Body language
“Body language speaks a lot when it comes to knowing a guy that wants to date you.” — Dami Rhythms
It may — but it could also be very misleading.
You should observe the eye contact he makes with you, the way he leans toward you, and his sitting position
Proximity
The “signs” say:
People who like you are “anticipating the opportunity to become closer to you.”
Which, is true. But the problem with this is: sometimes people just like being close to others. Like, I like crowds and the middle seats on planes. I like throwing my arm around whoever is closest to me. That doesn’t mean I want to bang these people.
Leaning toward you
“They lean toward you… they just want to be close to you!” — Bustle
Feet / Toes
“The feet tend to point where the heart wants to go” — Wood
Please no more with the feet and toes. I almost never point my feet or toes toward the person I’m attracted to. We need to stop with this.
Mirroring:
The “signs” say:
“If they mimic your gestures, odds are they like you.”
Lemme be real honest: this is a basic “trick” of rapport. I’ve used “mirroring” in every single job interview I’ve been on since learning about it, and in most of the “big” in-person discussions I’ve had since.
So sure, it may indicate rapport or even desire — but that doesn’t always mean it’s sexual.
Touching
The “signs” read:
“If there’s a lot of arm-touching or ‘accidental’… grazing, take heed: that probably wasn’t an accident.” —
Bustle
“Touch is a key sign of interest that will help you develop a relationship and you can use touch.” — Dami Rhythms
“If the guy moves his head towards your direction or touches you back. That means he has interest in you.” —
Dami Rhythms
“If they’re interested, they might brush against you, or won’t move away if you brush against them.”
But like, great. You know who else touches me? My great aunt. Especially when she wants me to take a second helping of tuna casserole or something.
The other problem with this: touch can be forced. Like, when I want to
create chemistry, I can touch someone. Easy as hell. And I’m not saying everyone (o even anyone)
who does this is faking it, the reality is that “touch” is a major element in artificially creating (or maybe I should say “amplifying?”) rapport, as exemplified in pickup artist communities’ use of “kino” — touching someone in order to build comfort and attraction.
They lick their lips
Cosmo, geniuses that they are, wrote,
“When you’re into someone, you produce surplus saliva… If they quickly lick their lips or press them together, this weird phenomenon may be happening.”
Ever since I read that this was a “sign,” I’ve been hyper aware of when I do it. And lemme be real honest: I do it almost every time I talk to someone. Now to be fair, I also sometimes wanna lick people’s faces, so maybe I’m the weirdo. Though I doubt it.
There are so many stupid signs. •

The Signs That Matter
4. Staring (when you’re not speaking to each other)
“If they can’t stop staring… you’ve got your first clue.” — Bustle
This includes: glancing over, extending eye contact, flat-out staring, looking at you while they laugh, etc. This is especially true for dudes, and I’ve almost never found a scenario when this wasn’t true. Even when I assume the glance isn’t attraction, I very often later find out it was.
3. They want time with you
“They make plans… if they want to see you again sometime soon, they’re into you. No one wants to commit to something next Thursday unless they actually really want to spend time with you.” — Bustle
One big indicator (that you’ll likely not see, but is still there) is scheduling a party and inviting a bunch of people when you’re the only one they actually want to see. That is huge.
2. They want ALONE time — uninterrupted — with you
And “they minimize interruptions and distractions — putting their phone away, and resisting interruptions.”
If they are willing to spend along time with you, it’s probably a good sign. That being said, I have totally hung out with people one on one who didn’t make a move. So.
1. They treat you differently than anyone else
This is probably THE BIGGEST SIGN (below the actual biggest sign, below.)
Take any of the signs above — and all of the others I didn’t include — and just know that: all of these differ based on who they are and how they act with others.
Like, for me: “time” is the tell. I am normally a private person who can
spend days on end by myself, and
would rather hang out alone than with people I don’t like. I’ll flirt with anything that moves, but if I want to spend time with someone, it’s because I like them. (Or I want something from them, i.e., we work together, which also happens.)
But for other people, socializing is
just socializing and doesn’t mean that much. Their “tells” are something else — and it’s for us to figure out.
The actual biggest sign: they tell you flat out that they like you.
Obviously, if someone comes right out and tells you, “Hey, Bozo, I like you!” then they probably do! Of course, it’s no secret at that point.
Again, even if someone says it as “a joke,” it probably isn’t. They’re just looking for a positive reaction but don’t have the guts to tell you in an obvious way.
If your friend straight up tells you that they like you, take it seriously. Even if you don’t like them back, have a talk with them and let them know, in no uncertain terms, how you feel. You might be worried that you’ll lose their friendship, but it’s better than stringing them along and making them think they have a chance with you.
