Wondering what signs are he likes you but is hiding it? Does your crush seem to be attracted to you, but he’s too scared to tell you?  Maybe you’re also afraid that he will reject you if you make the first move?

Then this guide is for you. There are 10 signs that a man is attracted to you, but hiding it. 

However, it is important that you read the following few sentences very carefully before you digest these signs.

I wasted too much time longing for guys who wouldn’t give me their hearts. 

Sometimes, I would get into relationships with these guys, but they were never very affectionate or devoted. 

I always felt like I was just their “bit of fun”. It was just a way to enjoy each other while waiting for someone more suitable. 

Could you relate to that? So, here is what I did to turn everything around… 

My life changed when I discovered the ‘Hero’s Instinct’, an aspect of male psychology. 

Primal instincts play an important role in how men feel about the women in their lives. 

However, you will need to know how to activate it…

My love interests suddenly became far less reserved about expressing their feelings once I learned how to do that.

I found this transformation to be the difference between being a man’s short-term fling and his long-term desire (you can complete the same transformation by reading my personal story).

Almost every man seems to respond well to being activated by their ‘Hero’s Instinct. However, very few women are aware of it.

1. Body language reveals what he doesn’t want you to know.

Firstly, the easiest sign to tell if he likes you is by observing his body language around you, these will tell if he’s trying to hide his feelings. Moreover, he will not be able to hide how he feels because his body language will naturally and subconsciously reflect how he feels. He probably won’t even think about hiding his body language from you since firstly, he won’t realize that body language communicates our feelings outwardly. In addition, even if he is aware that body language can show emotion, he won’t expect you to know that and won’t make an attempt to change it.

His mirroring of your body language is one of the most obvious signals that he is attracted to you. While you talk to him, he will sit the same way you do, stand the same way you do, or hold his hands in the same way you do when you talk to him. In addition, he will always face you so that you know that you are his only priority and that he is completely focused on you. No matter what, his feet will be facing toward you, even if his body isn’t.

You can also tell if he’s interested in you by watching how he makes eye contact with you. Is he holding eye contact with you for longer than normal? When you walk in front of him, does he marvel at your body with his eyes? He has larger pupils when he talks to you, have you noticed that? These are all signs that he is attracted to you, so pay attention to his eyes.

2. He “accidentally” touches you.

He will want to touch you and feel the spark of your skin on his skin if he is attracted to you. No matter how hard he tries to hide his feelings for you, he will be unable to resist the urge to touch you. You’ll notice, therefore, that he touches you more than he does to anyone else. Maybe he will just blend in naturally or he will make excuses to touch you.

 

You should, however, pay attention to how and how often he touches you. When he speaks to you, for instance, you may notice that he touches your arm more. Perhaps he will hold you in a hug a few more seconds, and you will notice that he is really pushing his body against yours. He may also brush past you or touch the arch of your back as he moves past you. He doesn’t have to do any of these things, and he probably doesn’t get this touchy-feely with anyone else, but he likes you and can’t help but feel the connection between you two.

3. He makes fun of you.

The words sound a little like school talk, but he might tease you if he’s attracted to you. First of all, people only tease those they feel comfortable around in the first place, otherwise, it could be viewed as insensitive. In other words, he feels comfortable around you enough to tease you. In a childish way, teasing someone is kind of cute, so he is not being mean, he is trying to make you laugh.

It’s a big sign that he is attracted to you when he teases you about things you aren’t so good at or the situations you are in. Furthermore, he may also playfully fight with you, in conjunction with the previous point. This is because he wants to make you happy, and he wants to touch you, although it’s not quite obvious that he likes you – people tease each other all the time.                                                                     

4. Dressed in a way to impress you.

Here’s another strong sign he likes you but he’s trying to hide is feelings. Recently, have you noticed that he dresses up a lot smarter when he knows you are going to be around? When you bumped into him unexpectedly, did he look a lot scruffier than he usually looks? A guy who likes you will care a lot about how he looks, as he wants to impress you.

Dressing up and clothes are not the only things he might have changed, especially if you have told him what you like. He may also have joined the gym or changed his grooming habits.

He can do this without you getting too suspicious that he is doing it for you. Perhaps you think he just decided to get fit, or maybe he went on a new clothes shopping spree. But now that you know this is a sign he likes you, you might notice that he only makes an effort around you, otherwise, he doesn’t bother.

5. He is always willing to help you.

Whenever he can, this man will try to make you happy if he likes you. Helping you is one of the easiest and friendliest ways for him to make you happy if he is trying to hide how he feels about you. It won’t appear as though he’s attracted to you, but rather he’s just trying to help a friend in need.

