1. A genuine smile

Nothing beats a genuine and warm smile. A smile says it all. When a guy looks at us and can't help but smile...how could we not get butterflies? When it's the kind of smile where you can see the emotion in their face you instantly know exactly how they feel about you - they don't even need to say anything. It may sound cliché but it really does give you that warm kind of fuzzy feeling and butterflies in your stomach.Original content sourced from Femanin.com2. Intense eye contact

They do say eyes are the windows to our soul for a reason, and it's because when you look into someone's eyes you see the truth. Sometimes actions and words can mask how someone really feels but the eyes tell it all. And when a guy gives you that intense kind of eye contact, there's something about it that makes us hot and flustered and we get that butterfly feeling.3. Telling her she looks beautiful

When we like or love a guy we of course want to hear compliments from him (a certain way to give us butterflies) because words of affirmation from the right guy give us the best feeling in the world. And there's something about hearing that we look 'beautiful' that is just super special and we feel happy and reassured but nervous all at the same time!4. Forehead kisses

Kisses in general are a sure way to give a girl butterflies because who doesn't love kissing? But if you're a girl I'm sure we can all agree that there's something different about forehead kisses. In a way, they feel more affectionate. It feels like an action that's come from a place of pure love, and that feeling alone is enough to create butterflies in our stomachs!5. Flirting

Flirting can either be really cringy and kinda gross, or it can be very sexy and give us a guaranteed butterfly feeling. When it's a guy you are into, and he knows how to flirt, then there's nothing hotter than flirting. It's one way you're sure to give a girl butterflies and it lets you know that you're interested without explicitly having to come out and say it.6. Good morning texts

When you wake up and you're in love or majorly crushing on someone, the first thing you do is go straight to your phone hoping to check it and see his name right there. So when you do, and you read a good morning text from him the butterflies hit instantly and your heart just melts. Good morning texts really start the day off on a high and have you thinking about him all day.7. Remembering small details
Image source: Reddit
A guy who remembers small details about you is a guy who REALLY likes you and is taking a keen interest in everything about you. If he's showing you that he's remembered your favorite song or he knows your dog's birthday then this guy is showing boyfriend traits. He's thoughtful, he cares about you...and how could that possibly not give a girl butterflies?8. Giving their jacket...

Chivalry at its finest, when a guy gives a girl his jacket when she's cold it gives her butterflies. It feels like a protective gesture because his first instinct is to look after you, even at the expense of himself. Little romantic gestures like this are enough to give any girl butterflies, especially if somebody's looking for a true traditional gentleman in the traditional sense of the word.9. Looking at her lips

When a guy looks at your lips we all know what he's thinking. It's a well-known sign that if they can't take their eyes off your lips they're thinking about kissing you, wanting to kiss you, or about to kiss you. So if there was an action that was going to give us butterflies, it's got to be this. It's something that creates a huge amount of attraction and chemistry.10. Running his hand through his hair
Image source: Reddit
It's a key scene in all the romantic movies for a reason. A guy running his hand through his hair is hot, and when we see them do it it gives us serious butterflies. It's an act of confidence, basically saying 'I look and feel good right now', and that is SUPER attractive to a girl. Even if he's doing it absent-mindedly, or because he's a little bit nervous that's also just as attractive.11. Arranging date night

'I'll pick you up at 8, I've got a surprise date night planned for you', or 'dinner and movie night, be ready for 7 I'll meet you outside your door'. Now are these not the worlds that we would all LOVE to hear? A guy arranging and planning date night just for us to make us feel special, it's the dream. It's a super romantic gesture and it really shows he cares about you.12. Reach for her hand

