Obvious signs to know if a guy is flirting with you

Ever wonder if that nice guy is flirting with you? There are a few proven ways that can tell you if he is interested in you. While it’s difficult to read body language at times, it’s possible if you know where to start.
Here are some proven ways that men unconsciously and even consciously let you know that they like you. Take a look, see what you see and maybe you will find your love right now.

Lovely Smile: A lovely smile is a good sign and, when it comes to flirting, it’s one of the surest signs he is interested in you. If you notice that he is smiling at you, there’s a good chance he likes you and wants to approach you. Maybe he is shy, so why not show him your confidence and courage by approaching him first?
Of course, if you like him. After all, there is nothing to be ashamed of if you approach a man first. Just smile back, initiate a conversation with him and don’t try to play hard to get. Playing hard to get is a great boost, but often it’s a big turn-off for guys.

Shy Blush: Perhaps you know how it’s difficult to flirt with shy guys, but it doesn’t mean that you should avoid such type of man. If you notice that a guy blushes around you, this is one of the most obvious signs he is trying to flirt with you.
However, not only do shy guys blush, any guy can actually blush when he sees a beautiful girl. Blushing is a bodily function that we can’t control, and if he blushes around you, he certainly likes you.

Eye Contact: This sign is a little bit tricky, but surely worth paying attention to. Eye contact is important during communication, and we need to use this form of body language as often as we can. Depending on how long a man holds an eye contact with you, you can find out whether or not he likes you.
If he holds an eye contact with you for longer than an average person, it might be a sign he is interested in you. We all make an eye contact when flirting, right? It’s the same for guys. If a guy keeps a short eye contact, he might also flirt with you. He is just a bit shy.

Mirroring: Sometimes men mirror woman’s actions without even knowing it. Mirroring is another sign he is flirting with you.
This ranges from mirroring blink rates to mirroring manner of speaking. For instance, you are laughing, and he is laughing as well. The thing is, it’s natural for us to mirror something we love. Besides, a lot of singles dating websites advise guys to use the mirroring technique when flirting with girls; maybe your crush does this too.

Hands On Hips: If he stands with his hands on the hips or places the thumbs in the belt loops, he might be interested in you. This way, he is trying to show you he is a confident man and simply true macho.
I personally don’t like when guys use this way while flirting with girls, but still it’s one of the signs he is flirting with you.

Flirting Touch: If your crush touches you, it’s definitely a sign he likes you. But, when a guy touches you accidentally, this is absolutely another sign to watch out for.
It means the guy is trying to get your attention and find any excuse to continue a conversation with you. Do you like that guy? If yes, flirt back! Most girls ignore this important sign, but you shouldn’t do it. After all, he might be your hubby!

Head Tilts: The way a man tilts his head can also signify that he likes you. If he tilts the head towards you, this means he’s listening attentively to each word you say.
This also means he’s attuned to what you are talking about, and he’s really interested in conversation with you. I love that amazing feeling when a man is listening to me. I always appreciate it, even if I’m not interested in that man.

Dilated Pupils: Sometimes our eyes give us away when we don’t want them to. When we are attracted to someone or something our pupils dilate, and they become larger.
When we don’t like someone or something, our pupils contract; if you notice that the eyes of the guy keep dilating, it’s one of the most obvious signs he adores you and is highly interested in you.

Raised Eyebrows: You crush may hide his eyes when he is around you because he likes you. He can keep his eyebrows a little bit raised as well.
If his eyes are widened and his eyebrows remain raised while you’re talking, this is definite sign he is flirting with you. Watch for it and you’ll surely see it!
