Like women, men don't always say exactly what they're feeling precisely when they feel it. But guys don't have to say much to show you what they are thinking. That is because unconscious body language signals can be extremely telling.
So, in the early stages of a new relationship (like when you first meet an online date), look out for the following signs to get a sense of what he is thinking;
Huge pupils
Either you are in a super-dark place, or this subtle signal means he's into you. Dilation is a brain response that occurs when you like and are attracted to something.
Raised eyebrows
People tend to use this subconscious expression to help open their eyes when they like what they see. If he raises his brows ever so slightly while you're talking, it means he's interested in whatever you're saying.
Shows you his front teeth
Guys stop smiling like this around the age of 5 — unless they're really happy. He might not show off a toothy grin while casually flirting, but on a really awesome date when he's having loads of fun.
Smiles above the mouth
Real smiles extend well beyond the mouth: They lift the forehead and give you slightly squinty eyes. If his smile involves his whole face, it means you're genuinely affecting him in a good way.
Licks his lips in a cute (not creepy) way.
When you're attracted to someone, your mouth produces extra saliva. In response, he might quickly lick his lips or press them together. (Slower = creepster).
Locks eyes with your face — not your eyes.
You might think that a guy who is totally enamored by you will find it hard to peel his eyes away. But now that everyone is used to being glued to their phones, nonstop eye contact can make people feel uncomfortable.
Takes a deep breath when he sees you.
Yes, men do require oxygen but when he subconsciously takes a deep breath — he'll pull in his stomach and puff out his chest.
Leans toward you when you talk.
In a noisy bar, this sign might not hold much weight but when he can physically hear you perfectly well and leans in anyway, it means he's interested in what you have to say.