Who would have thought that such a simple gesture such as reaching for a girl's hand could have such a huge effect? But it really does, it's a display of affection and care that makes you feel much closer to one another. It's also a reassuring sign that he wants you to feel safe with him. Such a simple thing as touching her hand can have such a profound effect on a girl.13. Having confidence
Image source: Reddit
Confidence in a guy is super sexy. When a guy exudes confidence it's almost like a magnetic force towards him that just draws you in...even if you don't to want to be sucked in by it! There's just something incredibly attractive about a guy who has self-confidence and is comfortable in his own skin. A confident guy is a sure recipe for giving a girl butterflies.14. Laughing at your jokes
Image source: Reddit
When we say a joke what we picture in our head is the joke landing in a room where nobody laughs or so much as smiles and it's massively awkward. So when a guy laughs at our jokes of course it makes us feel good. It's a sign to a girl that this guy likes you and appreciates your personality and humor which is one of the most important things for forming a relationship!15. Playful teasing
Image source: Reddit
Playful teasing is one of the flirtiest things you can do. Things don't really change from being young to being an adult, most of us still love to flirt by playful banter and teasing each other and still get butterflies from it. And when a guy does it to us it displays the fact that there's a real connection between the two of you that you have inside jokes and areas of common interest!16. Hugs from behind
Image source: Reddit
Hugs in general are enough to give us butterflies. Hugs are an action that makes us feel fuzzy and warm and loved. It's the feeling of security and reassurance everyone sometimes needs. But hugs from behind are even more likely to give us butterflies because they're usually a surprise, and it means that he saw you and just had the desire to feel close to you.17. Telling her she smells nice
Image source: Reddit
Compliments in general are lovely. But being told we smell nice for some reason is one of the best things we can hear. Perhaps it's because smelling nice is something an area of insecurity - a lot of us worry about smelling funky from time to time. It also feels very intimate, that he's paying such close attention to you and likes the way you smell.18. Showing passion for a hobby
Image source: Reddit
It's so attractive and endearing seeing a guy so passionate about a hobby. Either seeing him whilst he's taking part in it or he's just telling you about it and you can see how happy it makes him is such a great quality. Guys don't realize how attractive this is for a girl and that even if you're telling her about something she's got no interest in, just seeing the way it makes you feel will give her butterflies.19. The three words
Image source: Reddit
Those three little words. They are so small and have such a huge significance. Being told 'I love you' by the right person is one of the best feelings in the world. It's everything we want to hear. And no matter how long you've been with someone, whether it's completely new or it's been 20 years when you're in love it will still give you butterflies each and every time you hear it.20. Surprises
Image source: Reddit
You may adore being surprised or you might say you hate surprises, but either way, if a guy arranges a super thoughtful surprise for us we're going to undoubtedly get butterflies. It's less about the surprise factor and more about the fact that he's arranged a gesture simply just to make you happy, for no other reason than he cares about you.21. Taking initiative
Image source: Reddit
Everyone wants a guy to take some initiative. When a guy makes the first move or makes plans and takes some initiative it is a clear sign to a woman that he's interested in pursuing you. So when he's going out of his way to do things for you and take some initiative it of course makes us feel good as we know that your interests are totally reciprocated!22. A wink!
Image source: Reddit
A wink can be controversial because it really does depend on the context. I'm sure we've all experienced random guys winking at us and it certainly does NOT give us excited butterflies. But if it's the right guy and you're into him, then a wink can make you weak in the knees. It's fun and cheeky and you know that if he's winking at you he's trying to flirt with you!23. Thoughtful gifts
Image source: Reddit
When it comes to a gift the meaning comes entirely from the thought, regardless of how expensive or inexpensive the gift was. When your guy has thought about the perfect give that you would love, something personal to you that he knows will make you happy that kind of care and attention is guaranteed to give her butterflies. It's a way to show how much they think of you.24. Standing up for her
Image source: Reddit
Being in a situation where you feel vulnerable or you feel at the brunt of somebody's criticism isn't nice. But whatever the situation is, the one thing that does help is having someone you care about have your back and stand up for you. When he shows he's stood in your corner and willing to defend you there's no better feeling and it's a true show of love!25. Asking questions about them from genuine interest
Image source: Reddit
Asking questions is how we get to know someone properly and how we forge a deep and meaningful connection. So regardless of whether a guy is attracted to you physically, the way you know he's interested in YOU is when he shows a genuine interest in you and your life and asks questions. So when a guy does do this it shows that they value your opinions and thoughts.26. Hair strokes
Image source: Reddit
Stroking a girl's hair is a staple move, this guy knows what he's doing! It's an instant heart flutter generator that makes you feel close to him. Everyone loves to feel loved and cared for and this is exactly how it makes you feel. There's something about it that's just super attractive and caring at the same time. It's soft and gentle but it also feels very intimate too.27. Talking about the future
Image source: Reddit
From the first day we realize we care about a guy, to having been with a guy for ages, we want to know that they feel the same way we do. So when a guy talks about the future it gives a girl butterflies because it clearly shows her that you are just as invested in this relationship as she is and that you want it to continue. He can envisage his future with you in it!28. Offering to help her
Image source: Reddit
There are many things that a guy can do such as take us out or compliment us that are beautiful things, but they are still just scratching the surface. But when a guy's actions aren't just about impressing you, they're about genuinely helping you this is when we know his feelings are real. So when a guy truly wants to help us out it gives a girl butterflies because she knows she's truly valued by him.29. Remembering important dates
Image source: Reddit
'So what are we doing for the 9th of July, it's our anniversary coming up', 'I've booked a restaurant for 2 weeks time it's the day we first met'. If a girl hears these words, she's not just getting butterflies she'll be falling in love with you all over again. There's nothing more attractive than a guy who is thoughtful and sensitive and genuinely cares about his girl.30. Showing he genuinely cares about her
