To Read Romantic Body Language
- by KissMeGoodnight.com
Being able to read body language can give
your clues as to whether someone has a romantic interest in
you or not. By accurately reading their body language
you will be able to determine whether or not the other person
is feeling
comfortable around you and eager to get to know you better.
Understanding body language is also significant because it
can ensure that you are not unintentionally sending the wrong
messages out to other people. Body language can often be both
subtle and subconscious but if you are aware of your body language
you can make a conscious effort to make sure that you are sending
an accurate message to others with your own body language.
The art of reading body language really isn’t difficult and
once you are familiar with a few guidelines you will come to
realize that understanding body language is very intuitive.
Correctly reading body language will ensure that you don’t
miss out on approaching potential partners who are sending
you signs that they are interested in pursuing a romance with
you.
How
close a person stands to you can be one of the most important
body language clues to whether someone is interested in you
romantically or not. Their proximity to you can be directly
proportional to their romantic interest in you. In other words
the closer they stand to you the more interested they are in
you romantically and the farther they stand away from you the
less interested they are in pursuing a romance with you. In
general the two foot rule applies. This means that if a person
does not get closer than two feet to you, they aren’t interested
in a romance with you. This distance is significant because
a length of two feet is approximately an arms length and standing
this far from you makes the other person feel safe that you
will not reach out and physically touch them. This subtle use
of body language to avoid closeness with you is a clear sign
of a lack of romantic interest. Conversely, if the person stands
closer to you and within arms reach they are not apprehensive
about being touched by you and are sending you a signal that
they are interested in you. The intimacy of standing close
to someone is a clear body language indication that you have
a romantic interest in that person.
Another body language clue that someone is interested in you
is that they begin to copy your own body language. This often
happens subconsciously but if you notice someone mimicking
your behaviors it is a clear sign that they are interested
in you. This mimicking behavior can begin almost immediately
and is very easy to read or pick up on. If you notice this
behavior, you may initially feel upset as though the other
person is mocking you by copying you but this is not the case.
In fact the behavior should be flattering because it is an
indication that the other person admires you and is trying
to become more like you in subtle ways. More often than not
the other person isn’t even aware of what they are doing but
there is a natural instinct to try to imitate those that we
admire to draw ourselves closer to them. Mimicking is pretty
easy to notice and it is also a clear body language indication
of romantic interest.
Body
positioning can also be a form of body language that
can either convey romantic interest or disinterest. When speaking
to someone, if their body and particularly their torso is turned
towards you and leaning closer to you this is an indication
of romantic interest. This body positioning leaves you unguarded
and vulnerable which indicates trust in the other person. If
this trust were not in existence you would not put yourself
in such a vulnerable position and would be more likely to stand
with your body turned slightly away from the other person and
leaning away from them. Standing in a way that positions your
body in an open position towards another person is a clear
example of body language that expresses a romantic interest.
Your eyes often send body language messages to those around
you letting them know whether or not you are interested in
them. When you have a romantic interest in someone
you make eye contact and also blink often. Both of these signals let
the other person know that you are attracted to them by conveying
the message that you are interested in what they have to say.
Avoiding eye contact lets a person know that you are not comfortable
with them and that you do not have a romantic interest in them.
If you are uncomfortable looking someone directly in the eye
and avoid eye contact, you are trying to send the message that
you are not interested in further contact with them. It’s often
said that the eyes are the windows to the soul and this may
be true as your eyes can certainly send quite a message.
Although body language is often subtle and subconscious it
can also send a clear message regarding romantic interest.
Perhaps the fact that body language is subconscious is what
also makes it such an accurate indication or romantic language.
Since body language is done without thought it allows the person
to send messages that they would be uncomfortable conveying
verbally.
