Georgina,

Eww in a bad way or good way? Do you like this boy? Sounds like he was trying to get a rise out of you in some way :)

Theres this boy in my class, and he was standing in front of my desk looking at the class photo. I pointed him out to himself and he said cool and then he said "where r u" then i pointed out that i was next to him (he MUST have seen when i pointed out himself) and he said "EWW! I'm next to you!!

Destiny,

Sounds like he may be too shy to make the first move. When you see him in school, strike up a conversation with him. Start off being friends with him to see where your relationship goes from there. Good luck!

Kimberley,

It's difficult to really know if he is just playing around with you or if he has feelings for you. I would keep paying attention to his signals and see if it's anymore obvious as time goes on. Have you read our article, How do You Know if a Boy Likes You?

hi... there is this boy that will look at me for like 2 seconds and look away. then he will look at some1 else and look at me. sometimes when im with my friend he will talk to her or make her laugh. one time he smiled at me and looked away fast. today he was covering his mouth and i think he smiled at me again.

Katie,

It sounds like he is interested in you but you won't know for sure unless you pursue him. Talk to him more and show him that you are interested in him as well. For more clues if he likes you read How do You Know if a Boy Likes You.

-- Contributed by: Cindy

Theres this boy who look at me once. Then he will look at me alot of times. But when he looks at me he dosent do any of those sigs.

This is my same problem. There is a guy who I'm pretty sure is interested in me. He constantly stares all the time. We don't see each other often but when we do, he's always staring. More importantly, he makes a big fuss over my two children and really goes out of his way to compliment them. He talks to my sisters, but not really to me. Once I ignored him and he said "Lori, you didn't even speak to me." I just don't get it. He has invaded my space before and came really close to me but has never officially expressed interest. We are both in our 40's. Is he shy or scared to talk to me? He also has two kids. Can someone help?

More importantly, he makes a big fuss over my two children and really goes out of his way to compliment them. He has touched my arm before but has never officially expressed interest. We are both in our 40's. Is she shy, especially at 40+. He also has two kids. Can someone help?

Christina, some guys are too shy to act upon their interests. Or, he may think that the woman is not interested. And it's also possible that he is married or dating another woman and is just enjoying the view.

-- Contributed by: Rick Fulks

If a guy sees a girl from across the streets and clearly shows interest (by taking longer looks, glancing away and looking away), why would he not do anything more than that? Or does looking suffice for some guys?

-- Contributed by: Christina

Gia, I wouldn't worry about his pupils. I would instead be excited that he shows so many other signs. Try not to be annoyed because he may sense your annoyance and it could make him more shy around you. If you like him also, make sure you flirt back.

-- Contributed by: Rick Fulks

One last question? How accurate is the whole pupil-size aspect of attraction? For instance, the very shy guy who I suspect likes me, and constantly invades my space, has never exhibited large pupils when I've looked into his eyes and we've been face-to-face. However, he does show 9 of the 10 other signs (or the rule of 4 as the experts call it). It annoys me that his pupils aren't enormous when he talks to me. Should I be worried?

Gia,

If you move closer to him and he doesn't move away, that is a good sign. As far as determining whether he likes you or not... you will need to also watch for other signs. Sometimes shy individuals have trouble expressing their true feeling through body language.

Belle,

Check out some of this advice from our own dating coach:

-- Contributed by: Debbie Vasen

Regarding the standing in your space part of male body language...what if he doesn't enter my personal space, but I stand and move into his space, and he doesn't step back or make any effort to move away from me. Does that mean that he's also interested? He's very shy, if that helps.

there is a guy at work that i am extremely attracted to. i'm definately on the shy side though when it comes to him. ive caught him staring quite a few times from across the room, and i look back at him occaisionally. i'm pretty outgoing with everyone else i work with, but he's the one i really want to focus on! any advice on how to get him to notice me more or how to start something?

-- Contributed by: belle

thanks for the feedback, I thought that too, he has now added a wink, standing quite close opposite me, and now has started talking to me and taking an interest in what I do. I get a strong indication he fancies me, I found out he has a girlfriend so I am a bit confused what to do, I have made it clear that I like him months ago that I was interested. He hasn't done any ironing preening sessions in front of me yet though lol! I am a bit confused to his intentions.. thanks for the article it really helps esp if you havn't been very clear on male courtship signs in the past.

Dame, thanks for the questions. I don't think picking his nails is a sign of flirting. It's probably a habit he acquired at some time, so I wouldn't read too much into that. Showing his attributes, however, may be his way of flirting. If done intentionally, it means he is showing off and wants to impress you.

-- Contributed by: Rick Fulks

Does picking his nails mean a flirting sign, also lifting items up with one leg showing his attributes towards me :-)

-- Contributed by: dame

Hannah, thanks for the question. If you know that he feels warm, you must either be touching him or he allows you to stand very close. Either way it means he is comfortable with you being close to him. The heat likely doesn't mean anything--some people are just naturally warm. A better sign of his nervousness is avoiding your eyes. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean for sure that he is nervous around you. Try and observe him when he doesn't know you are watching to see if he behaves like this around everyone or just you. I assume you are interested in this guy, so unless he makes it very clear that he doesn't like you, don't be afraid to make the first move.

-- Contributed by: Rick Fulks

What about heat? If he is wearing a thin, short sleeved top with his arms folded across his chest (often) and feels really warm, is this a sign of back off or just nervousness? Especially when he avoids your eye...
