3 Shifts That Can Take You from Single and Alone to Love after 50 with a Quality Man

You can read the blog below or watch it on YouTube by clicking here.

Shift #1: Know that you are the prize!

One of the scariest things about dating, especially after 50, is having to worry about how members of the opposite sex will perceive you, especially when you’re comparing yourself to the person you were when you were 20.

When you do this, you’re giving your power away to someone you don’t even know yet.

Hey, I did it when I first started dating too.

I’d fret for hours about a date so to calm down, I’d call my sister and ask her if the guy I was meeting would like me as if she had a crystal ball at her side. lol

She didn’t and I’d go on that date not feeling like I was enough.

Ever feel that way?

The “I’m not enough” mindset we subconsciously run can take you down because you can only attract a man from how you feel about yourself today . . . meaning if you feel crappy about yourself, guess who you’ll attract?

Men who don’t feel so great about themselves either.

This is why I write about confidence in so many of these blogs because if you feel good about yourself, then you will attract quality men.

BTW . .  . Did you know that confidence and your passions for life are the #1 Attraction Factors to a man?

Shift #2: Appreciating your Feminine Side

Want to know a secret about men?

They love when you let them feel like a man.

And it’s so simple to do by learning to receive and appreciate what a man does for you.

Hey, I know you’re strong because you’ve had to be strong to live a single life.

Men know this too and it’s why it makes them feel so good around you when you trust them enough to allow them to do something for you that makes your life easier.

For many women, they see asking for help as a weakness.

It’s not. It’s actually a strength and will help you get your needs met by men who will happily step up for you.

Even strangers will step up which is what happened to me recently on an airplane.

I wasn’t sure I could get my suitcase up into the overhead bin.

I have a tendency to overpack just in case I might need it which led to my suitcase being heavy.

I pondered how I was going to lift that baby and noticed a man sitting across the aisle from my seat.

So I asked him what I call “The 5 Magic Words” . . . Could do me a favor and help me lift my suitcase?

Not only did he lift it but when the plane landed, he got up, opened the overhead bin and asked me if my suitcase was the blue or the black one before he pulled the right one down and even lifted up the handle for me.

I thanked him and watched his body language shift with pride as I let him be a man and because I was open to receiving his help.

Shift #3: Choosing A Man Based on Values versus Qualities

It’s likely you have an idea of what a man needs to have to be the right match for you.

Maybe you’ve been looking for qualities like a particular body type, a certain level of fitness, education or a specific job and salary requirement, just to name a few.

And a man might have every quality on your list yet still be the wrong match for you.

I remember dating a man who had 99% of the qualities I thought I wanted but our values didn’t match.

He was a good guy and he had great values of his own, they just weren’t in line with mine which is probably why the relationship only lasted a year.

You want to think of qualities as a wish list of things that are fun for a man to have or for the two of you to do.

What’s more important is to think about 10-15 Values that are must-haves for you.

Why? Because ultimately what is going to help you deeply connect with a man and be able to create a long term relationship will be the values the two of you share as you navigate life together.

Believing in you!

Eyes are the windows to the soul and they speak volumes. When communicating with someone, eye contact attraction is one of the most understated yet potent tools one can use. Be it love or anger, pain or indifference, eye contact can convey them all. It helps you comprehend things that have been left unsaid. Even in animals eye contact is used to exert dominance, so it comes as no surprise that eyes are an important medium of communication.

In Memoirs of a Geisha, when Mameha asks Sayuri to stop a man in his tracks with a single look, it seems she is teaching her eye contact attraction, but in reality, she is proving eye contact as the base stone of building a relationship. Human beings happen to be the only primates with white eyes. Our eyes are designed to be visibly seen by others; they are meant to attract attention.

Using Eye Contact Attraction To Build A Relationship

Eye contact can make or break a relationship. In the right situations, prolonged eye contact coupled with the right body language can get the person in front of you to open up to you better. They just end up trusting you a bit more than a person with shifty eyes. Yet, in a different situation, the same kind of body language and eye contact can creep someone out immensely. We all know that one person whose unblinking stare can have us questioning their sanity if not our own for hanging out with them.

When you maintain proper eye contact with a person, in that person’s eyes you become more attractive. They feel that they are being heard and noticed. And let’s be honest here, no matter how much one hates attention, no one really likes to be invisible. It helps you connect with people on a subconscious level. You are better able to understand a person. And isn’t that what we all want at the end of the day? To be understood without having to explain.

Eye contact attraction is the stepping stone to building any relationship. Not just between lovers but it is also equally important between peers or even strangers. You want to motivate a crowd, look them in the eye. You want to know if a woman likes you, look into her eyes. Eyes don’t lie, but they can confuse you. That is why we are here to decode the language of the eyes for you.

Levels Of Eye Contact Attraction

The first step of understanding the language of eye contact attraction is to know there are different kinds of eye contact. While some of them can be at a very subconscious level, some are deliberate and act as little gestures. The interesting thing about eye contact is that they proceed from one level to another quickly, as is often the case when there is eye contact between a man and a woman.

In the beginning, it starts with accidental eye contact. If there is an attraction between the two people, then there will be more glances shared between them. If they can take these interactions to the next level, then these furtive glances will change to prolonged eye contact. Or if the chemistry between the two is very potent, then there will be a lot of intense eye contact.

So, let’s dive into the different levels of eye contact attractions and what they mean.

1. No eye contact (deliberate)

Making eye contact with a person is instinctual. So, when a person is going out of their way to avoid eye contact with a guy or a girl, it means they’re deliberately trying not to establish a connection. And, if you know the person, then that says a lot. They could be hiding something from you, or they are so uncomfortable in the given moment that they are unable to even meet your eye, let alone make prolonged eye contact.

In some cases, there are medical reasons a person is unable to make proper eye contact with a person. People who are neurodivergent, like those who have Autism or ADHD, tend to avoid eye contact more than neurotypical people. There is nothing wrong or bad about it. It is just different.

However, if a person that you don’t know is avoiding direct eye contact, then it means they are uninterested and don’t want to talk and it is their polite way of saying, “Please go away.” In such situations, continuing this kind of flirting is one of the most common flirting mistakes a person can make. It is better not to continue, some things are best left alone.

2. No eye contact (unintentional)

An unintentional lack of eye contact happens when a person is oblivious to your existence. No, you haven’t become invisible (though wouldn’t that be an amazing superpower), it just means that person has not noticed you.

Definitely better than a conscious lack of eye contact attraction, this form of absence of eye contact is not a reflection on you but more of what is going on in the other person’s head. Maybe they are listening to music and are lost in their own world. Or they are busy obsessing over the inflation rate of the economy, or they are just begging to the universe that Henry Cavil falls in love with them. All of it is justified and has very little to do with you. So, do not let this put a dent in your confidence.

3. Glance (accidental)

This kind of eye contact attraction happens most often between strangers. They look around and your eyes accidentally meet, then they look away. This type of eye contact happens due to proximity. They are not into you, you just happen to be in their line of vision as their eyes wander and continue to wander post the eye contact.

A look like this is very fleeting and has no meaning attached. The reason behind this is that even though the eye contact was established, the person didn’t register it and it happened at a very subconscious level. There is about a 95% chance the person will not even remember having engaged in it. Human beings are instinctively drawn to the eyes. However, whether this eye attraction was perceived or not by the person is a whole different story.

4. Glance (deliberate)

This is where things begin to get really interesting. Here, a person makes eye contact and immediately looks away. Wondering how is it different from any of the other glances that we spoke about earlier? After all, it could just be another accidental eye contact. What makes this special? Well, the answer to that is, what happens after eye contact.

The glance lasts about half a second, barely longer than an accidental glance. But here the person has registered that your eyes have met. Studies suggest in eye contact attraction, holding eyes for a split second longer can make a person feel intimidated and self-conscious. At this point, if a person lowers their eye to break eye contact, it means that the person is attracted to you. However, if the person is not interested in you, then they will break eye contact to look sideways.

5. More than just a glance

It is easy to miss this look because it can seem so unintentional. However, that is not the case. Though subtle, this intense eye contact that barely lasts a second is loaded with interest. It is short and almost unconscious; the gaze lingers just a tad bit longer. The person looking at you doesn’t even realize what they are doing. This happens at a very subconscious level, so much so they might not even remember doing it.

When you receive this deep eye contact from a woman or man it means they find you attractive even if they don’t know it just yet. There is a scientific reason for this. When someone is attracted to you, they look at you longer than usual. It’s just how we human beings are wired.

6. The double-take

Here is a social experiment you can try out to practice eye contact attraction. When a person makes eye contact and looks away after that, keep looking at them for a few more seconds. Some of them will look at you a second time. This is a clear sign of interest and chances are if you initiate a conversation, you might get a positive reaction.

