The world of dating can be both confusing and frustrating. Even though there are more than 6 billion people on this earth, finding the right one can seem impossible to find at times. But relax, the tips below will help you to discover and decode his body language, as well as show you how to give off the right signals. The first few dates with a new mate can be confusing, but not anymore!
The Basics
First of all, realize that with many men, it’s not what he says, but what he does that is important. Many men can use words insincerely and end up confusing their future mate, so stay focused on his actions, rather than his charming words. With dating and first impressions, it's not what we say, but what we don't say that shows how we feel about the person. If the body language doesn't match someone's words, the body language is the one to pay attention to.
Key signs to look for from your date are:
1. Unlike what you have heard before, If their arms are crossed it doesn’t mean their uninterested, it might just be how they are comfortable. Try not to overanalyze their behavior.
2. A head tilt shows they are interested in what you are saying, and want to hear more.
3. When hand gesturing, open palms equal sincerity (they are showing you they have nothing to hide).
4. Consistent eye contact.
Negative Gestures:
1. Hands placed in pockets and stiff posture.
2. Wrinkling their nose or putting their hand on the back of their neck over and over.
3. Crossing their arms and legs in the opposite direction of you.
4. The shoulder shrug is a good lie detector (when a guy does this through the conversation, make sure to catch on to it).
5. Keep an eye out for natural microexpressions, as we cannot control these, and often they are the best sign of what the person is really feeling. These tiny facial expressions last less than a quarter of a second but are a good way of picking up on someone's true intentions. A few of these are: surprise, fear, disgust, happiness, and contempt.
** Quick tip on body language: If a guy is nodding yes or no while he is telling you something, catch on to that. Often times when men lie they connect the head nod as the opposite of what they are telling you.
**Remember, the eyes say it all, if someone is smiling with their mouth, that doesn’t matter, look at the eyes to see if it is sincere.
