Not sure if the man you are into is interested in you? Is he just shy or is there more to the story? In this article you will find some helpful tips to determine if your man is for real.

Shy Guys.

Most ladies run into the dilemma of meeting a man, speaking to him, and later wondering 'Was he really interested in me?'

It seems rare to meet men who are shy but here are some tips that may grab your interest and have you examining the situation further:

Eye contact. Does the man you are crushing on look at you or away from you? Some men who are shy may tend to look at you, but only briefly. If they find you attractive they may be afraid to stare for too long, not wanting to seem odd. Men who have no interest in a particular woman may look at them directly, but appear distant.

Conversation. Does your man keep the phrases short and snappy, does he seem in a hurry, or does your man laugh nervously?

The conversation is crucial. If your man tends to give quick and to the point answers, as if being rushed, this can be considered a sign of them not wanting to speak with you. They may have other things on their mind. If the answers they give are dull sounding, no 'I'm totally interested' tone, then maybe it is best you move on. Shy guys on the other hand, are more apt to speak to you but the nervousness is more up front and can be heard in the tone. They may give brief laughs when not necessary. Don't worry ladies, they are totally digging you! Your beauty is just throwing them for a loop.

Body language.

Men who have no interest in the current conversation or activity may glance at their watches, look around the room, or just look as if they are completely bored. When speaking to your crush, watch him closely. Does he appear bored in any way? Is he constantly glancing everywhere but at you? The shy guy body language will be very similar but with subtle differences. They shyer man may move around more, but they will generally keep eye contact as much as possible. They may even give more compliments to you as you speak. Once again ladies, do not worry! His movements are simply the jitters. You give him chills!

These are the three main tips for examing your man and his interest. Keep close to him, watch and learn. And remember, there is a difference between being nervous and being bored. If they are entertained by you, then they will definitely show it!
