When a man keeps his feelings secret from you, he may act nervously, such as playing with his fingers or running his fingers through his hair. So, if you notice him being jittery around you, even shaking slightly, or having difficulty talking to you, it's likely that he secretly likes you and is trying to hide it.
They become attention-seekers.
The most evident sign that boys like you is when they are determined to get your attention. Guys who have a secret crush on you can be too loud whenever you are around. They could be cracking a lot of jokes, trying to dominate conversations, or laughing too loud.
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.
If you notice he is making more eye contact with you or you catch a guy staring at you, he is probably attracted to you. He may be enthralled by your good looks and may be fantasizing about kissing you. Perhaps he stares at you and smiles; that could mean he likes you, too.
If a boy has a crush on you, then he'll go out of his way to try to impress you. He'll want you to think that he's brave, exciting, cool, or even wacky. The next time you're around the boy who might have a crush on you, see if he starts trying to say or do something that is calculated to impress you.
Men prefer a woman who can stay calm and relaxed. Beauty is more than make-up and a fancy haircut. Men find women more attractive when they are neat and clean. Men find women who smell nice, who have clean hair and hydrated skin more attractive than a face perfectly covered in makeup.
He gives you genuine compliments
Most men who like a woman, like to let her know that she looks or smells nice. If a guy is really into you, he may also give you compliments for your character or intelligence, he might say something like: “You're so kind/sweet/caring/smart.”
Certain body language, like licking his lips, moving his legs closer to you, asking about other men in your life, and raising his eyebrows while you talk, can clue you in about someone secretly liking you.
They find ways to spend time with you
You try to find excuses to spend time with them as well. And when you meet up, you will sense they have eyes and ears for you and you alone. They will take the lead to make plans with you. They will listen to all your stories no matter how long or boring or detailed they are.
Some other men choose other gifts. Whether your partner stands up for you during a difficult time, goes with you to visit your family, does little jobs for you, attends important functions with you, puts you first in his thoughts or plans trips, dates or outings, the message is the same. He loves you.
Conceal the extent of your feelings for him.
This may make him confess his feelings for you sooner. Give him a chance to miss you or wonder what you're doing. Allow him the opportunity to text or call you first. If he asks you what you're doing over the weekend, be honest, but make your plans sound exciting and rich.
According to science, men find women more attractive when they are smart, intelligent, caring, confident, humorous, kind, independent, and supportive. Although these qualities may generally apply, what one man may find the most attractive may differ from another.
Heterosexual men tend to be attracted to women who have a youthful appearance and exhibit features such as a symmetrical face, full breasts, full lips, and a low waist–hip ratio.
During the flirting stage, a guy who likes you will attempt to show you his best sides. He'll talk about his new apartment, his band, his promotion, or his talents. Some men may even shower you with expensive gifts, invite you to watch them play a sport, or make an extra effort to improve their physical appearance.
Contrary to popular belief, guys always seek attention from girls—especially the ones they like. Guys try to hide the fact that they like the girl by teasing her. In a way, it's still flirting.
Another clear sign he likes you is if he is actively trying to hang out with you, or help you, or find out more about you. There are also indicators like eye contact or compliments, and showing that he's interested in your physical appearance, or who you are as a person.
Attraction Cue #5: Eye Contact
When you are with this person, do they make eye contact with you for a longer time than with the average person? If this person is making deep (intimate or extended) eye contact with you, you know you have the green light. They like you, either romantically or as a friend/coworker/etc.
Your cheeks flush, palms sweat, and heart races
“This can lead to having a physical sensation of craving and the desire to focus your attention on that specific person,” she says.
