What are the ways a guys actions different when he likes you and is nervous and when he isnt interested? If a guy is interested but nervous how can you reassure him? This is a guy friend that i still see and I hooked up with a long time ago, like a few years. I'm trying to figure out if he might be interrested again or if he's not interested.

Sometimes the guy's abuse the ones they like, as in, jokingly push you and poke you, make little jokes about how much you "smell" or little pety things that wont, or shouldnt insult you.

I heard if your sitting down talking to eachother, they guy will keep his legs open when talking to you.

Females tend to have straight backs and push their breasts forward.

Not always the case though, sometimes nerves get the better of that one.

Finding it difficult to keep eye contact can be another, especially if he's nervous. That and saying things that dont always make sense, i.e. get their words in a muddle.

Few of these happened to me before i ended up in a relationship with my current gf.

To be honest, the best thing to do, is be blunt about it, ask the guy if there is a chance you could be more than friends. Tell him how you feel.

Whats the worst that could happen?

If they say no thanks, then you can get on with your life, start to get over it, and look for someone else.

Hope this helps, Pete

NITRAM BLUE agony auntAll what I am going to do is tell you about those unconscious signs so that you could use them to know whether someone loves you or not.

When you're interested in someone you tend to keep a smaller private distance between you and him/her compared to the distance you would otherwise keep while being with others. You will notice that whoever might be interested in you is standing closer to you than to other people.

A smile will not fade away quickly if the person is genuinely interested in you (that does not have to be love but worst case scenario, it will be deep interest). Only fake smiles fade away quickly, true smiles stay tend to linger a little longer.

In body language rubbing your brows with your fingers means that you positively evaluated something. Now what if someone positively evaluates seeing you??

Calling you for any trivial reason like asking about something that he/she already knows or by just seeking confirmation to some kind of information. If they were smart enough, they may find a good reason to call you but when the frequency of these calls increases, this usually indicates that there is something behind it.

Smiling while talking to you even if there was no good reason for smiling is another strong sign. In most cases he/she will try to hide the smile so they will appear as if they want to smile but are holding themselves

Orienting himself/herself in your direction even if they were standing with other people. Orienting themselves means that they stand with their shoulders parallel to yours and with their toes pointing towards you.

Being very nice one day and ignoring you the other day is one of the strongest sings. The logic behind this is very simple, at the beginning he/she treats you very nicely because they like you but when they go home they realize: “Oh my God, I did show lots of signs today that am interested but I still got no response, tomorrow I should totally ignore him/her.” So when you find someone being nice one day and cold the other day know that the positive signs he/she gave you may be due to positive emotions they hold for you and that the negative signs may just be a way to cover their traces.

Meeting him/her many times by coincidence is another sign. Of course these are not just coincidences but they may be either changing their schedule to suit yours or they may be going to the places that you usually go to in order to meet you by coincidence.

Starting to care more about your friends and becoming more nice to them is a strong sign especially if he/she wasn’t used to caring about them before.

Canceling their other plans in order to see you.

Finally the person who loves you will try to keep you within their range of sight and each now and then they will take a look to make sure that you are still there.

If he is nervous, break a conversation this will start something. Observe your subject, how he smiles and the position of his shoulders. Do it more often, to confirm your observations.
