Learning to recognize a guy’s body language cues sooner rather than later can be one of the most important skills in your dating arsenal. On a good date, you’ll have surefire proof he’s into you, and on a less-than-great date, you’ll be saved from potential embarrassment (he’s clearly bored by your “that time I got drunk with my boss” story) — or even clued into the fact that he’s not worth a second drink (he barely makes eye contact, staring at everyone else in the room).
Positive body language (AKA, he’s into you):
- He gives you long periods of sustained eye contact.
- He moves or leans in closer to you.
- He occasionally looks down and away out of shyness or nervousness.
- He keeps his arms relaxed and uncrossed.
- He gives you real, genuine smiles, as opposed to fake smiles which are mouth-only. A genuine smile is all in the eyes.
Negative body language (AKA he’s not that into you):
- He keeps moving or leaning away from you.
- His feet stay pointed away from you or toward an exit.
- He keeps his arms and/or legs crossed for long periods of time.
- He continually rubs or scratches his nose, eyes, or the back of his neck.
- He keeps looking away from you, with his eyes going to the side (as opposed to down).
