GENUINE BODY LANGUAGE SIGNS HE SECRETLY LIKES YOU.

Want to know he like you or not?

By Lena JhonsonPublished 6 years ago 9 min read

I bet you were all once interested in body language signs of a man who shows he loves you secretly, right? If a man finds you attractive, you expect a man to say this directly to you or to show it directly to you. The least you foresee is that he will ask you.

But you need to understand that not everyone has the courage to be this direct and not every guy does the same thing. Some men are shy by nature and have trouble admitting their feelings, regardless of how strong they are. These men will not move directly or strike you in the same manner as other guys.

But in other, more subtle ways, they will show you their concern.

You might think that a man sends you mixed messages because he wants to play with your mind, but that may also be a sign of his insecurity. These are exactly the things you should be very careful about when you want to know whether a guy really is with you.

Your body language will show you your true intentions even if you are actively trying to hide them. Every person shows you their affection differently, but if you wonder if a person is interested in you, here are the 17 most common signs of body language that he secretly likes you.

Of course, if you notice that a man sends only one of these signals, that doesn't mean much. But if he blends some or all of these behavioral patterns, there's one thing, he's in you without a doubt.

1. He stares at you.

People, and especially men who want to hide their true emotions, will do everything they can to be indifferent and to control themselves, so that they do not see the object of their affection.

But their eyes are the only thing they can never control, no matter how hard they try. And this is why the eyes of a man are the first thing to look after when you wonder whether he is in you.

A guy who likes you will look non-stop at you, and that is his first, sure-fire sign for you. It's simple— he's so intrigued by you that even if he did, he can't remove his eyes from you. Moreover, even though the room is filled with girls, only his eyes will be locked on you, and he will look at you as though you were the only woman in the world, because you are for him the most attractive girl ever.

This man won't mind looking deep in his eyes and he'll do his utmost to get clear and sustained eye contact with you.

Although he obviously hasn't the courage to admit his feelings directly to you, this is his way of showing you a huge interest. However, another thing he attempts to do is read your mind. He checks you— if you look at him in the same way as he looks at you or whether you look at him with no curiosity or disgust.

2. He looks away

When a person obviously goes from his gaze and does everything in his power to avoid eye contact, it's probably the first thing that crosses his mind that he doesn't want anything to do with you. You might think this man couldn't stand and he couldn't wait to leave you whenever you are together.

But this way, things don't have to be. Although this may be a sign that this guy definitely doesn't like you, it can mean something entirely the opposite.

When a man looks away, it could be one of the signs he needs. You obviously have a shy guy who has no courage to face you or see you correctly. He is afraid that you will see his feelings through his eyes and that if you realize that he is in love with you, you are going to deny him or even scorn him. He acts as a teenager who never was in love and can't even bear the object of his affection.

So when the eyes meet, the first reaction he has is obviously to look away. Clearly, he needs a few seconds before he can talk to you properly.

3. He smiles whenever he looks at you

Another body language sign that a guy secretly likes you is connected to the way all of his features change when he sees you passing by the door. Apart from the way his eyes change, with his mouth and with his entire face something like that happens.

Obviously, this guy can not help but smile whenever he gets in touch with you. Yet with his mouth and teeth he doesn't just smile — it's funny, yet it looks like his whole face's smiling. The every muscle of the face shifts and is pleased to see you.

The man may be in the worst mood, but when he sees you, his entire face lights up and it seems that magically all of his troubles are gone. He clearly likes you more than you believe. It is a positive sign.  

Even if you two just pass by, he will give you a subtle smile. Obviously, he has difficulty verbalizing his feelings, so this is one of his ways to show you that he noticed you coming into a room.

This is particularly the case when your voice is heard. You never saw that guy angry or deadly serious when you think of it, because whenever you two speak, he can not but smile at all you say.

4. He is always faced toward you

When a guy is in you, even if he tries to hide it or if he refuses to accept the fact, his body knows that physical appeal very well.

If you wonder whether you have a man inside, the direction in which his face is pointed when he is around you is one of the signs that he secretly likes you.

If a guy looks around when he's talking to you or checking his phone constantly, it can be one of the signs he is nervous to be close to you. But it can also mean that he just isn't interested in anything you have to say, and that's why he gets this frustrated.

But if a man loves you, he's going to follow every step. He will try hard not to be distracted by anything but you two.

His face will therefore always be guided directly to you. This way, he can concentrate entirely on you and he will have the chance to look in his eyes while he speaks, see every signal you might send him and fully enjoy your beauty.

