They tilt their head as you speak (a sign of engagement). They smile at you. They make eye contact with you. They reach out and touch your arm, hand, back, or leg.
How can you tell if someone likes you but doesn't show it?
Notice if they look for attention.
Someone who likes you may do something to have you notice them. Watch if they talk louder when you're nearby, or starts laughing with their friends when you're around. They may not talk to you on a social website, but they'll "like" a bunch of things you do online.
One of the most common signs a guy likes you is when he smiles every time he sees you and asks lots of questions to prolong your conversations. Let's say you cross this guy in the hallway of school or work. You stop to talk. His face lights up, and he has a broad smile plastered across it.
If a guy reaches out to touch you, and it's a touch that you want, he probably likes you. This is a sure sign of romantic interest, and it usually means that a guy is genuinely interested in you. Along with eye contact, if he leans forward when he talks to you, he's creating a space for the two of you to communicate.
In the context of relationships, mixed signals are when a person is expressing interest in someone while also simultaneously expressing a lack of interest or a desire to keep their distance, causing confusion for the other person.
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.
He may think he is not in your league, you are with someone, want to keep his options open, and want you to approach him are the common reasons for acting distant. Men who do not want a serious relationship or are already committed can act distinctly to women they like.
Men who are attracted to you might even engage in more touch. If a man actively tries to touch you during your interaction, it may mean he wants to get closer to you or close the distance between you two.
