What does it mean when a guy sends you eye emojis?

Below are likely reasons why a guy would send you eye emojis and what would make each of them more likely.

He likes you

Sending you eye emojis might be a sign that he is attracted to you.

It would be more likely that he is attracted to you if he tends to text you first, he responds to you quickly, he texts you later in the evening, he texts you questions about your relationship or if he tries to organize meeting up with you when texting you.

If he is attracted to you, he would likely show a number of signs of being attracted to you in his body language and behavior when he is around you in person.

These signs could include doing things such as:

• Mirroring your body language
• Holding prolonged eye contact with you
• Asking you the most questions when you’re in a group together
• Standing closer to you than he normally stands to other people
• Positioning himself to be near you
• Asking your friends about you
• Talking to you with a deeper voice than he does with other people
• Becoming anxious when you’re talking to other men
• Sticking around while you are with other men
• Basing his schedule around your schedule
• Getting defensive when you are both with other men
• Watching you when you are with other men
• Staring at you then quickly looking away or smiling when you notice
• His pupils dilate when he is with you
• Sitting more upright when he notices you
• Uncrossing his arms when he notices you
• Adjusting his hair or clothing when he notices you
• Pointing his feet at you (people will often point their feet at people that they are attracted to)
• Hugging you the more and for longer than he does with his other friends

He is being nice

Often, people will send eye emojis when they are trying to be nice and it might be the case that he sent you the eye emoji because he was trying to be nice to you. This would be more likely if you know that he also sends eye emojis to other people and if he acts in a similar way around you as he does around his other friends. It would also be more likely if he was just joking when he was texting you and not trying to do things such as meet up with you.

He was trying to cheer you up

Another possible reason why he sent you the eye emoji is that he was trying to cheer you up. This would be a lot more likely if he sent it when you were talking about something that made you or him sad or if something sad happened to you recently.

He was teasing you

Sometimes, people will send eye emojis when they are teasing someone and it might be why he sent you an eye emoji. This would be more likely if he sent it to you when he was joking with you about something. In this case, it might also be the case that he was trying to flirt with you which would be more likely if he sent you something sexual.

He was letting you know that he saw you

It could also be the case that he sent you an eye emoji because he saw you. This would be more likely if he sent it when you were in the same place together or if he mentioned that he saw you.

Things to consider

Here are things you can consider to help figure out the main reason why he sent it.

The context of how he sent you the eye emoji

It is important to consider the context in which he sent the eye emojis. If he sent them when you were talking about something that made you sad, it would be a lot more likely that he sent it because he was trying to cheer you up.

Whereas, if he sent it when he was also doing things such as trying to meet up with you, he was texting about sexual things or he was asking about your relationship, it would be a lot more likely that he is attracted to you.

If he always sends you eye emojis and he acts similarly with you as he does with his other friends, it would be more likely that he considers you a friend.

If he sent it when you were in the same location as each other, it would be more likely that he was letting you know that he saw you.

How he interacts with you in person

Another thing to consider would be how he interacts with you in person. If he does things such as touch you the most, look at you the most and stand closest to you, it would be more likely that he is attracted to you. Whereas, if he behaves the same way around you as he does with his friends it would be more likely that he was just being friendly.

Consider how often he texts you

It would also help to consider how often he texts you.

If he often texts you and start conversations with you, it would be more likely that he is attracted to you because it suggests that he is thinking about you a lot.

Whereas, if he doesn’t text you often, it would be less likely that he is attracted to you and more likely that he tries to make his texts more personal. However, it could still be the case that he does like you in which case it would be likely that he would show signs of attraction when he is around you in person as mentioned in the first section.

Consider how quickly he responds to you

It would also help to consider how quickly he responds to your messages.

I have written more in-depth in the past about what it means if a guy responds to your texts quickly here.

However, if he does respond to your texts quickly, it would be more likely that he sends you eye emojis because he likes you since it suggests that he is glad that you texted him and that he wants to talk to you a lot.

If he takes a long time to respond to your texts, it would be less likely that he is attracted to you. However, it still might be the case that he is since he might be busy and some guys will actually wait to respond on purpose. If he is attracted to you then it would be likely that he would show signs of it when he is with you in person.

Consider what he texts you

Another thing to consider would be the type of texts that he sends.

If he only texts you school/work-related things, it would be more likely that he naturally sends eye emojis and less likely that he does it because he’s attracted to you.

Whereas, if he tends to text you sexual type things or questions that are related to your relationship status, it would be much more likely that he sends eye emojis because he is attracted to you.

Consider who texts who first

It would also help to consider who texts who first.

If he tends to be the first one to start the conversation, it would be more likely that he is attracted to you since it suggests that he thinks about you often and that he wants to continue talking to you.

Whereas, if you tend to be the one that starts the conversation, it would be less likely that he is attracted to you. However, he could still be attracted to you and he might just prefer not to text people in which case it would be likely that he would show attraction to you in person and that he would try to organize meeting you when he does text you.

If you both tend to start the conversation at an equal amount, it would be necessary to consider the type of things that he texts you, when he texts you, if he tries to meet up with you and how he interacts with you in person to understand why he sent you an eye emoji.

Think about how he reacts to seeing you

When trying to understand why he sent you eye emojis and the way that he feels about you it would also be helpful to consider the way that he reacts to seeing you.

If he noticeably changes his behavior and body language when he sees you, it would be a strong sign that he has good or bad feelings about you.

If he tends to react to seeing you by:

• Avoiding saying silly things
• Adjusting his hair or clothing
• Mirroring your body language
• Sitting or standing with a straighter posture
• Smiling
• Raising his eyebrows
• Holding eye contact
• Uncrossing his arms
• Making space for you
• His pupils dilate

Then it would be more likely that he sent you eye emojis because he is attracted to you.

Look at multiple aspects of his body language

When considering his body language when trying to understand why he texted you an eye emoji it would be best to look for clusters of signs.

This means that you should look for multiple body language signs that all suggest the same meaning.

This is because he might show a single body language sign for a variety of different meanings making it difficult to understand what it means.

Whereas, if he shows multiple body language signs that all suggest the same thing then it would be much more likely that he is showing them for that exact reason.
