Although some guys may be coy in displaying their attraction to you, more obvious signs can signal their allurement.

Many of these signs have to do with the body language of a guy, and here are some of those signs to guide you.

     1. First of all, you must have direct eye contact with the guy. If a guy is interested in you, he most likely will want to look you straight in the eyes, and he will not be easily distracted. His look will not veer away from you, since he will want to keep his attention fully focused on you.

    2. A genuine smile or maybe even a slight wink lets you know if a guy's interested in you. When a guy continues to concentrate on you with a smiling face, even a wide open smile, you know he likes you because he's showing he's happy and contented being with you.  Then, it's up to you or him to strike up an initial conversation.

    3. A guy may show subtle body contact to show he likes you. A guy may lightly touch his hand over yours or even nudge you gently, while talking with you, signaling he likes you.

     4.  If a guy likes you, he may move in closer to you while talking. People generally have their own personal space when talking to someone else. If a guy leans in closer to you, he's letting you know he wants to include you in his own personal space because he likes you.

     5. Maybe a guy will unbutton his shirt slightly or even rolls up his sleeves, he's letting you know he likes you and feels comfortable enough to do this in front of you.

     6. A guy who shows concern on his face, to listen to what you have to say, no matter what you have to say indicates he's interested and likes you.

     7. Polite gestures and manners geared to pleasing you, should let you know if a guy likes you too. If a guy doesn't like you he won't take the extra effort to go out of his way to please you.

     8. A display of  playful gestures. If a guy likes you he will feel relaxed enough to jokingly poke your arm, pat you on the shoulder or head, or just rub his shoulder next to yours.

     9. A relaxed body position when he's talking to you. A guy who likes you will not seem uncomfortable either standing or sitting when he is next to you. When a guy tilts his head to the side, this is another indication that he's relaxed with you because he likes you.

     10. Some body language studies suggest good body posture, for example, standing up straight, indicates someone likes you, because they want to exude confidence in their appearance.

 Finally, not all guys will display the same signs to let you know if they like you, but a few of these signs may help you decide, as well as, following your natural instincts.
