Decoding (h)(i)(s) body language

Signs he’s not that into you:
  • He leans away from you. Don’t mistake this for the masculine performance described above, however. If his attention turns elsewhere, he changes subjects, or loses his sparkle when he leans away from you, he is not doing it to show off his physique.
  • He looks around the room, often meaning that he’s looking for something else to catch his attention.
  • You notice him fidgeting more than you would expect from nerves. This says that he is bored or jittery for reasons that have nothing to do with you. Either way, he isn’t consumed with ecstasy in your presence, so he’s probably a fish you can throw back.
  • His feet and body facing away from you. This mean that you are a side show to the main even he’s waiting for. If one doesn’t come along, he might settle for you, but that is not really good enough, so find a guy who gives you a full frontal.
  • He yawns. Ok, this one is only excusable if you know he just came off of an 18 hour shift at the hospital saving people’s lives.
  • He raises his eyebrows with insincere enthusiasm during your conversation. Unless it is surprise that you see, wide eyes and raised brows are just a more subtle expression than rolling his eyes.

Signs he is just looking to get it on:

  • He puts his thumbs through his belt loops or tucked into the top of his pants, a natural response to his aching desire. Sometimes you’ll see a guy doing this purely to rest his hands. Look for other signs before you assume that the guy next to you in line at the post office is hoping to get some.
  • He sits with his knees on either side of yours. You would be most likely to notice this in a bar or café setting where you are sitting quite close together anyway, but he finds a way (maybe subconsciously, maybe not) to bring you toward his groin area. Silly as it sounds, now that you are aware of it, you will be surprised at how often it happens.
  • He positions himself within arms length of you. A nice guy (or a bad one really good at his game) won’t invade your space enough to make you feel uncomfortable, but he’ll get closer than he does to other women. However, physical intimacy that surprises you or makes you uncomfortable is a big red flag. That indicates he doesn’t have respect for your boundaries and isn’t interesting in falling in love with you.

Signs he’s performing the same act that he’s done for many other women:

  • He acts surprised when you don’t have the reaction he expected to something he did or said. He’s performed for so many gullible girls before that he can’t believe it when you don’t fall for his tricks.
  • He begs for you to do something (he might show you his pouty lip, bat his eyes, or even hold his hands in a prayer position trying to be irresistible) because he’s used to getting his way regardless of whether the other person wants to or not.
  • You feel like he is pushing your boundaries, physically or verbally. If he does this, you can assume that he thinks of you as an easy target.
  • He tilts his head back often, a pose of domination. Sometimes a man will take this stance instinctually as a display of masculinity, but this positive sign is subtle. Obvious and consistent back head tilts can be a sign that he lacks humility and has an aggressive nature.
