You might see him make eye contact with you, and then “dip” his eyes down to scan the rest of your body. This is a clear sign that he’s interested in you and he wants to see more.
When a guy is shy, he might not make a ton of eye contact with you. However, you’ll definitely notice him checking you out, even if it’s from afar. Landing a shy guy might be a little different than landing a super extroverted guy. Typically, they like it when you make the first move.
On the flip side, if your arms are crossed, you’re facing away from him, and you’re not glancing in his direction, he’ll probably take the hint that you don’t like him.
Try to take stock of your own look today: are you wearing something colorful and eye-catching? If so, he might not be hitting on you, and he may just have an appreciation for your taste.
You can usually figure this one out by the look on his face: if he looks puzzled or concerned, he’s probably thinking deeply and trying to figure out who you are.
He might have a scowl on his face or keep his arms crossed to subtly “intimidate” you.
You might also notice that he turns his body toward you. This is because he wants to face you, and he’s open to talking with you more.
You might also see him subtly flex his muscles (to look stronger) or fix his hair (to appear more well-groomed).
Feeling bold? Try making eye contact and then scanning his body, too. This sends a clear message that you noticed what he’s doing (and you’re into it).
“Have we met yet? I’m Adriana, nice to meet you. ” “Hey, I wanted to introduce myself. How do you know Danielle?” “Have you been here before?”
“I love your sweater. The color really complements your skin tone. ” “Your beard is so cool! How long did it take you to grow it out?” “I saw you from across the room, and I just had to say that your hair is stunning. ”
This works on some guys, but other guys won’t really care. If he does approach you and start chatting with you, use the steps below to get rid of him.
“Sorry, I’m not interested. I’m just here with my girlfriends. ” “You’re wasting your time with me. I’m not here to flirt with anyone. ” You could even tell him that you’re feeling uncomfortable if he takes things too far. If a guy is hitting on you and won’t leave you alone, tell a friend or a friendly stranger and stay near them until you feel safe.
“I’m flattered, but I have a boyfriend. ” “I’m actually here with my girlfriend. ”