Of course, there are times when a person keeps looking at you without even knowing that they are doing so. And that is absolutely fine too. This kind of eye contact between a man and a woman is a positive sign. Simply put, the person you are engaging in repeated intense eye contact with, finds you very interesting too.

7. The gaze

This happens when someone looks at you for longer than normal, that is a solid 2-3 second long stare without breaking eye contact. In some cases, this can become awkward and be deemed creepy. But in certain situations, if you get lucky, this can come as really good news.

When there is eye contact between a man and a woman for a long time, it is a sign that the attraction between them is mutual. It’s an unmistakable sign that they want to take things further. So, if you get a smile while making deep eye contact with a woman, then you better not miss this opportunity.

8. The intoxicated stare

Kira was in no mood to wake up and go to work, so she snuggled in closer to Leo. Sensing him already awake, she opened her eyes she caught him staring at her. He looked as if he was drunk on something and had this little smile playing on his lips. He looked positively dreamy when Kira realized she had found someone special

If, like Kira, you were lucky enough to receive this look from someone, then treasure it. In eye contact attraction holding eyes like this means the person is falling for you. This look is one of the most validating looks to receive. After all, who doesn’t want to wake up to know they are absolutely adored by someone, especially when it’s someone they like too.

However, it is also one of the most heart-breaking glances to receive, when the feelings are one-sided. So, if you make eye contact with a guy and he gives you this look but you don’t feel the same way about him, let him know before his feelings grow.

9. “There’s murder on my mind” stare

It is said that when a person makes prolonged eye contact with you, it means one of two things: either it is a sign of sexual tension, which means they are attracted to you or they are a little unhinged and daydream about killing you. And there is a little truth to it.

While intense eye contact does indicate interest, it also conveys anger. To know which one it is, one has to pay attention to the body language as well as the situation around you. So, if you have 38 missed calls from your girlfriend and she is standing in front of you with arms folded, the deep eye contact from a woman in that state doesn’t bode well for you. And you should definitely keep an eye out for dishes flying at you.

One can tell a lot about how another person feels just by looking into their eyes. Eyes are the window to our souls and they rarely ever lie. Be it love or anger or sheer hatred, the eyes say it all. Figuring out what particular eye contact means helps you understand the viability of a given situation.

While eye attraction is an essential part of building a relationship, many times it can be confusing and misleading. In the beginning, it might seem a little difficult to figure out what is going inside a person’s head. But with practice, one can learn to decipher and read between the lines.

The Dangers of Unclean Sex Toys

Bacterial and Fungal Infections

When you neglect to clean your sex toys, you give bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens a chance to thrive. These microorganisms can lead to infections, such as bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections, which can be uncomfortable and require medical treatment. Properly cleaning your toys with a sexual toy cleaner can help you avoid these problems.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)

If you share sex toys with a partner without cleaning them, you risk the propagation of STDs. Viruses and bacteria can linger on the surface of toys, even if they appear clean. Always clean your sex toys between uses and between partners to reduce the risk of spreading infections.

Allergic Reactions

Sterilize your sex toys after every use, even if you use a condom or other barrier method. If you’re switching between partners or using the toy for different types of play (such as vaginal and anal), disinfect the toy between each activity to avoid cross-contamination.

Storing Your Sex Toys Safely

Allow Toys to Dry Completely

Before storing your sex toys, ensure they are completely dry to prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria growth. After cleaning your toys with a sexual toy cleaner, let them air-dry or gently pat them dry with a clean, lint-free towel.

Love is one of the most priceless feelings you can experience in this life. And friends make this world a better place to live in. A friend keeps you grounded whereas a romantic interest makes you feel like you are floating. What happens when you experience both these feelings because of one person? What if you have fallen in love with a friend? It can be chaotic and messy if you don’t handle it well.

On the flip side, if you are genuine about your feelings and tread the line between friendship and love carefully, you may make them fall for you as well. To find out more about friendship love vs romantic love, we reached out to Counseling psychologist Tanvi Jajoria (MA Applied Clinical Psychology), who is the co-founder and director of MentAmigo and an internationally certified EFT Practitioner. 

She says, “Friendship and love know no boundaries. Even so, research shows that we’re selective about who we make friends with. Romantic love can be even more selective. No matter how woke or virtuous one claims to be, we fall in love by taking into account a person’s physical appearance and social status.” 

What Does It Feel Like To Fall In Love With A Friend?

Falling in love is a very personal and subjective experience. There are so many things happening all at once that it’s hard to catch your breath. The situations could vary from person to person as well. You could be:

• Falling in love with a friend who doesn’t feel the same way
• Falling in love with a friend who is married or in a relationship
• Falling in love with a friend while in a relationship yourself

If you aren’t able to distinguish between friendship love vs romantic love, take a look at these signs of falling in love with a friend.

1. You feel more alive when you are with them

There is suddenly this gravitational pull toward them and you don’t know how to stop catching feelings for your best friend. You feel different in their presence in the following ways:

• When you are in love with your best friend you want all their attention on you
• The way they touch you feels electrifying 
• You want to spend more time with them 
• Nothing makes sense to you as you find yourself becoming extra caring, loving, and thoughtful toward them

Tanvi says, “There may be no violins playing in the background to tell you when you fall in love with a friend. Because being in love with someone is a very emotionally deep connection that develops over time and goes way beyond the superficial criteria of having an ‘ideal’ partner.”

2. You feel jealous when they give someone more importance than you

You will feel jealous when they prioritize someone else over you even if you are falling in love with a friend while in a relationship yourself. This jealousy won’t make sense to you and the last thing you want to do is ruin your friendship. You hate the idea of someone else touching or kissing them. This jealousy is normal. But don’t let this feeling consume you or get the better of you.

Georgia, a 26-year-old dentist from Boston, says, “Am I in love with my best friend of the same gender? I have only been attracted to men so far but when I see her talk to others and give more importance to someone else, I can feel a pang of jealousy hit me hard. I want her to give me all her attention. I genuinely want to stop feeling jealous when I see her with someone else. I don’t know if I should confess my feelings or if I should let it slide.” 

3. Their flaws become perfect 

Tanvi says, “One of the biggest signs that you have developed romantic feelings for one of your best friends could be when you start accepting their flaws and imperfections as much as you love the best of their qualities, and when you are comfortable enough to show your own imperfect side to them as well.” 

You don’t just see their flaws anymore. You also celebrate them. You use motivating words of encouragement for them and start believing in them. Yes, love is capable of making you feel all these things. You realize they aren’t perfect but they are enough for you and you find them irresistible. This is the biggest indicator of friendship love vs romantic love. You may laugh at your friend’s flaws but when you are in love, you appreciate them and make them feel better about themselves. 

4. You are ready to go the extra mile for them 

When you are falling in love with a friend, you are ready to put them first. You consider their needs and wants and go the extra mile to fulfill them. If they need you, you are there for them no matter how busy you are. You will drop everything to help them out. They will think you’re just being a great friend. Little do they know.

5. You are worried about your friendship 

This is one of the things you go through especially when you are in love with a friend who is married. You are worried your friendship will end if you confess your feelings. What if they don’t feel the same way? What if they are taken aback and terminate the friendship? What if they like you back but both of you are in a relationship so you can’t do anything about your feelings?

There are so many factors involved and you just won’t know how to tackle them in a healthy way. That’s why you need to prevent your friendship from turning into love if you are worried that this person won’t love you back. 

What To Do When You Are Falling In Love With A Friend

When you are with your potential romantic interest, you are in a state of mind where everything around you is momentary. Is it the same when you fall in love with a friend who is married? Let’s find out.

What to do if you are falling in love with a friend who is married/partnered?

Tanvi says, “Falling in love with a friend who isn’t single can be very emotionally daunting and puts you in a very difficult spot. Whether you should confess your love to them or not, this cannot have a simple yes or no answer, as relationships or friendships don’t function in that black and white manner.”

Even though there can’t be one universal answer to this question, here are some questions that you can ask yourself if you have developed feelings for one of your close friends who isn’t single. These will help you gain more clarity: 

• Why do I suddenly have feelings for my friend?
• Why do I want to confess my feelings to them? What is my real intention?
• How will it affect me if I do or do not confess my feelings?
• How will it affect them and our friendship?
• Can I sustain this friendship while being in this vulnerable position?
• Who all could be affected by this action of mine?
• What do I really need right now?
• Am I confusing friendship with love? 
• Do I know them enough to call it love? 
• Should I take some space from them to figure this out?

While getting answers to these questions and being able to accept them could be very difficult, reflecting on these can help you make a more informed decision for yourself.

What to do when you are falling in love with a friend while in a relationship?

