Women always want to know what feelings a certain man has for her. NLP psychologists say: there is no need to beat around the bush, guess or ask leading questions, just close observation of the behavior and gestures of a potential chosen one is enough...
So, what does the body language of a man in love tell us?
Sight
When talking about the nonverbal behavior of a man in love, the first thing people pay attention to is his eyes. This is a real mirror of feelings and emotions; they reveal the true attitude towards oneself.
How does a man look at you? A representative of the stronger sex in love opens his eyes wide, looking at the object of his affection, as if he wants to examine every part of his beloved. He looks for a long time, studying, appraising, admiringly, starting from the face, sliding further along the perimeter of the whole body. This is done unconsciously - this is how the young man visualizes his actions towards you. But if you shoot your eyes back, your companion will quickly look away. He, of course, hopes for reciprocity, but this gesture promises that he does not want to be exposed so quickly. If the game is repeated again (despite the fact that you have noticed interest in yourself, he secretly looks at you again), be sure that the young man is interested in himself!
In the psychology of communication, there are three types of views: social, power and intimate. A man in love looks at a woman exclusively intimately, looking straight into her eyes, as if wanting to get into her very soul. There he looks for the answer to his innermost questions: “Are you ready to become mine?”, “Do you trust me?”, “Do you agree to move to a new level of communication?”
Pay attention to a man's eyes; some signs automatically indicate that he is in love:
- dilated pupils (indicate sincere sympathy, desire for intimacy, sexual attraction);
- shine (produced by the release of the hormone phenylethylamine, which makes us experience fever-like symptoms in the presence of a nice person);
- change in color (being next to a beloved woman, the eyes become a “pool”, so their color seems darker, more saturated, as if they were covered in a veil).
There is an interesting method in psychology that allows you to identify true sympathy for yourself using a glance. To do this, when communicating with a man, do not miss close eye contact with him for a long time. If a person has a crush on you, his brain will definitely respond to your message. You will notice excitement, embarrassment, a rush of blood to the face, uncontrolled facial expressions, etc. Using this technique, it is impossible to rekindle a guy’s feelings if they don’t exist, but you can discern an existing sympathy!
Movements and postures
Leaning towards the woman
By “invading” your personal comfort zone, reducing the distance during a conversation, a man is trying to show his interest in you and his desire to be a little closer. This gesture is one of the most pronounced indicators of sympathy.
Active hand movements
If during a conversation a man makes numerous emotional movements with his hands, he wants to attract attention and get into your field of vision. Perhaps your interlocutor is trying to slightly embellish the story he tells, presenting himself as a true speaker.
Touching your hair
The young man constantly adjusts his hairstyle and smoothes his hair - he tries to draw attention to his side, openly flirts. Behind these movements lies a kind of “challenge”: “You will forever be mine,” “You will never want to be free again.”
Foot placement
If a man's toes are slightly turned towards each other, do not doubt his interest in further communication with you. In psychology, this gesture is regarded as a sign of anxiety and excitement, often manifested when communicating with the object of affection.
Copying gestures and poses
Unconscious repetition of the movements and gestures of the interlocutor is a clear sign of sympathy and affection. A person wants to please, tries to get closer, tries to seem sensitive and empathetic to the topic of conversation.
The guy feels inspired, his gait becomes light and flying. It feels like when a young man sees his beloved he hears pleasant melodic music, making him dance slightly.
Lip biting
Light, barely noticeable biting or licking of lips is anxiety, fear of saying something unnecessary or incorrect. The guy is worried, wants to seem friendly, well-mannered and tactful.
Broad smile
By smiling, a man wins the favor of a beautiful lady and shows his positive attitude. In this way he can flirt and flirt with the object of his love.
Funny faces
In an attempt to cheer up the girl, the guy makes a face and tries to parody famous personalities. He wants to be remembered by her as funny and perky, to stand out from the rest.
Dilated pupils
Our pupils automatically dilate when we look at someone we are romantically attracted to. This is one of the reasons why people say that the eyes can never deceive you. This process is uncontrolled.
Appraising glance
The guy’s gaze “slides” from head to toe. He looks at you appraisingly, trying to carefully examine you and, as it were, “evaluate” you.
If you want to understand that a man likes you, pay attention to his behavior. The main signs that indicate sympathy and love:
- constantly monitors his appearance (combs his hair, wears good perfume, wears ironed shirts and trousers);
- tries to touch accidentally;
- shows care and attention;
- makes compliments, admires;
- looks for common topics of conversation;
- accompanies you home, helps you carry heavy things, bags, packages;
- arranges small surprises, gives pleasant gifts;
- interested in well-being;
- calls, writes SMS messages, tries to maintain a dialogue on social networks;
- ignores other phone calls when meeting;
- asks about family, friends, childhood, talks about his family and past life;
- tries to protect and protect from negative aspects.
