How to tell if a guy is into you: the nonverbal edition


Dolls, you may THINK a person (and especially a guy) is able to mask their feelings by keeping their words & how they say them under control, however, as hard as we all may try, our bodies do not lie! According to a UCLA medical study, a whopping 93% of communication effectiveness is determined by nonverbal cues! That means only 7% of communication is actually what we say, and the rest is left up to body language. So no matter how hard a guy TRIES to play off his feelings for you, check for these signs that indicate he's actually way sprung:


1. He tilts his head slightly to one side. This is a sub-conscious come hither signal showing vulnerability & hopefully make himself more approachable.

2. He positions his chest towards you. Whatever a guy aims his upper body at is the most important thing in the room to him, even if he is looking in a different direction. 

3. He lifts his eyebrows. When a guys sees a girl he finds attractive, he'll automatically lift his eyebrows, causing the center of his forehead to slightly wrinkle in the process.

4. He stands with his legs apart and pelvis facing towards you- it's a biological stance that most guys don't even realize they're doing. 

5. He slouches his shoulders. When a guy finds a girl's actions to be adorable, he gets the urge to hold her, causing his shoulders to automatically hunch.

6. He kisses you softly on the cheek or forehead. A kiss on the cheek shows he is genuinely sweet and wants to take care of you. A kiss on the forehead indicates utmost respect.

7. He has a big goofy grin around you. This is a spontaneous, unable-to-be- contained, head-over-heels smile that indicates he's toast.

9. He extends his palm- he's literally and figuratively reaching out to the person he's speaking to as an invitation to connect on a deeper level. Studies show that people almost always respond to an open palm, as it symbolizes deep trust and commitment.

10. He walks in sync with your stride- not slightly ahead or behind. This gesture is a way of showing that he respects you and wants to face the world as a united, trusting pair.

11. He cups your face in his hands. It's an almost innate gesture for a guy that he often doesn't even think about doing, which signals that he is absolutely crazy about you. 

12. He sweeps a strand of hair out of your face while talking to you. This is another example of a very sweet and caring gesture, which shows that he wants to take care of you and wants you to trust him.

15. He watches you walk away. It means he misses you the instant you leave and wants to catch one last glimpse for as long as possible.

16. He mirrors your movements. In other words, you're at a restaurant and when you pick up the glass to take a drink, he does the same. This is an innate biological gesture that most people don't even realize they're doing. It symbolizes wanting to be in sync and in unison with the object of your affection. 

17. He bear hugs you good-bye. He is overcome with his feelings towards you yet can't express it how he'd truly like to, resulting in an all-encompassing, firm embrace.

18. You catch him stealing glimpses of you then quickly looking away, showing he feels embarrassed and self conscious about getting caught in the act- not something a truly platonic friend would even care about.
