing their hair. Another reason could be because they want
to get your attention. This body language is a sure sign that he secretly likes you.
He keeps looking at your lips: There are some things that men cannot hide,
even if they think they are pros at it. While talking to you, he will look at
your face and most importantly, your lips. He will stare at them for a split second,
or maybe longer, depending on the intensity of his feelings for you. If he looks at your lips,
you are not just a friend, he is attracted to you. It’s a sign he secretly wants you.
