A guide to male body language
Body language will always give you away. Learn how to spot the tell-tale signs of a man who's interested in you and you'll never be left guessing again!
The Approach
If a man is interested, as he approaches you he will pull in his tummy, puff up his chest and stand taller. Then the preening begins...!
The preening begins...
Preening
This will take the form of:
Reaching for his throat and straightening his tie
Smoothing his collar
Brushing imaginary dust from his shoulder
Rearranging his shirt, cufflinks or other clothing
Smoothing his hair

Thumbs in belt
Key signs he's interested
Hooking his thumbs in his belt
This highlights the genital region and says 'I'm virile'.
(When used with other men this means they are staking their territory and showing that they're not afraid).

Leaning towards you
Body positioning
Body positioning is key, if he's interested he'll turn his body towards you. If you're standing or sitting in a group look at his feet, if one or both of them are pointing in your direction it's a good sign.
It's all in the eyes...
Holding your gaze
Holding your gaze for even just a split second longer than necessary, combined with dilated pupils, means you're DEFINITELY in there.
Women are excellent at using the intimate gaze - men are not and often don't even pick up on it when they're on the receiving end of one. A man's intimate gaze is generally very obvious.
A sure sign
The intimate gaze
Look out for the eyes following the 'triangular formation':
- eye to eye
- then down to the mouth and chin
- down to the rest of the body
- and back up to the eyes again in a triangular formation.

Hands on hips
Hands on hips is done to make him appear bigger and to show readiness for involvement!
If you're picking up positive signals you're now ready to progress to making the first move
