Men Body Language

Why is body language important when dating?

Body language is the most important form of communication when dating or flirting. Less than 15% of the message you communicate is spoken. Over 50% of what you say to women is done through your body language. Yes guys, you say more to women through body language than the words you speak!When flirting, body language becomes even more important. So if you don't know how to read body language, you're missing out on what's really going on. If you aren't successful at attracting women or getting dates, it's probably because you don't use and understand body language. Women naturally understand body language and use it all of the time. Unfortunately most guys don't seem to understand body language very well. If you want to attract women, you need to learn to read body language and send out the correct signals through your own body language.

Basic body language - Pointing

When a woman is interested in you she will begin to face or point in your direction. This may be done with her foot, leg or whole body. While standing, she will face her body in your direction and probably point her foot toward you. So if her foot is pointed to the guy standing next to you, you're out of luck! The shoulder point is also important and is used together with the upper body point. If she looks at you over her shoulder that's pointed in your direction, don't hesitate, just make your move immediately. Leaning toward you is also an excellent sign.

Body language when sitting

When sitting the body, feet or knees can be used. Women often sit with one foot tucked up under the bum and then point with that knee. A knee point is an excellent sign as this exposes her thigh to you and she would only do this if very interested. Women also point using the leg cross. They sit with one leg crossed over the other, just like their mothers taught them, but then point their knees toward you saying "Don't worry what Mother said, I'm keen on you." This is great body language for any guy.

Body language - Basic female signals of interest

The following are all signals that tell you she is interested:

• The eyebrow flash - a quick raising of the eyebrow on first meeting your eye shows interest. Return with a slightly prolonged eyebrow raise.

• Parting her lips - if she likes you, her lips will part when your eyes first meet

• Licking her lips - any tongue movement during the lip parting is a give-away

• Flaring nostrils - her nostrils will flare and eyes will widen

• When a woman is aroused by you, she could do all or any of the following: push out her chest; toss back her head and hair; flushed cheeks; dilated pupils

• Smiling at you while you aren't actually talking to her, especially with her teeth exposed

• Tossing back her head or hair and then looking or smiling at you

• Thrusting her foot in and out of her shoe - requires no explanation!

• Exposing her wrists, palms and insides of arms in your direction

• Fondling an object or preening her hair or clothing. This must be in reaction to something you did or said (like a compliment or a special look)

• While you are talking, she will laugh or giggle at things you say

• Standing with her legs slightly wider apart than normal