If you are falling in love with a friend who doesn’t feel the same way or when you’re in a relationship with someone else, you need to tread lightly. Otherwise, you will end up breaking your partner’s heart. Here are some things you need to do if hurting your partner is the last thing you want:

• You need to set emotional boundaries with your friend 
• Talk to your partner about this instead of cheating on them
• Decide mutually what will be better for the relationship in the long haul 
• Respect your partner’s decision if they want to leave the relationship 

What to do when you are falling in love with one of your single best friends?

If both you and your friend are single, then try to let them know subtly and see if they feel the same way about you. Use your body language to confess your feelings. You can try to flirt with them and see if they flirt back. They say the strongest intimate relationship is the one that starts as a friendship.

That’s what happened on this Reddit thread. A user shared their story of falling in love with a friend and said, “I fell in love with my childhood best friend. Yes, I told him I loved him. I suspected, well pretty much knew, he felt the same way about me, so there was no reason to not tell him. We’re engaged now and still in love.”

Regardless of the relationship status of you and your friend, try to have a one-on-one conversation with them about this. If you feel it in your bones that they like you back and you will have something strong in the future, then don’t miss this opportunity and be honest about your feelings. However, if you don’t want to ruin your friendship with them, then it’s best to let these romantic feelings slide under the rug for now. If they are partnered, you can broach this subject again when they are single.

Are You In Love With A Friend Of The Same Gender?

You may have fallen for a person belonging to the same gender like Zack, a 27-year-old professional scuba diver from Hawaii, who says, “Am I in love with my best friend of the same gender? We have a great friendship going on for the past four years. Whenever he is around, I really want to hold his hand and kiss him. I want to do so many things with him but I am afraid he would end the friendship if he found out about this. I don’t know how to make sense of this situation or how to fall out of love with a friend like him.”

It’s best to find out what kind of attraction you feel toward your friend because there are many different types of attraction:

• Platonic attraction: Wanting to form a close emotional bond with someone in a friendship-type way
• Aesthetic attraction: Enjoying the way someone looks
• Romantic attraction: Wanting to form a close emotional bond with someone in a more-than-platonic way
• Sensual attraction: Wanting to touch someone but in a non-sexual way (cuddles, holding hands, kissing, etc.)
• Sexual attraction: Wanting to touch someone in a sexual way 

Furthermore, learn how to differentiate between friendship love vs romantic love. Tanvi shares, “When you are in love with someone, more often than not, you love and accept that whole person for who they are – their flaws and imperfections as much as you admire their positive qualities and strengths. However, infatuation may feel like a relatively more surface-level emotion that is driven by criteria like how the person looks, their personality, how they are treating you at present, and how others perceive them.”

When you try to understand why you feel attracted to someone and what importance they hold in your life, you will clearly be able to draw the line between friendship and love.

How To Stop Falling In Love With A Friend

Here is the most important thing you need to know — you can’t force your feelings to feel a certain way. The more you try to bow your feelings to your wishes, the more rebellious they become. If you really want to prevent your friendship from turning into love, here are some things you can do to stop catching feelings for your best friend:

1. Set boundaries with them

We ask Tanvi how to fall out of love with a friend. She shares, “Try to set certain boundaries for yourself and in your friendship. Limit the time you spend with them. You don’t have to completely cut ties with your friend but you need to stop hanging out with them every single day.”

Some other things you can do to establish all types of boundaries with them include:

• Meet your friend in a group setting so you don’t get uncomfortable 
• Remain friends but don’t do couple activities together like hand holding or cuddling 
• Openly communicate your boundaries but don’t tell them about your feelings yet 

2. Understand your attachment style 

According to research, falling in love with someone you can’t have is more likely experienced by those who have an anxious attachment style. As we all know, attachment styles have their roots in childhood. The things that have happened in a person’s childhood largely determine their attachment style. 

If your primary caregiver was unpredictable with showing affection or they were inconsistent in meeting your needs, you may grow up unconsciously reenacting that dynamic in your adult relationships. In simple words, you may be more likely to develop a romantic magnetic attraction for people who are unlikely to return your feelings. If you want to prevent your friendship from turning into love, heal your attachment issues slowly and steadily, and don’t let the troubled early years of your life dominate your adulthood. 

3. Let go of the hope that you can end up together

If you have fallen in love with a friend who is married, then try to overcome your romantic feelings by keeping yourself busy. Fantasizing about a future together will make things worse. So, every time you drift into your fantasy land, go back to your project, go shoot some hoops, go do your squats. Just don’t hang on to the hope that they would leave their significant other for you.

If they realize their feelings for you on their own and leave their partner for you, then that’s your good fortune. But don’t do anything to ruin their relationship and become the reason for somebody’s marriage falling apart.

4. Work actively on distancing yourself from your feelings

You didn’t know how to stop catching feelings for your best friend. And you can only try to fall out of love now. Keep in touch with your friends and family members who you think could help you with genuine support or reach out to a mental health professional if you feel stuck. If you’re looking for professional help, Bonobology’s panel of experienced counselors is only a click away. 

When asked on Reddit how to stop loving someone but stay friends with them, a user replied, “Cherish the time with them but make it very clear to yourself that they are off-limits. Don’t fall into a trap of “I’ll just wait until they’re single” or think it’s okay to privately fantasize about how great you’d be together. Just put up a big red NO sign in your brain for that. Anything else is unhealthy and if you can’t train your brain to overcome your attraction, it’s better to let the friendship go or at least reduce it because it would be greatly unfair to put that burden on your friend.” 

5. Practice acceptance 

Accept the things you cannot control or change. That’s the best possible way to let go of someone you can’t have. Set them free because the mental anguish you are experiencing at the moment is driving you crazy. You are losing your rationality with all the daydreaming and “what ifs.” Here are some things you can do to practice acceptance:

• Don’t reject your romantic feelings right away. You have fallen in love. Now what? Pause and accept your feelings but don’t force your friend to feel the same for you 
• Go easy on yourself. Unrequited love is one of the most painful yet glorious feelings in the world. It may hurt you as much as it brings you joy
• When your mind wanders and begins to daydream, distract yourself by watching a movie or reading a book
• Meditate every day. Meditation is all about mindfulness and being present “in the moment”

When two people spend copious amounts of time together, it’s natural for either or both of them to experience butterflies and secretly hope that the other person is feeling the same way. Maintain a platonic relationship with them if the thought of losing this friendship scares the life out of you.

If you want to stop loving someone but stay friends with them, then understand that this feeling is normal. You don’t have to act on your feelings yet because you don’t know how they feel and how they might react to your love. They may even walk out of this friendship if you are not careful.

One key aspect of sexual attraction is the role of pheromones in facilitating and enhancing attraction between individuals.

Signs to look for:

• If a woman is attracted to you, she might lean in closer to you to catch a whiff of your scent
• She may also touch her hair or neck, unconsciously trying to release more of her pheromones.

Action steps:

• Maintain good hygiene: Regular showers, clean clothes, and fresh breath are essential to ensure your natural scent is appealing.
• Wear a subtle cologne: A light, pleasant fragrance can enhance your natural pheromones without overwhelming her senses.

Pupil Dilation

When we’re attracted to someone, our pupils dilate as a physiological response to arousal.

This is a subconscious reaction that happens due to the release of oxytocin, a hormone that plays a crucial role in social bonding and sexual attraction.

Signs to look for:

• Pay attention to a woman’s eyes when interacting with her.
• If her pupils appear larger than usual, it may indicate that she’s sexually attracted to you.

Action steps:

Various hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol, contribute to the body’s physiological responses during attraction.

Signs to look for:

• Some common body language signs of attraction include open posture.
• Leaning towards you, frequent touching, and mimicking your movements.

Action steps:

• Be aware of your own body language: Maintain open and confident posture, and be mindful of your facial expressions and gestures.
• Respond to her body language: If she’s leaning in or touching you, reciprocate the gesture to show interest and build rapport.
• Mirroring her body language can also help create a sense of connection and understanding.

Blushing

Blushing is another physiological response to sexual attraction.

Furthermore it occurs due to the dilation of blood vessels in the face, which is triggered by the release of adrenaline.

This rush of blood to the face can make a woman’s cheeks appear flushed when she’s attracted to someone.

Signs to look for:

• If a woman’s cheeks appear pink or flushed when you’re interacting.
• It could be an indication of her attraction towards you.

Action steps:

• Be observant: Take note of her facial color changes, especially during moments of closeness or intense conversation.
• Compliment her: A genuine compliment can make her feel more comfortable and appreciated, potentially deepening the connection.

Increased Touch

When a woman is sexually attracted to someone, she is more likely to engage in physical touch.

This behavior is driven by the release of oxytocin, which promotes feelings of trust and bonding.

Signs to look for:

• If a woman initiates physical contact such as touching your arm.
• Brushing against you, or hugging, it may signal her sexual attraction towards you.

Action steps:

• Reciprocate touch: Respond to her touch with appropriate and gentle physical contact to show your interest and build a connection.
• Be respectful: Always be mindful of her boundaries and ensure that any physical contact is consensual and comfortable for both parties.

