When a guy puts his hands on your hips, it can mean attraction, flirtation, a desire for closeness, or even a subtle display of dominance, depending heavily on context, relationship, and other body language; it often signals interest and a desire to create intimacy or connection, but could also be possessiveness or a playful gesture. Look for smiling, eye contact, and a relaxed posture for affection, or crossed arms and tense muscles for a more controlling vibe.
Men, for centuries, have been subtly trained to exude authority and strength. The hands-on-hips pose, even if subconsciously adopted, displays the V of the torso, highlighting broad shoulders and suggesting a wide stance. It's a gesture that makes one appear bigger and more dominant.
In today's edition of our daily write-ups, I will be bringing out some places that if a guy touches you there and what they actually mean. *Hips: If he touches your hips, then you can be sure that he wants to have you because there's no more game playing or chasing around.
Common Signals Women Use To Flirt. Women use most of the same basic preening gestures as men, including touching the hair, smoothing the clothing, one or both hands on hips, foot and body pointing towards the man, extended intimate gaze and increasing eye contact.
Body language that can mean he likes you includes:
Facing you, uncrossed arms, and a relaxed posture. Sitting closer than he does to other people. Puffing out his chest and making himself appear taller (trying to appear more masculine). Putting his arm around you in a caring/protective way.
Standing with your hands on your hips; usually signifies anger. It is also considered rude to stand around with your hands in your pockets. Making a V sign with your fingers and then placing it on the outside of each nostril is an obscene gesture.
Pay attention if your date leans in or touches your arm, as these gestures show interest and connection. A relaxed posture during conversation can indicate that your date feels comfortable and is interested in you.

Touching becomes flirting when it's done in a playful or affectionate manner. This could include a light touch on the arm during a joke, a playful nudge during a game, or a gentle touch on the hand while sharing a moment. The key here is that the touch is not aggressive or intrusive, but gentle and affectionate.
Guys will find excuses to touch you when they really, really like you. I've experienced this a few times in my life and the guy usually liked me to a degree. Especially if there aren't a lot of people around. He feels a little less pressured, more confident and the mood just feels a little more intimate.
He steals glances at you
Simply check his secret glances. Another way to know when a man is attracted to you is when he keeps glancing at you. If he stares at you and looks away when your eyes meet, he is probably thinking of how he can take his relationship with you a step further.
Not only is the waist an intimate area which is kind of exciting, but the message behind it is also good. You're saying "I want you to touch me". Between genders, that's never a bad thing.

Flirtatious Body Language in Women
There is a slight smile on the lips and eyes gazing forward to make eye contact. This sends a message of “I am vulnerable but open to you.” Head Tossing. An upward or sideways jerk of the head as if one is throwing aside long hair.
Butts and wide hips symbolize femininity, which makes sense why men are so attracted to them. A nice butt is also a good indicator that a woman works out and takes care of herself. Most men prefer butts over breasts, but that just boils down to personal preference.
There are a few reasons why large female breasts should be perceived as attractive. Large, developed, nulliparous breasts may signal female sexual maturity and fecundity to men (Sugiyama, 2005). It has been shown that women with low WHR and large breasts have higher mean and mid-cycle estradiol levels than other women.
Many men prefer women who are “in between” skinny and curvy.
However, many men also said they prefer curvier women, and others said they prefer skinnier women. Some even said they don't care much about body types. Baller notes, “There's a wide range of body types that can be attractive.”

What It Means – Possession or Intimacy. Touching the hip or thigh often leans towards a more intimate or even possessive gesture. It's like a secret handshake between lovers, expressing, “You're mine,” or an invitation to a deeper connection.
