Does That Guy Like Me?

This is the question every girl who ever felt an attraction to a guy wants to know. At school you can get your friends to go and ask him - but once you're out on the adult dating scene, things become a little more complicated. Basically you're on your own! Of course, if you know someone who knows him, then you've got a head start but if the guy is a stranger to the group you usually hang out with then you need to acquire a little bit of knowledge in the body language department!

If you haven't gotten as far as an introduction with the guy yet, try and catch his eye when you see him next. Does he hold your gaze? This is encouraging - he's interested enough to return your look instead of looking away. Have you looked in his direction and found him staring at you? Again, another good sign. Now you need to get a little more pro-active; faint heart never won fair lady, and these days it doesn't win attractive guys either!

Have an excuse to move over to where he's standing. Smile and say 'hi'. What kind of a reaction do you get? Does he return the greeting and then turn away? Or does he try to prolong the conversation? If he turns away, he's either shy, embarrassed to be chatting with a girl while he's out with his friends, or you have to assume he's not interested. You can decide if you want to give this another try at a different time to see whether or not you get the same response (in which case he's probably not interested and you should move on to a guy more worthy of your attention!)

If, on the other hand, he uses the greeting to start a dialogue with you; short and flirty, long and personal, doesn't matter! Any kind of an attempt to keep you there near him is a sign that he is attracted to you at some level.

When he's talking to you, does he maintain eye contact? Does his body lean in towards yours? Is he listening to you? Is he answering in more than one-word responses? Is he asking questions as well as answering yours? These are all positive signs that this guy is interested in getting to know more about you!

The worst part of trying to find out if a guy is attracted to you is in making the first move. But if you're lucky, the first move is all you'll have to make because once contact is made, the guy will probably take the initiative from there!
