I am in my 40's and sat next to a man in a pub and the guy is sitting normally at a table with a group of you all about the same age. After a while he turns his body to face slightly towards you to spread out leaning his back to the side wall of the booth that you are in and his arm up on the back of the chair that you are both on. He is not touching you as the way he is sat is away from you but towards you.

Is this a relaxed body language or a sign that they like you body language.

oldbag agony auntHi

It means he's had a drink or two and is chilled, he is confident and at ease with himself.

I have found that men will lean in when they talk, touch my hand here n there and the message is finally loud and clear they are interested when they ask more personal questions or for a date.

In some countries that's a marriage proposal.

Seriously though, you read way too much into things, which can sometimes get you into trouble.

Not really, comfort does not denote interest OP. In fact many times comfort shows disinterest as they don't feel the need to impress.

OP I've read many articles and stuff about body language showing interest and found most to be supposition. Mirroring, touching the noes, averting gaze, lots of eye contact, facing, touching etc.

You quite simply cannot accurately gauge interest from body language unless it's very obvious. I mean you can tell when someone is interested but what they are interested in you just can't. Does glancing down your top mean he's only after sex or that he hasn't had it in a while and its become habit, he could be a guy who goes home and wears bras and only looked to see what type you had on, maybe he wasn't looking but you bent into his gaze etc.

Does his being relaxed mean he;s interested no, it means he's relaxed around you.

I'm a similar sitter to him, will lounge back and put my arm on the back of the couch etc. to me it's just a thing of confidence and showing my comfort around people. If I'm in a situation that's more formal or for some reason I'm not relaxed then I sit more upright and closed off.

All it says is he's relaxed around you, comfortable being close, nothing else.
