When you think about the fact that around 93% of communication is not through what we say and the majority of this is body language how can you date online really? If you know how to understand someones body language you won’t pick up the wrong signals, or miss the blatant messages that your date really wants you
So how does this work with using an online dating site With the profile you are unable to see their facial expression or movements. Look at their pictures, stance and facial expression consider the way the profile has been written the type of terminology, words and phrases. Then llo for a site which uses anonymous cam to cam technology such as the playmates program, its a really good way to get to know your potential date better without risking getting too close to them
Its fortunate that body language can be really simple to understand, as it is probably the most important language that you can have in your repertoire. It's more than likely that you will recognise many different types of behaviour by considering how you, or those close to you behave. Think about it logically what you did what the circumstances and why you acted that way, when you are able to read the signals from those around you, you will get an awareness of the way they are thinking, but bear in mind they may also be judging you in the same way. Make sure you are sending the right messages back.
How about some examples; you have met online and are meeting for your first date and want to meet again and get to know them. But does he or she like you? You need to know if the other party is interested in you. Watch out for a few signs and you will be sure of weather the chemistry is there.
A mans body language:
When a guy is interested he will look to be to be standing more upright, he will be puffing out his chest and of course pulling in his stomach. You might notice him adjusting his clothes or hair, and generally preening himself just as you see when animals are attempting to attract a mate. You can be sure he is interested if he is hooking his thumbs in his belt. This is a subconscious way of highlighting his genital region pointing out that you will want what he has in there for reproduction. After all isn't that what attracting a mate is about at a basic level.
Look at the position of his body. If he turns his body towards you it shows that he is interested, particularly if either of his feet are pointing towards you.
If he is standing with his hands on his hips, he is appearing to make himself bigger and ready to take things further.
The eyes are a great giveaway and are often referred to as the ‘window to the soul’. When someone is holding their gaze, even for a fraction of a second longer than is necessary, especially when combined with dilated pupils, it is a sure sign that you are in luck! A man’s intimate gaze is generally quite obvious. If his eye movements follow a triangle shaped pattern (that is eye to eye, down to the mouth, the rest of the body, and then back up to the eyes again) is another giveaway that he likes you.
Female body language:
Women generally display similar preening and grooming characteristics to men, but there are other signals to look out for which show that they are expressing in interest in the person they’re talking to.
One such sign is the ‘head toss’, this can be done by women with both long and short hair and is used to capture someone’s attention by revealing their neck. Exposed wrists can also be a sign of interest, as can showing the palms of her hands while talking to you. An open palm is often seen as a sign of openness and sincerity.
As with male body language, if her foot or knee is pointing towards you (especially if her legs are crossed) this gives a clear sign of interest. Crossed legs are also seen as being a relaxed informal position. If she lets the shoe from her top leg slip off her foot and then starts playing with it – this is often seen as a sign of interest.
Don’t forget to look out for the eyes, as women are excellent at using the intimate gaze – that is holding your gaze for a moment longer than normal, and following the triangle formation. (Eye to eye, down to the mouth, followed by the rest of the body and then back up to the eyes again). This movement is known as ‘eyeing someone up’.
Another good sign of attraction is if she is coiling her hair around her finger and tilting her head whilst talking to you. And don’t forget to look out for that warm natural smile!
Making the first move
Once you are getting the message that your partner may be interested, and you want some further feedback, it is time to use a technique called ‘excuse touching’. This is non threatening, non sexual behaviour that basically gives you an excuse to touch your partner and shows that you interested, and is a great way to give your partner the opportunity to respond. Excuse touching can be anything from touching their arm whilst talking, to letting your hands touch. If your partner feels the same way, they will often find similar excuses to touch you, or prolonging your touch.
If your partner is not responding to your advances, be aware that this probably means that they are not interested in taking things further. Likewise, if you are interested in the person that is excuse touching you, make sure that you respond – otherwise they may think you are not interested and will back off. You don’t want to miss out on a good opportunity!
