How To Read Body Language While Dating... by rodeo0070(m): 3:57pm On Oct 23, 2012 |
Women display more body language signals than men do, but both sexes send important subconscious messages through their posture, the ways in which they move and their physical actions. You can tell whether the other person cares about you or whether she is withdrawn, angry or having other negative feelings by becoming aware of body language signals commonly used during dating. FEMALE BODY LANGUAGE Step 1 Watch how a woman uses her legs, Rodrigues advises. She is receptive if they are in an open position or if she crosses and uncrosses them or makes gestures, such as stroking her thigh. Entwined legs and tight muscles signal that she is closed off. Leg bouncing or toe tapping can indicate impatience or annoyance. Step 2 Observe her overall posture to get a sense of whether the woman is interested. If she is, she will display openness with a relaxed smile and open arms. GreatDateGuide.com states that she may also lean forward a bit. Step 3 Look for gestures that expose skin or touch hair. Rodrigues explains that these activities are often a form of flirting. Lip licking is also flirtatious body language, and GreatDateGuide.com states that hair tossing is a way to flirt and to attract attention. Step 4 Listen to the tone of the woman's voice. Body language can be revealed when she speaks, GreatDateGuide.com explains. Her voice will often go up in pitch when she is interested in her partner, and she may laugh more loudly and often. MALE BODY LANGUAGE Step 1 Look for relaxed body language signals, such as a broad smile that shows a man's teeth and gums or slouched shoulders. An open smile means he really cares about you, according to Cosmopolitan magazine (Cosmo), and relaxed shoulders often indicate a desire to hug or to hold you. Step 2 Watch how he uses his hands. Cosmo advises that hand gestures can tell you a lot about a man. For example, he may be trying to control himself or what he is saying if he sits on them. Extending his palms is a signal of openness, while tapping his fingers or fidgeting with his hands can mean he is not being honest. Step 3 Observe the way he gazes at you. Eye contact should be normal and comfortable. Averted eyes can show dishonesty, Cosmo explains, while holding a direct gaze for too long can mean he is a player and is trying to manipulate you. He is probably being truthful if his eyes go up and to the right when you ask a question, while Cosmo warns that looking left can signal a lie. Step 4 Note any signs of tension, such as a tight body posture, which can indicate nervousness. Cosmo states that a tight jaw often means a man is angry and fuming over something. TIPS AND WARNINGS Body language forms up to 80 percent of a person's communication, according to GreatDateGuide.com. Watch your partner's body language to get a better feel for his interest level and feelings if he is not communicating verbally. SOURCE: www.livestrong.com/article/81602-read-body-language-dating/ |
