What is the message that is being received? Is it the verbal or the nonverbal that we listen to most? Think of politicians that have done well in the polls until they meet face to face in a debate. Simple body language has been the undoing of many a politician. It is the message that is received that often counts most and body language can be the over-riding factor.

When words and body language don’t match, it is probably best to put your faith in the body language.

Who needs a lie detector when you have body language – it is a window to your true feelings; although not always as simple as black and white. Just keep in mind that some people are good at disguising their movements. Some men and women alike are after all excellent liars.

If someone is a bad liar, watch for certain signals!

Of course we have all heard that a liar can’t look you straight in the eye. Now some good ones can… but certainly not doing so should raise a caution flag and you should start looking for the closest exit. Rubbing one’s nose continuously while they are speaking is a sure-fire way of knowing that they are telling one of those “little white lies”.

If it is a big old whopper of a lie then the arms will start flailing to their side fully outstretched. Sweating, chewing finger nails or chewing the inside of their mouth are other signs humans send that should set off flares of warning.

How To Interpret Other Body Language Signals

The next time you meet or are introduced to Mr. Right you may do well to watch and observe how he uses his body language and listen to what it has to say. Is he standing with his arms crossed in front of him or are hands in his pockets or behind his back? This tells you that he is unsure of you or hiding something. Lean forward and smile. If he uncrosses his hands then he is more accepting of your offer of friendship.

Or in contrast is he standing or sitting up straight with a welcoming smile with upturned palms in an open armed gesture? His feet at a slightly parted stance or legs slightly apart and turned in your direction if seated? Then these are signs that he is open and attracted to you. You have his attention.

Mirroring each others body language is often done subconsciously and is a sign of friendship and agreement. Watch people at social gatherings as they start out talking, making friends if you will, you will often see them mirror one another.

A Little Less Conversation

Should the conversation turn to say the subject of politics? You know there will be certain disagreement on such a hotly debated topic. As people begin to disagree there body language will change and subconsciously start to do exactly the opposite of the what the other person is doing as they are no longer in harmony.

Holding Hands

How does he hold your hand and what is he saying in the way he holds it? Does this make a difference?

The fact that he is holding your hand is good. After all he is holding your hand. Holding your hand with your fingers interlaced with each others signifies a connection between the both of you. He feels comfortable, not threatened and he isn’t afraid to let the world around see this. It signifies that you are with him, his girl so to speak.

What if he holds your hand in a palm to palm grip? Well then the feelings are shall we say “not so much”.

And if the hand holding is inattentive, lacks, loose, so much so that if you let go, your hand will drop. Well then it is most likely time to drop him as that is what he is telling you about the relationship.

He can’t keep his hands off his face or out of his hair. Well it may be time to wash him out of your hair. He trying to draw attention away from what he is talking about and it may be best to suggest he gives the truth a try.

On the other hand, if you find that he touches you frequently during conversation then he is most interested in more than just what you have to say. He is communicating in a physical way and is not afraid to show it to you and those around you.
