Discover the secrets of body language to help you on your next date!<\/h2>\n

How we position ourselves, smile, laugh, talk and interact on a first date speaks volumes about what we’re thinking. Here’s how to spot some potential signs, based on body language, that he or she is already thinking about a second date.<\/p>\n

Dating body language explained<\/h2>\n

Hands<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look out for your date twirling their hair, running their hands through their fringe or adjusting their clothes. <\/p>\n

These subconscious hand movements are preening gestures, and they scream \u2018I want to look good for you\u2019 \u2013 especially when teamed with a playful smile. Repetitive hair playing or finger tapping also suggests nervousness \u2013 which is natural if your date is really hoping to impress you, but be careful of head-scratching and a frown, which indicate frustration, confusion or boredom.<\/p>\n

Eyes<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Those of you in tune with your body language will know that eye contact is the first giveaway of attraction. <\/p>\n

If you find your date looking at you for more than five seconds at a time, he or she is giving you their undivided attention \u2013 ultimately, they\u2019re really, really interested. When we first see someone we\u2019re attracted to, our eyebrows rise and fall \u2013 lasting less than a fifth of a second, it\u2019s an easy-to-miss indicator of instant attraction. <\/p>\n

The rise of the brow pulls the eyes open, making the eyes look wide, bright and inviting. If you notice his or her brow remaining slightly raised while you\u2019re talking, your captivating presence is pulling them in and they just can\u2019t get enough. <\/p>\n

Mouth<\/strong> <\/p>\n

It\u2019s an obvious one, but when we\u2019re nervous we often forget to smile. Smiling shows that you\u2019re a friendly, open, approachable person \u2013 and it\u2019s infectious, particularly if there\u2019s an attraction between the two of you. <\/p>\n

We often mirror the movements and expressions of someone we\u2019re attracted to so if you find yourself smiling while you\u2019re telling a funny story, watch your date\u2019s face to see if they follow suit. <\/p>\n

A slight parting of the lips is recognised unconsciously as an indicator of sexual interest \u2013 watch the line of his or her gaze while you\u2019re talking to see if it flickers down to your mouth. If yes, they could be thinking about kissing you. <\/p>\n

Body<\/strong> <\/p>\n

When we\u2019re sat with someone we\u2019re interested in, we angle our entire upper bodies to face them. If your date leans forward with his or her chest, head and shoulders, they\u2019re doing it to show they\u2019re interested in only you. No one else will be stealing your attention \u2013 it\u2019s all theirs! If they\u2019re really interested, they\u2019ll perch on the edge of their seat to get closer \u2013 and if they cross their legs, the top leg will point in your direction.<\/p>\n

To seem confident and sure, maintain good, straight posture. If you slump in your chair and lean back, you\u2019ll seem disinterested and nervous \u2013 so if you\u2019re dressed to impress, follow suit by letting your body language showcase your sassy, confident self. Avoid crossing your arms, too; it signals defensiveness, making you seem closed off or uncomfortable. When we feel insecure about a part of our bodies we often subconsciously hide it with our hands \u2013 have you ever noticed a friend covering their mouth when they laugh? <\/p>\n

Crossed legs tell the same story \u2013 people will often stand with one leg crossed across the other when they\u2019re in a group of people they don\u2019t\u2019 know well. When we feel threatened, we often let one arm fall across the body to hold the opposite elbow \u2013 like a self-hug, it reveals insecurity, as if you\u2019re comforting yourself with a hug. To exude confidence, keep your body language open.<\/p>\n
