How to tell a guy is into you – Anyone who has braved the dating scene will know that deciphering whether someone likes you can be nigh on impossible. Luckily for Femail readers, dating expert Susan Quilliam, together with dating site OkCupid.com, has put together an essential guide on how to suss out a man’s real feelings by analysing his body language.
He’s interested and he wants to see you again
Leaning in, tilting the head to one side and fully facing you are all good signs if you meet a guy!
Pose 1: Leaning in, hand on hip
Look at the model’s body. He has turned it fully towards his date, he is interested in the way she looks and he’s leaning in to have a clear grasp of what she’s saying and wants to understand her so he can articulate a good response.
His head is very slightly on one side, showing that he is listening so he is showing more than just sexual attraction and is romantically interested. His slight smile is a universal signal of approval and interest and his direct eye contact underlines his interest in this girl.
His slight curve of his torso angles in towards the female and he’s trying to literally ‘bridge the gap’ between her and him by leaning forward.
He is trying to stress his masculine shape of a wide upper body by positioning his left arm in a ‘display position’, these poses are effectively male peacocking and trying to showcase sexual prowess.
He is trying to show off his strong body in front of the female and has done this by angling his elbow out and anchoring this position in place by tucking his hand into his pocket. In turn, this also draws attention to his hips, another ‘display’ tactic in the hope of drawing the female’s attention to his upper body and emphasising his masculinity.
His right arm is angled out and reaches towards his date, again to bridge the gap. It’s so close it’s nearly touching her and he’s reaching right into her personal space. He is definitely keen!
Now look at his feet, another clear signal that he likes this girl. Without thinking about it, he has positioned them very slightly open and one is pointing towards the female.
