How to interpret romantic body language
A smile – If he smiles at you, take it as a good sign. It’s an even better sign if she gives you a hundred-watt smile—full set of teeth, and maybe gums, showing. This is more than a casual smile. It signals interest in you.
The eyes have it – But a smile is not enough to determine romantic interest. We have all, especially women, been taught to smile. It is a polite, hospitable social custom that, by itself, may only signal politeness. If the smile, however, is combined with certain “eye behaviors,” the chances are much greater that you have sparked a romantic interest in him. These eye behaviors are easy to identify. If she casts a lingering look at you—a glance that lasts more than a few seconds—she is sending you a romantic invitation. He is saying the same thing if he looks at you, looks away, then looks back at you. If she boldly stares at you, however, she may be telling you to “back off.” Proceed with caution. A touch speaks volumes – If he gives you these smile and eye signals, and you return them, you should be talking soon. Once you are physically close to each other, the next sign of romantic interest is a touch. This should never be a touch on a sexual body part; that’s much too bold. Instead, watch for her to lightly brush your arm as she reaches for her drink. If you’re sitting beside each other, and he turns toward you, watch for his knees to lightly graze yours. Maybe she’ll ask you what time it is while touching your wristwatch. Maybe he’ll pull a stray hair off of your sweater. Subtle touches like these are sure signs that the man or women is romantically interested in you.
Mirroring – By now, you should have no doubt that he is romantically interested in you. But just to make sure, watch for her to mimic your body movements and gestures. If you’re both sitting, lean forward in your chair toward him. He will lean forward toward you if he is romantically interested. Touch your face as you’re talking to her. If she is romantically interested in you, she should touch her face a few seconds later. Mirroring your movements and gestures, especially when combined with the other steps, are sure signs of romantic interest.
