He may lean in closer when you’re discussing
important topics or nod when you say
something poignant, showing how much your
words mean to him.
1. Passionate, Long-Lasting Kisses:
Who doesn’t love an excellent, lengthy kiss?
When he’s continuously initiating these and you
can feel the passion each time he does, it is
clear that he’s more than just a little excited to
be around you.
2. His Friends Love You:
If all his buddies are starting to warm up to
you and truly seem to enjoy your company, it
could be because they know how happy you’re
making their friend — thus making them start
to find you as awesome as he does.
3. Close Personal Distance:
You know how it’s unnerving when somebody
you’re not interested in gets close to you? It’s
the complete opposite when someone you adore
tends to be closer in distance than he is to other
people.
4. Smiling After Kissing:
Sure, you can have a little sweet smile after
kissing someone whose company you enjoy, but
do you ever just feel like positively beaming
when it’s someone you love? If you catch
him grinning after your kisses all the time, it’s
a great sign that he truly enjoys your company.
5. He Listens Intently:
While he might not be saying much when it
comes to your relationship and his feelings
about it, the fact that he listens closely when
you’re talking is incredibly significant. He may
lean in closer when you’re discussing important
topics or nod when you say something poignant,
showing how much your words mean to him.
6. Upright Posture:
Most of us tend to slouch and have poorer
posture than we should. However, if you’re
trying to impress the person you care about
most and want him or her to be most attracted
to you, you’re going to stand or sit straight up.
7. Hand Squeezing:
I once had a relationship with a guy who loved
holding my hand and would occasionally
squeeze it tightly when we were cuddling or out
with friends, but hated any other kind of cutesy
couple-like act. I always wondered why he was
so opposed, but then I realized that every time
he squeezed my hand, he was trying to say, “I
love you” in a quiet, simple way.
8. Calling (Or Texting) For No Reason:
Not all people do this when in love, so don’t
take it personally if he doesn’t. That said, it’s a
sign that he feels comfortable with you in non-
romantic situations as well as the obvious ones,
and that he’s thinking of you throughout the
day.
9. He Sticks Around:
Does he like to do activities together for no
reason? For example, rather than just wanting
to meet up at a dinner party, he’d rather go
grocery shopping with you beforehand so the
two of you can make a dish to bring together.
Simply doing household things shows an
interest in being closer than just casual daters
or sex partners.
10. Eye Contact Often:
When you’re at a bar with friends, does he
glance across the room just to make eye contact
briefly and smile at one another? This indicates
how, even when you two are doing different
things, he still wants you to be aware of how
much he cares.
11. Hair Ruffling:
When people are nervous, they tend to run
their fingers through their hair more often than
normal. Does he do this when the pair of you
are in close proximity to one another and it’s
a romantic moment? If so, it could show that
he wants to say something intimate but can’t
find the words.
12. Mirrored Behavior:
Does he tend to take bites of his food at the
same time as you or do other things similarly?
He could be displaying isopraxism, the
matching or behaviors that couples tend to do
when becoming closer together.
13. Meaningful Gifts:
When I say ‘meaningful,’ I don’t mean
‘expensive’; I mean that he spends effort and
puts serious thought into finding you something
that truly fits your personality to a T. I had one
guy give me three pairs of socks: one with a
crazy cute pattern, one specifically for boots
and one for high heels. The week prior, I had
gotten a blister on my foot due to not having
thick enough socks for a pair of boots I had just
purchased, so it was super sweet and a clear
indication of his listening skills that he
remembered.
14. Frequent Laughing:
Does he find you funny and can’t help but
giggle when you do something silly? As odd as it
sounds, the more often he laughs and finds you
hilarious, the more serious the level of interest
and excitement surrounding your relationship
is.
15. Spontaneous Touching:
When you’re in a public place, does he put his
fingers on your back to keep you close by? Does
he hold your hand atop yours while you two
are in a restaurant? Random closeness via
touching shows that he wants to maintain
physical contact, even when it’s not intimate.
