Body language while dating

One of the most important things you can do with body language is learnto pick up cues from people that youare making them uncomfortable.If you sensitize yourself to these simple cues, over time, people will have the experience of feeling more relaxed, at ease, and open with you (and to you).

In any case, they're quite simple, but most people don't pay enough attentionto them:

Signs that someone is becoming uncomfortable:

rocking

leg swinging

tapping

Theses are the first signals of tension and indicate that the person feels intruded upon or nervous. Ifit escalates, these signals are often followed by:

intermittent closing of the eyes

slight tucking of the chin into the chest

shoulder hunching

Basically, learn to watch for these, andthen adjust your approach. Sometimes just taking one step back, ... or ceasing talking and getting the other person to talk to you instead will be all it takes to ease the tension.
