Body Language

Body Language can tell us a lot about how someone is feeling.  

For instance, if you see someone with their arms crossed, that could mean that they are feeling a bit closed off at the moment. If you see someone rolling their eyes, that could mean that they are frustrated or put off by something around them. (Or they're listening to Donald Trump ramble on about immigration) Most body language is quite self explanatory and is easy to read. 

However, there is one specific type of body language that everyone seems to have a hard time reading correctly. That body language is the body language that signals that someone is attracted to you. 

Trying to figure out if someone is flirting with you is like trying to figure out which way the wind is blowing. You can lick your finger and stick it in the air, but let's be honest, you have no idea if the wind is coming from the North, South, East or West. It's the same with dating.

 'Well they're being really nice and they seem to like me, but what if they're just really friendly?' 

Well here are some things that will help you diagnose your current relationship. 

(Side note: If you're reading this and thinking, 'hmm... I do that all the time to a specific person', perhaps you should dig a little deeper into your current feelings towards whomever this person may be)

Well there are many things that people will do when they find another person 'attractive.' A big one for guys is that they will sit up straighter and puff out there chest a little bit. Guys are sort of like animals, they want to look as big and manly as they possibly can. It goes all the way back to those theories you read about in third grade about humans coming from apes. I can neither support or deny that theory, but I can tell you this. When a male gorilla wants to attract a female gorilla he stands up and looks as tall and as big as possible in order for her to see him as a first choice partner.When a human male is attracted to a female he will very    subtly sit up straighter to appear taller. See any similarities?  

While men try to point out their masculine features, women try to pull men's attention to their more feminine features, such as their cleavage, their hair, their legs, and even their neck. 

Girls will either play with their hair or cross their legs, or sometimes they will tilt their heads in order for the male to notice their delicate neck.  

However, not every sign is as hard to read and a subtle head tilt. Some of it just requires a little attention to detail. 

Do they look you in the eye when you're speaking? 

Do they laugh at your jokes when no one else does? 

Do they randomly touch your shoulder or arm?

 Does she giggle and fidget with what she's wearing?

 Does he fix his clothes and hair constantly when he's around you? 

Most of the time, if there's a mutual attraction you will be able to tell almost immediately. 

Here's a weird thing to look out for! Wrists! Most people keep their wrists tucked towards them as a sign of vulnerability control. Schizophrenic people will walk with their wrists and palms faced completely away from people just for that little bit of extra protection. So, you will notice once you get to know someone better and they start trusting you a little bit more they will start showing you more glimpses of their wrists.   

Watch where their feet are pointed! Studies have shown that you can tell what a person is attracted to by which way their feet are pointed. If they are directly pointed to you that means that they are fully engaged into what you are saying or doing! 

Watch their eyes! If a mans pupils are dilated that is a great sign that he is attracted and interested in what he is currently looking at. Same goes with girls! 

Watch their movements! If they are mirroring you, that is another sign that they like you!

Watch girls lips! When girls are attracted to you they will try to pull your attention to what they want you to notice! If they bite their lips or touch their mouths a lot they might be secretly asking for you to kiss them. (BUT MAKE SURE IT NOT JUST A COINCIDENCE! YOU JUST MIGHT GET PUNCHED IN THE JAW IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL.)
