Have you ever caught a guy gazing at you and wondered what he was thinking?
Perhaps there’s a certain man who you’ve caught staring more than once?
Maybe you have no idea what this means?
Does it mean he has a crush on you, or could be it something more subtle? That’s the question we’re going to explore in the guide below.
We won’t just cover what it could mean when a man is staring at you, we’ll also look at how to figure it out by looking at his body language.
That’s right, you’ll essentially be a mind-reader by the time we finish this guide.
If you’re hoping he does have a crush on you, I need to tell you a super-quick tale that might inspire you to make the first move on him.
I actually used to be terrible at keeping a man’s interest in me. But that has changed now, and it all began as soon as I started reading about a part of male psychology which is called the ‘Hero’s Instinct’.
This primal aspect of the male mind has a HUGE impact on how he feels about the women in his life, and it’s possible to manipulate.
It would appear as if few people are aware of the power of The Hero’s Instinct at this time. Yet, learning about how it works has led to my relationships with men becoming far deeper, more loving and more meaningful.
You can learn more about my journey learning how to master a man’s ‘Hero’s Instinct’ in this blog post.
Meanwhile, my body language masterclass - for men who are staring at you - continues below. So, scroll down and read on.

A guy might appear to be staring at you, but his gaze could be going through you. It’s common for people to do this when they are daydreaming or lost in thought. They don’t even realize that they are staring at you. Look for signs that he’s not intentionally looking at you before reading too deeply into his gaze.
If he’s looking through you, his gaze more than likely won’t change if you do. Get up, go to the restroom, and see if he continues to glance in your direction. If he doesn’t look away from the same direction, he wasn’t flirting with you.
When people daydream for a longer period of time, their eyes tend to look a little bit glazed over and unfocused. Casually look at him from the corner of your eye to see if he is lost in his thoughts or checking you out.
If he’s staring towards you, but it has nothing to do with you, he won’t make eye contact. Men that are attracted attempt to make eye contact with women. To test this, simply look towards him. If his gaze moves to meet yours, he’s not staring through you.
If something cool is going on behind you, it’s normal for a guy to check it out. Glance over your shoulder to see if there is a street performer on the other side of the window or a person behind you that he could be looking at. It’s common to think someone is looking at you even though they are actually looking behind you.
If a guy is obviously staring at you, he could be attracted to you. Staring is a guy’s method of checking out the package, and determining if they want to make a move. It’s also how men tell if you’re interested back. For example, if you catch him staring and turn away from him, it’s a sign that you’re not interested back. Watch for other signs that he’s attracted to you to figure out what he’s thinking.
Men move a certain way when they are attracted to a woman. Most of them do not even realize that they are doing it. It makes it even easier for us women to tell if they are interested in us, though. Watch out for these things that guys will subconsciously do.
When a guy is attracted to you sexually, he will spread his legs. It might be because he needs a little bit more room, or because he doesn’t realize that he’s doing it. Men also do this to show off the goods, so to speak. If you let your eyes wander a bit, it shows him that you’re interested in something too.
The dominant stance is how a man shows off his fertility. He’ll square his shoulders and stick his chest out. He’ll also stand up nice and tall. When guys take this stance, it is almost always to show dominance. If a guy does this while he’s staring at a woman, he’s definitely sexually attracted to you.
When a man is sexually attracted to a woman, he won’t just look into her eyes, he’ll take the time to enjoy the entire package. This might seem a bit forward, but most guys won’t do this unless they think you are interested in the same thing. If you’re making eye contact and his eyes travel to his favorite asset, it’s a definite sign that he’s sexually attracted to you.
These other signs that he’s sexually attracted to you could also help you figure out what he’s thinking.
This isn’t to say that he isn’t attracted to you sexually, but maybe he’s more interested in getting to know you first. If a man is interested in talking to you or getting to know you versus a booty call, he’ll show these signs.
Use this tool to check whether he actually is who he says he is
Whether you're married or have just started seeing someone, infidelity rates are on the rise and have increased over 40% in the last 20 years, so you have all the right to be worried.
Perhaps you want to know if he's texting other women behind your back? Or whether he has active Tinder or dating profile? Or worse yet, whether he has a criminal record or is cheating on you?