As psychological studies show, the positive outcome of a meeting and the first impression of you depends on your appearance and body language (non-verbal sympathy), that is, on what and how you say, how you behave. There are many signs of a man’s sympathy for a woman, by which you can determine the level of love and interest in your society. Remember that every gesture, posture and facial expression should be interpreted comprehensively in order to understand the overall picture of what is happening.
Facial expressions
Facial expressions closely border on visual contact, so pay close attention to the man’s face when you are in his field of vision. The eyebrows are the first to “give up”! In a calm state, they are unshakable, however, having caught a pretty woman, they begin to fly uncontrollably up and down, displaying their inner experiences. If a man deliberately raises one eyebrow, this gesture demonstrates deep interest in the girl!
Falling in love is clearly indicated by a man’s olfactory organ. Our nose is quite sensitive, so when we are nervous, excited, or emotionally uplifted, we breathe more often, more intensely, and deeper. At the same time, the nostrils flare, as if instead of oxygen, a person in love inhales hot air! At the same time, the lips also treacherously dry out, which is why men in love often have to lick them with their tongues. This gesture speaks of a secret desire to kiss a pretty person. We are accustomed to the fact that only women do this in attempts to seduce a man, but this is a common physiological need in the presence of the object of adoration.
And, of course, a smile! She begins to play on the lips from the first second the beloved woman enters the man’s horizons and does not go away until he sees her. Moreover, it appears involuntarily. A man may notice this and change his facial expression, but over time it treacherously resurfaces. A smile, as a rule, is sincere, wide, and kind.
Please note: if a man starts smiling from the first word you say (even if it’s not addressed to him), this is a gesture of sincere sympathy! So intuitively he wants to seem more attractive to you!
Gestures are not everything that reveals a loving man, for example, how does a man’s behavior change?
The behavior of a man when he is in love and strives to continue the relationship, one way or another, is manifested in the designation of “territory”. This is actively expressed in the fact that the man shows with gestures or even verbally that “this is my girlfriend/lover.” This behavior will intensify when other men appear who can lay claim to their beloved. If a man is interested, he will somehow indicate the status of the relationship, its existence, and use the pronoun “we” more often than usual. This will also be expressed in the construction of joint plans.
Gesticulation
Body language is an expression of feelings. With its help, you can learn not only about sympathy for yourself, but also, in principle, read all the secrets of human consciousness, since every gesture carries its own message.
The first thing that shows increased attention to a girl is the gestures of the hands of a man in love. They are always on the move. If you are discussing something, your companion’s hands actively accompany the conversation, because the guy wants to impress you as much as possible and at least somehow get into the center of your attention. Open palms will often be shown, this is a gesture of frankness: “I am open to you, I trust you, I accept you.” Relaxed hands speak of goodwill, sincerity, and tenderness. But crossed or hidden hands in a pocket scream that the interlocutor has lost interest in what is happening. If a man begins to nervously fidget with something in his hands (car keys, key fob, napkin, phone), he wants to end the meeting as soon as possible.
Follow your companion's fingers; Freud also said that their demonstration reflects sexual overtones. Does he show them, highlight them, expose them? If they are actively involved below the belt (putting thumbs in the belt of trousers, sticking fingers out of pockets, etc.) - a gesture of obvious manifestation of erotic interest, one’s authoritarianism, desire to dominate over a partner.
A man in love, when he sees a woman he is interested in, always takes care of his appearance: straightens his jacket, straightens his collar, tilts his head to look at his shoes, shakes dust off his pants.
Pay attention to the man's legs. To find out if he is in love, look at how he sits and stands in front of you. Firstly, the toes of the shoes will always be facing you, this is a subconscious gesture indicating that the companion is ready to follow the woman. Secondly, look at the other person's ankles. If he is standing, his legs will in most cases be spread wide; if he is sitting, his ankles will be crossed. By the way, if a guy is unsure of himself, in a vertical position he will need support, for this he will begin to push one leg forward. If you are in company, this leg will indicate the one he has feelings for.
Nonverbal Gestures Showing Lack of Interest
In the final chapter of our article, we will introduce you to non-verbal signals and gestures that indicate a lack of desire to communicate and reflect internal antipathy and indifference to the opponent. The signs of a man’s love for a woman, their psychology and gestures are already familiar to you, but how to determine the other side of the coin?
The first warning sign of reluctance to communicate is arms crossed over the chest. Thus, the man gives a signal that he does not intend to have close contact, and experiences some degree of awkwardness from communication.
The same message is conveyed by standing with your legs crossed, your hands hidden in your pockets, or bringing a third interlocutor into the conversation. Thus, a protective wall is erected with the help of an outsider to avoid unwanted conversations.
A bored look, yawning and covering your mouth indicate disinterest in communication and that the interlocutor is bored. Foreign objects become the main entertainment during a conversation - objects at hand are moved and twisted, pages of a book or magazine are aimlessly flipped through, or a sheet of paper is drawn on - all these are clear signals of indifference.
