Men, help me read eye contact.
Mainly interested in this guy who’s always extremely serious when looking at me: he holds eye contact and i’ve caught him looking at me when I can’t see him but whenever we interact he’s dead serious.
Never smiled back to me, he’s always nice though… He doesn’t seem shy but maybe I can’t tell cause he seems very masculine… I don’t understand if he’s just serious, or shy or intentionally doing that. He almost looks angry but I can tell he’s not haha
Honestly that can be very difficult to answer from just a description like this - it goes a whole lot into other body language as well, varying person to person and with the context.
One way of figuring this out is observing how he behaves with other people or when not interacting with you. This one I’ve applied when trying to figure people out - for instance women who’re exceedingly friendly.
Beware that the direction of the difference isn’t necessarily an indicator of how they feel about you. I’ve had this experience with my partner before we got to know each other. She acted extremely friendly towards everyone except me and I later learned that it was because she had a crush on me and was trying to hide it.
He looks pretty confident and outgoing actually… He seems down to earth and nice, but sort of proud, in the way he moves and walks or how he behaves (from what I’ve seen from a distance, so just body language and his posture…)
And he’s not afraid to raise his voice, I always notice this cause I’m very quiet myself.
Anyway, I still don’t know how to interpret his behaviour with me
Well, it usually means there’s something that makes you stand out to him compared to other people
