Reading body language
Back to the Table of Contents
Doesn't matter whether she is interested in you, you'll make her interested
eventually anyway:) But look for these signs to show you whether you're already
making progress:) It's also fun to look for these signs as a by-stander, either
in everyday situations or for example in a bar - when the guy earnestly believes
he is being sooo smooth but the woman he is talking to isn't displaying any of
the signs presented below, you can't help but have a chuckle about it:)
Her lips:
- Big smiles with upper and lower teeth showing with a relaxed face.
- Biting of the lips or showing of the tongue, licking her lips or
touching of her front teeth.
- She wets her lips, some women use only a single-lip lick, wetting the
upper or lower lip, while others run the tongue around the entire lip area.
- She puts her fingernail between her teeth.
- She protrudes her lips and thrust her breasts forward.
Her eyes:
- She gazes in your eyes with deep interest and her pupils are dilated.
- She raises both eyebrows exaggeratedly for a couple of seconds, this is
often combined with a smile and some eye contact.
- She winks at you while talking to you or winks at you from a distance.
- While talking to you, she blinks more than usual, fluttering her
eyelashes.
- Eyebrows raised and then lowered, then a smile indicates interest in
you.
Her hair:
- She pushes her fingers through her hair. This can be one hand movement
or more of a stroking motion.
- She twirls her hair around her fingers while she is looking at you.
- She is throwing her hair back off her shoulders.
Her clothing:
- If she is wearing clothes that show her nipples underneath and you
notice they are getting perky and erect.
- The hem goes up to expose a little more leg.
- She is fixing, patting or smoothing her outfit to make herself look
better.
While she is seated:
- She moves in time to the music, with her eyes on you.
- She starts sitting straight up and her muscles appear to be firm.
- She is sitting with her legs open.
- She sits with her legs crossed in a manner to reveal her thigh.
- Her legs are rubbing against each other.
- Her legs are rubbing against the leg of the table.
- Her crossed leg is pointed towards you or if that same leg is rocking
back and forth towards you.
Her hands:
- She exposes the palms of her hand facing you.
- While talking to you, she rests an elbow in the palm of one hand, while
holding out her other hand, palm up.
- She rubs her wrists up and down.
- She sits with one hand touching one of her breasts.
- She rubs her chin or touches her cheek. This indicates that she's
thinking about you and her relating in some way:)
- She is fondling keys, sliding hands up and down a glass, playing with
toys or other things on the table.
- She plays with her jewellery, especially with stroking and pulling
motions.
- She touches your arm, shoulder, thigh, or hand while talking to you
(in case you already haven't started kino yourself, dumbass:).
- She is pretending to look at her watch as you pass her.
Her voice
- She raises or lowers the volume of her voice to match yours.
- She speeds up or slows down her speaking to match yours.
- She laughs in unison with you.
- In a crowd she speaks only to you and focuses all of her undivided
attention on you.
Micellaneous:
- She mirrors your body language and body positions.
- Her skin tone becomes red while being around you.
- She blows smoke straight out from between her lips and toward you.
- She leans over and speaks into her friend's ear, just like in junior
high school.
- She is standing with her head cocked slightly at an angle, one foot
behind the other, hips slightly thrust forward.
- At a party - every once in a while she seems to appear out of nowhere
in your vicinity and if you move to another spot, soon she appears out of
nowhere again, you catch her glancing in your general direction (actually,
glancing at YOU dummy!:), she bumps into you… accidentally, touches you…
accidentally etc:)
When talking to a girl, these are some of the more important signs to watch
for:
- Can you keep conversation going with her?
- Does she react well to kino?
- Does she touch you?
- Does she laugh?
Now I don't have to explain what the answer "yes" to these questions means, do
I:)
From "Sweep women off their feet...": "All these signs usually tell you that the
girl is captivated by your charms. But before you get there, chances are that
her body language changes as the discussion progresses. Make sure that you watch
her closely and as soon as you get a sign that should be an indication that you
are on the right track, keep going in that direction. If the opposite happens,
just change the subject and see what happens."
Update. The really gorgeous and beautiful girls
however very seldom get around to displaying the signs of interest described
above. They simply don't have to, as they are used to getting some attention
already long before that. With such girls you have to be on a lookout for the
initial and thus much more subtle signs of interest. One example of this would
be a gorgeous girl simply looking at your face. Obviously people tend to look at
what or whom they like to look at. But whereas an average girl first just looks
at your face and then progresses into the more overt signs of interest described
above, looking at your face from time to time might be the only sign of interest
you'll ever get from the most beautiful of girls.
So if you think you're not getting any signs of interest from beautiful girls -
you are, but you just can't see them well enough yet.
Update. Don Steele: "Here are signs of interest
sent from across the room. Most are applicable to both sexes. The sequence of
the list approximates the courtship sequence.

In Summary. Frequency of eye contact, the more the better. Amount of time she,
or he, holds your gaze, the longer the better. How she breaks off eye contact,
down before away is great! Shine of the eyes, the brighter the better. Direction
of body, toward you, good, away, bad. Overall posture, erect and alert are good.
Tilt of head, vertical is bad, increased tilt is great. Where the drink is held,
high in front as a barrier, that's bad. Hand activity, clenched, squeezing or
pinching is bad, open, caressing or stroking is great.
Most of us are slightly afraid as well as somewhat excited in settings where
social interaction is expected and required. So, most people do not sit or stand
in an open posture. But, during courtship, the more open the other person's
posture is, the more open that person is to you and your advances. And, the more
open you are, the more likely the other person is to open up to you. First
Conversation Signals. Men, pay attention to all the ways she communicates during
the first few minutes as you talk with her.

In social settings, most of us start out in a closed, defensive
posture because we're a bit apprehensive. A closed posture feels safe. When the
person you are talking with shifts to a more open posture, it signifies trust
and comfort. That person is, literally, opening up to you and what you have to
offer.
It takes courage to open up to the other person. If you go first,
she, or he, will usually follow your move from closed to slightly
more open. Open up in, slow, gradual shifts of posture.
