Raising the eyebrows are flirting signals as well, but observe if he raises his eyebrows at anyone or only at you. Men also would love to close the distance between the woman he likes and himself. He loves to lean forward and whisper in her ear just to be closer.

This allows him to make observations about the situation, and when he has gotten control of it, he would move closer. They also tend to lean back when listening, except when the person is the woman he is attracted to.

Women usually get annoyed with how bland or unsatisfying men's methods are in treating them. But it is indeed a fact that most men are alike in terms of body language. Male body language is difficult to analyze if you only have literal means of reading them. One way to truly understand a man is to interact with them and explore their personalities.
