It can generally go without saying that love is an important part of life. Many people spend a good chunk of their time finding someone who they will be happy to spend the rest of their lives with. Finding the perfect partner is something that takes a lot of time, dedication, and patience. If you really want to have the best chances of finding a man for you, then there are a few things that you should remember and keep in mind.

For example, when you know how men express their love for their partners, you will be able to look for the subtle signs of this to ensure that your man truly loves you. Knowing whether or not a man is attracted to you can also help you out immensely if you are trying to decide whether or not to ask him out. There are many reasons why you should have a good idea of how men express their love.

As with many behaviors, there are two main parts to pay attention to when you are trying to gauge how someone feels about you. You will want to pay attention to the way that person speaks, what comes out of their mouth, and generally if they are comfortable talking to you. Additionally, you should look at their body language.

While humans communicate primarily through verbal language, there are plenty of nonverbal body cues that people give off, especially when they are interested in someone. Knowing the physical signs of whether or not a guy likes you will be very important for when you want to begin taking a good friendship to the next level. Thankfully, there are only a few things that you will need to remember.

Understanding Communication

Many people say that communication is a two-way street and this is certainly true. However, to know what to say and when to say it, you should be able to understand what the other person is saying as well. For instance, if you want to know how to know if a guy likes you, you are going to need to know what to look for both in his speech and also in his body language.

Some men communicate primarily through speech and directly letting you know how he feels. Other men communicate primarily through body language and aren’t always quick to speak their feelings. There are also plenty of men out there who use a combination of both speech and body language to communicate with you.

Chances are that if you want to make sure that a guy likes you, you have been around him long enough to know how he primarily communicates. When you know the main way that he lets others know how he’s feeling, you should try to make sure to pay more attention to that. Of course, you should still pay attention to all the body cues a guy gives off, especially if you want to make sure that he likes you.

The one thing that you should remember is that all men are different and that there are plenty of men out there who do not realize that body language communicates as much as it does. If body language communication is an important factor in your relationship with a guy, you should make sure that he knows. It is never fair to expect a guy to communicate the way you want him to, as all men are different and communicate in their own ways. Part of learning whether or not a guy likes you is learning about how he communicates and adapting to that.

What Are Some Things a Guy Might Say?

Speaking to people is the most direct way that men can get to know you and learn more about you. With that being said, if a guy is interested in you, then there’s a very good chance that he will begin talking more to you, asking you questions, and generally making time in the day to be able to speak to you personally.

This behavior can come in a few different forms. It may be direct, with him asking to spend more time with you, asking about yourself and your day, and speaking to you in a more casual and relaxed manner. Other times, it may be more indirect, with him simply wanting to have more conversations with you without there being any particular topic. This way, he is still choosing to spend time with you, but he may not be extremely direct about it.

If you notice that a man is taking more time out of his day to speak with you, then that is a good clue that he is interested in you. Keep in mind that, especially in the workplace, there are some circumstances where he simply needs to talk to you and it isn’t out of interest. You should pay attention to when he chooses to speak to you so that you can get a good idea on whether or not he is choosing to spend time with you specifically or if you were there by coincidence.

When guys are interested in you, some of them may turn to teasing you and playing almost hard-to-get, much like girls do. This is often a clear sign that this guy thinks of you as someone very close to him, and if he ends up doing this, then it may be time to begin seeing if you can pursue anything with him. The teasing should be relatively gentle and it should be in good spirits, and it is more often younger guys who will employ this tactic than older men.

Knowing a Man’s Body Language

All people communicate through body language, although some people are a lot more obvious about it than others. Because people primarily communicate through speech, you might not think about body language all that often. However, it can be extremely important in setting the tone of a conversation. For example, if someone you are speaking to has their arms crossed and seems to be staring you down, then there’s a good chance that this person is angry, even if they do not vocally announce it to you.

When a man is interested in you, he will often want to be physically closer to you. He may make excuses to sit beside or across from you, or he may find small excuses to touch you lightly, such as moving hair out of your eyes. You should remember that you have your own boundaries and that if the touching is ever unwelcome, you should make this very clear. Many men will touch the arms and thighs in the beginning, and as things become closer and more intimate, he may put his hands on your back, hips, and waist.

Often, people will angle themselves toward the people they are paying attention to in conversation. If a man consistently angles himself toward you during conversation, even in groups of people, he is likely interested in you. This can include pointing his feet toward you, facing you directly, and even looking over in your direction more often than not.

Knowing When it Is Time to Make a Move

When all is said and done, it may be hard to distinguish some of these signs apart from a good friendship with a guy. After all, good friends will want to spend time with you. They will be kind to you and sometimes tease you, and most importantly, they will pay attention to you. There are a few clear signs to keep in mind on whether or not it is time for you to make a move on the guy you are interested in, and is hopefully interested in you as well.

The clearest sign you can ask for is when he begins to change his life to be around you more. This can mean anything from helping you move into expressing newfound interests in things that you enjoy. When a man begins changing his life for you, then that would be a good time to begin getting closer to him.