Conclusion

• Understanding the science of sexual attraction and being aware of the signs can provide valuable insight into a woman’s feelings towards you.

When FRIENDS started airing, men all over the world unanimously agreed that Jennifer Aniston is irresistible. She did, and still has everything that makes a woman attractive physically. However, we still don’t know why we’re attracted to the things we are. Or what makes a woman attractive physically? If you were asked to pin down why exactly you’re drawn to a woman, you’d probably find yourself struggling to list the reasons.

Why is that the way her lips curl up when she smiles makes a guy’s heart skip a beat? Why can’t he stop admiring the way her hair sits on the nape of her neck? And why do men feel that pull toward certain women more than the others? Did you know that men subconsciously assess a woman for good health and fertility? Yes, the little things guys find attractive in women are subconsciously rooted in their assessment of her as a potential mate.

All you women out there, next time, ditch the chocolate-covered strawberry in bed and whip out an avocado salad. When it comes to what do guys look for in a woman’s appearance, science has its own answers based on fertility and health. If you ask a guy that same question, we’re quite sure he’s not going to use the words ‘fertility’ and ‘health’.

Seducing a man is not that hard. But what about when you want to leave him awestruck? That’s when knowing what men find irresistible in women comes in handy. We’re here to help you out with a list of 13 features that make a woman attractive physically.

13 Female Physical Features That Attract A Man Immensely

The best features of a woman is a hotly debated topic. Millions of magazines tell you what to wear and just how to pull it off. Influencers, fashion shows, celebrities, all look to find the next big thing in fashion. But is that new dress from the high-end fashion store what makes a woman attractive to a man?

Every once in a while, a Marilyn Monroe pops up and unites men in common admiration like no social or political cause will be able to. It’s perhaps the closest we’d ever come to find a unanimous answer to what do guys find most attractive in women. But other than that, if you ask around, you might get varying and even confusing answers to this question.

Of course, when it comes to beauty, there’s definitely more than what meets the eye. True beauty lies on the inside, but today we’re just focusing on physical features that men find irresistible. So, what exactly do guys look for in a woman’s appearance? Let’s decode that mystery by understanding what makes a woman attractive to a man:

1. The first thing men notice about a woman…her eyes!

Among the things guys find attractive in a woman, her eyes top the list. Yes, the first thing men notice about women isn’t what you were expecting it to be. Myth buster: Most times when a guy looks at you the first thing he thinks about isn’t sex. It’s whatever your eyes can tell him.

One of the best features of a woman is her eyes. No, blue eyes don’t take the top spot here as men seem to admire all eyes regardless of the color. Oh, and the eye makeup won’t really do much for guys, since they can’t even tell the difference between eyeliner and mascara. No guy truly understands why they are two different things.

So, what is it about a woman’s eyes that draws a man to them? The answer lies in the expressiveness and depth. If your eyes have that inexplicable hint of intensity, men around you may have a hard time looking away.

2. Strictly for childbearing assessment: your hips

The first thing that guys look at may be the eyes, but that’s only if they’re not looking at you from behind. It may sound like the weird things guys find attractive in women at first, but if you really give it some thought, it isn’t that weird after all.

Scientifically, a low waist to hips ratio (waist narrower than hips) has been considered one of the best features of a woman. Men subconsciously relate wider hips to better fertility and the biological wiring goes nuts. So that’s why men check out the butt. Purely for scientific reasons (wink, wink).

Studies claim that a waist to hip ratio of 0.7 is what guys look for in a woman’s appearance. We are yet to find someone who does not agree with these findings.

3. That 10/10 smile

If you’re wondering what do guys find most attractive because, despite your best efforts, you haven’t been able to catch the attention of that special someone you’re crushing hard on, it may be time to flash your best smile at him more often. Among the various little things guys find attractive in women, this one is a no-brainer really.

Just think about it: would you rather go talk to a person who’s all smiles or someone who looks like their aunt just asked them why they’re still single? Yeah, smiles attract people. A healthy set of teeth coupled with a warm welcoming smile attracts a man to a woman sexually.

What’s more, guys find friendliness attractive in a girl’s personality. Make him fall for you with that smile. If the smile was the result of something funny the man said, that smile then becomes the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen. Women who give men an inviting smile are the kind of girls guys like most.

4. Your hair signifies a lot

Speaking of the physical features that men find most attractive, your hair is right up there. Long and healthy hair is associated with good health and feminine qualities, which makes a woman more attractive physically. Those hair spas might not be a wasteful indulgence, after all.

So, if you’ve been contemplating whether or not to put your hair under the knife again, it may be a good idea to hold off and stop drooling over those long bob photos on Pinterest.

There is no real winner in the debate of which hair color attracts a man to a woman sexually the most, claims this study. It comes down to personal preference. Traditionally, however, blonde women have had a slight edge when it comes to them being approached in a bar.

5. Scent of a woman

More important than any kind of makeup you can put on is the scent you go with. Most men wouldn’t be able to pick out an eye shadow from a blush, but the perfume you go for can have lasting effects. Men will find you attractive if you smell nice.

If you have a signature fragrance and a man smells something similar somewhere, you’ll be the first thing that comes to his mind. Neat, right? There’s a reason why perfume advertisements have been using lust as a selling point since forever. Smelling nice is associated with better hygiene and those are the kind of girls guys like most.

Studies even show that men can be attracted to the natural scent of some women. Yep, natural scent definitely sounds like one of those weird things guys find attractive. So, the weirdness of it notwithstanding, the question is: how to nail that natural scent? Pro tip: applying a mild citrusy body mist just after a shower is a great way to create the semblance of an invigorating natural scent.

6. A few notes higher: Your voice

We already mentioned how a warm inviting smile makes women attractive physically. But what do guys think is cute in a woman? Well, when that warm smile is paired with a high-pitched voice, you have yourself a winning equation. Traditionally, men have been known to be attracted to women with higher-pitched voices.

For the sake of everyone’s sanity, it’s important to mention that high-pitched doesn’t equal shrill. Play the voice of Janice from FRIENDS in your head and re-read that sentence, and you’d get exactly what we mean. (Oh. My. GODDDD, nope, not attractive).

Digs aside, a high-pitched voice attracts men because it is associated with feminine qualities, youth and hence, attractiveness. Studies also show that men also like the kind of girls whose voice sounds like their own too. Talking, in the same manner, makes forming a bond easier.

7. Go easy on the makeup

What makes a woman attractive physically? As we’re discovering, there is no singular answer to that question. But there is one for what dents a woman’s attractiveness to a man – a face painted with makeup. Studies have found that women often overestimate the volume of makeup men prefer. Be it for themselves or to attract someone sexually, women apply makeup in hopes to make themselves look more desirable.

However, it is generally agreed and backed up by studies that men prefer a modest amount of makeup on women. Women who do not apply a lot of makeup attract men toward them sexually. An almost natural, no-makeup look is associated with good health and lets your natural skin shine through. No-makeup look is attractive, more than you know.

8. Another one strictly for science: The breasts

Yes, folks you heard it here first, it appears the breasts are one of the physical features that men find most attractive. In other news: water is wet. In fact, it could unarguably also be the answer for what do guys find most attractive in women. Men prefer bigger breasts when it comes to size, but what most matters is the overall figure.

A waist slimmer than the breasts is the driving factor behind what makes a woman attractive physically to men. The breasts are subconsciously connected with fertility in the male mind. Accentuated breasts and a thin waist are what men find irresistible. Purely for scientific reasons, of course.

9. A sense of humor

We know, not exactly a physical feature but it is what guys actually find attractive in women. And that’s why a sense of humor deserves a special mention here. What guys find attractive in a girl’s personality is how inviting and friendly she is. A warm persona with inviting body language can subconsciously make people feel happier around them. A sense of humor makes it easier for men to trust women and connect with them. 

There’s nothing that makes a woman attractive physically more than a charming sense of humor. Once men know they can hit it off with a female and go back and forth with the jokes, they start dreaming of a future with them. Keeping a conversation going is one of the sexiest things you can do with a man. 

10. Do guys care about height?

Not the most important factor in what makes a woman attractive physically to men, but it’s definitely something men consider. Men prefer women who are a little shorter than them, but not too short. A low waist to hip ratio with a fairly tall height always attracts a man to a woman sexually. 

No, being taller than the man is not an instant turn off but some men prefer their women to be shorter than them. It’s all fun and games when you slip into your heels till the guy realizes they make you taller than him.

11. How your legs attract men

Long, toned legs have been a sign of good health and attractiveness since kingdom come. Legs proportionate to a woman’s height make her immediately attractive physically. Even if the female is not necessarily tall, having longer legs as compared to her torso will make her more appealing to a man.