Even the toes of shoes pointing towards the exit and demonstrating a desire to leave the company as soon as possible provide nonverbal evidence of the desire to leave.
The ability to read the signs and signals of the human body is a very useful skill in life. In this way, you can learn to understand your interlocutor, establish contacts more effectively, and navigate situations where words do not correspond to actual inner desires.
Body position
To determine whether a man is in love, it is enough to look at the entire pose and the manifestation of individual parts of the body. But here, to clarify, it would be appropriate to take into account the guy’s character and self-esteem.
Confident men with all their gestures and external manifestations say: “Look at me, I am the one you need,” “I am strong, brave, courageous, with me you will feel safe.” Representatives of the stronger sex with high self-esteem always “stretch out” in front of a woman, wanting to appear taller, straighten their shoulders, stick their chest forward, and lift their chin. This is how they try to please the one they are in love with. Psychologists often compare such chosen ones to peacocks, showing off in front of the peahens. The body is always turned towards the beloved, legs are widely spaced. A person who stands firm demonstrates his confidence and determination.
If a guy is not too confident in himself, he will have his own signs by which one can determine whether he is in love. His head will be slightly lowered, his posture will be tense, his shoulders will be tense, and his gestures will be stingy. If you stand opposite each other, the man will not be able to stand calmly and evenly. The legs will dance every now and then, change their point of support, pick the ground, etc.
If a man can show off his figure to his companion, he will do it with great pleasure. He will play with his biceps, expose his torso, show off his abs, wearing a tight T-shirt. He will be happy to help his beloved physically: lift something, move something, catch up with someone, show endurance, etc. Guys who ignore sports will not focus on their appearance, so they suck in their stomach, wear clothes of universal sizes, They prefer quiet leisure to active leisure.
The first signs of falling in love in men
Manifestations of love are quite difficult to hide, and even a person with incredible self-control will not be able to suppress them. Gestures and changes in behavior will tell about the indifference in communication between a man and a woman.
Women's magazines and forums are full of headlines about the psychology of relationships, because girls, falling in love, desperately look for signs of a guy in love that will reveal his emotions during non-verbal communication. Indeed, psychologists say that the body language and gestures of a man in love will tell much more about his feelings for a woman than words.
Touch
Tactile contact is perhaps the most straightforward gesture indicating a man’s sympathy for a woman. The desire to touch your partner always speaks of falling in love, since you only want to feel closely a person who is pleasant to you. What can a girl notice? Firstly, the satellite is trying in every possible way to reduce the distance between you. For any reason: come close to better hear your story (show something “important”), sit closer so that there is enough space for others at the table, ask something, etc. His goal is to enter your personal space and simultaneously assess the response to this.
Secondly, pay attention to the guy's hands. A man in love always tries to unobtrusively, gently and easily touch the girl he likes. Remove a speck from your hair, shake a bug off your shoulder, “accidentally” touch it, support your elbow when descending from a slippery porch, put your hand close to yours at a meeting. If you are at the level of friendly relations, you may notice constant body movements in your direction: comic pushes, slapping the cheeks, pinching, hugging, scratching hair.
If there is more than friendship between you, but you don’t know what exactly a man feels for you, focus on his direct touches. He puts your hand tightly in his - a sign of deep affection, holds you by the waist - demonstrates his importance, touches you from behind - he is always ready to protect, console, support.
Please note: if a guy for some reason is in no hurry to touch, he may show his sympathy in a different way. For example, stroking a glass, phone, table surface, etc. with your finger. These gestures mean that he is determined to give your body affection and tenderness, but due to indecision, he is waiting for initiative from his companion. If he touches his own face, hair, neck, he is nervous because he cannot openly show his sympathy.
If you want to test a man's feelings, touch him first and gauge his reaction. The chosen one in love will gladly reciprocate with approval, tenderness. He received the green light, which means he is ready to cross that very line!
"Now it's my turn"
If you are an egoist or selfish person in life (as you know, all people are more or less like that), then sometimes it is useful to take the initiative. The main thing is that it is unexpected for the partner. Does she wash the dishes every day? Surely, the girl will be pleasantly surprised if you take all the plates and cups into your own hands. Does he go to the car wash every week to clean up the family car? Let this task become yours today. This approach will bring an unusual, new note to the relationship and will have a positive effect on them.
"Take another photo"
This approach, like the previous one, concerns girls. They are known to love being photographed. Give her the luxury of becoming a personal photographer.

Meeting friends
Have you recently met, and the candy-bouquet period is in full swing? Experiment! Introduce her or him to your friends when you meet them. This will be a cause for surprise, because such behavior is an indicator of a serious approach. However, if your attitude towards your partner is still uncertain, you should not take risks, because the situation may turn into a banal lie.
