If a man touches your waist from behind, you’re probably wondering why he did it. This article should help you understand why he did it and how it will happen in the future.

1. He’s comfortable being with you

It doesn’t matter so much whether he’s in love with you or just sees you as a friend. For him, you’ve already broken down each other’s walls and he’s comfy doing things with you.

2. He’s seducing you

A man touching your waist from behind can give you goosebumps—the good kind if you like him, the bad kind if you don’t. And that’s because the waist is one of the most intimate zones in our body.

Don’t be fooled that it’s just nothing if the guy has shown other signs that he likes you. If he’s touching your waist from behind, he obviously knows what he’s doing!

It can even be the start of foreplay if you respond with equal enthusiasm.

3. He’s marking territory

He wants to show other people that he got you first.

It’s a “code” for other men to back off and stay away from you because you’re already theirs.

When there’s an outside threat like other men around, men tend to rush towards the girl they’re into and show their “ownership” over her.

4. He may just be a natural flirt

There are those who are conscious that they’re flirting with people but there are those who aren’t even aware that they’re doing it because they’re so used to doing it!

If you pay close attention to him, you’ll see that he’s perfectly happy to flirt around with girls as if it were nothing.

He might not even mean anything by it and back off when a girl decides to reciprocate.

5. He’s trying to make someone jealous

It could be that he’s trying to make someone else jealous.

By touching your waist, he makes it look like the two of you have a thing.

It’s not always easy to tell, but he would try to make it obvious for you so that you can play along instead of ruining his game.

Sometimes he does it without making it obvious to you. If this happens out of the blue, look for clues by following where his eyes go.

6. He wanted to see your reaction

He could have touched your waist because he’s attracted to you, but he’s not sure if you’re attracted to him or not, so he wanted to see if you would respond positively to him.

If he did it for that reason, he will probably show it again in his body language and in his behaviour around you.

You should think about it when he suddenly does things like straighten your clothes or your hair, smile or point his legs at you when he first notices you.
