About This Article
To know if a man is attracted to you, watch to see if he does favors for you. For example, if he brings you coffee or is constantly offering to help you out, he's probably interested. Furthermore, if he makes excuses to be around you, like walking to work together or chatting during lunch, he's most likely doing it because he likes you. If you still aren't sure, keep an eye on his body language – if he's leaning towards you or touching your arm, he's probably attracted to you! When you're around him, see if you can catch him staring at you, and notice if he fixes his hair or clothes. If he does, it may be a good time to act!