5. Everything you say is funny

When you think about it, you're probably a bit fun and humorous to be around. But if you look at it objectively, you are not all that hilarious and not all you say is amusing.

But this guy obviously doesn't think this way. He can't help but laugh at all that you say loudly, and he thinks that every joke you say is more than just hilarious. He'll relax before you, even if he's just a shy man, because he feels good in your company. Naturally, he obviously believes that you're a fun place, but his laughter is also one of his ways of making you take care of him and stand out from the crowd, and he certainly shows an interest in you.

And you don't just think he's trying to make you laugh, either. Whenever you two happen to be with a group of people and he is the one that tells a joke or tells a funny story, his eyes look for you constantly, and he tries to see your reaction. If he sees you laughing, he's happy to have accomplished his mission.

Clearly, you find this man to be the most interesting person on the planet and everything you say amuses him clearly. But that's not enough— he wants you to believe that he's also fascinating.

6. He fixes his hair and outfit

You know how you instantly become self-confident when you see a guy that you like? Immediately you don't like what you wear, and you are extremely concerned about the state of your hair and make-up.

Okay, guess what, guess what? Guys are similar when it comes to someone they like— well, except the makeup section.

The truth is that every man wants to look his best when he's close to a girl he's in, although they won't recognize it loudly even though they might not be aware of it.

Therefore, the way a fellow adapts his hair and clothes when he sees you approaching him is one of the small signs a guy is falling for you. Some guys fix the hair, tuck it into their shirt or something like that, but it's the same case. Whatever he wears and whatever he looks, he will always worry that something is out of place and that he might have done better to prepare to see you.

This guy does this, as well as wanting to look his best around you, because he is extremely nervous. He just doesn't know what to do with his hands, and that's one way he can keep them busy.

7. His legs and hands shake

8. His voice changes

They probably got the feeling that when you're around someone you like you can't control your expression. Suddenly, without even noticing it, you start speaking like a little girl.

It's the same for men. Your voice changes without even knowing it when you're close to a girl they're attracted to.

One risk is to raise their voice uncontrollably. You do this subconsciously, as it has been scientifically proven that women are more sensitive to higher voice tones. Women allocate higher tones to babies crying.

Another way is to deepen their voice. A deep voice was always linked to masculinity, and if a man wants you, he's going to do all he can to be male. Therefore, he will attempt to deepen his voice unconsciously, so that you begin to see him as the real man he is. However, it's likely that the man will speak louder as he talks to you. This is one of the subconscious ways of making him see and understand him.

This guy knows the fight is tough and he must stand out from the crowd. Therefore, he wants you to remember his voice as a familiar thing.

9. He touches you accidentally

If a man likes you, he is also sexually attracted. This means that, even if it is by accident, he will do anything to be close to you and touch you in any way. And that's exactly what the guy who likes you all did.

Whenever you speak to this man, he uses every opportunity to wipe something off your face or not to block your vision. He will put his hand on your knee or shoulders when he speaks to you and, especially, when he laughs at a joke that you just told him. He will probably put his hand on your lower back when he's passing by you.

You must know that this guy has an uncontrollable urge to touch you in any way and he probably doesn't know what he does.

However, that doesn't mean that he can act inappropriately or he can't respect your borders. Thus, when you see a guy crossing the boundaries that you have set yourself, you must warn him that he is bothering you, and that is nothing you should be ashamed of.

10. He hugs you and kisses you on the cheek

You probably have many male friends and when you see one, you put a subtle kiss on each other's cheek, or hug one another. This is particularly the case if you haven't seen it friend for a while.

And this guy is no different at first glance. He kisses you and hugs you every time he sees you. But if you pay attention to his behavior and look at things a bit more carefully, you'll realize that he is definitely a male friend. Once he comes into your personal space, there is something special. You feel different somehow. Your intestine tells you he's right and he wants to be more than a friend.  

He's a guy who's going to take every chance to kiss you. It is a clear sign that he wants to kiss you, but he simply does not have the courage to try it. So a kiss on his cheek has become sufficient for him. But if you look around, you will find that his kisses on the cheek are always dangerously near your mouth and that his desire to kiss you properly is likely to be fighting.

A similar situation also applies to his hugs. As you two greet, it's like he never forgets to hug you. And not just that — his hugs are very intimate. He always tries to hold you as long as he can, and acts like that if he had a chance with you, he wouldn't let you go.
