Fix body language

What does this body language mean?

Whenever i am standing talking to my boyfriend and for example he is stood next to me he will face me and have his arm above my head and his body positioned leaning over me, when we were standing the other day he was stood right in front of me like sorrounding me, what does his body language mean? i was just wondering because my friends have also commented on how he is always leaning over me!

1. sounds a little bit that he either loves you a lot and always wants to be right with you or he wants to be in control over you.
2. please refer to the other question for my answer
3. he feels dominate perfect time to give him a long hard once over - belittling, withering look should be ok
4. if your comfortable with it that ok...hes like being over protective...and thats cute..if you like it
5. This is called..."Invading your private space"?...he probably wont stop until he's got inside you...Be warned!...
6. Could be a sign of wanting to protect you. Also possible it means he wants to dominate you, or be the one in control. Standing right in front of you is quite confrontational. 90% of our communication is non-verbal (ie body language or hand gestures) and he may be unaware of what he was doing. How did you feel at the time? Did you feel intimidated? What was his tone of voice like? Was he saying anything to back up these ideas?
7. Very protective or very controlling.
8. The fact that he is invading your personal space suggests he wants to be in control of that,,It's not a normal stance to take when you are talking to someone. Beat him by not losing eye contact with him when you are talking. Make him be the first to look away from you sounds a bit intimidating to me.
9. It means that he is dominating you, or wants to dominate and control you. Also he is keeping you just for himself, like he wants to own you and not allow you to associate with other people. If this fits, then you might want to question if this is the type of relationship you want. If you like him enough that you want to stay, but you don't want to be dominated and controlled, you will need to stand up for yourself and express yourself openly. A good start would be letting him know what you don't like about his posture and positioning around you, and what you want him to do differently. This may either improve the relationship or sink it, so be prepared if you plan to confront him.
10. He's protective of you and very much in love - you lucky girl!
11. That's domination pure and simple. Sounds messed up to me. I'd walk away.
12. Definitely a power thing-he is showing you and other people that he is in control of you and you are his property. Run.
