As much as we try to hide our true feelings for someone else in the beginning stages of a relationship, the fact remains that your physical body language will always offer hints as to how you are feeling. It’s just the way we are wired, and even, those who are best at bottling up emotions will find themselves gazing at their love or smiling for no good reason at all.
Understanding body language is the key to unlocking the truth about how that guy or girl feels about you. Words are empty; it’s all about the following subtle clues:
Proximity
If your date always wants to be near you then that is strong indicator of strong emotional attachments forming. Take note if they always stand next to you, or let’s say you’re in a group setting, and they’re walking behind – they ensure that they are walking directly behind you. Nearness indicates comfort and possessiveness (but not in the bad sense).
Grooming
Notice how your partner fixes their hair. Guys will often run their fingers through their hair when he’s looking at you, while girls will twirl their hair or lick their lips.
Gazing
If he/she looks you deeply in the eyes when you’re talking, then it’s sure sign of interest and attention. It’s important to know that when a man is falling for a woman, he will give her a straight on stare. While women tend give the sideways look that is slow and warming.
Smiling
Detecting whether smiles are due to presence of the other person can be tough. Some of us just naturally have bubbly and happy personalities which are conducive to non-stop smiling. But take note if your partner generally seems to laugh more around you, or you catch them smiling in their sleep.
Copying
If your partner is mimicking your style or your particular gestures, that means that they are paying closing attention to what you do and are subconsciously mirroring you.
