I moved into a new place, and I told this guy I should have him over to come see it. His reply was “When can I??” He came over, and after talking for a bit (both of us while standing), he walked over to my couch and plopped himself down on it, sitting like this. What could it mean or signify?

I like the thoughtfulness of your response! A little long-winded to say he's being inviting, but I'm actually kind of surprised at how short so many other responses are.
Sometimes this kind of gesturing feels even territorial - more than just "comfortable."

He is informing you through body language that he is comfortable with you and accepting of your decision. There is a lot left unsaid and this could just very well be his way of showing closeness to you.
Obviously, he has an emotional connection, but again with limited offered.
It just shows that.
I would not take it as an invitation that he's trying to hook up. Brotherly affection would also be displayed as such. I would sit comfortably in my sister or brother's house.
Though I can see the above to people points. Him claiming the middle spot is leaving op with only two choices, sit further away, or be up under him.
Which is probably him reading into you inviting him to your brand new apartment without anyone else there. A lot of signals that you want to hook up.
Yeah but she clarified it in the original post that they had not known each other for a long time and that she had just invited him over for the first time to take a look at her place. If it was Two guys Who were hanging out and and one of them sat down this way. Yeah I would probably agree with you But even then I would think he's a bit of a bit of a jerk for sitting in the middlespecially in especially in another guys apartment.
Huh?
Where do you see that?
Also this is deleted. what original post are you referencing?
Thank you for Your reply. Yes, I agree. My reply was unnecessarily long-winded. And I was using voice to text feature so though it didn't seem as long. While I was saying it a didn't notice how long it wasn't till after it was posted And that's where a lot of the random periods and weird grammar comes from.
Yeah, the other comments saying that he just felt comfortableWere a bit odd To me considering that it was his first time in that apartment and she had invited him. And they obviously don't know each other that well. Considering she has to post on Reddit to get other peoples, opinions on what his body language means
But thank you for your critique, and I'll try to make my comments More direct and to the point less long winded
It's cool, I love your objectivity and thoughtfulness! You're a delight to chat with!
Thank you that was nice lol ur pretty swell urself.
Confidence and invitation
Audition time
Even got the camera and lighting perfect
Black is so outdated. Red light leather with Velcro cushions are so in right now.
He is marking his territory
Very comfortable and relaxed. Confident
Seems like he into you and having open body language to demonstrate how comfortable he is around you.
Definetly saying "I own this place" with connitations of "well partly - it's not mine, haha"
He was being courteous; as you had mentioned, you had a new place; he wanted you to see that you had done a great job at making it comfortable. He wanted to convey that your place can make anyone feel comfortable enough to just plop down on the couch, as if at home.
Comfort sitting. But we also call in menspreading. You can look it up.
Hahahahahaha what the hell?
It's a dominance display.
There's room on either side for you
Taking it all in and his upper back hurts a bit. Lol
Where were you positioned in this picture and what about him made you invite him.
Clearly, confident and relaxed around you. Definitely open to further interation with you, and a hint of something I wouldnt quite call dominance. Its not the way he is sitting, but where he is sitting on the couch that is more interesting to me.
I am interested in further interaction, I am comfortable and open around you. I am the center of attention.
What do you think, Sherlock?
Wanker… tell him to F off
succ some dicc
"Body Language " is right up there with astrology. TOTAL BS. It is basically projecting your thoughts based on any preconceived ideas and experiences.
WHY NOT JUST ASK??
He might have back problems and is working on his sitting posture.
Make a move, yo will never know unless you do.
Look at me, I am the captain now
It means that he's tired of standing 😁 Seriously though he's comfortable around you and confident in himself. He's interested in spending more time with you.
