What does it mean if a guy touches his hair/beard while talking to you?

I was talkin to dis guy the other day & i couldnt help but notice that he kept touching his hair & his beard the whole time , but he didn't look nervous or anything so why was he keep doing dat?

I think there are about three possible reasons for hair touching/playing for both men and women. Firstly, this might be a way to flirt, showing that you are playful and open (this is mostly used by women). Secondly , it might be a nervous habit, something to do in order to calm ones nervousness and emotions. And thirdly it could show boredom and disinterest in the subject at hand. Usually, you need to look at other behavioral actions to realize if your partner is feeling flirty, bored , nervous, etc.

He just wanted to make sure he was still looking "groomed" lol (if that makes sense)

Like how some of us girls, pat our hair down, or put our hair on the one side of our shoulders, or fluff it up a bit to cover our ears, it's just like that.

You're asking something very general based on a highly specific incident. He might have been having a bad hair day; he might be a fidgety guy; he might be more nervous around you than he appears; there is no way to know.

I stroke my short beard on occasion. For me, it's really just pleasing to touch and it kind of becomes a habit. That's about it, really.

This guy could also be doing it because of nerves, though. That's totally possible.

Oh I forgot, It can be kind of soothing too : )

It might be a nervous habit or a way of grooming like he's trying to make sure the hair is arranged how he wants.

They are just fidgety people. I tend to touch my face a lot when I'm engrossed in my conversations.

I think he’s touching his hair because he doesn’t know where do he but it.. like he is a bit stressed because of you and when this happens it means that he likes you.. so try to ask him why not...
