As humans we display confidence through use of body language, both consciously and unconsciously. Our posture, handshake, eye contact, hand placement and body position all convey meaning. But what exactly is body language attraction?

Is It In His/Her Eyes?

First keep in mind that the eyes have a language of their own that, coupled with body gestures, invite or deter others from approaching and engaging us in conversation. Think about it for just a moment.

Men and women display their body language differently. Men demonstrate dominance while women use more submissive body language – letting the male know it is safe to approach.

Men, if interested, start with a look in her direct direction but don’t stare; five to six seconds should do it. Staring longer is stalking and may want her call 911 instead of giving you her number. So control yourself and let her know that you are flirting with her.

And let’s not forget the impression a wave with only the middle finger extended makes upon us…sparks can fly along with tempers.
