subject: How To Read Your Date's Body Language? [print this page] It's the body language that does 70% of communication. Dating is an important occasion where body language plays an important role giving a hint your date's romantic interest in you. Body language explicitly reveals your date's level of comfort and whether there is any excitement in knowing you more. You need to master the art of this extra-linguistic facility for better understanding of your date. The closer you stand to a person, the easier for you to get those important clues.
However, things do not seem so cut and dried. No matter what you feel from the audible clues, how sure you are about your date's attraction, and how much good time you have in date's company - all these could be deceptive at times. People do not speak the whole truth in most cases. Therefore it would be wise to rely on the subtle non verbal communication or 'body language' in particular as bodies not lie and the clues are totally involuntary.
Proximity: The closeness of your date can clearly reveal his or her's emotional interest in you. The closer the date stands they are attracted in you and farther they stand the lesser their prospect of romance and love relationship. You can make your date feel nice and safe and assure that you will not reach out and touch him or her by maintaining a significant distance of about an arms length. Holding hands is a great sign.
Look deep down into the eyes: Is your date meeting your gaze making eye contact? Try to gauge whether the contact is friendly, passionate or creepy. If your date avoid eye contact, or dart around the room, you can be certain that your companion doesn't enjoy your company, and is looking for an escape, or for a better prospect.
Posture: Observe whether your date show signs of good yet comfortable posture. A date who's sitting up shows his attentiveness while a slouched date probably isn't having a good time. Note if your date has his or her palms up as it indicates friendly warmth.
Check the manner of talk: Does your date lean towards you when you talk or have they touched you if not long but for a fraction of second? No matter how brief the touch it is a positive sign showing that they are attracted to you. On the contrary if they jerk away when touched then it is a pretty negative reaction. If your date nods during conversation it indicates your words are being heard.
Besides, there are numerous visual clues that are absolutely involuntary, like open arms meaning "I am open" and attracted to you, or crossed arms reveals that "I am closed off, stay away keep your distance". If your date is looking at your lips then this is a sure sign they want you to kiss them.
Knowing the clues can give you a massive advantage in the dating game. Master the art of extra linguistic communication and gain the upper hand.
