Men who talk with their hands are usually good communicators.” According to body language expert Patti Wood, it’s also possible that he wants to get serious, but he can’t figure out exactly how to tell you: “Using your hands helps you access more information in your brain, especially emotional information and emotion-laden words.” And Hogan takes it one step further: “The wider the gestures and the more he does this, the more he likes you.”Ĭomb On Now: He Runs His Fingers through His Hair “If you want an intense relationship, he’s your guy!” Hm, “intense” is a pretty loaded word, isn’t it? But she says not to worry: “He’s expressive and passionate. You’ve got a big, um, personality on your hands with this guy, says Cox. In fact, Tonya Reiman, author of The Power of Body Language, goes so far as to say, “It signals anxiety or nervousness-a desire to end a conversation or to leave a situation.” Sex and body language expert Tracey Cox, on the other hand, has a more optimistic point of view: “He’ll also do it if he’s getting sexually excited and is trying to hide or calm down a potential erection!” Is he squirming in his seat? That usually indicates that something’s wrong-and he wants out. After all, we raise our brows to allow our eyes to take in as much as possible of what’s in front of us.” She adds, “It’s an almost universal sign that he fancies you. “Coupled with a smile, you can usually assume he’s attracted to you.” He might also think you’ve said something cute, but he’s trying to play it cool, says Cox.
“That’s called an ‘eyebrow flash,’” says Reiman. But if he raises his eyebrows quickly, you’re in luck. And who needs words when your guy is being so communicative with his eyebrows? This Groucho-like body language cue is all about context: “Surprise, happy recognition, skepticism… So much of this is in the timing,” says Wood. Next time I see you, remind me not to talk to you, said comedian Groucho Marx. Hogan, however, says this may have nothing to do with you at all: “A lot of people do this if they’ve had a drink or two.” In this case, he’s half staying and half running away,” she says. “If the sway brings him all the way up on his toes, it indicates happiness.” Cox adds that, when you see this cue, you should ask yourself why he’s craving that comfort: Are you sending out signals that you want him to leave, for example? “Swaying on our feet is an ‘intention movement,’ where his body starts to do what his brain would like it to do. “The front-to-back sway is typically a comforting motion mimicking being rocked in the mother’s womb,” says Wood. When a guy rocks back and forth, he’s having a mama’s-boy moment, our body language experts agree. “It’s a direct way for him to say, ‘If you smile, I know you like me back.’” “It’s a sign that he wants to touch you and get close, but needs an excuse to do it.” Just be wary, warns Wood: “If he grimaces while he does it, it shows the need to have things correct or perfect.” And be aware of your own reaction to this body language cue, too he’s paying attention: “This is a test, explains Kevin Hogan, Psy.D., author of Irresistible Attraction: Secrets of Personal Magnetism. “It’s intimate and hints that he wants more than just sex from you,” says Tracey Cox, author of Superflirt. But the experts agree that this body language action isn’t about, well, getting some action. “Anytime a man touches you, he’s telling you he’s attracted to you,” says Reiman. “We lick our lips in anticipation when we see something we desire.” He may be so “hungry for you,” in fact, that your presence makes him feel uneasy: “When we get nervous, our saliva glands stop secreting, and our mouths get dry” -leading to lip-licking,” adds body language expert Patti Wood.įollow You See: He Pushes Your Hair out of Your Eyes You’ve seen it in cartoons: When a cat’s about to pounce on a mouse, he licks his lips first, right?
