There is always talk of women’s “innate” ability to detect when a man is interested in them. There are a series of gestures, signs and signals that men cannot avoid doing when they are near a girl that drives them crazy .

But even though some signs are quite evident, many women have trouble knowing whether a boy is interested in them or not. The information can be ambiguous at times, to the point where many girls don’t even know if there is physical attraction, or a simple friendship.

Does that boy like you? Signs that can help you know

To clarify these aspects that are unmistakable signs of attraction, we have prepared this little guide so that you know when a man really likes you, with a high degree of reliability.

1. Permanent smile

A classic. If the man in front of you can’t stop smiling when you’re around, for no apparent reason, he might like you, a lot. The smile is one of the essential ways to express that another person causes us good feelings .

If he likes talking to you, he’ll often come up to you and ask you anything, and he’s in a high mood when he’s around you… chances are he has special feelings for you.

2. It’s fixed in your mouth

A more subtle sign, but also a good indicator of whether he likes you. If when you speak she notices your lips and mouth a lot, it may be a sign that she likes you .

If he looks at your mouth, he’ll probably want to kiss you. Obviously this doesn’t mean that anyone who looks at your lips is desperately wanting to kiss you, but it can be a sign that, when added to others, can be enough to make you think that there is attraction in the air. Watching your lips is an unconscious gesture, but it says a lot about the intention of the boy you are chatting with.

3. He pays attention to you

This is a more evident sign, although many women do not value it as it deserves . If he gives you attention, care and pampering, it is very likely that he is interested in you. If he also has gestures and is gentle… it is even clearer.

If you notice that every time you say something he shows interest, if he tries to catch up on the subjects you usually talk about… you should start thinking that this boy is attracted to you.

4. He is kind to you

Another classic, and one of the most obvious signs: if that man is nice to you, if he tries to make things easier for you and subtly praises you, he’s interested in you .

But watch out, we’ll have to see if he has a special way with you or if he’s equally gentlemanly with everyone… calibrate this, it’s up to you.

5. Find common ground

One of the most obvious signs that a man likes you is his predisposition to find hobbies and points in common with you , for example when you chat or when you express to him that you especially like something.

If you tell him that you love surfing and he automatically tells you that he would love to learn how to surf… clear sign of attraction. If you love dance music and he tells you that he loves it too, and invites you to a concert… well, that’s also a sign that there’s something special. Why does this happen? When we like someone, we try to offer an image of half an orange, to give him or her the impression that we are a potential partner for him or her. Sharing hobbies is one of the ways to connect on a romantic and emotional level.

6. Can’t help but get nervous

Even the most confident men show signs of feeling somewhat insecure when they are around that girl they dream about. Stiffness, hesitant attitude, thinking a lot about what they say or do, unnatural movements … are signs of this nervousness.

7. Body posture

In another article we talked about non-verbal language. It may be another area where you can see certain signs of attraction to you. For example, if you imitate your posture, if you direct your body directly at yourself, if you stick out your chest… all these body gestures can indicate attraction.

8. Wants to spend time with you

One of the most obvious signs that a man feels an uncontrollable attraction to you is the following: if he tries to make you look out of the ordinary, invites you out for a drink, or appears “casually” at your work, he wants to be close to you.

Any pretext a man may use to see you, you can interpret it as a sign of physical and/or romantic attraction . In the end, he is deciding to prioritize you over other people or hobbies. If that is not a sign of attraction, let God come down and see it.

Remarks, nuances and extra tips

First of all, a small nuance: we human beings are very complex. It is possible that someone is showing you signs that you interpret incorrectly. For example, a boy may be trying to spend a lot of time with you for some reason other than physical attraction. You should value this and take it into account.

Anyway, and although humans are capable of lying through words, gestures and non-verbal communication is much more difficult to conceal . That’s why gestures, although they may be subtle, offer us a practical way to know what that boy is thinking about you.

Another suggestion is not to close doors on yourself: there are a lot of kids who want to meet you. For example, you can check out our article on flirting apps.
