Fix body language

help to understand this body language?

30 year old man and a 26 year old woman.he knows she likes him.they are at the doctor´s waiting room where he works and start talking.it is anice conversation and she is sweet with him.he looks her in the eye all the time but meanwhile he bites his forefinger´s knuckle.what does such body language means?i guess it means he was nervous,probably because he likes her and wanted to tell her something or make sth and didn´t dare,but what is your opinion? (he is one of the doctors) they´ve talked lot of times and he never did it.he flirted and wanted to know if he had boyfriend though not asked directly

1. He's nervous and he has a hang nail.
2. Nervous, insecure, or just a bad habit of his.
3. he is very nervous, or was he at the doctors about a sore knuckle, why didnt you just ask him out, but i would find out why he was there first.lol
4. ya id say he was a little nervous
5. he's hungry maybe LOL
6. In love with you!
7. Maybe he's covering a wart he doesn't want her to see. It could be that since talking to her he's realised he's not that interested and is now wondering how to put her off. Is she a patient of his that could cause an ethical and legal problem. Not supposd to date/chat up patients. If things don't work out she could put in a serious complaint.
8. Well, if he is one of the Dr.s, they may have policy against dating patients, so he may be trying to keep from doing that.
9. he is drawing her attention to himself. women often play with thier earrings or hair. he may be wanting to ask her out, but is shy, so biting his finger is subconsciously stopping him. he may also be showing his masculinity [ big hands] and the biting may have a hidden sexual conotation
10. Thinking... pondering. Just as some people bite their nails when they are thinking.
11. People don't usually let thier guard down totally.... Go with the eye contact, love, thats your answer. He puts a hand up to his mouth to hide behind it because there is a certain amount of shyness there but he's brave with his eyes. Meet the eye contact and see how long it is before he looks away, if its a long time then go for it..... Good luck
12. I would take it as one of two things... First a nervous habit which you noted or Secondly it could be a sign of a very insecure Personality. Nervous habits show a minor level of insecurity but often they are just self moderators (things that help us deal with temporary stresses). Seeing as he held visual contact through out the conversation I think it is safe to say it was most likely a nervous habit - developed from a stressor that he will or will not express. Plus after a few conversations if it continues it is more than habit it could be a compulsion.
13. One of my thoughts re the biting of the knuckle, this is one of the 'methods used stop the self from saying what's wanting to be said,' as in 'putting a plug in the plughole.' I was surprised when i got to the bottom line and read that 'he was one of the doctors,' but then again, not too surprised. Contrary to popular belief (even that projected by themselves) Doctors are also human beings, and once outside of their professional realm, they can tend to become quite human. Oh yea. The 'White Coat,' I've seen it used like a Knights armour. It can be really useful - at keeping the problems out - and the problems in too. Sash.
