5 Body Language Clues He (Definitely) Likes You

SIGN #1: He flashes his brows and smiles when he sees you.

Body Language Decoder: Raised brows signal attraction: It's the universal sign of interest and it exists in every culture. In fact, some experts think it's the most recognized non-verbal sign of greeting used by humans. When we're attracted to someone, our eyebrows rise and fall subconsciously. And when the other person is similarly attracted, they raise their brows and smile in return. The whole exchange lasts less than a second, though, so it can be easy to miss unless you're looking out for it!

Bubble Decoder: So ladies, look out for ziana zain wannabe, in er, a man? Not too sure about this one... I thought the eyebrow raising thing is kinda like a universal gesture of acknowledgment and recognition? Like you see an acquaintance on the streets but he's not close enough for you guys to stop and chat. Cue the eyebrow-raising, with a slight wave of the hand, and walk on by. No? Maybe it's a different arch of the brows that we need to look out for? hmmm

SIGN #2: He points his body towards you.

Body Language Decoder: If he's across the room, take a peek at his hands and feet: We tend to point toward the object of our desire subsciously. When we find someone attractive, we'll often point (with our hands, feet or toes) toward that person. If you're engaging in a conversation with him sitting next to you, it's even easier to tell: If he leans slightly forward and keeps his shoulders and upper body squarely facing you, it shows that he's deeply interested in you and what you have to say.

Bubble Decoder: I read about how you will lean towards someone if you're interested in him, I guess it works both ways too. Just as long as he's not too close to encroach into my personal space, I'm fine :)

SIGN #3: He gazes at your lips while you're talking.

Body Language Decoder: Our eyes have a body language all their own. A major telltale sign of how we feel about someone is our gazing pattern: When we look at acquaintances, like at business meetings, we keep our gazes at eye-level, focusing on the other person's eyes and the bridge of the nose. With friends or someone we like, we hold our eye contact longer than usual and our gaze moves down to include the nose and mouth. And if he's romantically drawn to you, the look can further drop down to include parts of your body like the neck or shoulders. This type of intimate gaze conveys interest. It's as if he can't resist caressing the rest of your face and hair with his eyes, or he's imagining what it feels like to kiss you on the lips.

Bubble Decoder: This could be a lil creepy, depending on where he's looking. It'd better be above the neck...

SIGN #4: His pupils widen and he blinks more when looking at you.

Body Language Decoder: The size of our pupils adjusts according to two things: Light and attraction. It's a biological reaction we cannot control. Secretly compare his pupils and another person's (like your girlfriend if she's sitting beside you) in the same surroundings. If we're looking at a person we like, our pupils will dilate, so will our blink rate. The reason: When we're excited, our body releases more adrenaline which results in dilated pupils and faster blinks – the same physiological process that makes our heart pump faster and our knees weak!

Bubble Decoder: Wah, this is a tough one... how the heck am i gonna compare it someone else's? Or take a pic of him gazing? Definite no-no for men with nervous eyes :P

SIGN #5: He laughs at just about everything you say.

Body Language Decoder: If his eyebrows remain slightly raised while you're talking, it signals that he finds you fascinating. Another obvious sign that he likes you a lot: He nods, smiles, laughs and agrees with just about everything you say, including the silly stuff. He's not just being cordial – he's genuinely happy to be with you!

Bubble Decoder: aaww, i want a yes-man too!

so there you go, jaded. hope this helps you a bit. not sure if these are all true, i guess the only way is to ask a male friend or our male readers (are there any left??).

if all else fails, i think you should just follow your gut and women's intuition. if a guy is giving mixed signals and i cant read them, then i'd assume he's stringing me along.
