The Body Language Project: Dating, Attraction and Sexual ... - Wuala

Overall, any motion a woman makes toward a man,
such as an extended hand or foot, can be taken in
some small way to mean interest. Generally if a
woman breaks the barrier that exists between the
two of you she is most likely interested. The
barrier between two people is defined as the
halfway mark. If she is really shy she will only
send her eyes with fleeting gazes though. The more
extroverted she is, the more obvious she will be
with her body language. Gesticulations (using
hands in conversation) often increase as the interest
of a woman increases as well and the hands will
most prominently be moving toward you. Thus,
you can expect an interested woman to move her
arms more and quicker, as well as in your direction.
might also look at how far apart her legs are, as leg
spread is also an indicator of interest. Another sign
that she likes you and is comfortable around you is
the dangling of a shoe on the toes. Want to test this
out? Do something that will frighten her, like yell
loudly at her or move toward her quickly. Then sit
back and notice how quickly she puts her shoe back
on!
Scarlett is again showing interest with legs crossed toward
Dave. She is also very likely to be aroused by what he is
saying, or simply by his presence, which is indicated by the fact
that she is touching and stroking her neck. She has opened up
her body posture by reaching for her glass, and shows strong
eye contact, which are all positive. Dave is in good shape here.
Scarlet is showing that she wants to move closer to Dave
without actually doing so. Can you see why? Her right leg
is pointing and extended toward Dave. We point and look
in the direction we want our bodies to be.
SHOWING INTEREST THROUGH
LEG CROSSING
Interested women will cross their legs toward you.
If a woman is standing, she will use her toes to
signal by pointing them toward you. She may even
extend a leg in your direction which is a way to
shrink separation. If she crosses her legs at the ankle
you will have to use other accompanying signs such
as open body postures (palms up and uncrossed
arms) to determine her interest. If she does not
cross her legs at all, then look to see how much of
her thigh is exposed. A great degree of thigh
exposure is both sexy and a signal of interest. You
While sitting, women often cross their legs to
display them and to appear more ladylike. The
higher she crosses her leg over her thigh, the
stronger her interest. She might also add in extra
signals such as smiling, playing with her hair or
grooming you. Be sure to watch for the leg
cross/re-cross. If she crosses and uncrosses her legs
rather slowly she is adding more to her display.
This is especially the case if she uncrosses and recrosses
her legs more frequently in front of you.
This has a strong effect because she is allowing the
inside of her thigh to be exposed (Sharon Stone,
anyone?).
