Does anybody know much about body language? Is it possible to tell whether he/she likes you or not, just by looking at them?
This follows on from our latest Lovelife article: http://ned.thesite.org.uk/relationships/lovelife/the_body_language_of_lurve.html

if when talkin u touch the other person,
hope thats of some little use!
c ya
love helly
everyone should try and look their best..
i dont really like show off's tho... see thru...
I think that it is possible to tell what a person is thinking from what they are doing, or how they are doing it! Don't ask me how though!

Live Life On The Edge!
Males and females
Body pointing - take note of the feet. If they point in your direction and not to someone else, the door etc it's a sure sign that they are interested (this applies to males and females, in both sexual and non-sexual instances).
Apparently if they like you, their pupils dilate (get bigger) and is automatic (light does affect this also - which is why some places are dimmly lit. Dilated pupils are supposed to make you look more attractive ??
Preening as mentioned in the article.
Males
Hands in pockets or tucked into their belts are a pretty sure sign that they are interested - allowing your attention to be drawn to certain areas.
Women
Playing with the hair, stroking/playing with objects and exposing the wrists are also signs.
I'm sure there are many more which I can't think of or don't know of but they seem to be the most common.
i think it is possible to tell. if a guy has his hands in his pockets thats a sure sign... <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
The more sand that escapes through the hourglass of time, the clearer we should be able to see through it.
If you are interested in someone, DONT FOLD UR ARMS, as this is a sign that you are on the defensive. You can always tell if they face you and move their arms to reveal more of their body.
I can always tell when my gf is horny for instance when her pupils dilate, the same goes for women that you meet in a club or bar.
oh and alcohol dilates your pupils too, so whowhere your club ladies might just be pissed <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
yeah id agree with the arm crossing thing.. leg crossing i do all the time and i change them about, not according to who i fancy, maybe it doesnt work anymore coz im aware of it and so its not very subconscious!!
and yep, id agree with what lolly said about looking and looking away, you can do it on purpose if you're flirting, blokes sometimes notice that (theyr'e rubbish at taking hints!), especially if you look at them longer than usual, and add a smile in at the end! once spent 4 hours flirting with a bloke on a train like this! lol shoulda talked to him... he was sooooo sexy, but i was going to visit my boyfriend at the time <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif"> shame!!!! he got on at my stop as well! been gutted about that for the last 6 months! lol bet he was like my soulmate or something, typical...
If you don't know where you're going, you'll probably end up somewhere else.
Being subconscious means you aren't aware of it! which is the whole point.
cher, clueless
i'm not denying that women are stupid; God made us to match the men.
& if you pick your nose & they fart, you know you're on a winner

Sick lady!!
I've not lost my mind it's inserted elsewhere - hence the limp.

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
when i flirt,hmmm...i tend to play with my hair a lot, flicking it or putting it behind my ears. obvious huh?? tho sometimes i do still fold my arms! i guess it's my little gestures...
1) Touching of hair & face especially copying wot u r doin.
2) Dilated pupils.
3) Facing the same way as the other person (e.g towards u & u towards them)
4) Wetting/moistening of lips.
There were a few others but i can't remember them all!
I really hope that all of ur assumptions on body language r right, coz i have noticed pretty much all of them in the person i am MADLY in love with! I just havent been able 2 buck up the courage 2 tell him how i feel yet! Oh well... keep ur fingers crossed 4 me! Cheerz!
Luv yaz,

Good luck and I hope it does work out. But just a word of warning - don't get carried away with the idea of body language showing if a guy likes you, I know I did <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif"> I read too much into his movements and convinced myself he fancied me too, then it all fell down when I asked him out *shudders at the memory*
does it mean anything at all??

I guess any kind of body language could be good because people express themselfs differently, some people insult others when they like then, its down to the person init...
I guess so long as they don't throw up on you your doing alright
having said that.. even if that should unfortunatly happen then that might just be down to the person being ill from food poisoning or something <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/wink.gif">
Who's name does God use in vain?
Also, the fleeting-glance that seems to be associated just with girls I do also, so maybe its more a broad action.
Is it correct? Are there any statements that are completely wrong?

wiv any luck ull come out positive cuz u know she likes u 2
<laughs at that shite analogy>
fucking talk2 her, if she dnt like u its her loss, go find another one that will. if u expect every girl u like to like u then ur in trouble ma friend....cuz ull neva find one that does cuz ull b 2 scared to ask