Shapely legs are what men find irresistible in women. You know what that means: no more snoozing on leg day. Squats are your new best friends.  

12. What your lips say about you

Part of Angelina Jolie’s appeal was her lips, unsurprisingly. Having thick and fuller lips makes a woman physically more appealing, and is one of the features men find most attractive in a woman.
Since the color red has been associated with lust and inciting such feelings in men, red lipstick is the shade of choice of most women looking to attract men. 

A breathy voice like Marilyn Monroe’s, lips donned with red lipstick, will leave men sweating. Throw a lip bite into the mix and we’ll have a murder on our hands.  He won’t be able to stop himself from thinking about kissing you.

13. Overall hygiene

Good hygiene, fitness, youthfulness and attractiveness are all traits men notice in a woman immediately. As mentioned before, men will subconsciously assess women for their child-bearing capabilities. The healthier she is, the better.

The natural scent of a woman was mentioned as a turn-on for men, but that can only be so if the woman has a healthy diet and exercises regularly. Throw healthy shiny hair and a proportionate body in the mix, and you have the ideal combination that makes a woman extremely attractive to men. Taking care of yourself is one of the best features of a woman.

To wrap it up, what makes a woman attractive physically is how comfortable she is in her skin. A killer smile with an attractive and inviting personality will do more for you than makeup ever did. Loving yourself, being comfortable with what God gave you and having stellar confidence will make you attractive to a man. Don’t be too worried about the perfect height or the perfect ratio. The whole world doesn’t have to fall in love with you, just the one special person.

It’s heartbreaking that you’ve reached this stage in your marriage, where you have to learn how to deal with your husband not wanting you. Conflicts are bound to happen in a relationship every now and then, which may lead to a spouse losing interest in their partner. 

One of the many reasons a husband doesn’t want his partner anymore, according to a recent research, is income. It was found that male psychological distress reaches a minimum when the wives make 40% of total household income. The distress reaches at the highest level when men are entirely economically dependent on their wives. 

To find out the other reasons a husband no longer wants to be intimate with his spouse, we reached out to psychologist Jayant Sundaresan. He says, “Before we analyze the problems between the spouses, we need to find out how long they’ve been married to each other. Time frame makes a difference. If it’s been just a year or two, then it could simply be communication issues that they are facing. The longer the marriage, the more profound a problem could be.”

Why Does A Husband Not Want His Wife — 5 Probable Reasons

It’s an anxiety-inducing feeling when a husband doesn’t want his wife. Below are some of the signs your husband is steadily losing his interest in you:

• He isn’t affectionate with you anymore 
• He doesn’t share his feelings with you 
• He stops being curious about your life 
• Quality time has been ceased
• You no longer go out on dates 

Jayant says, “If you are saying “My husband loves me but not sexually”, then you need to look at your marriage from a different perspective. How is your marriage as a whole? Is it just sexual intimacy which is lacking or are there any other stressors which are causing a disturbance to your sex life?” Before finding out why you have intimacy issues and what you can do about it, let’s look at some probable reasons for this behavior.

1. Mental health issues/stress

What does it mean when your husband doesn’t want to touch you? It could simply mean he is dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, or any other mental health problems. As we age, we tend to develop health problems that hinder us from enjoying certain things in life. He could be experiencing the same thing. This could be one of the major underlying issues that is causing a turbulence in your married life.

Depression is one of the leading factors for reduced libido in men. This could be one of the reasons why your husband won’t make love to you. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), about six million American men suffer from depression every year. A study on sexual dysfunctions in depressed men has proved that there is a decrease in sexual desire, problems in ejaculation, and in achieving orgasm when men have mental health issues.

2. Low self-esteem

Self-esteem is an essential key to loving yourself. When that goes for a toss, the general opinion a person has about oneself becomes questionable, which gives rise to insecurities. This can negatively impact your emotional well-being. When we asked Jayant for tips on what to do when your husband doesn’t love you anymore, he says, “Work on improving his self-esteem.

“When a person has low self-esteem, they think they don’t deserve love. They think they are not worth their partner’s intimacy, especially of a person he is in love with. They think they are unattractive and remain consciously ignorant to their partner’s sexual invitations. This is one of the major reasons he is avoiding sex altogether.”

3. Performance anxiety 

Sex is one of the most gratifying pleasures of a relationship. You are supposed to enjoy it freely, but many people go through performance anxiety before/during sex. If you constantly keep thinking about how well you should be doing sexually, it might lead to avoidance of sex. We’ve received messages from readers telling us: “My husband hasn’t touched me in years.” Then this could be the reason for it.

When asked on Reddit about performance anxiety disrupting their sex life, a user shared their experience. They said, “I have been dealing with performance-related problems for years. It has been a very long road for me. I felt pathetic for a long time because I thought I was alone in the world.” 

Below are a few tips to reduce sexual performance anxiety, as shared by a user on Reddit. 

• Learn what your problem is and the reason behind it
• Don’t move forward if you aren’t comfortable 
• Be honest and share your concern with your spouse
• Indulge in foreplay if you are having second thoughts about your performance
• Don’t feel guilty or stress about it. Take it easy, it’s more common than you think

4. Alcohol, drug usage, and pornography 

Avoiding the usage of adult films is the answer to “What to do when your husband ignores you?”. The more frequently you watch adult films, the less your sexual drive becomes. Research suggests that terminating the usage of porn is sufficient to get back to your normal, healthy sex flow. 

If your partner doesn’t want to be intimate with you, then his alcohol and drug usage could be the problem. Excessive alcohol usage consumed on a daily basis can lead to a decrease in the production of testosterone. It doesn’t just affect your sexual functionality but it also leads to loss of libido. 

According to a study on the effects of drugs on male sexual function and fertility, it has been found that drugs can have negative effects on male libido, erection, ejaculation and orgasm, as well as on fertility. 

Jayant adds, “Also, when you are addicted to pornography, you become selfish and indulge in self-gratification. You feel disconnected from real life. There will be no inclination to do anything for your partner’s pleasure. You satisfy yourself and hence you don’t see the need to satisfy your partner.”

5. Major life changes 

Jayant says, “If your partner avoids you, then don’t take it as one of the signs your husband is planning to leave you. It could be due to major life changes. When such changes take place, you tend to look at your partner differently.”

Some of these life changes could be:

• Moving to a new city/country
• Children getting married
• Birth of grandchildren
• Becoming devout and religious
• Thinking they are too old to have sex (aging)

9 Ways To Deal With Your Husband Not Wanting You

Jayant says, “Marriage is a living entity. You have to work on it every single day. You can’t be affectionate today and be aloof tomorrow. You can’t say “Oh, I was nice to you yesterday. Today, I am expecting affection from you.” Marriage doesn’t work that way and it isn’t as simple as that. You have to consciously contribute to make it work. It’s the little things that make your marriage stronger.”

Before we find out the answers to how can you make your husband fall in love with you again, let’s look at the possible reasons why your partner doesn’t want to be intimate with you, and what are the stressors that are building a wall between you and your partner:

• Money issues could be one of the root causes of your marital problems
• Conflicts on how to bring up children and how to discipline them
• The amount of freedom each spouse has in the marriage
• Rules on dos and don’ts of a marriage
• The extent to which they are living their individual lives 
• Expectations could be getting in the way
• Not articulating your needs clearly
• External factors like in-laws, work-related pressure, and mental disorders

When you see the signs your husband is not in love with you anymore, don’t lose hope yet. Here are a few things you can do to revive the love again and cope with your husband not wanting you:

1. Communicate more

If your husband avoids you, then you need to find out why. When both of you are in a good mood, sit down and talk about it. The more you communicate with your spouse, the more peaceful your marriage will be. Jayant says, “Communication is a two-way street. Both parties should participate equally to understand and clear each other’s doubts. Every relationship where there is unconditional love will have partners willing to communicate on difficult topics.”

A study on marital satisfaction and communication skills has found that “Couples who have effective communication skills express their desires more effectively, resolve their conflicts, share their thoughts and feelings more easily with each other, feel more intimate and close to each other, and finally they experience a higher quality of marriage. A high quality of marriage helps couples to be less at risk of marital burnout.”

2. Identify the comfort level 

How comfortable are you with your partner? It’s important you understand that being best friends with your spouse can enhance your relationship in incredible ways. Lack of comfort can be harmful. The two of you aren’t just sharing a home. You are sharing your lives together. If you are saying “My husband loves me but not sexually”, then maybe he isn’t comfortable with you anymore. You need to build mutual intimacy by:

• Establishing an emotional connection with the help of deep emotional conversations
• Being vulnerable with each other
• Learn each other’s love language
• Try to become each other’s best friends

3. Identify the issue

Jayant says, “This is the main solution to your ‘how to deal with marital problems’ concern. You need to identify the main issue and see if that can be addressed in a positive way. You won’t know how to get your husband to desire you if you don’t narrow down the problem.” 

