So you’re about to head out on a blind date with your aunt’s
neighbor’s friend’s son. Supposedly he’s good looking and has
a stable job. He votes, likes kids and even volunteers at your
local animal shelter, or so you’ve heard. Sounds like the
perfect guy!
The Date:
The two of you decide to go to a local Japanese restaurant
because you hear he has a special place in his heart for
California rolls. Before you show up, you spend three hours
mercilessly prepping your makeup, hair and outfit in the
bathroom. As you walk into the sushi joint, you see your date
and he gives you a warm smile, shakes your hand and looks you
in the eye. How can you read into his body language for the
remainder of the night to tell if you two match?
Eye Contact:
It’s often said that the eyes are the window into someone
else’s soul. This is partly true. People who are interested in
each other tend to make eye contact and hold it for a few
seconds. Don’t stare, though! Ever been in a situation where a
woman you were disinterested in stared you down, batting her
eyelashes? It makes you uneasy being scrutinized, especially
when you just don’t feel the same attraction.
Signs He Likes You:
Men tend to be more physical and often play fight and touch
their lady friends’ arms. If your date seems to touch your arm
during conversation, it could be a sign he’s interested. After
all, when you don’t like someone, you’re not going to grab
their arm. Men also lean forward in their seats when they are
enthralled in someone or something. You know how he sits at
the edge of his seat during a Giants game or The Terminator?
It’s because he likes it.
Same with you. One of the top signs he has feelings for you is
he calls you! Ok, so he might text you a lot to, but a guy
that wants to take things further with you will find any
excuse he can to give you a ring. And it won’t be after a
week.
Signs She Likes You:
She may play with her hair or primp herself in other ways to
get you to notice her. If she’s dressed to impress and keeps
playing with her brand-new skirt, chances are she wants you to
notice her. Women also tend to highlight their best physical
features. For example, if a girl loves the way her smile and
eyes look, she may lean forward and rest her chin in her
hands.
She may also ask you what you like to do in your free time, a
dead giveaway. She’s figuring out what potential dates lie
ahead for the both of you! Also, if she tells you she likes
your shirt or cologne, she’s probably interested. Women
usually compliment their girlfriends more than guys, so if she
extends a compliment, it’s a good sign.
Don’t Generalize:
Not all men and women are carbon copies of each other, so you
really can’t generalize patterns of attraction. An outgoing
guy who doesn’t like you “that way” may play fight with every
woman he meets. Similarly, just because she twirls her hair
around her finger, it may not mean she thinks you’re Mr.
Right. Maybe she just bought a new conditioner she’s in love
with.
One alternative to navigating the body language game is to
find love online. Reading dating online reviews can be a great
start in scoping out the right service for your personality.
6StarReviews.com reports that one dating service, True, even
lets daters fill out compatibility profiles so body language
can factor into your relationship after you meet someone you
already have a connection with.
This saves you embarrassment, heartbreak and from having to
ask your buddies what she meant when she said she never wants
to see you again. The next time you’re on a date, think of how
nice it would be if you already knew the person’s personality,
goals and pet peeves like the back of your hand.
