One of the easiest ways to tell whether or not someone likes you is to pay attention to their intent, explains Bumble's sex and relationship expert Shan Boodram. Calling when they say they will, not flaking on plans, and reciprocating the time and energy you put into the connection shows intent.
If he's just nice, he might listen to you, but his eyes will probably be elsewhere. But a guy giving true, prolonged, and frequent eye contact is a clear sign that the guy is interested in you romantically. Increased eye contact doesn't look like staring. He won't make you uncomfortable with his gaze.
You will often witness a spark in their eyes when they are looking at you or having a conversation with you. They will smile at you as if you are art personified. You can tell if someone likes you if you can sense them looking at you even when you are pretending not to notice.
The clues aren't always obvious, but you can see some of them by paying attention. When someone finds you physically attractive, it shows by always making eye contact, always wanting to touch you physically, and frequently initiating conversations.
They are interested in what you have to say and ask you lots of questions. They laugh at your jokes, even the lame ones. They initiate physical contact. They try to find space where you can talk more privately (this does not always mean sex, but it often means they wish for more quality time with you).
If he compliments your eyes, the color of your hair, your laugh, or an admirable aspect of your personality, then he's definitely flirting with you. He may even tease you a bit while flirting with you, like if he says something like, "That's the brightest sweater I have ever seen," but he's still flirting with you.
If he is showing that he is curious to get to know you and learn more about you, this might mean that he is interested in you more than just a friend. This isn't just about him asking questions, but more so about whether or not he is listening to the things you share with him and showing that he cares about your needs.
If a boy really has a crush on you, then he'll be likely to give you all of his attention. He'll turn his body toward you, make eye contact, and won't look around for his other friends or text them during your conversation (unless he uses his phone as a crutch because he's nervous).
Guys may use nonverbal cues to drop hints that they like you, such as eye contact, physical touch, compliments, and nervousness around you. However, these signs are not always definitive and may not always indicate romantic interest.
Prolonged eye contact, raised eyebrows, and dilated pupils are all evidence of attraction. A person might lick or bite their lips or look at your lips if they're attracted to you as well. Open body language and facial expressions are also signs a guy or girl is feeling attraction towards you.
Key Takeaways. The instant attraction and that ”spark” you feel with someone is a tell-tale sign of chemistry between you two. If you find yourself making intense eye contact, flirting, and always smiling at someone, you probably have good chemistry with them.
How does your body react when you are attracted to someone?
High levels of dopamine and a related hormone, norepinephrine, are released during attraction. These chemicals make us giddy, energetic, and euphoric, even leading to decreased appetite and insomnia – which means you actually can be so “in love” that you can't eat and can't sleep.
Guys who truly wish to make an impression and demonstrate to a girl that they are really interested in her will make an effort to listen attentively when she talks. They will even go further than this and ask questions to try and show even more interest.
They will flirt with everyone and charm them, because that's just how they are. But when a man likes you, his manner of flirting will be quite different. It may be little, subtle differences, but they will be there. So pay close attention.