The issues could be:

• He’s losing interest due to your unwillingness to experiment in bed
• He’s put off by your sky-high relationship expectations 
• He’s not in love with you anymore
• He is having an affair
• He’s not interested in sex anymore, which is something that needs to be talked about

4. Focus on other things

Jayant says, “Stop fixating on sex for a while. Hit pause on that particular problem and focus on the rest of your life. Do you think sex is the only good thing about your relationship that’s keeping it together? Wrong. Although it’s one of the contributing factors, there are many more dimensions than sex in a marriage.

“You can go without sex for a few weeks and just enjoy each other’s company. Go on a trip together. Help each other out with household chores. Focus on your career and personal achievements. If you have children, find ways to become better parents. Otherwise, your own behavior that’s toxic will be mimicked by your kids when they get older. Sex cannot be given prime importance when there are so many other aspects of your marriage.”

How to deal with your husband not wanting you? Look for things other than sex that keep your marriage afloat. According to a study by the University of Rochester, a marriage based on love and respect doesn’t just ‘happen’. Both spouses have to do their part. Marriages take work, commitment, quality time, trust, accepting flaws, learning to forgive, and love.

5. Have the expectations talk 

How to deal with marital problems that are so deep that it’s not even a healthy relationship anymore? Talk to him about expectations. It’s the unspoken expectations that ruin a relationship. It sets you up for failure because when they are unmet, you tend to develop resentment toward your partner. When you thrust such unrealistic expectations upon them, they might feel trapped in the relationship.

Jayant says, “Expectations in relationships are a breeding ground for negativity and disappointment. You can’t expect your marriage to be how it was in the initial stages. Every relationship has to witness mundaneness once the honeymoon phase fades. If you can’t talk to them in person about this, you can text to make your husband want you back by aligning your expectations with each other’s capabilities. Keep your relationship healthy by not letting sky-high expectations create relationship problems.”

6. Cultivate empathy 

Be understanding of what your partner is facing. If he is battling an addiction, stress, erectile dysfunction, or any kind of mental health issue, support your husband on the journey of recovery. You can’t just stand there and expect him to get better on his own. Let him know he’s seen and heard. When you don’t have empathy in your marriage, you will soon start developing intimacy issues as well.

When asked on Reddit how important empathy is in a relationship, a user shared, “Empathy for me leads to an understanding of a variety of humans; it allows you to make decisions based on not just your own feelings, but that of others. This doesn’t mean you have to cry with every person who’s going through heartache, but understanding their feelings and being a support in that respect is pretty solid.” 

7. How to deal with your husband not wanting you? Spice it up 

Jayant says, “How to get your husband to desire you? Up your bedroom game. Shake things up. It’s a possibility that your husband could be bored of repeating the same thing every day. Resolve issues related to intimacy by removing throwing boredom out of the bedroom. Surprise your partner. Look for erotic things you can say to your partner.” 

Some of the things you can try to get rid of the boredom:

• Send a flirty text to make your husband want you
• Change of scene – Book a hotel and go on a vacation
• Discuss fantasies, likes, and dislikes
• Role play and toys
• Create a sex playlist 
• Massage each other 

Shayla, a 40-year-old nurse from Los Angeles, writes to Bonobology, “I have to beg my husband to sleep with me because we had relationship issues that created a physical and emotional distance between us. I don’t know if this marriage has any positive aspects left. I feel unwanted by the man who swore to love me till my last breath.”

If you are having similar problems, then try to make your husband feel loved by experimenting in the bedroom. Ask him what he would like you to do and vice versa. Don’t let him feel like you only care about your physical needs. Take care of his needs as well and your husband might respond to this in a positive way.

8. Build intimacy

Jayant adds, “What does it mean when your husband doesn’t want to touch you? Maybe he wants to be close to you emotionally. Try to build an emotional attachment with him. Connect with your partner on a deeper level by helping him let his guard down. Bring a little tenderness into the relationship. Hold hands. Touch each other’s cheeks. Run your fingers through his hair. A man really appreciates it when he is being shown love.”

If your husband avoids you, then here are some concrete examples that have known to increase closeness between couples:

• Express love by cooking for him
• Getting him a small gift 
• Appreciating him for everything he does
• Small gestures like asking open-ended questions will make your husband feel loved
• Supporting his dreams
• Spend time with him without any technology interfering
• Show physical affection. Touch his waist, hold hands, and run your finger through his hair once in a while

9. Seek professional help 

If nothing works out, you should try to get professional help and work on the issue. They will have a better understanding of the whole situation. Whether it’s a difference of opinion or a genuine lack of interest in keeping the relationship alive, a therapist will understand the root of your problems in a better way. If you’re looking for professional help, Bonobology’s panel of experienced counselors is only a click away.  

5 Things You Can Do To Improve Intimacy In Your Marriage

Lack of intimacy can directly lead to a loveless relationship. You don’t choose to be trapped in a sexless marriage. It can happen to anyone due to the many factors mentioned above. You begin to feel unloved, insecure, and it takes a toll on your mental health. If you don’t know how to deal with your partner not wanting you, then these tips can help in improving intimacy between you two:

1. Date each other

Jayant says, “Bring back the feeling of how you were when you first met each other. Go back to the dating phase. One of the main reasons a relationship gets boring is that partners stop being curious about each other. When you are newly dating someone, you want to know every single thing about them.”

This should be the first step when you are trying to cope with your husband not wanting you. Be fully present when you are with them. Keep your phone aside. Take time out to have some ‘us’ time. No kids, no television, and no work. Go on dates to rebuild romance. Recreate that magic of the first year. 

2. Attract them physically 

How to deal with your husband not wanting you? Get a new look. Get a haircut, a new outfit, put on his favorite scent, or put on makeup when you’re at home. There’s nothing wrong in changing your hair color if that will make your husband notice you. He might be busy with work and this little change might spark romance between the two of you. 

Jayant says, “It’s not a big deal to do little things for your partner. It’s only concerning when you change your personality for them. A level of physical attraction is necessary to sustain a relationship.”

A Reddit user shares, “Physical attraction is extremely important in a marriage. If you don’t feel any attraction to an individual, do them and yourselves a favor and refuse the proposal. You are not going to have a good time building a lifetime together if you are having doubts from the very start. Your personal preferences do not have to adhere to the conventional take of pale skin, slender build, or straight hair. But you should feel a spark at least.”

3. Practice other kinds of intimacy 

If you are saying “My husband hasn’t touched me in years” or “My husband neglects me”, then maybe he isn’t feeling secure or is feeling distant from you. Prove yourself to be a trustworthy partner who he can rely on. One of the next steps you can take is by trying to develop other kinds of intimacy.

Be vulnerable with him by sharing your weaknesses, secrets, traumas (if you’re comfortable), and desires. There are many things that happen when a man is vulnerable with you. He becomes more authentic and he will communicate better. He might just reciprocate eventually, with time and no pressure. Create emotional, intellectual, and experimental intimacy. 

4. Show appreciation

Let your partner know from time to time that they are loved, valued, appreciated, and accepted for who they are and as they are. Simple words of affirmation go a long way in keeping the relationship harmonious. Show you are grateful for their presence in your life by appreciating them. 

Here are some things you can do to show appreciation to your husband:

• Thank them for being a part of your life
• Have dinner together every day
• Find out your partner’s love language and try to tap into it
• Show that you are in this together

5. Make each other happy 

Make each other laugh, watch a few funny movies or videos, and go and play with animals at a pet center. Shared smiles and laughter can help you build back intimacy with each other. These are the simple rules for a happy marriage.

Jayant says, “How you keep each other happy is the crux of the matter in a marriage. Either way, you have to do it for yourself, and for your partner. If you love someone, you want to make them happy. Not because they are demanding happiness from you and vice versa, but simply because you want to keep them happy.”

What If Nothing Works?

Many couples go through this phase where marital problems and intimacy issues have infected the relationship deeply and can’t be taken care of. You don’t feel loved by your husband and you don’t know how to cope with your husband not wanting you. You tried your best to give this marriage another chance but your husband had given up on you long back and stopped caring where the marriage was headed. If you are going through a similar situation, here are some things you can keep in mind when nothing works:

1. Know that it’s not your fault 

A high-conflict divorce means traumatized participants. It’s not just the husband and wife here. If you have kids, they are also equally suffering. According to studies, the most commonly reported major contributors to divorce were lack of commitment, infidelity, and conflict/arguing. The most common “final straw” reasons were infidelity, domestic violence, and substance use. 

If you haven’t done any of these things and even if you did, it’s not right to blame yourself for it. These guilt-ridden thoughts will chip away at your sanity and will make it difficult for you to come out of the toxic self-blame cycle. 

