Body Language Clues While Dating
|
 Understanding non verbal signals can stop you from wondering if your date is interested in you or not.
The dating game can be long and full of anxiety. You start doubting yourself and ceaselessly question the other person's intentions. Is this man really interested in me or is he just being polite? What it would take to attract the attention of that gorgeous woman in the crowded party? And worst of all, when you've been on more than one date, but are not sure what to make of this relationship.
Whether you're at a gathering trying to hook up with someone interesting, on a first date, or the arranged marriage tea meeting, understanding body language can give you the upper hand. The way we move, our posture, our gestures while speaking and our facial expressions have a tremendous amount of influence on how we project ourselves. Non verbal communication could make or break that first date, no matter how effective your verbal skills are. Speech and diction come second only after body signals that we send out to others.
Did you know that less than 10% of our communication depends on what we are actually saying? A larger percentage depends on voice modulation, speed of speech and diction. Experts believe that almost 50% of our impression on others is through body language.
Body Language clues while dating:
- Posture: Its human instinct to sit up straight or stand upright as soon as we see someone attractive approaching us - male or female. We tend to stand in such a manner that our body looks its very best. Additionally, if he leans towards you while talking and if the body faces your body, he's definitely interested. If her legs are crossed while sitting, and the upper knee points in your direction, it's a clue she's tuned in. If you're curious about how someone feels about you, lean backwards and see if they unintentionally lean forward in.
- Touching the hair: Some of us do it subconsciously when we're nervous, but regardless of that; both men and women tend to touch their hair when they are in conversation with one they are attracted to. It could range from playing with a curl, straightening the hair or just randomly running a hand through the hair.
- Eye movements: When we are in a platonic conversation or a business conversation, our eyes stay around the eyes and nose. However, in conversation with someone we desire, the eyes tend to focus more on their mouth. They even take the liberty of the occasional gaze down the face. So, if he's looking at your mouth while you speak, he's obviously got more on his mind!
- Standing out: If a person stands slightly away from his/her group of friends; then he / she is probably trying to get noticed. This would be especially true if their toes are pointed towards you. If not, check whose direction their toes are pointed towards, since that's where the attention is. Another way of standing out is by making a spectacle of himself or herself in order to get noticed.
- Raised eyebrows: There is an unconscious raising of the eyebrows for only a fraction of a second when we meet someone we are attracted to. However, the raised eyebrows could also appear often whilst we are around this person. This unconscious move can tell you their intentions.
- Increased blinking: When the human eye likes what it sees, the pupil size increases and so does the blinking rate. A person who blinks more while talking to you or has visibly dilated pupils is probably very interested in you.
- Straightening the clothes: If he straightens his tie or she smoothens out her skirt, that's a clue. It's a subconscious gesture because the mind is thinking that it is important to look good for this person. It could certainly be nervousness but the manner in which it is done will tell you more.
- Glancing around: If your subject of interest is looking around the room constantly or frequently glancing at the watch, please take your clue. Don't ignore the preoccupation written all over your date's face, it's a clear case of boredom or disinterest.
- Crossing the arms: Crossing the arms in front of the chest indicates that the person is not interested. He / she is closed to all your physical and mental gestures as well. While this gesture shows defensiveness in general, it could be read as leave me alone.
The body speaks volumes where words can be awkward. It sends out messages that are mostly on the subconscious level and normally even picked up by the other person on a subconscious level. Understanding simultaneous non-verbal gestures on the first date could be the key to a long-term relationship.
