Like You<\/h2>\n<p>If crossed legs are not a good sign because they signify a closed attitude, the opposite is a sign of interest.<\/p>\n<p>In body language, when a person firmly plants their open legs on the ground, it indicates a favorable disposition toward you.<\/p>\n<h2>Quickly Raised Eyebrows: Sexually Attracted to You<\/h2>\n<p>Eyebrows are also a clue: if someone raises and lowers them quickly, holding them up for a very short time (exactly for one-fifth of a second, although timing might be difficult&#8230;), it indicates sexual attraction to you.<\/p>\n<h2>Expands Chest While Standing: Wants to Please You<\/h2>\n<p>Expanding the chest while standing is also a sign of physical attraction.<\/p>\n<p>Just as a rooster would do to court the entire hen house, men also have in their genes a dictionary of gestures for courtship aimed at perpetuating the species.<\/p>\n<p>So pay attention to what he does with his chest in your presence: if he expands it, puffs it out, and generally seems proud, you&#8217;re good to go.<\/p>\n<h2>If He Moves his Shoulders, He Wants to Attract Your Attention<\/h2>\n<p>Like animals, many unconscious gestures made by male humans serve to attract the attention of females.<\/p>\n<p>And, as already explained, they are aimed at reproducing the species.<\/p>\n<p>One of these eloquent gestures focuses on shoulder height: if he moves them a lot while talking to you, it&#8217;s because he wants your gaze on him.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/online-dating-beware-digital-body-language\/\">Online Dating,

or Plays With It<\/h2>\n<p>He usually fiddles with round objects, such as tapping his fingers on the glass or running his fingertips along the rim?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not just a courtship ritual but a kind of transfer: by stroking the glass, he hopes (unconsciously) to encourage you to allow him to do the same with your body.<\/p>\n<p>Every gesture he makes with objects, glasses, cutlery, and dishes on the table will be the sexual fantasy he would like to enact with you.<\/p>\n<h2>He Lends You his Jacket to Cover Up<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most romantic gestures is when he takes off his sweatshirt or jacket and offers it to you to protect you from the cold or rain.<\/p>\n<p>In almost all cases, those who do this are not only physically attracted to you but also emotionally.<\/p>\n<h2>Open Arms and Hands<\/h2>\n<p>Open arms and hands, positioned away from the chest, clearly mean that he is not indifferent to you, quite the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>Physical openness reflects mental and emotional openness: reticence at the body level goes hand in hand with romantic reticence, in the sense that there will be few chances to make contact with him.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, open arms and hands are the first step towards a hug.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignfull-width wp-image-90253 size-full\"

You<\/h2>\n<p>Among the most meaningful sub-languages of the body, foot language takes the lead.<\/p>\n<p>Pointing a foot, especially the right one, towards someone indicates attraction to that person.<\/p>\n<p>This is a very powerful signal that you should never underestimate, so pay attention.<\/p>\n<h2>Lets You Go First by Placing a Hand on Your Shoulder<\/h2>\n<p>The gesture of letting a woman go first is chivalry, but placing a hand on her shoulder or, even better, on her arm is a sign of protection.<\/p>\n<p>If he does it instinctively, it means that the gesture and the desire for protection come from the heart, in the sense that he didn&#8217;t have time to pass through the brain to understand whether it&#8217;s appropriate or not.<\/p>\n<h2>Strokes Lips, Chin, or Cheeks<\/h2>\n<p>Sexual attraction to someone increases blood pressure and causes the most delicate parts of the body to become more sensitive.<\/p>\n<p>The point where this change is most evident is the face: blushing due to palpitations and embarrassment is accompanied by increased sensitivity to touch, especially on the lips, cheeks, ears, and chin.<\/p>\n<p>If he touches any of these parts of the body while talking to you, it&#8217;s very likely that his gesture is an unconscious request to be kissed.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on Grazia.it &#8211; Author: Camilla