2. Forgive yourself 

You did everything you can to save your marriage. When nothing worked, you decided to leave your loveless relationship. It’s only fair you forgive yourself and not let the past trauma keep haunting you in your new life. Don’t let these things affect your future decisions and perspective. Your peace of mind is important. 

3. Let go of all the anger and resentment 

These are negative emotions that won’t do you any good. The more you harbor them, the more they will weigh you down. They will make it harder for you to co-parent as well. Stop the husband-bashing right away and understand that it is what it is. Here are some tips to let go of resentment in a relationship:

• Journal your feelings 
• Understand your anger. Where does it stem from? Is it because your husband left you or because they fell in love with someone else? Is it really the divorce that’s bothering you or the rejection? 
• Meditate 
• Practice self-care
• Find support from friends and family 

Remember, you can’t place the responsibility of your happiness on another person. If you want to be happy in life and in marriage, you need to learn to do that by yourself. Marriage takes a lot of communication, trust, and the ability to let go of a few things. In a healthy marriage, you will fight, forgive, and forget. Ultimately, we hope you find your way back to each other soon.

As a child, I was never a touchy-feely person. The ease with which people reach out, touch, and hold each other has always been a source of curiosity to me, so I decided to investigate further. Why do people hug? What are the types of hugs guys like? What kind do girls like? How to tell if a hug is romantic? Are there different types of hugs? Imagine my surprise when I found out that there are 11 different types of hugs and each one of them has different connotations and health benefits.

If, like me, you too have been confused about why hugging is such a prominent expression of intimacy and affection, you’re in the right place. I’m going to share all that I’ve learned about the different ways of hugging and what they convey. Let’s get right into it.  

11 Different Types Of Hugs

According to studies (and there has been a lot of intense research on the topic), the receptors in our skin are so sensitive that any touch can spark off a reaction in our brains. Skin-to-skin contact is a potent instigator of the release of oxytocin. Now oxytocin – also known as the love hormone – is the thing responsible for making you feel mushy and loved up. This positive response can carry you through a large part of the day. 

Upon further investigation, I discovered the types of hugs and what they mean depends both on the amount of physical contact involved and the response elicited in the body. Body language i.e “the conscious and unconscious movements by which attitudes and feelings are communicated,” can indicate a lot more than we realize. Psychologists and experts have studied body language with reference to different hugs and categorized 11 types. These include:

1. The bear hug

I soon realize that the Bear Hug is considered one of the best types of hugs. Why you may ask? Well, when a person comes to you and enfolds you in his or her arms, holds you tight, and squeezes you for a while, the feeling can be indescribable. Bear Hugs are types of intimate hugs that suggest a healthy relationship. One which is full of strong positive and reciprocal feelings. While this is not always a type of romantic hug, bear hugs remind you that you are loved and appreciated. That someone out there has your back and can offer the emotional support you require. 

2. The full body hug

Much like the bear hug, a full-body hug is a strong and tight hug with full-body contact. Couples or close friends hugging like this may have intense eye contact and hold this tight embrace for a long time. Full-body hugs may or may not be one of the types of romantic hugs but they are not normally exchanged between colleagues or acquaintances.

Children love giving and getting full-body tight hugs and I suspect this arises from the need for skin-to-skin contact. Giving a child a full-body hug can calm him or her down and placate their feelings in no time. Try it out the next time your child is having a meltdown or getting agitated. It can work wonders toward making the child feel comfortable.

3. The long hug

According to doctors, a long hug is a hug that lasts longer than ten seconds. The longer the hug, the greater the impact on the nervous system. When you think of types of intimate hugs, long hugs definitely come to mind. If your romantic partner loves long hugs, odds are that he or she is developing feelings for you.

Best friends give each other long hugs when they need each other to lean on. Family members or those in a long-term relationship indulge in this type of hug when comfort and reassurance are required. If someone approaches you and embraces you like this, it may mean a silent cry for help. Take the time out to reciprocate and get to the bottom of the problem.

4. The London Bridge hug 

The London Bridge Hug is a short, quick hug where two people’s upper bodies lean toward each other and touch. However, their lower bodies remain firmly apart indicating a formality in the relationship. It may look a bit awkward. This is the type of hug that is exchanged in a professional setting and could indicate some level of discomfort in either one party or both.

Body language experts reiterate that a London Bridge hug is a polite hug and mean that neither party really wants to get too close to the other. A word of warning – there is no possibility of a romantic relationship if someone hugs you like this.

5. The pickpocket hug

You’ve seen this type of couple around. And they either infuriate or enchant you with their public displays of affection. A Pickpocket Hug is the type of intimate hug when partners walk around with their hands tucked into each other’s back pockets. This type of cuddle hug occurs when a couple is very comfortable with each other. They may walk silently but are still in touch with each other without talking. The signs are clear here that the physical relationship between the two is strong and mutual. This also rates high on the types of hugs guys like. 

6. The straddle hug 

Every Hollywood romantic movie has at least one scene with a straddle hug. In this type of hug, usually, the feminine partner wraps her legs around the other. A straddle hug can be done either in bed or while standing up. It can even be a hug from behind or a back hug. 

It’s the epitome of intimacy in a relationship and passion. This is considered a type of romantic hug that is a prelude to something sexual for sure. Straddle hugs indicate trust and comfort and a wonderful physical connection. No surprise, men rate this type of hug from a woman as the best type of hugs. 

7. The quick hug

A quick hug is just what it says it is. A quick lean-in with body contact that ends almost as quickly as it begins. It could even be a perfunctory hug from behind. It can be exchanged between colleagues, friends, relatives, and even couples. Though, if you are a couple and only exchanging quick hugs, there may be problems afoot in your relationship. I would check up on that.

A quick hug (also known as a polite hug) is also indicative that the people involved are not really comfortable or invested in each other. You could call this type of interaction a more socially expected one rather than one with any real impact or meaning.

8. The slow dance hug

If you indulge in a Slow Dance Hug also known as the Waist Hug or Sexual Hug, there is enough romantic tension between you and your partner to light up a room. In this style of hugging, the guy wraps his arms around his loved one’s waist. The other partner holds him around his neck and draws him close. This hug exudes joy and love and can be considered a stepping stone to a more intimate relationship. Men rate this type of tight hug from women as the most pleasurable. 

9. The side hug

Also referred to as the Buddy Hug, the Side Hug is a relaxed expression of comfort. Generally, a short, sweet, fun hug, it happens when a person next to you leans in and wraps an arm around your shoulder or waist. People also hug this way when posing for photos. How do you tell if this hug is romantic?

I hate to disappoint you here but this is no frisson of flirtation but rather an expression of a good mood. If a girl or boy hugs you this way, take it from me, it is one of the signs they are not into you and they see you just as a friend with no romantic feelings involved. 

10. The flirty hug

According to the experts, this is how you give a flirty hug – “Wrap your arms around your partner’s neck, lean your head on his chest, or hug her with one arm and draw her close.” A flirty hug may also entail stroking a person’s arms, a tight back hug, or nuzzling their neck when leaning in. This is one of the body language signs they are in love with you and won’t mind being intimate with you.

All these modalities indicate the need to get closer and show your interest in the other person. You don’t need to be an expert to know that such types of hugs from a woman or a man are confirmation that the person is very into you and wants to take these intimate hugs to the next level.

11. The heart-to-heart hug

When you see a person you love and care about, you may raise your arms wide open, maintain eye contact, draw the person in close, and hold the hug for a while. This full-contact hugging can end with a short pat on the back or a shoulder rub. The intense eye contact attraction continues even post the hug. Supposedly highly restorative, this alignment of the heart can calm a person’s energy and increase serotonin levels making both parties happier. Win-win!

Key Pointers

• Hugs can be categorized according to their length and the amount of body contact between two people 
• Not all types of hugs are romantic or intimate, some can be friendly or simply reassuring and supportive 
• Hugs are good for mental, physical, and emotional health 
• It has been scientifically proven that hugging and being hugged can reduce stress and improve sleep 

It seems an inevitable conclusion then that hugs are good for you (and me). The flooding of the body with love hormones improves overall health and longevity. This simple act of touching can improve and initiate conversations and communication leading to lower stress and more happiness. After reading all about how even normal hugs can lower your blood sugar and moderate your heart rate, I realize the importance of touch to all human relationships (and not just romantic ones). Let the hugs commence! 

FAQs

1. What are the different types of hugs?

As seen, there are many varieties of hugs. A lot depends on the duration of the hug, how much of the body is in contact with the other, and the body language of the person receiving the hug. Not all hugs are enjoyable. For example, certain hugs like the London Bridge Hug may be an awkward hug or a polite half hug one done out of duress or social mores. The Bear Hug or the Flirty Hug has the same meaning – that of a deeper relationship between the two people. A Heart-to-heart Hug can be just the empathetic response one needs when distraught or emotional. 

