Why he teases you

People can show certain body language signs naturally. This can make body language signs that would normally suggest something become less reliable. This is why it would help to compare the way that he interacts with you with how he interacts with other people.

If he shows the same body language around you as he does with his friends and he teases them as well then it would be more likely that he considers you a friend. Whereas if he only seems to tease you and he shows more positive body language around you then it would be more likely that he is attracted to you.

If he was a guy that you had not met before then it would be more likely that he either does it naturally or he was attracted to you depending on the behavior and body language that he was showing. Whereas, if you have known him for a while then he could have done it for any of the reasons mentioned above.

It would be necessary for you to consider the behavior and body language that he was showing and to consider his normal behavior and where he did it to get a better idea of why. This is because a single body language sign will often have many different possible meanings. This can make single body language signs less reliable on their own. Men sometimes show off in crazy ways to get attention from women, even risking their health and safety to do it.

They found that testosterone levels increased when a man was showing off in front of a woman, compared to when he was performing in front of a man. You might think that crazy stunt he is doing is stupid, but he might just be trying to impress you. Generally, a guy likes to appear strong and manly as a way to show a woman he can take care of her, but when he is interested in a deeper relationship, he will let her take care of him sometimes.

According to clinical psychologist Henry Cloud in the article "6 Strange Boyfriend Behaviors" in "Cosmopolitan," a man may let himself become vulnerable around a woman he trusts. He may open up about his deepest thoughts or personal feelings as a way to get closer to you and receive your comfort. He may try to tease you or joke with you or flirt with you and, frankly, he might be bad at it.

He might seem arrogant and brash at first, but give him a chance. It's a thing guys do with each other to show affection. They banter. Some men are still the awkward boys from grade school, no matter how old they grow. He's trying to be playful, not realizing he's not coming off well. He acts cocky and brags. Ironically, one of the biggest signs that he loves is coming across as him loving himself — A LOT. Tall, dark, and boastful? But oftentimes men brag in an attempt to build value.

In short, they want to impress you. Is he making lots of eye contact? Is he standing a little taller and taking on a manly stance? Does he reach or fix something for you? Hey, humans have their mating rituals too. Same goes for him ordering the steak or a scotch.

He might have shown up with all his friends but he has no qualms about ditching them to go with you…anywhere!