Does he always offer to carry your bag for you? Does he always offer solutions to your problems when you discuss them with him? Even if you need financial assistance, does he offer to help? The things he does are not just because he is a nice person. He does it because he wants you to live a better and easier life, and if he can provide this for you then he will.

 

 

6. If someone tries to tell you that you are good together, he shuts them down.

Those around you will probably be able to tell if he is attracted to you. If you like him too, then you will definitely have romantic chemistry. It may not be obvious to you, but it certainly is to everyone else.

They might even tease you for having such chemistry between you two that they think you should get together. If anyone says anything like this, he will immediately shut it down. He wouldn’t have wanted anyone to notice that he likes you in the first place, so he doesn’t want you to realize he likes you either. Then he will probably just laugh off the situation or get defensive. The people around you will know that whatever he says, there is no denying that he has feelings for you that go well beyond friendship.

 

7.  He makes excuses in order to be near you.

He’ll find excuses to be close to you if he really likes you. My definition of closeness includes both physical and emotional closeness. You can always count on him to ask you how you’re doing. Although he will appear to be just a caring friend, his true intentions are romantic. He wants to be the person you can trust and tell everything to. It might be easier for him to confess how he feels about you once he is this person in your life.

A physical closeness will also be important to him. If he knows that you are going to a party, he will do his best to be there with you. He might also make excuses to be in the same place as you. You can count on him to stand by you even when you’re together, and he might try to stand closer to you so that your bodies are touching. If he makes excuses like he was pushed or there’s not enough room, you might think that he has no option but to get close to you. Despite having a choice, he chooses to stay close to you because he can’t get enough of his body on yours.

8. It seems he ignores you.

It’s a strange sign to say he likes you, but there’s high chances he’s trying to hide his feelings in this case as well. Remember those days when someone acted mean towards you at school simply because they liked you? It’s the same thing here. If he is attracted to you, he might distance himself from you and ignore you. Additionally, he might do this because he wants to hide his feelings from you and this is the quickest way, but he might also do it because he hopes you’ll come to him rather than him chasing you.

You shouldn’t base your interpretation of a man’s attraction on this point alone. Furthermore, do you really want to be put in the position of having to deal with someone who blatantly ignores you? Even though this could be one sign that he really likes you, all the other points in the article are much more mature and obvious signs that he’s interested in you. If he ignores you, there is always a chance that he doesn’t like you.

9.  He becomes nervous around you.

Even if he tries to hide his attraction to you, he will not be able to hide the fact that you make him nervous. Nervousness is displayed differently by everyone, but it should still be obvious if he is nervous around you. Do you notice he sweats a little when he’s talking to you? Do his hands shake a little when he talks to you? Is he fidgeting with something while he is talking to you? These are all abnormal behaviors, and he is showing these kind of behaviors because he is unable to control himself and his feelings when you are around. His attraction to you causes him to be nervous. Trying to hide his emotions from you will only make his nerves worse.

10. It seems he never likes your boyfriends.

Someone who likes you won’t be thrilled if you’re dating someone else. In particular, they aren’t going to become one of your boyfriend’s biggest fans. When you are dating or have a boyfriend, he will disapprove. “You deserve better,” he may say to you. There is a chance he may even unearth some outdated information about your partner that makes you uncomfortable. His behavior towards your boyfriend will certainly not be friendly. This will be evident to you, as he will avoid you when you are with him until he is somewhere else and he can spend some time alone with you.

Even though he may not be kind to your boyfriend, you might not notice that he likes you, because of course he could just not like him in the first place. In reality, it’s less about the fact that he doesn’t like the person you’re with and more about the fact that you’re with someone else. Even if it looks as if he is just being protective, he is showing jealousy.

Seeing the Signs He Likes You But He’s Hiding His Feelings? What should you do?

To begin with, you need to monitor his behavior to find out whether he is really showing these signs if you think that he likes you. If after a while you see that he is showing a few of these signs, then it is likely that he is attracted to you.

Depending on your feelings for him, you will decide what to do next. If you like him, I recommend flirting with him and seeing his reaction. In order to avoid feeling rejected, I wouldn’t tell him straight away how you feel. Instead, flirt with him and get to know him better. Watch his reaction. Ideally, he will realize you like him, so he won’t feel compelled to hide his feelings anymore.

If you don’t like him, then there’s no need to do anything. The only thing you can do is hope that his feelings for you start to fade after a while. To get over him, you might want to distance yourself from him. Alternatively, you could introduce him to someone you think would be perfect for him. In the event that his behavior becomes problematic for you or your future relationships, you need to talk to him.