2. What do different types of hugs mean?

According to psychologists and intimacy experts, the types of hugs and what they mean no matter whether you are the giver or receiver can tell a lot about your relationship with the other person. Research shows that Side Hugs or Quick Hugs are signs of a formal connection or could just be friendly hugs with newly met acquaintances. On the other hand, Full Body Hugs, Sexual Hugs, or Straddle Hugs are definite signs of sexual attraction and are not exchanged between friends, no matter how close. Hugs can tell you a lot about the trust and comfort levels in a partnership or the support and sympathy amongst close friends. 

3. How long should a hug last?

A recent study by Science magazine showed us the optimal hugging mode. According to the website, several volunteers (including close friends, strangers, romantic partners, and families) hugged and were hugged in a variety of permutations and combinations. The overwhelmingly positive response was to hugs that lasted between 5 to 10 seconds long. There was also a preference for arms being crisscrossed around each other. This position provided both partners with the maximum gratification and scored high on the feel-good factor scale.

Is he flirting with me or being nice? Was that a normal blink or an “I want you!” blink? If your inner monologue often sounds like this, don’t fret. Flirting comes naturally to some people, but it’s totally normal to feel you need to work on it. For most of us, this involves planning out our next move, wondering whether we’re laughing too much and too often, and constantly worrying about where we should put our hands! Yes, the struggles of knowing how to flirt are real!

However, even if you’re a master at flirting, spotting those surefire signs a guy is flirting with you isn’t always easy. After all, it’s difficult to be fully aware of another person’s intentions. When it comes to dating, this often makes it tough to figure out if a man is being nice to you, or letting you know they’re interested.

To help you on your way to answering the age-old question, “Is he flirting with me?”, we’ve put together an extensive guide to spotting those definite signs he’s flirting. Discover all you need to know below!  

What is Flirting?

Before trying to answer the question, “Is he flirting with me?” it’s worthwhile taking a step back a recapping what flirting actually is. As Merriam-Webster’s definition of flirting states, to flirt is “to behave amorously without serious intent.”

Commonly, this behavior involves something spoken or written — or the use of body language — that suggests interest in a person beyond friendship. This can often be subtle and indirect, making it tricky to spot whether someone is showing interest.

How to Tell if a Guy Is Flirting With You: 15 Surefire Signs 

The best way to answer the question, “Is he flirting with me?” is to look out for the most common signs of flirting. These will give you an idea of what his thoughts and intentions are, helping you to figure out what steps to take next.

Below, we’ve put together a list of 15 of the most definite signs a guy is flirting with you, so you’ll have the best chance of knowing how he’s feeling!

Sign #1: A telling touch

One of the most obvious signs a man is flirting is if they’re physically reaching out. The initial touch will probably be subtle and playful. When you’re walking next to each other, pay attention to how close he gets to you. Does he reach out and help guide you as you cross the street? Does his hand linger on your back for just a millisecond longer than a friend would keep it there?

If it seems he’s consistently making physical contact in this way, it’s a good sign he’s flirting and that this is more than a nicety!

Sign #2: Lots and lots of text messages

A good way to tell if it’s flirtatious or friendly is by checking your messages. Does he text you throughout the day, either reaching out to you directly or speaking to you in a group thread? If so, you’re likely on his mind. 

Flirting over text can be a fun and relaxed way to connect. Just make sure you’re confident he’s on the same page before you start crafting those spicy flirty texts.

Sign #3: He follows you on social media

Similarly, following and interacting with you on social media is another indication of flirtatious behavior. Is he sending you hilarious Instagram reels all the time? Does he like all your tweets and Facebook posts?

Any kind of extra attention when it comes to smartphone use is usually a pretty good sign a guy is flirting with you. If you want to flirt back in the same way, send him in some of Zoosk’s TikTok videos so you can both laugh and share stories about your dating experiences!

Sign #4: Teasing

Just as it was in our high school days, one of the most common flirting techniques is the gentle tease. We’re not talking about him pulling your pigtails — we hope that was left behind in the schoolyard – rather, subtle teasing at your expense.

Of course, this needs to be gentle and good-natured. Often, it involves inside jokes or gently poking fun at you for something. So, whether he’s given you a funny nickname, made jokes about your guilty pleasure music choices, or poked fun at you for your undevoted love of romance novels, gentle teasing is one of the easiest ways to tell if a guy is being flirtatious.

Sign #5: Eye contact

This is one of the surest signs he’s flirting. Do you notice him catching your eye a lot, whether he’s talking to you or not? We look at people we’re attracted to, we can’t really help it. So, if you’re asking yourself, “Is he being friendly or flirty?”, pay attention to whether your eyes lock every time you both laugh. It’s a strong sign he’s into you.

Sign #6: He isn’t checking his phone

If he’s into you, you’ll have his full attention. Whenever you’re together, if you notice that his phone stays in his pocket, it shows you’re holding his interest. If a guy likes you and is flirting, you’ll be the pinnacle of his focus and everything else will be background noise, including his phone.

Conversely, if he’s taking it out every minute or two to read messages, he might not be as into you as you’re hoping and probably isn’t likely to be flirting.

Sign #7: Body language

You’ve probably heard it a thousand times, but it remains true. Body language is one of the best signs a guy is flirting with you. Is his body turned toward you when you sit next to one another? Are his feet pointed at you? Does he find a lot of excuses to be near you, physically touching you or just standing as close as possible?

Flirting isn’t just about the thing he says. If he’s sending you visual hints through his body language, he’s probably interested. Body language cues are one of our best tools for flirting, so look out for them!

Sign #8: He tries to impress you

One of the signs that a man is flirting is when he goes out of his way to impress you. Do you find that he’s often telling you about himself and his achievements? This could be a sign that he’s hoping to capture your attention and win your affection.

This might not be straight-out bragging though. Flirting in this way is often done by guys who’re genuinely interested and are doing their best to impress you. After all, it’s only natural that we want to present our best selves to someone we’re attracted to.

Sign #9: He gives you a lot of compliments

Compliments are a classic sign of flirtatious behavior. Whether it’s appreciating your cooking or commenting on your outfit, a guy who showers you with praise is a good sign he’s flirting. Just make sure that the compliments feel real. If they come across as over-the-top, it can be an indication that he’s not being genuine.

Sign #10: He’s always trying to make you laugh             

Have a sense of humor is one of the most important things to look for in a guy. And, knowing how to tell if he’s flirting often comes down to how the conversation between you plays out. If the guy is making a lot of effort to crack some jokes and make you laugh, it’s a good indication that he’s flirting.,

Sign #11: He wants to spend one-on-one time together

When it comes to signs he’s flirting, making excuses to spend one-on-one time with you is one of the most obvious picks. Does he invite you for a coffee date with friends but then pretends that the others canceled at the last minute so now it’s just you and him? Does he offer to stay late at work and help you out with a group project?

Whatever form it takes, showing a desire to spend one-on-one time with you is one of the clearest signs a man is flirting and that he’s into you.

Sign #12: He gets nervous around you

When it comes to dating, we all get nervous. But did you know that nervousness is a potential indication of flirtatious behavior and a sign that he might like you?

This can show in different ways, whether he stutters a bit when talking to you, fidgets a lot, or turns a bit red and sweaty. And, if he’s normally a confident guy, spotting this nervousness can be a surefire sign he’s trying to flirt with you.

Sign #13: He’s always finding ways to start a conversation (and keep it going)

When asking yourself the question, “Is he flirting with me?” think about how your conversations are. Does he make the effort to come up with new things to talk about or take the time to go deeper into topics and have meaningful discussions? Does he demonstrate that he’s listening intently to what you’re saying and is totally focused while you’re talking?

If so, it shows he genuinely enjoys talking to you and that he’s interested in what you’re saying. These are strong signs he’s flirting and a good indication that he’s into you!

Sign #14: He always seems happy when you’re around

What’s his demeanor like when he’s around you? An easy way to tell if he’s flirting is by seeing how is when you’re with him. If his face lights up when you walk in the room and his mood heightens, there’s a good chance he’s into you and he’ll start flirting.

Sign #15: He tells you directly!

Finally, and this one might sound obvious, when a guy straight up says he’s into you, you can be sure he’s flirting. Being explicit and direct leaves no doubt in the mind. This is the best scenario from which to kickstart a new meaningful relationship!

Is He Flirting With Me? Yes! Now It’s Time to Respond!

So, is he flirting with me or just being nice? If you’ve recently spent time with a guy and spotted some of those surefire signs he’s flirting, it’s time to figure out your next move!

Flirting can be a great way to build up a genuine connection with someone new. So, once you’re confident you’ve spotted his flirtatious behavior — and you feel physically and emotionally attracted to him too — join in the fun and get flirty yourself! Ask him some flirty questions, see where things go, and you’ll be on the path toward a meaningful, lasting relationship in no time!
