Enjoy brief eye contact with a man before slowly looking away. Research has shown that prolonged eye contact with a guy makes it more evident to him that you are interested in him romantically, which often leads to increased feelings of connection and desire — especially when you're first meeting each other.

Show off your wrists and neck because they are traditional erogenous zones. Research from 2016 states how certain parts of the body can increase arousal when touched, so making a point of subtly extending your wrist or bending your neck to him indicates your interest in him.

8.Subtly touch him.

Touch him lightly on his arm or shoulder to make a point, but don't linger. Research studies show gentle touches on areas like the arm, shoulder, or waist during a date are often interpreted as a flirtatious signal by both men and women. 

According to Close Relationships by Pamela Regan, "The behavior that participants rated as reflecting the most flirtation and the most romantic attraction was the soft face touch, followed by the touch around the shoulder or waist, and then the soft touch on the forearm. The least flirtatious and romantic touches were the shoulder push, shoulder tap, and handshake. Thus, touching that is gentle and informal, and that occurs face-to-face or involves “hugging” behavior, appears to convey the most relational intent."

Avoid crossing your arms in front of your body or standing with your legs crossed, as this signals you are not approachable and closed off. Instead, try to relax as you talk and converse with him to make him feel like he can be more comfortable with you.

Unless you are sneezing, try not to touch your nose as you're talking with him — according to an FBI agent, it's the telltale sign of a liar! Research studies suggest that while touching your nose can be a potential indicator of deception, it is not a definitive sign and should be interpreted cautiously. So, it's best to avoid giving off the wrong impression.

Although plenty of these body language hacks involve getting close to the guy you're interested in, ensure you don't invade his personal space before you know he wants it — you don't want to overstep his boundaries or crowd him too much.
