An upright posture most likely indicates that while he likes you, he is not interested in a romantic sense
Just friends
Pose 4: Male standing tall but with smile and open left hand
Here, the male is clearly just hoping to be friends. He has turned his body towards the female which shows his interest but his straight posture shows that he probably isn’t interested in ‘bridging the gap’ between them because he is not leaning forward.
Unlike in the previous pose, there is no ‘display position’ so he’s not bothering to emphasise his masculine shape or draw attention to his hips. It could be said he’s simply standing in neutral.
He has his right arm pulled back and has his hand within his own, not the female’s personal space.
His fingers are curled and not pointing towards the female unlike in the previous pose.
With his left arm by his side, there is no ‘display’ but his open arm and hand shows an ‘openness’ to the female’s ideas and he intends to include her in the conversation. The way his head and neck are angled forward and the slight tilt of his head are also signs of this. His legs are together and straight, there are no ‘display’ signs and ‘no bridging the gap.’
