11 Physical Gestures That Men Use When They Are In Love

When it comes to the matters of the heart, men are not always open and transparent about it. Often times, they are too shy to make a move or say what they feel. While men can hide their emotions from words, their body language often gives away what they feel.

Here are 11 physical gestures that you are likely to see if the guy is in love with you.

1. He blinks rapidly

If he blinks more rapidly than usual when he is around you, it shows excitement. The normal blinking rate of an average human is 20 blinks a minute, but if you notice him blinking several times than that, it’s safe to say he is into you.

2. He walks at your pace

If a man is interested in you, he will try to walk beside you. It’s a subconscious expression of saying that he wants to be recognized as someone who can be in sync with you. If you find him trying to change his pace to match yours, it’s a sign that he has feelings for you.

3. He smiles widely when he sees you

Guys tend to show their front teeth while smiling when he is really enjoying himself. If you see him do that, you can consider it a sign that you make him happy and he wants you. And he will do anything to earn a laugh out of you.

4. He touches his neck

Men do not do it very often. Reaching for one’s own neck while speaking to someone is a gesture inherited from our primal selves. It shows vulnerability. If he does that while talking to you, he is likely to be concerned about how you see him — a sign that he likes you.

5. He takes deep breaths when you see him

Another evolutionary behavior is of making oneself large by puffing up the chest by taking deep breaths. Males used to do this to appear desirable in pre-historic times. If he is doing that, he is trying to impress you by appearing stronger and larger than those around him.

6. He licks his lips, non-provocatively

This type of lip-licking would be fast and almost unnoticeable (Not slow, which would be creepy). As the science goes, humans tend to produce more saliva when they attracted to someone. So keep an eye out if you notice him doing this, or pressing his lips together.

7. His pupils are wide and dilated

This is a biological response to love and attraction. If his eyes show dilated and huge pupils, even when it’s not dark, then he surely has feelings for you.

8. He touches you lightly

This is an indication that he wants to be closer to you. If he very lightly touches your forearm or shoulder to get your attention, it means he cares for you.

9. He looks back

This is a classic sign. While walking away from you, does he look back to catch a glimpse of you? If he does, it’s a very cute and subtle sign that he cares about you — men in love tend to do this.

10. He sits with his legs spread

For men, this is a show of vulnerability and real interest. Also, if he sits like this in front you, it shows he is open to know you, and also bear the emotional responsibility that comes with it.

11. He mirrors your body language

This is also seen in couples who are in love. Mirroring each others’ body language comes naturally, and it shows that they are open and wants to come close to you. If he does this while talking to you, then he clearly into you.
