How to tell if a man likes you.

Here are some body language signs of men when they are attracted to a woman.

Tentative Eye Contact 
It might come as a surprise to many women but most men tend to be shy about making eye contact with the woman they feel strongly attracted to. If you catch a man looking at you when you are not looking in his direction, and who swiftly turns his glance away the moment you look at him, it would indicate that he secretly finds you attractive (it may not be love, but he's definitely attracted). If you find a guy making sheepish eye contact with you, ever so often, it's a sure shot sign of his attraction for you. 

The warm smile
When in love, guys are less likely to display "flirty" behavior and more likely to behave in a "gentlemanly" manner. Most of them would display a warm smile to show their respect, adoration or admiration for you. If you feel a warmth, and respect, in his smile, it's an indication that he finds you pretty (rather than "hot") and may have gushy feelings of love for you, rather than testosterone pumped lust. So a warm smile is a good thing, and it suggests the possibility of love interest.

You might even see a guy smiling nervously at you, with an uncertain half smile. This indicates that he's is attracted to you but feels "insecure" about his chances with you. You can put him at ease by returning a warm smile, then the next time he sees you he will be more assured in his smile. 


The Helpful Attitude
If you find a man trying to be helpful of you, assisting you or giving you more importance, at the office, it's indicative of his interest in you. Men are usually very conservative about offering help, especially in office, and they would do so only if they have an interest in being close to you. He may offer to assist you with your office work, try to help you repair or sort out stuff, get you coffee or water, offer you a ride home or just look out for you at the meetings. 


Finding out if you have a boyfriend?
If a man is really serious about you, then he will definitely try to find out if you already have an on-going relationship with another guy. Some men might ask you this question directly whereas others will try to find this out by some other means like asking your friends or someone who is close to you. He might even ask you indirect questions about your plan for the weekend. All these are ways to find out if you already have a boyfriend. Once a man is sure that you are single, he will make his next move or wait for you to make a move by giving you all the right signals.

Asking for a date
Fear of getting rejected stops most men from making this final move; which is asking a girl for a date. Most men will instead send indirect signals that they want to date you. Some examples are - asking to drop you home (if you are working in the same office or studying in the same school/college), getting you gifts, telling you about their weekend plans (suggesting they are alone). He will try to see if you pick up the opportunity and open up an invitation for a date. Of course, some guys would be a lot more direct in their asking.

Taking the relationship forward
Once you start dating, you are likely to figure out the real chemistry between the two of you. The relationship may fizzle out or become a really stable one, depending on your compatibility. Guys become much more open about their emotions and feelings once they are feel comfortable in a girl's company (they rarely talk about their emotions with their guy friends, unlike girls).

So these are some of the ways in which you can tell if a man likes you. With some deliberate observation you can pick up on the body language of a man who's attracted to you, and then proceed to either give him a green signal or block him out with your coldness.
