What is when a guy lingers before leaving?

When a guy lingers before leaving, it can mean different things depending on the situation.

If he is a friend or someone you know well, he may be enjoying your company and doesn't want to leave yet. He may feel comfortable around you and is prolonging the conversation to spend more time with you.

If it's a guy you're interested in romantically, lingering can be a sign that he is interested in you. He may be trying to find an opportunity to ask you out or make a move. It can also indicate that he is enjoying the conversation and wants to continue getting to know you.

However, it's important to note that some guys may linger because they are unsure how to leave or feel obligated to stay longer. It's important to read the situation and body language to determine if the guy genuinely wants to stay or is just being polite.
