Body Language - An Influential Means of Expression

There is no mistaking a distinct signal that comes from deliberate body language. Body language speaks the truth and sends an unmistakable message without the need to utter any comment.

From the day we are born body language plays a significant factor in communicating our most basic requirements. A one month old baby instinctively knows that the way to its Mothers heart is through her eyes. The baby also knows that when it is hungry, crying is used as communicating this message.

While we can control our body language to a fair degree, one thing we can't control is our pupils - yes, one of the most subtle signs that someone is attracted to you is in the eyes. Nancy Fagin writes on the BBW Magazine website: "One of the obvious signs of physiological attraction is enlarged pupils. There are two main factors that cause our pupils to dilate, attraction and dim light. To confirm whether you think someone's eyes are dilating, try and do some subtle comparisons with others in the same room."

Before all the modern day conveniences of communicating such as social networking, Twitter and online dating sites, real time face to face forms of expressions were all we knew. 30 years ago, the most common way to determine mutual attraction was partly due to body language, nowadays, dating and meeting new people has become all too easy thanks to technology.

Body language certainly goes beyond the eyes for you to be able determine attraction. Who would have ever thought that feet would play such a role in the land of love and romance! Feet stare too so if the person you are talking to is standing with their feet aiming at you, they have you well and truly in their sights.

Regardless of the body part, every part of our body will subconsciously send out a signal that will often determine whether we are attracted to someone or not. If something points at another person, whether it be our legs or feet, there is a certain level of interest being assessed.

While body language comes in subtle variations, there are also obvious signs that cannot be mistaken. If you are trying to send a distinct message to someone but you're not quite ready to come out and say it, try talking to them facing your whole body towards them with your shoulders lining the other person up. If you notice they are reciprocating the body language then it's as good as them telling you out loud "c'mon, hurry up and ask me out."

When someone feels compelled to subconsciously copy our body language it's a sure bet that they are feeling very comfortable around you and do in fact like you. This tell tale sign of mirroring someone can be used as a positive signal both in romance and in the business world.

Touch is another big cue. If the person finds any excuse to touch you (like removing a bit of lint from your clothing) this is a sign that they're keen. Touch is used by singles in the flirting stakes to communicate interest. So learn to read the signs...from top to toe, our bodies always tell the truth.
