If a guy has been smiling at you every time he sees you then you might be wondering why and what it might mean about the way that he feels about you.

This post will show you a number of reasons why he might always smile at you and why other guys might do the same in the future.

So, what does it mean when a guy smiles at you every time he sees you? It could be a sign that he is attracted to you especially if he only seems to do it to you and if he shows other signs of attraction around you. He might also do it because he is being friendly or because he is being polite.

There are actually a number of reasons why a guy might smile at you every time that he sees you and there are a number of things that you can consider.

Why a guy will smile at you every time he sees you

Each of the different reasons why a guy will smile at you every time he sees you will likely come with a number of clues in the way that he does it and the body language that he shows.

Below, I will show you a number of reasons why a guy will smile at you every time he sees you, the signs to look for and the things to consider.

He is attracted to you

The reason that he smiles at you every time he sees you could be that he is attracted to you.

This would be more likely if he only seems to do it to you and he doesn’t do it to other people as well.

If he does do it because he is attracted to you then it would also be likely that he would show other signs of being attracted to you as well by doing things such as:

  • Adjusting his appearance when he sees you
  • Watching you when you are around other guys
  • Holding prolonged eye contact with you
  • Standing closer to you than he does with other people
  • Keeping his focus on you when other people are talking
  • Asking you the most questions
  • Getting defensive when other men are around you both
  • Pointing his feet at you when he is around you (people will often point their feet at the person that they are most interested in)
  • Glancing at you a lot
  • Having dilated pupils when looking at you (people’s pupils will become dilated when looking at someone that they are attracted to)

There are more signs of attraction that he might show around you and I have written about more of them in this blog post.

He considers you a friend

The reason that he smiles at you every time he sees you could be that he considers you a friend.

This would be more likely if he also seems to smile at other people as well, in the same way, and if he shows similar body language around his friends as he does around you.

If he does seem to smile at other people, in a similar way, then it could still be the case that he is attracted to you. If he is then it would be likely that he would show some signs of attraction around you.

He is being polite

It might be the case that he does it because he is being polite.

This would be more likely if he smiles at you after you smile at him or when you both make eye contact with each other. It would also be more likely if he does it in a situation such as when you are both walking past each other and his body language is otherwise neutral towards you. However, it could still be the case that he does it for a different reason.

Consider when and where he smiles at you

When trying to figure out why he smiles at you every time that he sees you it would be helpful to consider when and where you tend to see him.

If you tend to see him in a more formal setting then it would make it more likely that he smiles at you to be polite. It would help to consider whether or not he also smiles at most other people as well. If he doesn’t then it would be more likely that he is attracted to you.

If you tend to see him in a more social environment then it could be the case that he is being friendly. Again, it would help to consider whether or not he also smiles at other people. It would also be more likely that he does it because of being attracted to you so it would be important to observe if he also shows other body language signs of attraction.

Consider how he reacts to seeing you

It would also help to consider how he reacts upon seeing you.

If he noticeably changes his body language, in a positive way, when he sees you, then it would make it more likely that he is attracted to you.

So, if he reacts to seeing you by doing things such as:

  • Adjusting his appearance
  • Holding his gaze with you for longer than usual
  • Adjusting his posture
  • Moving closer to you
  • Facing towards you (especially with his feet)

Then it would make it more likely that he is attracted to you.

Consider how he interacts with other people

People can, naturally, show body language signs that would normally mean something. This is why it would help to compare the way that he interacts with you with how he interacts with other people.

If he also smiles at other people in a similar way and he shows similar body language around them as he does around you then it would make it more likely that he considers you a friend.

Whereas, if he shows different body language around that shows attraction you then it would make it more likely that he is attracted to you.

Consider multiple body language signs

When considering what his body language might be showing it would help to consider multiple signs at the same time.

This is because he could show a single body language sign for multiple different reasons. This can make single body language signs less reliable.

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

If you want to learn more about body language, a book I would recommend would be The Definitive Book of Body Language (on Amazon). It shows you how to interpret body language and understand people's true intentions.
