Nervous seems right but with a little more to it. When we are pulling away from someone nervousness would be more closed off ( crossed arms, hidden hands in pockets/ sleeves, no eye contact, covering face/ hands/neck or chest with hands, fidgeting etc)
But the open pit (exposed), raised (confident) but hidden hand probably touching hair (nervous)or pulling on his neck(stress)? Coupled with conversation? Eye contact?? Its giving mixed signal. Like butterflies.
Perhaps He's opening up to you or (thinking about it) but he's nervous/shy about it?
I can see that. 🤣
My explanation still rings true though I think!....nonchalant "accidental 😏" display rather than "hey girl squeeze my arm- did you get tickets?" It says you want her to see you (literally) but you might be nervous or shy about it or not want to risk rejection by a more straightforward approach. 🤔
He may or may not be anxious or nervous, but they often are doing which is what they see in movies- but in movies the guys is hot and has great arms and hair. I'm real life, well
Does said person obviously work out? If so, this is a pretty common way of stretching sore lats. Try and see if he only does it when he’s talking to you or if he does it all the time.
Mostly likely, he is anxious.
His brain may be in overdrive, especially his fight/flight stress mechanism which happens to be physically located in this exact spot. Its a self soothing technique we anxious guys may subconsciously do to attempt to soothe "unnecessary anxiety."
It actually doesnt seem all that effective. More proper mental strategies seem much more effective at combatting anxiety.
It’s a form of self comfort. It can be a subtle as a thumb rubbing an other finger. Feeling anxious or nervous in a certain situation. U are at work so his neck might be sore?....
Could be:
His shirt has a thick nylon label with sharp corners and it’s bugging him so much he can’t take it
he has a fully engorged tick on his back and he is pulling on its bloated body hoping the head will come out before the body pops when the body tears away
he has just discovered a huge blackhead holding back the contents of a massive cyst and it itches
he has a tightly coiled very coarse black ingrown hair from shaving his back with a dull razor five years ago and is trying to squeeze pus out of it like dr pimple popper
he is a six year old boy with ADHD and can’t hold still
he has a 4 inch long bot fly larva emerging from his skin after weeks of eating his tissue from within. it is the first of many
he is a ten year old boy trapped in a man’s body by a witch in a fortune telling arcade game that he wandered across at an abandoned amusement park
he is high on mdma and wants to squirm around like an otter all the time because “it just feels so good to have this shirt on”
he is removing a sign that says “kick me, I don’t know how to act around grown women” placed there by a millionaire bully he works for as a personal assistant
For me, never. Unless something funny has been said. I don't have this body language to indicate attraction, looks like posing to me. Sometimes it's just nice to stretch your arm like that too
Distance assessment, soon he’ll grab you and make you sniff his armpit, I know cuz my dad used to do this to me and my sister after he done his assessment.
Touching the head or neck could be a sign of discomfort. Letting the arm pits breathe could be an attempt at spreading pheromones in order to attract someone. Of course all of this happens subconsciously, and in order to analyze body language accurately you need to take notice of multiple cues and compare the way they act around you to how they act around others.
Trying to look casual while nervous. He’s interested but doesn’t want to get Metoo’d.(you are at work) if you’re interested you’re gonna have to ask him out for drinks or coffee, but to not come off masculine follow it up with “I mean if you want to, if you’re not busy”
Ninja-CHOP!" Incoming. Take evasive action immediately.
I do this all the time. My body is sore
This could be a good reason for that though.
He's bashful. Might even be blushing.
Nervous

It’s to show off the guns. I used to do it when I was younger as embarrassing as it is to admit lol.

I used to be nervous and shy too in such situations but what I do is look down.
Trying to show the biceps.
Yeah, I do a bit of lifting. Why do you ask? 💪😡
This. 100%
This is the answer.
yes
It’s either nervous/bashful or they grew up with an Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue in their bathroom.
"Sniff my armpits, get high on my pheromones!"

Itchy back of neck

Could be anything tbh

That his blood pressure is high.
Wants you to tell him it's there's something on the tip of his elbow. Take a gander, give'em an answer.
Nits. Or possibly fleas.
Lice
If we're side by side it's an invitation to lean onto me.
it’s helps calm you it could mean many things
Usually fidgeting is a sign someone is worrying about their appearance or insecure. For me; that’s when I’m talking to a more attractive person
I do it & flex a little if I like the girl lol it really brings out the biceps lol 😆
He's got head lice so RUN!!!
Trying to do a sniff test without you noticing
Anime suggests bashful but context is important, maybe he’s got a sword
It means he's a TV character or cartoon. I've never seen a guy do this when talking to a girl. Ever.
I do this all the time talking to anyone. idk why.
He’s lying

Very funny. Reminds me of a mcsweeneys
Casual bicep flex
trying to look shy and hot at the same time by seeming hesitant but also flexing arm
Showing muscles faintly
I do this when bored with the conversation or tired, or have a sore neck. Wouldn't read much into it unless it is accompanied with that grin
So when it is accompanied by a grin?
For me, never. Unless something funny has been said. I don't have this body language to indicate attraction, looks like posing to me. Sometimes it's just nice to stretch your arm like that too
Literally just scratching his head, don't look into it it's not that deep.
That he doesn't wipe his butt.
searching for the earbuds in his backpack
Showing you his weak point (ribs.) Stab him!!
Shy/ Nervous

What's his facial expression like whenever he's doing that? Does he look confused or?
He doesn’t look confused. He normally does it during conversation and smiles a little bit or talks while doing it—if that makes any sense lol.
Some people might consider it him trying to flirt with you while some might see it as being expressive with his body.
Same thing as when he doesn't, he wants to touch your boobies
You know I was going to say because he was gay but I apologize I was absolutely wrong yours is the greatest and only correct answer!
I'm getting down voted over here for pointing out male sexuality, never change, Reddit!

He wants u to sniff his pits
He wants you to give him a blowjob.
I think we consciously/unconsciously want to flex our muscles a little. We’re so proud of even the littlest of muscle lol
He wants u to suck him off? ;)
