When you get to know a new, cute guy, you probably can’t help wondering at some point, “is he good in bed? Is he a good kisser?” It’s totally normal to want to know what a dude is going to be like when it comes to hooking up, but in order to know for sure, you have to, you know, hook up with him first. Obviously. But if you’re feeling impatient and you want to know that info before you hit the sack, there might be a few ways to tell what kind of hookup he’ll be.

According to Tracey Cox , the sexpert over at The Daily Mail who also provided us with this info, you can tell what kind of a hookup a dude is going to be just by carefully studying some of his actions. Let’s take a look at what she says, shall we?

Pay attention to how he eats. Tracey says that “A good appetite usually means they’ve got a lusty libido to match.” So basically, if your crush eats a lot and really loves eating, that means he’s more passionate in bed. Also, if he’s not willing to try some crazy new food, he’s probably also not willing to try something different in the bedroom.

Focus on how he talks. If he’s one of those guys who’s constantly talking with his hands and getting really into a conversation, he’ll probably get really into hooking up as well. Passion!

Watch them in social situations. If he’s outgoing, that means he’ll be able to tell you what he likes and wants when it comes to hooking up. But if he’s shy and reserved? He’s not going to be great at sexually connecting with you, according to Tracey.

Pay attention to where he sits. Okay, so say you guys go out to dinner or sit together in the cafeteria or something. If he sits facing you and only you, that means he’s focused on you. But if he sits in a perfect people-watching spot, he’s not that into you?

Watch how he touches other people. If he has enjoys his personal space and doesn’t walk around hugging people or whatever, he’s not open to intimacy. Tracey says, “Physical distance often translates to emotional and sexual distance.”

Look at how he holds your hand. Does he only lightly hold onto your fingertips? Bad sign, girl, bad sign. You’re getting warmer if he’s doing a traditional “palm-to-palm clasp,” but if he does that, don’t think he’ll be spontaneous in bed, because he won’t be. You’ve got a winner if intertwines your fingers together because that’s more erotic.

So, if you carefully study all of those actions, you should be able to determine whether he’s going to be a fun, exciting, passionate hookup… or if he’s going to be lame and shy and boring.

Or maybe you could just wait until you hook up with him to find out for yourself?

In case you couldn’t tell, I’m not buying these hookup clues. Okay, yes, some of these things do make sense. It would make sense for an outgoing guy who’s pretty passionate about everything in his life to be just as passionate when it comes to getting down and dirty. But, and this is a very important lesson, that doesn’t mean that always happens. You can be hanging with the most friendly, outgoing dude ever and then hook up with him and find that you’re just not into it. At the same time, you can hook up with a quiet guy who’s just not into holding hands and he could maybe even be the best hookup of your life.

Basically what I’m saying is that you don’t need these clues. Please don’t sit around and study your crush for all of these things and try to figure out whether he’s going to be good in bed or not. First of all, you’ll look a little crazy. Second of all, you could be missing out on something awesome. Maybe he’s nervous and uncomfortable around you because he likes you. That doesn’t mean he’s a bad hookup!

Doing this stuff is essentially judging a book by it’s cover and we’re not down with that at Gurl. What we are down with is giving people a chance to really show you what they can do rather than assuming you know what they’re going to be like based on a few clues you read about online. Trust us on this one – go with your gut, give everyone a fair chance and don’t take these hookup clues seriously.

Would you ever use these clues as a way to tell if a guy is a good hookup? Do you think this is stupid or good advice? Tell me in the comments.
