When a guy looks at you and then looks down

I'm having alot of trouble recently, over someone I know. I can't find an answer to this on the internet anywhere, but I was wondering, froma man's perspective, does it mean anything when a guy looks at you (whether you're looking at him or not) and then he looks down? At the floor or desk or his shoes. He's not particularly shy.

This person seems to play out his emotions and so on very physically through his body. Like, I can see him copy the way I hold my arms a lot, he'll pretty much always be facing me, even if we're in a room full of other people, you know the stuff. I think the guy is a bit of a ladies man and I'd written him off, really. But I've known him for roughly two years and... well. I just wanted to know if it meant he was guilty about something, or, just anything.

The weird thing is that he'll look at me when someone mentions an 'ex' or something, if I'm looking away he'll hold it for a bit, before looking down. I'm not very attractive, just average. He's older, successful, and nothing could ever really happen.

It doesn't mean anything. I hate it when girls have to dissect a guys every move. It makes me sick

Hm.. I think he's thinking very deeply. Maybe he suffers from speaking his thoughts clearly and would like to think of it really well and wouldn't want to say something stupid..

It's not... it's not like that. Just I don't get to see him as often as I would like, and he does it so often, and very exaggerratively. He sort of shrugs his shoulders and lowers his head right down parallel to the ground.

If it really doesn't mean anything and is just a weird tick he has, and is mentally not connected to the movement, then, fine.

He probably has a very heavy head.

People tend to mimic other people's movements when they're interested in them.

lol why oh why does girls have to frikin analyse every single move that a guy makes.

Copying body language usually means he likes you. But don't take this to mean he has a crush on you or something; usually if you notice friends do this. Eye contact (longer than usual) means attraction.

Like I said, I'm only asking because it's such a big movement that he does. I just wondered that if any guys do something similar they could enlighten me as to their mental processes.

Meanwhile I'll offer him a stick to prop his head up.

Floor. I did try to make the distinction.

It means he's seen something on the floor that he finds more interesting than you. Maybe he's seen that your shoelace is undone. It probably doesn't mean anything...

Thanks for answering, I guess the first one is the only really applicable one. It sounds big-headed almost, but I do kind of get the impression already that he 'likes' me, from a whole vast multitude of other things, but like I said, he's a ladies' man and I'm unsure about that part of him.

Probably does find you attractive but doesn't want to give the impression that he's staring. If he ever looks directly into your eyes for more than about 2 seconds, he definitely likes you!

Why does that mean he likes me? He does that alright, but... well, do you think it's possible to be like that with a lot of people in your life at once?

Well, at least I feel better now.

It's definitely possible to do all those things and not be interested romantically. He might just think you're fit, and gets a little uncomfortable, but doesn't mean he's going to do anything about it.

I get real uncomfortable around other people, especially girls, as I've become recently rather paranoid, I always feel like they're judging, and because most of my mates are guys, I'm just a little unfamiliar with how girls judge, or what they mean through what they say etc.

As a result I'm more focussed on how they act, and because I notice when they move, I suddenly get rather fidgety, and have to either move an arm, scratch my face, cross my arms - just do something. Every 10 or so blinks I tend to feel I should look elsewhere for a second rather than straight at this person the whole time, as that could be considered a bit creepy.

Wish I didn't do all that as it must be so blatent I'm not even comfortable in my own skin, and that must be cringeworthy to watch.

Also, agree with catastrophe_.