This tool will do just that and pull up any hidden social media and dating profiles, photos, criminal records, and much more to hopefully help put your doubts to rest.
He could be appreciating the way that you dress or your hairstyle. Whatever the reason, he’ll let his eyes wander, but not in a sexual manner. Pay attention to where his gaze goes to determine what he’s interested in. If he admires your beauty, he’s more interested in dating than he is a one night stand.
When a guy is into something, he’ll raise his eyebrows while making eye contact. If he raises his eyebrows slightly, he’s showing you that he’s interested and giving you the opportunity to show that you’re interested back. It’s his way to make sure that you like him before making the first move.
Guys will also show that they’re interested in flashing you a gorgeous smile. If you look at him and he suddenly grins ear to ear, you can trust that he’s interested. If he’s not displaying the same body language that shows a guy is sexually attracted, he might be more interested in getting to know you on a deeper level.
When a guy moves his body a specific way, it’s how he shows that he’s available. Open body language includes:
This can be either a sign of availability or a sign of interest. When it’s coupled with eye contact, it’s because he’s interested.
If you catch a guy staring, it’s normal to assume that he’s interested, but that isn’t always the case. When a person is insecure, they are more likely to stare at other people. They are mentally comparing themselves to others to make sure that they are acting the same way. How do you know if it’s because he’s insecure, though?
Insecure people also don’t usually like eye contact. If he’s staring but refuses to meet your gaze, he’s either really shy or insecure. Check out the other symptoms that an insecure guy will show to see which one it is.
When a person feels insecure, they subconsciously try to make themselves small. Most people don’t even realize that they’re doing this. Instead of the confident movements that a man will show when he’s interested, like sticking out his chest, you’ll get the opposite. His gaze will be downward and his head will tilt slightly downwards. Most insecure people also slouch when they sit. It might be hard to get a good look at his face, too.
Men that feel insecure usually act a bit nervous around women that they like. Instead of paying attention to his face, watch his actions. He’ll fidget more, bite his nails, bite his lip, or may sweat. When you’re nervous or uncomfortable, it increases your heart rate and blood pressure, leading to things like sweating or a flushed face.
When men or women are feeling insecure, they usually don’t know what to do with their hands. This includes when someone takes pictures or even when they are simply sitting there. Because of this, they try to find something to do with them, like crossing their arms or tucking them in between their legs.
If he’s not insecure, you can trust that he’s staring because he simply likes the way you look. Men stare at women in public and at home because they feel a sense of attraction to something about them. It could be anything from your long legs and gorgeous eyes to the way you get a twinkle in your eyes when you laugh. If you catch him staring and you don’t know him, chances are that he likes something about you.
Sometimes, a man has already decided he might like you, moved past the physical attraction phase, and is now trying to read you. The only thing going through his mind is wondering what you’re like. He might want to see how you react to certain things in a conversation so that he can silently judge your behavior while determining if he wants to make a move. Certain zodiac signs are known for these thoughts going through their mind before they approach a girl. They want to make sure that you’re the one for them before they make a move.
When a guy has strong feelings for his girlfriend or wife, he might stare at you, and it’s not a bad thing. Thoughts going through his mind could include how amazing you are, how you’re the one for him, or how happy he is that you are a part of his life. If you’re on his mind, he might stare at you without even realizing that he’s doing it. If it makes you uncomfortable, just tell him.
He’s thinking about how attractive you are or wants to make sure that he wants to make a move before he does. If you’re in a relationship, he’s thinking about how you’re the one for him.
This act is seen as an invitation. If he’s the one staring, invite him to make the first move by meeting his gaze and giving him a small smile. This one thing is all it takes if you like a guy and you’re already on his mind.
This could mean a few things. Usually, he’s nervous and embarrassed that you caught him looking at you. It could also mean he’s shy and not one to make the first move.
Figuring out this part of male behavior can be confusing. He is more than likely just staring off into space with nothing going through his mind. Don’t read too much into this.
Pay attention to the way that they act, such as if they part their legs, how they look at you, and where they look. Guys that are attracted to women always show it one way or another through their behavior.
Trying to decipher why he’s gazing your way could mean a number of things. He could be interested, lost in thought about work, or thinking about how you’re perfect.
