When it comes to dating, body language plays an important role. Even if we\u2019re not consciously aware of it, the way someone sits, stands, holds their drink, or grabs for our hand can tell us a lot about how someone\u2019s feel and what direction a conversation is going. When you\u2019re dating a woman\u2014or want to be dating a specific woman\u2014paying attention to her body language will help you learn to be attuned to how she\u2019s reacting to you and the situation. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it can be tough to decipher someone\u2019s text messages, dating app responses, or even the intention behind their words in person, body language is easier to work with if you know what you\u2019e looking for. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With women, there are a few key things to check for. Starting with facial expressions and working your way down to physical reactions\u2014some reflexes, some intentional\u2014paying attention to your surroundings and how her body is responding to something you do or say can give you a lot of insight. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/b>First of all, remember to maintain eye contact when you\u2019re speaking with a woman, especially when she\u2019s talking. Not only is it the kind thing to do (it shows the person that you\u2019re really listening to them) it will help you decide how investing in the date or conversation she truly is. While it\u2019s a fine balance (you do not want to stare a woman down and make her uncomfortable) ultimately, maintaining eye contact is really vital. While you have eye contact, look for the following things. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is she looking back at you?
\n<\/b>While some women (and all people) can be naturally shy, especially on a date, if she\u2019s making a conscious effort to meet your eyes and hold eye contact, that\u2019s a great sign that she\u2019s interested in you. If she keeps looking away, or even more telling, rolling her eyes or actively looking away from you, she may be feeling uncomfortable or bored. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is she playing with her hair frequently?<\/b>
\n<\/b>Again, it\u2019s up to you to decipher if this is a good thing or not. Is she twirling her hair lightly while looking you in the eye? Great, that\u2019s a super flirtatious move. But if she\u2019s running her fingers through her hair while looking away, or while seeming nervous, or while passively participating in the conversation, it\u2019s not likely that she\u2019s interested. In fact, she may be uncomfortable. Change the subject and try to make her feel at ease. If it gets to the point where you start feeling uncomfortable because she is, ask her if she\u2019s okay or if she would like to wrap things up. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does she look at your lips? <\/b>
\n<\/span>While it\u2019s ill-advised to stare directly at her lips throughout the entire date, lips can tell you a lot about how someone is feeling. Is she looking at your lips a lot while you speak? Has she been casually licking her own lips while you talk? Does she keep parting her lips? Or pouting them? Parting and pouting lips is a natural reflex (and sometimes an intentional one) that can mean she\u2019s thinking about kissing your lips. But if her lips are stiff and straight, chances are she\u2019s not feeling it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does she laugh with her full body?<\/b>
\n<\/span>Giggling is cute, of course, but when she laughs at something you say, whether in jest or genuinely, pay attention to how much she\u2019s laughing. Laughter is as easy to fake as anything else, but it\u2019s nearly impossible to fake full body laughter. If your date or the woman you\u2019re interested in laughs with her full body\u2014eyes shining, lips parted broadly, shoulders shaking\u2014chances are, she\u2019s into you. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is her body turned toward yours? <\/b>
\n<\/span>Position is everything. If a woman is fully disinterested in talking to you, she will not turn her body toward you. This is true on the bus or subway, in a car you\u2019re are sharing on the way to work, or on a date. If she doesn\u2019t like you and doesn\u2019t want to engage with you, her body will not be near your body, or even facing in the same direction. If she\u2019s into you, it absolutely will be. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are her arms open? <\/b>
\n<\/span>The same is true for her arms. If she seems relaxed and comfortable, her arms will be at her side, or on the table, or brushing against yours. If she doesn\u2019t want to be near you or doesn\u2019t want to engage with you, she will likely have her arms folded and her shoulders tensed. Pay attention. If she\u2019s uncomfortable, you don\u2019t want to continue to make her so. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is she relaxed? <\/b>
\n<\/span>Similar to men, or any gender, it\u2019s easy to tell if someone feels at ease around another person. If the woman you have your eye on is chill and comfortable, you will be able to tell. Has she \u201clet her hair down,\u201d either literally or hypothetically? Are her arms relaxed, her shoulders low, her legs not two stiff logs of discomfort? Is she engaging with you? Smiling? Looking you in the eye? It\u2019s not tough to figure out if someone is comfortable, and if she\u2019s relaxed, chances are she\u2019s having a nice time. If she\u2019s having a nice time, it may be a great sign for future dates to come. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Body language is key for any situation. Whether at party, on the train, at a bar, or on a first date, you can tell a lot by reading the body language of a woman. Pay attention to the aforementioned notes and you\u2019ll be able to decide whether or not your date is feeling it or not. Be aware of her feelings by paying attention to her body language and listening to her words. She will appreciate it, and appreciate you too. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
