Does he ‘accidentally’ brush his knees against yours at the pub? Does he like watching your lips while you talk? You are in luck! We decode 5 signs that tell you he will be great in bed.

1. He makes instant eye contact

You know a guy is interested in you if he looks into your eyes and pays heed to what you have to say. It gets sexier when you know that he won’t interrupt but just watch you—tracing every single feature on your face with his eyes. He will watch your lips intently whenever you smile or giggle. Such a man who attentively observes and listens to you is also likely to be sexually very engaging.

2. He takes you out on creative dates

Does the guy you are falling for take you on innovative dates? He is most likely to come up with some creative moves in bed too. He probably takes pride in his prowess in selecting date locations. He’d rather take you to a sand art exhibition than for a clichéd candle-lit dinner. He is the sort who will plan in advance and book a trip to the Grand Canyon, put you up in a tent, set up a romantic dinner and a massage thereafter. He’d look for ways to whisk you away to a distant land where he could dedicate all his concentration on you.

3. He touches where it tingles

His flirting is full of innuendos but never too obvious. He touches you occasionally where it tingles the most—your ears, your cheeks, the back of your hand or the small of your back. And he will do this very deftly, when you are unaware. Software engineer Judy Jacob attests to this. “The guy I’m dating is not clingy, but he makes it very clear that he tries very hard to keep his hands off me. Which is kind of sexy. I can’t wait to find out how he will be in bed,” she giggles. Rest assured he knows all the right moves to please you under the sheets.

4. He is in no hurry

Your man takes all the time in the world to make sure that you are pleased, even if it means waiting for you to finish your meal when he has a meeting to attend after lunch. It’s his way of saying he is really into you. It also means his lovemaking will be slow—as he lets you savour each moment and makes it a complete experience for the both of you.

5. He is courteous

He will open the door for you, pull the chair and wait for to get into your apartment before driving away. This is the guy who will be eager to please you in bed. Aakriti K, a content developer, had just got over a bad relationship. So when this guy came along at work, she wasn’t sure about their chemistry. He evidently liked her but she took her time to agreeing to date him. He waited patiently. “After two months into the relationship, I mustered the courage to get intimate with him. I was in for a pleasant surprise. He treated me like a princess in bed; he’d look for ways to please me. He turned out to be a great lover.” A year later, they got married and the regal treatment continues till date, Aakriti blushes.
